East End Business Notebook: Ice Rink; BBQ on the Beach and More

Take a look at the week's biggest business news on the East End.

Mattituck is now home to a place where you can get fish tacos — and a whole lot more in the realm of seafood — for lunch and dinner. The Crazy Fork opened up last Friday in the space occupied for seven years by the , which closed three months ago. Deli owner Danielle Grzegorczyk brought in chef Dave Distenfeld to help transform the place from outdated deli to a casual and affordable family friendly spot for fresh and fried seafood – something that Distenfeld saw as a missing niche in Mattituck.


The Crazy Fork offers traditional appetizers like oysters on the half shell, clams casino, and — yes — fish tacos; salads, soups and fried baskets; and sandwiches in the $9 to $15 dollar range. Entrees include stuffed flounder, seafood and chicken gumbo and a five-spiced rubbed tuna all for under $20.

Food delivery is a luxury most leave behind in the city for the beaches.

But,  in Sagaponack is bringing barbecue and all the fixings to customers who are enjoying a day at  in East Hampton Village and don't want to leave.

Deliveries began last summer and are back by popular demand. From noon to 2 p.m. every day, Townline will make deliveries to the beach.

Families hoping to take their kids for a spin on the ice might soon have a new rink in Riverhead to enjoy.

Ray Pickersgill, president of the Riverhead Business Improvement District, and Chris Kempner, Riverhead Town community development director, came before the board at their Thursday work session to discuss proposed plans for an ice rink that would be located near the Peconic Riverfront, behind the Riverhead Diner & Grill, near the town's comfort station.

The project would cost approximately $230,000, with approximately $100,000 secured by a county grant, Kempner said. 

As promised, Westhampton developer Andrew Mendelson appeared before the Trustees on August 2, to request a public hearing for a 40,000 square-foot supermarket that he is proposing to construct on 4.2 acres that he owns on Old Riverhead Road.

Standing at the podium, Mendelson said, "I'd like the new board members to give this serious consideration and give the public a chance to weigh in. That is all I am asking for tonight."

The statement comes after Mendelson, on July 30, submitted a request to the village, requesting that the use "grocery store" be added to the village's B-3 district and that the portion of his property that is zoned Industrial be rezoned to the B-3 district. 

After 20 years building public relations firmWordHampton, founder Steve Haweeli is formally taking his words west, with the launch of Metro Restaurant Marketing this month.

After contemplating expanding the scope his company serves for the past year and a half, Haweeli said on Tuesday that upon considering which market(s) to enter, only one was left on the list after all was said and done.

even worse?...When I had the publisher of North Fork Magazine contact me regarding the blatantRead More violation, what were his comments?? To add further insult to injury, he said & I quote: "I thought I was doing Greenport a favor...all of the businesses there are suffering...this paper doesn't make any money...sure I have advertisers but they don't pay their invoices...maybe if the cover of the magazine brings business to Greenport, maybe those merchants will pay their bill.."

Better yet, rather than pay mag's invoice. send $$$ to Artist.

And he really still doesn't see that he's stealing from the artist to 'bring business to Greenport'?Read More The effrontery of his comment leaves me aghast. Of ALL people who should grasp the concept of plagiarism and copyright laws, it should be a newspaper editor/publisher! Cropping out her signature proves they knew full well that they were stealing her work. I'd suggest the artist contact a copyright attorney pronto. I'm always astonished when something like this occurs when a simple phone call to the artist might have been successful in allowing him to use her work WITH her signature intact instead of doing something so underhanded.

I've just tried to do a Google search for you and from what I've found you need to either check withRead More your local library to see if they have one they might lend you--OR--try Audio/Visual online companies. There are some which DO rent projectors for days or weekends. I have one but just checked with my husband and at the very least it needs a replacement bulb(which are fairly expensive)--hasn't been looked at in years so there's no way I could guarantee it would work. You've definitely given me an idea, though--I'll get mine in shape at some point and rent it to folks for a nominal sum. I'm sure there are many others who have old film they'd enjoy viewing for family reunions as would my own family. Good luck. If you don't succeed for next weekend, you have other options. At the very least you might be able to have the film transposed to a DVD and distributed to your family members although that's costly too, depending on how many copies you need. Just a thought, but you could add the old footage in with some taken AT the reunion as a nice follow-up gift for the attendees?

I think it adds character.

a foto of the old jail in Greenport would have more character than a wooden sign but beauty is inRead More the eyes of the beholder.
