Indie Opens in Commack

Indie, a sister boutique to Emily Sky geared for teens and young women, celebrated its grand opening Thursday at the Peppertree Commons in Commack.

Like it’s namesake, Indie, is all about empowering teens and young women to be themselves. The store’s slogan touts, “Be you, be true, be Indie,” emphasizing the belief in expressing one’s individuality and not just following the crowd. In addition to clothes, Indie also sells shoes and accessories. To meet the needs of their younger clientele, the store also has a price cap. Every item in the shop is less than $100.

HAUPPAUGE

A 'Blend' of Food and Fun

It’s all about relaxed fun at Blend Wine and Tapas in Hauppauge, which has made its outdoor patio a local entertainment destination.

Every Thursday through Saturday, and sometimes Sunday, musicians play live music for guests at Blend on the outdoor patio, which features a large, fully stocked bar and tables. The atmosphere carries a more relaxed feel than Pace’s Steakhouse, and lends itself to being a place where residents go to unwind on the weekend.
