Here are the top stories in Riverhead today:

1. A Tasting Flight For Pie Lovers Who Just Can't Decide: Thanksgiving is coming. With so many kinds of pie, and so little time to decide, 1760 Homestead Farm in Riverhead has found a way forward – the pie flight. Owner Larry Kaiser described the family meeting at which his son suggested that deciding what pie to eat from the six enticing confections they offer, was kind of like deciding what beer to drink at a craft brewery.

2. What's Happening On The North Fork This First Weekend In November: Tune into this week’s Northforker weekend podcast to hear staffers chat about weekend happenings and events worth checking out on the North Fork, including campfire, wreath-making and beekeeping events. (Northforker)
3. Riverhead Appoints Its First Female Police Lieutenant: Sgt. Danielle Willsey was promoted to the rank of lieutenant by the town board during a ceremony at the beginning of the board’s regular meeting. Willsey, who first joined the department in 2006, was promoted to the rank of sergeant in July 2018. Willsey placed first on the Department of Civil Service list for lieutenant, according to the resolution passed unanimously by the town board. (RiverheadLOCAL)
