I spent many happy hours at Canio’s looking over the wonderful and ... by Staff Writer

I found it light, easy to read and informative without going off the page with a lot of tangents (perhaps the exception being Robert Dash’s bloody mary recipe, which I view as a service). The Press is fortunate to have such a talented and entertaining reporter. Ian Carson Hampton Bays by Staff Writer
