The Hamptons nightlife scene is about to get a lot hotter with the opening of these hotspots Memorial Day weekend.
After a 3-year Hamptons hiatus David Sarner and Robert Montwaid are bringing back former Hamptons nightlife hotspot Pink Elephant (44 Three Mile Harbor Road, East Hampton, www.pinkelephantclub.com) to the East End beginning Memorial Day Weekend. If Rihanna partying at the NYC location three Sundays in a row is any sign of what’s to come from its return to Hamptons, it’s going to be a must stop.
