The site formerly occupied by Blue Duck Cafe on East Main Street in Riverhead is now slated to become Antigua Cafe.
The business will be owned by Mary Ellis Nunez, whose family also runs the Village Delicatessen on East Main Street, along with other East End restaurants and delis.
The proposed cafe would occupy part of a three-store complex called Mirah Max. Currently, two of the building’s storefronts are vacant, with only Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices and Ice Creams still active.
