- Fire Island's Talisman-Barrett Beach Dock, which is across the bay from Sayville, will be closed all summer after incurring significant ice damage over the winter.
- If you want to listen to live high-brow music, Little Island's summer performance calendar is full of it.
- It's time to buy your Jersey Shore beach passes if you want an early bird discount.
- President Trump is reportedly trying to work out a trade deal with Vietnam that would keep Nikes and Hokas from getting stupid expensive.
