All I can say is wow. JUST WOW! The 1770 House is the real deal. It’s some of the best fine dining that the Hamptons has to offer. Executive Chef Michael Rozzi has put together a menu that is hard to beat and the restaurant is run by long-time manager, Carol Covell. I want to get to the...

She is the author of thirteen cookbooks, including Teatime in Ireland, and she will be holding more tea-themed events in the spring. Margaret has been a resident of the Hamptons since the 80s.

Growing up in East Hampton, I’ve had the privilege to dine at some of the most delectable restaurants. I recently purchased a home in Hampton Bays and am new to the dining scene. I pass the Canoe Place Inn every day on my way to work, and it was interesting to see their renovation process. Once they finally...

Dinner is so much more than a meal, it's a connection. As we all learned during the pandemic, eating and entertaining together is a privilege and goes well beyond the food. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to attend a Chef’s Dinner Event at Sen Restaurant. The evening was a welcome reminder of how much there...

It’s been a long time since Union Burger took over the coveted space in Southampton Village and it’s no wonder why they have remained a signature destination in Southampton.

Driving through Hampton Bays, a few notable restaurants probably stand out in your mind. Unfortunately, Salvatore’s Restaurant probably isn’t one of them.   But, believe me, this will change once you eat there. I had just left the Nutcracker in Westhampton Beach with my wife and daughter, and we were getting hungry. The ballet always gives me an appetite. ...

I didn’t really know this, but you can go to La Parmigiana for a real sit-down dinner and have incredible, authentic Italian food cooked by Italians who have owned the restaurant for the last 46 years.  La Parmigiana is legit.  I went with my wife and two-year-old, and my friend's wife and two-year-old, and sat down in the...

Sant Ambroeus is a celebrated pasticceria and confetteria with origins dating back to Milan, Italy where they first opened in the 1930s. The first U.S. Sant Ambroeus location opened on Madison Avenue in 1982, quickly garnering regular guests who would gather each morning for cappuccinos or espresso, and come together for meals and homemade sweets. Sant Ambroeus’ success...
