New Sag Harbor Pub Puts the Focus on Food
After operating Phao restaurant on Sag Harbor's Main Street for six years, Jesse Matsuoka said he found that while patrons enjoyed the fare, they just weren't coming back frequently enough.
Enter, The Cuddy.
A gastropub by definition offers an increased attention to food, while still offering the atmosphere of a bar. Matsuoko hopes that combination at The Cuddy – open since mid-April – brings customers back. And with regularity.

Gone Local Owner: I Paid My Rent, I'm Staying
Gone Local isn't going anywhere, at least not right now.
The Amagansett business was told to vacate the Main Street storefront by Thursday, after the landlords, Pat Trunzo and David Saskas, leased the space to another local business. They gave Susan Seitz-Kulick, who only had a month-to-month lease for the five years she ran the business, one month's notice. Playing into her decision to dig in her heels was the fact that she has had a hard time finding a new location. Rents are high and any affordable space was already rented for the summer season.
NORTH FORK
New Business Offers Local Crops, Products to Your Door
Don't feel like going out to a farmers market in the rain? Or just don't have the time? Go to one ... at your computer.
A digital farmers market has sprouted on the North Fork in Kassata Bollman's Farm 2 Kitchen Long Island, a service that connects people at home with local farmers by offering them the chance to pick what they want – online – then have it delivered to their door.
Launched by a former journalist who found a particular interest in sustainable farming, the company branches beyond just food as well, offering customers the chance to pick at hand-crafted items from holistic dog treats to candles to soaps.
Less than two years after opening its doors on Pulaski Street, Long Ireland Beer Company is expanding its production to include a machine-run bottling operation, an upgrade from the special bottle releases it has offered in the past, and one of the first of Long Island's new batch of breweries to make the jump.
Long Ireland started offering its Celtic Ale in six packs recently, using a bottling machine that came with the equipment they purchased when they started up, to pump the product out through Clare Rose Distributors. Co-owner Dan Burke said that the brewery can bottle about 15 cases per hour with the machine, allowing the Riverhead brewery to step into a share of the marketplace it previously was limited in.
