Hold onto your taste buds, Bridgehampton! The culinary stars are aligning as Arthur and Sons, the much-talked about NYC Italian joint, gears up for its debut at 203 Bridgehampton – Sag Harbor Turnpike. Picture this: it’s taking over the former stomping grounds of the dearly missed Fresh and Hamptons Aristocrat Catering – talk about a gastronomic glow-up! Joe Isidori, the culinary maestro behind a hip Italian joint that’s become the talk of the town in NYC, recently rocked the Drew Barrymore show. Now, he’s bringing his kitchen wizardry to the Hamptons, promising a menu that’s as buzzworthy as a Hollywood red carpet. Springtime in Bridgehampton just got a whole lot tastier, folks!
In a move that would certainly make Cheech and Chong cheer, Greg Konner of Konner Development, has revealed plans to turn the familiar Carvel on Montauk Highway into a retail pot shop cheekily named Budhampton. Seemingly unfazed by potential backlash from the community and town officials, Konner boldly claims that if he meets the criteria, they can’t say no. The Carvel site apparently checks all the boxes for a retail dispensary, according to town and state regulations. But don’t get nervous you’ll soon have to haul to Southampton for your next Cookie Puss, smoke signals are saying that the Carvel will return soon in an adjacent new commercial location.
Finally, looking for a night filled with some laughter, friendly competition, and tasty waves, I mean bites? Look no further than Trivia Night at Kizzy T’s in East Hampton! Located on Montauk Highway East Hampton, where Bamboo and Zok-Kon once stood, this roadside tavern offers an alternative to a sleepy winter Sunday night. Every week at 7 trivia czar Paul Johnson poses questions, pictures and audio clips that keep you on your toes. And it’s not just about the brainpower – indulge in foosball, darts (booze and sharp objects- hmmm), billiards, and more while downing some pretty darn good chow including smashed burgers, chicken wings, and salmon rice cakes, all for about $20. I recently came close to snagging the $100 gift card, and trust me, the thrill of the game is worth it alone. For a night of fun, food, and fantastic memories, Kizzy T’s is the place to be.
