Thanksgiving will be different at our house this year — starting with a change of venue, because social distancing won't work at our house, built when "cozy" was good. And that's just the beginning.

Part of Riverhead and Hampton Bays have been designated a COVID-19 “yellow zone” micro-cluster, bringing a number of new restrictions on business, schools and social gatherings, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced this morning.

Cuomo did not say which parts of the county are headed for micro-cluster designation, but his slide showing 'Highest Rates in New York State' includes three Suffolk hamlets. Hamlets singled out by county executive last week —Riverhead and Hampton Bays — not listed.
