It may seem early to start thinking about where you’ll be dining this summer, but as the season nears, the East End restaurant scene always gets a good shakeup, where we learn what’s gone for good and what our new favorites will be.
Looking to grab a locally made brew with friends? Your time to have one at 40 Bowden Square in Southampton is limited. The Southampton Publick House, which has been serving up award-winning microbrews there since 1996, announced that it’s leaving its current location and will reopen at another spot nearby. No word yet on where or when that will happen and it’s rumored that a Mexican restaurant will replace it.
Zach Erdem, the owner of 75 Main, is expanding his Hamptons reach this season. According to Page Six, he’s taking over the Southampton venue where Nammos Estiatorio was located and will also run 125 Tuckahoe Lane in Southampton, the nightclub that was most recently occupied by 1Oak, which will not return for a third season.
