Recently a New York City tabloid once again wrote about the Montauk Trailer Park on 180 DeForest Road. Officially known as the Montauk Condominium Association, a unit (trailer) there, located near the ocean shore of Ditch Plains, was sold for a reported $3.7M. I actually once lived in a rented room in that complex for 3 years. The...

Bernie, a 95-pound pit bull with a giant head and an even bigger heart came into my life 5 years ago when I adopted him from Southampton Animal Shelter. Unfortunately, Bernie recently passed on, but the mark he has left on not only my life, but all the peoples’ lives he met along the way—and the Hamptons—has been...

My enjoyment about the return of Bald Eagles on Long Island grows every time I spot one. Last week I observed two. I have been discouraged from naming specific locations. However, East End ornithologists (bird experts) know most of the locations. Sometimes they will stand below the huge nests with either binoculars or a high-powered camera or both....

On Tuesday, the weather was pushing the high 50s in the Hamptons. I happened to be in Amagansett and was just leaving Romaine Gordon’s open houses at Handy Lane, so of course I had to check out the beach at Georgica in East Hampton. I was stunned, not just by the beauty, but by the weather! There was...

On Saturday, February 11th the Southampton Animal Shelter hosted a sold-out Puppy Love event at elegant Main Prospect Restaurant in Southampton Village. Attendees (including my husband and me) enjoyed a delectable four-course prix fixe dinner with wine pairings--a different wine for each course. The food, wines and service were all top of the line.
