Sayville Stores Closing, New Ones Arrive & Bayport Gets A Card Shop

The Silica jewelry store on South Main in Sayville is closing in the immediate future, maybe even this week, and a good portion of inventory is now at 50% off. There are no plans to reopen in another location.

Right nearby, The Goddess Shop is also in the homestretch of operation as the owner plans to close the doors by August. Keep tuned to Patch for a story later this week.

While Patch hasn’t been able to check it out just yet, there’s a new game card store open in Bayport, on Montauk Highway, just east of the new People’s Bank.

A new vintage clothing store on Main Street in Sayville, located next to the former Coming Home to Country store, is aiming to open in time for Sayville’s Springfest event on April 28. Patch will have an interview with the store’s new owners this week as well.

Seafarer on Main Street in Sayville is boasting a slew of new items this month and is offering some great sales. One is a cute Christmas tree ornament of an Adirondack beach chair with a price reduction from $12 to $7.

The second “Shop Your Neighbor Wednesday” event, the brainchild of the Sayville Chamber of Commerce, will be held on April 25.  It’s a way for chamber members to shop local and get to know each other and their merchandise.

BlackBird’s Grille, on Montauk Highway at the corner of Broadway Avenue, is now offering $7 lunch specials and now has its own WiFi for those patrons who can’t disconnect during a meal. And it’s not too early to try the oysters. They were delicious this weekend.

A real sign that summer is close is the news that Kingston’s Clam Bar, in West Sayville, will open April 20.

Don’t miss a great event this Saturday when Islip Town sponsors its Earth Day event at Sayville’s own Common Ground. Earth friendly vendors, exhibitors, music, animal exhibits, free bouncy houses, face painter, raffles, dance performance, recycled art contest, t-shirt dyeing, and even a free book giveaway by the chamber are on the agenda.

Start saving your cans and bottles and bring all your 5-cent redeemable can and bottles to the  'Cans for Kids' collection site during the event, and help send a child to camp.

The following week the Pilot Club of Sayville will host a culinary fundraiser, called Savor Sayville, on April 26 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the VFW hall on Lakeland Avenue in Sayville.
