I’m going to go through today’s blog and basically type a stream of consciousness here! I can’t believe it but in a land where people can spend almost $100 for lobster salad, Bentley’s abound and a million dollars barely buys you shack people are still going hungry in the Hamptons. No, this has nothing to do with a detox program, these are people who don’t have the money to buy food. It’s women, it’s men and it’s old people and it’s young people, it’s immigrants and bonackers here who are going hungry! IN THE HAMPTONS FOLKS!!! One of the their last resorts has long been the respective food banks. But unfortunately cuts in funding and the tough economy have caused the shelves to go bare. I know we get hit with tons of charities this time of year but it takes so little to drop a can or a buck in a food pantry box. One of my agents is a volunteer at the East Hampton food bank and she said things are not good. So come on people, here’s your chance to show the Hamptons aren’t as nasty as the line at Scoop Du Jour on 4th of July! We can do it!
So after you drop that food in the food pantry box…if you’re bored head over to the 23rd annual Color theme Christmas Party on December 4th at Blue Sky in Sag Harbor. Bring another can for the food bank there and a $20 bill to get in and make sure you wear something SILVER! Why Silver I have no idea. The party starts at 7pm and you get to hear the Lone Sharks play. They’re a band in case you didn’t know. It’s all for a good cause so get on it!!!
At about 4 pm, I headed over to Sag Harbor to the home of David Epstein. He along with some of the heads of Empire State Pride Agenda including Kim Kakerbeck and Sarah Ferguson organized what I’m calling an “E-Raiser.” I love that.. I’m so clever. Anyway what we did was send letters to some members of the NY State senate encouraging them to pass the same sex marriage bill, demanding the 1,324 rights that same sex civil unions will grant. We’re at the tipping point of an historical moment. Be on the right side and send an e mail encouraging the following senators do the right thing. Here are the e mail guys… go for it!!! Especially if you live in Suffolk County NY.
Also, it looks as if the Lodge is actually taking off! Saturday Soiree had wall to wall people on a
Well after many years of mystery diners.. meaning I don’t know of a single soul who would ever go there…. Spinnakers in Sag Harbor is no longer. It’s now been replaced by Blue Sky! Pepe.. .formally food and beverage manager at the Bridge and Grappa in Sag Harbor has created a new menu with both Italian and Spanish influences. While I haven’t had dinner yet, the appetizers were first rate. It is essentially a really charming space inside. So, what’s changed??? Gone are the greasy wings and inedible salads. They’ve also apparently scrubbed the place down from top to bottom!! Rumor has it they finally found Hoffa! Whew! . The garden in the back was always a hidden treasure in Sag Harbor the only problem was the food. Well that’s all better now!!!
to figure out they undercharged me!!” Other than the planters, Linda has some of the nicest and most unique home and gift goods in the Hamptons. Check out her other store in Amagansett on the square or her web site and see for yourself!
