Canio's of Sag Harbor, with Maryann Calendrille and Kathryn Szoka

Esperanza and Irwin welcome Canio's of Sag Harbor proprietors Maryann Calendrille and Kathryn Szoka. Canio's has had a long and storied history in Sag Harbor. In 1980, Canio Pavone fulfilled his dream of owning a bookstore, when riding past the Upper Main Street storefront with a For Rent sign on the door in a very different, and long gone Sag Harbor. It quickly became a source of community, and has stayed that way since Maryann and Kathryn bought it in 1999, putting their unique stamp on the store, while maintaining many Canio traditions. We talk of all of that and more, including the unfortunate news of this Sag Harbor institution losing it's lease at the end of September 2024. Canio's hopes to resurface elsewhere, and Maryann and Kathryn will reinvent Canio's in the near term. A poignant Our Hamptons podcast.
