Shop 'Til You Drop: Danger Island, Ghost Blueberries and North Fork Trolley
If you’ve wandered down Amagansett’s Main Street lately, you may have wondered what’s going to fill the storefront next to Indian Wells Tavern? The building that formerly housed The Outdoors Store, Encore Sports, and Flowers by Beth, has been divvied up. Half of it is occupied by Ille Arts, and the other half will now be home to Lazy Point Boutique. The shop is a year-round stop for eclectic furniture, jewelry, art and clothing from all over the world. Each season’s collection is curated based on a theme. This year’s collection, “Danger Island,” will feature works from artists all over the world, including Long Island. Find Lazy Point Boutique at 208 Main Street in Amagansett.
