1. The doors have opened! Crate & Barrel is open for business in Suite 306 near Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams and Samsonite Factory Outlets at Tanger Outlets in Riverhead. "Since we first announced Crate & Barrel was joining Tanger Outlets, the excitement around the brand has been incredible," said Tanger Outlets Riverhead Marketing Director Lesley Anthony. "We welcome shoppers to visit the impressive storefront and discover great savings on quality home décor and furniture." (Riverhead Patch)
2. "The Laramie Project" opened at the North Fork Community Theatre in Mattituck and will be playing through March 13. "It is a chilling and challenging reminder about the depths of hatred and the heights of humanity within ourselves and our communities," Dan's Papers wrote. The Laramie Project is a seminal work of documentary theater by Moisés Kaufman and the members of Tectonic Theater Project. (Dan's Papers)
