Don't Miss: Riverhead Diner & Grill's 80th Anniversary Celebration

"Remembering Riverhead" takes place Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m.

For 80 years, the Riverhead Diner & Grill has been a go-to spot for comfort food, a restorative cuppa joe -- and the warmth and companionship of a place where a familiar face could always be found.

To commemorate decades of history, an event will be held on Oct. 23, from 4 to 6 p.m. to celebrate the Riverhead Diner & Grill's 80th anniversary, when the Landmarks Preservation Commission hosts "Remembering Riverhead."

The afternoon of story sharing and reminiscing about Riverhead and its rich history is free, with coffee, tea, and light refreshments, a photo display -- and a treasure chest of vibrant memories about Riverhead's storied past.
