It wasn’t your average paint night.

“I think I like option A,” he says.
His brother Bob, seated across from him, cracks a wry smile.
“Funny, I think I like option B,” he says with a chuckle. (more…)

An afternoon of pampering at Special Effects Salon in Greenport just got a little more enjoyable. The full-service salon and spa recently opened the Special Tea House to compliment services provided by owner Debbie Schade and her daughter, Victoria, at the Main Street storefront.
