The house in the foreground built in 1907 by a wealthy lawyer burned down last night with the loss of 5 lives. :(

After the original owners lost it due to legal problems it was a doctor's home and office for many years. Later it was converted into apartments.

Beautiful. Such a loss.

:cry: The best burger restaurant on the North Fork is closing.

Longtime North Fork Eatery To Close: 'End Of An Era'
O'Mally's was sold and a new restaurant, Senor Taco Mexican Grill is set to open its doors at the site.


https://patch.com/new-york/riverhead/s/ ... 8cvE6sRm9A
After years of serving up mouthwatering burgers, chili, corn fritters and other crowd-pleasing fare, an iconic North Fork eatery will close Sunday as O'Mally's serves its last customers.

According to Steve Pablatos, who manages the eatery — owned by Jimmy and Kelly Kokotas — the restaurant was sold. A new location of Senor Taco Mexican Grill will be opening at the site, located at 44780 Route 48.

Senor Taco confirmed the news and said the goal is that the restaurant will reopen sometime in the spring; Senor Taco also has locations in Wading River, Mt. Sinai, and Holbrook.

O'Mallys was purchased from former owner Phil Mannino — who'd helmed the spot since 2001 — by the Kokotas family in 2014. The Kokotas family has other businesses in Brooklyn, Pablatos said.

Daily confirmed COVID-19 cases in Suffolk, on a 7-day rolling average, soared 170% over the past month. The test percent-positive rate grew by more than 108%. New confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Suffolk reached 1,800 on Dec. 15, the highest number since January. Daily hospitalizations in Suffolk, on a 7-day rolling average, have also more than doubled and daily new admissions have nearly tripled.

Even in my liberal state, and in a liberal county, I see far too many people ignoring the mandatory wearing of masks in public places. And you just know that the non-maskers are also anti-vaxxers. I avoid them. But people just have to do their family holiday meetings, so it's inevitable.

The worst part is that the anti-vax non-maskers will of course clog the hospitals in the liberal counties, because the conservative counties can't handle that many COVID sick people.

Peconic Bay Scallops Can Be Found, In Limited Supply, At A Price
There aren't many to be had but yes, Virginia, there is a Peconic Bay scallop Santa Claus: The delectable bites are available — for a price.


https://patch.com/new-york/riverhead/s/ ... =riverhead
In November, fans of the mouthwatering Peconic Bay scallops were disappointed once again when the season turned out to be less-than-stellar, with few scallops available.

But on social media, photos of the elusive, delectable morsels began appearing more widely this week. Some local fish markets say they've had the beauties all along this year — although in far fewer numbers than in past years.

:snippity:

Peconic Bay scallops range from $50 to $55 a lb. on the North Fork and up to $82 per lb. on the South Fork, according to Charlie Manwaring, owner of the Southold Fish Market.

Scallops are steeped in both North Fork history and in beginnings of the family business, Homan said.
Wow! :shock: Before the shortages of the last 3 years we thought $20 a lb was a high price.

Guess I won't be eating Peconic Bay scallops anytime soon. So sea scallops it is. Frozen, from South America.

I ordered chicken wings last night. It was the first time the restaurant has had it in a year. When I said I wanted the wings, he warned me the price had gone up. It went from about $11/dozen to $17/dozen. We probably won't be taking it out again too soon.

COVID-19 cases continue to soar as county sets new daily record; more testing sites opening

https://riverheadnewsreview.timesreview ... I8uLXBRw1A
Total patients in Suffolk County hospitalized rose to 544 on Monday — a 246% increase from the beginning of the month when the number stood at 157.

Just over 24,000 new cases were recorded in Suffolk over a one-week period from Dec. 22-28 —an average of more than 3,400 per day as the omicron variant fuels a vast spread even among those who are vaccinated.

New York has continued to set new records for daily cases and again hit a new mark on Tuesday with 67,090 cases for a positivity rate of 18.5%. Suffolk County set its own record on Tuesday with 4,577 new cases. It marked the fourth time in the last week that the county set a new single-day record for cases.

The county’s positivity rate now stands at 17.6% on a seven-day average.

Suffolk County has recorded record-breaking new cases every day since Dec. 22, when the 3,268 new confirmed cases outstripped the previous high of 2,194 recorded on Jan. 6, 2021, the peak of last winter’s surge. Here's what's happening in the region, plus a look at where things stand at Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead.

https://riverheadlocal.com/2022/01/02/r ... Q7B556M8ko
Long Island’s test positivity rates were higher than any other region in the state at nearly 23%, outpacing even NYC, which recorded a nearly 21% test positivity rate.
