Even in the quaint streets of East Hampton, miles away from the nearest college, March Madness was alive and well. If not, maybe as “mad” as in college towns, Bonackers still honor the spirit of the games. I started catching early evening games during March Madness and Citta continues to be my favorite spot for the NBA Playoffs...

For coffee lovers, there’s nothing quite like heading into a local coffee joint, taking solace in the fact that it’s not an international chain. Quaint vibes alongside java that is brewed fresh and local is an experience that simply can’t be replicated at places like Starbucks, Panera, and Dunkin’. Not to say quality coffee can’t be found at...

When it comes to vineyards on the East End, the North Fork is the ultimate wine country with boundless acres upon acres dedicated to growing grapes for wine, and more than 60 wineries. It’s where many Long Island locals and visitors alike enjoy heading out for a day of wine tasting as they take in the countryside landscape...

Everyone loves a good happy hour menu, and when I heard about Shippy's version in Southampton, I had to go see it for myself. Every day from 3pm to 6pm, you can indulge in $7 wine, draft beer, and house cocktails and enjoy an assortment of $7 appetizers and bites. The hot German pretzel served with specialty beer...

For many, a trip to the Hamptons is incomplete without a stop at The Clam Bar. As you drive east on Route 27, the anticipation builds. The cool ocean breeze caresses your face as you lower your car windows. The lush greenery stretches for miles, interrupted only by Hamptons favorites like the Lobster Inn and Goldbergs. Then, you...

Being born and raised in Sagaponack has given me a lifetime of experience learning what makes a Farmstand stand out. Since launching my private chef Company, Plate in Progress, I’m a pretty consistent fixture at the Hamptons' many unique farmstands. These local stands are essential in designing custom menus and unforgettable dining experiences for my discerning clients in...

When it comes to dining out in the Hamptons, there is no shortage of restaurants to choose from. What’s surprising, however, is that the Hamptons does not have a vegan-only restaurant! With the plethora of vegan establishments in New York City (and beyond) one would expect the East End to have followed suit. But, as we continue our...

Chef Juliana White knows the Hamptons food scene is so much more than the Summer. She should; she is an in-demand private chef in the Hamptons all year. We always appreciate her recipes and, trust me because I have eaten this dish before, the Winter Citrus Salad with Sumo Mandarins is unreal.  Worth noting if you're not already...

This weekend, we experienced the first taste of Spring. I took my pup for a beach walk on Cold Spring Harbor yesterday, and the shorebreak resembled glass. The sky reflected that same energy with not a cloud in sight– something good was in the air. When the temperatures rise above 50 degrees, it calls for a drink or...
