A bit about me: I have loved visiting the North Fork since I was young. My family has a house in Southold that I try to spend as much time as possible at with my two children, where we enjoy nature, the beach, the small towns of the North Fork and all the delicious local food. If you have any news tips about events, stories or anything you want to share with your neighbors here in this new daily digest, please get in touch!
