Welcome back, North Fork neighbors and friends! Here's everything you need to know to get this Saturday started off right.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 58 Low: 44.

Here are the top stories today on the North Fork:

  1. Can Hamptons, North Fork home markets get any tighter? You bet: On the North Fork, "Even with asking prices way up from a year or two ago, even for small and dated houses, bidding wars have been a feature in 40 percent of home sales in two of the past three months," The Real Deal reports. (The Real Deal)
  2. Shelter Island Photo Op: Taking flight: News from the Shelter Island Pilots Association. (Shelter Island Reporter; subscription required.)
  3. Man Robbed At Gunpoint In Riverhead: Police: A man was robbed at gunpoint in Riverhead Thursday night, police said. According to Riverhead Town police, the robbery took place at 8:08 p.m. on West Main Street. A Riverhead man, 32, said while he was walking west, he was pulled into an alley near a liquor store by a Black man he didn't know, who tried to grab his electric scooter, police said. He told the man that the scooter didn't work; the thief then brandished a silver handgun and demanded everything in his pockets, police said. (Patch)
  4. Gallery Cafe now serving breakfast and lunch at Kon-Tiki space in Greenport: "The Gallery Cafe, a new restaurant concept by Chef Cheo Avila and Chef de Cuisine Ryan Barth-Dwyer, has opened at the Gallery Hotel," the Northforker reports. (Northforker)
