elcome to the Thanksgiving issue of North Fork Real Estate Showcase. This has always been my favorite season here on the North Fork, and this year the weather cooperated by remaining balmy right through October. The farm stands and wineries were brimming with happy customers enjoying the bountiful harvest and the very best that the North Fork has to offer. Featured on this month’s front cover Thomas McCloskey of Douglas Elliman Real Estate presents a spectacular waterfront property in Laurel (page 7). With panoramic views over the great Peconic Bay, this meticulously renovated home also comes with a waterfront cabana. This is quintessential North Fork living at its very best! Also in this issue, before you plan your Thanksgiving meal, be sure to check out Rachel Bosworth’s “Step Up Your Holiday Game,” for some Thanksgiving recipes from North Fork chefs; “North Fork Gifts to Love,” a guide for shopping locally this coming holiday season and “Holiday Must Haves,” for some unique gift ideas from local North Fork shops; Ruth Thomas’ “Best Deals,” for some great fall real estate values on the North Fork; Sam Wilson’s “For All Time,” featuring Jamesport photographer David Benthal’s remarkable wedding photography; and Anne Halpin’s “Bedtime for the Garden,” for some tips on preparing your garden for the coming winter season. For what’s happening on the North Fork, don’t forget to read “Sound Bytes” (page 18), as well as our newly curated North Fork events calendar (page 26). All of us at North Fork Real Estate Showcase wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving – one filled with joy and gratitude for our many blessings. Enjoy the issue!

NORTH FORK HAPPENINGS BY RACHEL BOSWORTH

early every North Fork weekend is packed with events. From annual celebrations to grand openings, the holiday season is full of

things to do. Friends and family will be flocking into town, so we suggest trying some new restaurants, visiting old favorites, taking part in community events, and much more the area has to offer. There are also new shops to explore just in time for holiday shopping and decorating. Here’s what’s new and happening on the North Fork this month… EAST ON MAIN

There are few restaurants on the North Fork open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. New to the scene is EAsT on Main, occupying the former Four Doors restaurant and bar in Mattituck. The revamped, rustic space is designed to speak to the North Fork’s fishing and farming lifestyle. Menus include comfort food items like down home fried chicken and waffles, sea and coop crab cakes and eggs, and meat lover’s omelet for breakfast. Fried mac and

BEDTIME FOR THE GARDEN TIPS FOR PREPARING YOUR GARDEN BEFORE WINTER

BY ANNE HALPIN

Photo: Shutterstock

inter is a time of rest for gardeners on the North Fork. But before winter sets in, it’s wise to clean up the garden and

prepare the plants that will remain in place through the cold weather. Cleaning up the garden can remove pests that would overwinter on plant debris and can help prevent problems next spring. Do a final weeding and put the weeds and other plant debris, that are not diseased, on the compost pile if you have one. Bring in stakes, row covers no longer in use, and grow netting. Bring clay pots, hoses and tools indoors for winter storage. Winter is a good time to clean, oil and sharpen tools, to scrub out and disinfect clay pots. Here is a rundown of other things you can do to get your garden ready for winter. Pull annual flowers such as impatiens and marigolds when frost kills the plants or when they stop blooming, and put the plants on the compost pile or dispose of them. Cut back perennials at the end of the growing season, too. Cut back stems to 3 to 4 inches from the ground. This summer’s intense heat and humidity were tough on East End gardens. Perhaps, like me, you had to cut your plants back early if the weather turned them brown. If your flower garden includes plants with woody stems, such as santolina, lavender and perovskia (Russian sage), do not cut these back in fall. If pruned in early fall they could send out new growth that would be very susceptible to winterkill. Instead, cut them back in spring. To protect the roots of perennials from being heaved out of the ground during alternate periods of freezing and thawing, mulch them when the ground freezes. Spread several inches of a loose mulch such as bark chips, compost or shredded leaves over the garden, around and between the cut-back plants. If you planted tender bulbs in your garden, which cannot tolerate freezing, such as caladiums, canna lilies, dahlias, gladiolus, tuberous begonias, and Peruvian daffodils, dig the bulbs in fall, before frost or after the first light frost, spread them on newspapers to dry, shake off the dried soil, and store them in a frost-free place.

Lido in Greenport is a globally inspired store curated

by owner and avid traveler Heidi Kelso. She understands holiday shopping can be quite tricky, and as a general rule she buys things she would want for herself as well as items that are both original and practical.

“At Lido, we design and manufacture most of what

we sell, so most products won’t be found anywhere else and that’s something that’s important to our clients,” Kelso explains. “Some of my favorite items for winter are our hand-loomed scarves and shawls that come in cashmere and silk. They aren’t size dependent and are perfect for travel.”

Custom blankets and throws ranging from solids

to prints make for great unisex gifts from Lido. Even for oneself, they can add a warm and cozy layer to home décor easily. The store is stocked with other unique choices like Turkish towels, poufs, embroidered pillows, and more. They also carry globally-inspired women’s clothing, accessories, and jewelry.

Oversized gemstone cocktail rings are a personal

favorite of Kelso’s. “I select the stones in Jaipur and our jeweler there sets them in sterling silver,” she
