SAGAPONACK—Word on the street that the owner of the defunct Fairway Restaurant at Poxabogue Golf Course would retake the space for the 2011 season has become reality, according to the Southampton Press. This comes after the Town of Southampton spent $100k to replace the restaurant's roof and eradicate mold. How quickly the new leaseholder, Dan Murray, will be able to get the restaurant open remains in question; as one commenter at 27East.com puts it, "Let's hope for a Labor Day opening." [SH Press]
