The Dockside Bar and Grill in Sag Harbor is closed for a winter break. The restaurant is slated to reopen in mid-February.
Gula Gula Store
Luchi Masliah of Springs, the founder of Gula Gula Empanadas, has announced plans to open a store on the North Fork, in Mattituck, in the spring. Ms. Masliah, who has been selling her varieties of empanadas, which feature fresh local produce, at farmers markets and in frozen, prepackaged form for several years, has had her sights set on a brick-and-mortar shop for some time.
The new store on Pike Street will not only sell empanadas but will offer other prepared meals to go, along with grocery items.
In the meantime, Ms. Masliah is among the vendors at the weekly Saturday indoor farmers market in Riverhead.
Topping Rose Events
The next wintertime farmers market at the Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton will take place on Jan. 17 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The markets continue on the third Saturday of each month through March.
The restaurant, which recently parted ways with its celebrity chef, Tom Colicchio, also has a once-a-month lineup of cooking classes, on the third Wednesday of each month, and of special dinners. The next, on Friday, Jan. 16, will be a pig roast with wine pairings from Macari Vineyards. The cost is $95 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Reservations are required.

The cost is $49 per person plus tax and gratuity. Those who might like to stay overnight at a luxury apartment at the winery will be offered a two-night package rate.
