The first notable snowfall of the season didn’t deter 374 East Enders from dashing into the ocean at Cooper’s Beach in Southampton during Heart of the Hamptons’ 14th Polar Bear Plunge.

  • Sant Ambroeus has become one of the East End’s most beloved dining destinations. The place has style, serves gelato and espresso all day, offers inviting outdoor seating, and delivers a world-class dining experience.

Their fresh pasta is made with eggs, and doesn’t weigh you down like other pasta does. The signature branzino dish has become a calling card for the Southampton location.

No visit is complete without a stop at the gelato counter, where handcrafted gelato and sorbetto are churned in-house, offering a cool, classic finish to a summer meal.

You’ll see me there again sipping an espresso and pretending to be Italian. Diet starts tomorrow.
  • Ralph’s Coffee is popping up at Mulford Farm for the summer season. Stop by from 8am - 5pm for specialty drinks, pastries, outdoor seating, and lawn games until September 7th.

  • Today, @childrensmuseumoftheeastend hosted its 16th Annual Family Fair in Bridgehampton, raising funds for its on-site food pantry, providing summer camp scholarships to local children, and supporting other initiatives that serve East End families year-round.

A special thank you to CMEE and lead event sponsor Saunders & Associates for welcoming us to capture the day’s magic.
  • We stopped by Pre-Loved in Montauk to see where founder @sunnymelet sources her vintage pieces. You can visit Pre-Loved any day of the week from 10am - 6pm.

The limited-edition game set features a vibrant cobalt-blue terrycloth carrying case, playing pieces, and racks featuring the signature Rebecca Minkoff logo. The set feels luxurious and is a summer essential.

  • If you’re into Mediterranean cuisine, Calissa is the spot for you. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with complimentary valet parking, amazing front-of-house staff, and an oasis of Greek fine dining. The place runs like a jet engine: an open kitchen, sexy interior, an energetic environment, a long bar, and an enormous outdoor dining area.

We sat down and started with the Saganaki, the world-famous fried Greek cheese. They do it right at Calissa: coated in sesame seeds and drizzled with fresh honey, the dish is a flavor bomb. I recommend ordering the steak here, it comes out cooked perfectly with fresh tomatoes. We also tried the grilled octopus, which is listed as an appetizer but could easily stand in as your entrée if you’re looking to eat a little lighter that evening.

If you feel like dancing, the restaurant transforms into a lively bar after 10pm making for a real Hamptons memory. The entire evening at Calissa is special. Highly recommend.
