The Pines Pantry, Fire Island Pines’ only grocery store, originally opened as Ship’N Shore on July 18, 1953 (my birthday!). For @tmagazine, I spoke to its longtime owners, the Schraders, about its history, operations, and how they get their iconic teen employees to deal with all the poppers and speedos. Enjoy these incredible photos by @danielterna, and a glorious selfie I took in one of the employee bathrooms. (And thanks to @nickkharamis for thinking of me, and dealing with my incessant emails) ✨ LINK IN BIO
