Memorial Day observances in East Hampton begin on Sunday when members of American Legion Post 419 and the Everit Albert Herter Veterans of Foreign Wars Post will travel by bus to cemeteries from Wainscott to Montauk to pay tribute to buried veterans, with rifle squad ceremonies at each one.
New businesses in the village range from a Rolex at the old Oddfellow's Hall and Tom Brady's sports collectible shop, CardVault, to restaurants, takeout spots, and the newly revamped Hedges Inn.
A certain New York City tabloid did its best to sensationalize drone footage captured this month depicting a great white shark a few hundred feet off the Montauk shoreline, but the sighting is neither surprising nor cause for concern, a local expert insisted.
