Free Ride at “The End”

The shuttle will make three stops along Main Street and four along South Emerson Avenue at the main town beach, near the Sloppy Tuna, and at Atlantic Terrace. Each cart holds five passengers and is fueled not only by electricity, but also by the colorful advertisements on its sides.
Second Retreat Boutique
People looking for gently used items can now sort through the wares at the Retreat Boutique Too at 30 Park Place in East Hampton. It joins the Retreat’s flagship store in the Bridgehampton Commons.
The Retreat, a nonprofit organization that provides domestic-violence services, turns clothing, furniture, and other household goods into tax deductions for donors and treasure for shoppers. The new location is only paces from the Ladies Village Improvement Society’s Bargain Box, another thrift store in East Hampton Village.
