Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update February 29, 2024

February 29, 2024 By Bill Leahy

A scene from “Summer Song.”  See below for more!

SUMMER SONG is a three-minute video showing clips of a family vacation filmed in Stone Harbor, set to a catchy tune aptly named “The Summer” by Josh Pyke.  The video is 15 years old but features high quality clips, and it’ll put a smile on your face.  Take a three-minute break from winter, and enjoy a bit of summer!  Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoijsH-IFyI

QUESTION: WHAT’S OPEN FOR DINNER?  Answer: Lots of places, especially on weekends!  There are some tried and true island favorites that are open seven days a week, such as The Princeton,  Polpo, Avalon Brew Pub, The Reeds at Shelter Haven, and Fred’s Tavern, plus many more that are now open on weekends, such as The Rock-n-Chair, Ristorante Luciano, and Spiaggetta.  More will be opening up in the coming weeks.  If you’re here—during the week or on the weekend—check online for hours, and to make reservations!

THE STONE HARBOR FARMERS MARKET will move from the water tower lot to the 94th Street parking lot this summer.  More space at the 94th Street lot will allow for both more vendors and shoppers when the popular market is open on summer Sundays.

85 DAYS UNTIL MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!  That’s right, the unofficial summer kick off weekend is less than three months away!

IT’S A LEAP YEAR…TAKE A LEAP, and purchase your own shore property!  How about a small condo, a luxury townhouse, a rental property, or a beachfront castle?  Take the leap, and create your very own “Summer Song!”  Call or email me to get started!
