There have almost always been wealthy folks on the east end. From the beginnings the lands were fertile and the western settlements were successful. The history of the Hamptons is comprised of hard work achievement and accomplishments. In the beginning, farm lands stretched to the ocean, or close to it. It is tough not to imagine even farmers...

If you have never attended a Montauk Friends of Erin St. Patrick’s Day Parade you are missing out on something special. Every east ender should sample the pure piece of “Americana” that this parade surely is at least once. The parade will be held on Sunday March 27, 2022, starting at noon. Beware - attendance is usually around...

Before the pandemic, finding a place to use a sauna wasn’t a big deal in the Hamptons. You could use the one at the Sag Harbor Gym, you could use the steam room at the gym in Southampton and in general, you could count on any gym in the area that was going to open up, to offer...

The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons announces the arrival of three dogs and two puppies on Tuesday, March 15th to the East Hampton Airport, including a very special three-year-old Mastiff mix Zeus. Every animal ARF rescues has a story connected deeply to the place it was born. Zeus escaped euthanasia in a Louisiana shelter only to become...

One of the things I noticed my first spring living on the east end was how beautiful and powerful springtime is living near the ocean. There is a huge difference between traveling to work in Manhattan than driving from Montauk to Bridgehampton to get to an office. With the clocks now moved back and the amount of sunlight...

They broke down with a flat tire and were arrested in Manorville. When I heard about this news, I was completely...

With mask mandates ending, and vaccination politics subsiding, the east end world is springing back to life. That means live shows and big parties along with fancy galas will no longer be considered health-risking events. I have always been a people watching person, and the east end in prime season is the Super Bowl of people watching. It...

Katy’s Courage will be hosting their tenth annual skate-a-thon at Buckskill Winter Club on Saturday, March 12th beginning at 10:30 a.m. Katy’s Courage is a non-profit organization that honors Katy Stewart, a precious little girl who inspired all who knew her throughout her short lifetime before she passed away of a rare pediatric cancer at 12 years young.

Covid-19 feels like it's come to an end, at least the hysteria of it all anyway, and without a doubt, it has fundamentally changed the Hamptons. Not only has every New Yorker that can make $500k a year on Zoom has bought or is currently stalking real estate out here, but the dynamics of who is local is...
