On Friday, June 28, the time once again came to welcome a few hundred of Hamptons.com’s closet friends to Union Cantina in Southampton for Hamptons.com’s annual Connections & Cocktails soiree.
Presented by BNB Bank, attendees reveled in the spectacular summer weather as they noshed on delicious bites from Union Burger, Union Cantina, and Southampton Social Club, sipped on Big Geyser’s Spindrift seltzer, Super Coffee, H-Factor Water, Sweet Leaf Tea, and Hal’s New York Seltzer Water and NY Chips, and the evening’s speciality cocktail, The Connection – a refreshing mix of Espolon Blanco Tequila, Cointreau, and fresh lime juice.

When addressing the crowd and thanking attendees for coming to celebrate everyone’s favorite season with Hamptons.com, Publisher Joe Kazickas spoke about one of the website’s unique features. “Our cameras bring the Hamptons to the rest of the world in a very visceral live way, so hopefully when you do visit our website, you’ll take a minute or two to click on the cameras and see what’s going on out in the Hamptons,” he shared.
As party-goers chatted with old friends and made a few new acquaintances, Unity Event Productions entertained the crowd with tunes.
BNB Bank VP Stan Glinka was on hand to accept a generous from Hamptons.com Publisher Joe Kazickas on behalf of the Kazickas Family Foundation, in support of All for the East End (AFTEE).
“We’re looking forward to another great year,” Kazickas added. “The summer is going to shape up very nicely.”
