Hamptons
Come along hear the song that we’re singing… come on get HAPPY!
It was a beautiful week in the Hamptons but not for humpback whales unfortunately. Anyway, an awesome week and Friday is of course full of rain. What can you do today to put you back in that happy mood??? Why go to a HAPPY HOUR of course. So, if you’re looking for some suggestions here is a really great one!!!
The Palm in East Hampton is having what they call PRIME TIME, weekdays at the bar. While drinks are full priced the appetizers and nibbles are dirt cheap. A platter of KOBE BEEF SLIDERS which are normally $10 are $3.50!!! Yes, $3.50 and no they don’t cheat you out and give you a spa portion! In fact, all of their PRIME BITES MENU is $3.50each! What a deal… Filet Mignon Capri Sandwiches, Calamari Fritti, Mini Broiled Crab Cakes and tons more. It’s totally awesome. If you haven’t been to the bar at The Palm, the bar itself is small but there’s plenty of booths, tables and comfy chairs. The only downside of this is the occasional overbearing scent of cologne or perfume. I’m not sure why Hai Karate and Jean Nate wearers favor The Palm. It’s just one of those eternal mysteries only Leonard Nimoy would dare explore!!
Finally, my last place for a great happy hour is my sofa with a nice glass of anything. OK, maybe not anything… I don’t like Riesling or Sterno! Anyway, have a great Friday night all!!! Hope to see you soon!
Grab your gauchos and hit the beach East Hampton!!! News and exiles from Main St.!
Well there is one less empty space on East Hampton’s Main St. So who is it??? Who? Is it Hermes? Noooooooo! Is it Louis Vuitton? Nooooooooooo! Is it…. Lilly Pulitzer? HELLLLLOOOO! I said EAST HAMPTON not SOUTH! OK, here’s a hint. My mother in law … Mimi for those of you who know her… will be be tickled pink when she comes back from Boca about this news! Ok, enough. CHICOS! Now, for those of you who don’t know… it’s not a Mexican restaurant (that’s El Torito which would be great to have edible Mexican in East Hampton) it’s a woman’s clothing store! Call it a J. Crew for the mature woman. How does that sound!? I personally have never shopped at Chico’s although I do have a friend “______” who likes to occasionally wear Chico’s stuff but on Saturday evening’s only.
According to their website… “Chico’s was founded in 1983 as a small boutique selling Mexican folk art and cotton sweaters on Sanibel Island in Florida. Our friendly environment and unique styles connected with customers in a special way that quickly evolved into over 600 Chico’s boutiques nationwide, a monthly catalog, and round-the-clock shopping at www.chicos.com.” WHAT!?!?!? WARM AND FRIENDLY?!?!?!? This isn’t IOWA folks! It’s the Hamptons!!! Nice doesn’t play in these parts!!! I assume they’ll do attitude trainging for the East End clientle.
The location will be on the end of Main St., the former site of Prudential Douglas Elliman’s old stomping grounds. So the big question is why didn’t that other real estate company go into the spot? Apparently Fearless Leader along with Moose and Squirrel were spotted weeks ago measuring, designing and talking deals and then suddenly zippo!
For a mere $80,000 you can live like a sports legend!!!
Former New York Ranger, Rod Gilbert…. yes, the first man ever to have his jersey hung from the rafters of Madison Square Garden has thrown his private home into the hamptons rental pool! So what do you get? Well I’m stealing this from agent Richard Kudlak and Linda Casinover’s ad copy for their exclusive/rental. Awe inspiring water views of Noyac Bay topped off by gorgeous sunsets, creating a new palette of color every evening. This newly built homes offers a dramatic high-ceiling living room with floor to ceiling fireplace stonework, beautifully mirrored wet bar and wine cooler. The tastefully done gourmet kitchen abuts an additional waterside family room. Three bedrooms plus a den/fourth bedroom, a huge high-ceilinged basement awaiting your own personal configuration and the piece-de -resitance: a dramatic limestone outdoor patio complimenting the gorgeous pool with two dramatic waterfalls. An outdoor surround sound system brings the tropics to Sag Harbor. Large master bedroom with Jacuzzi tub overlooking the Bay tops it off. Pretty awesome huh?! Plus you get to relax have a glass of chardonnay and look at Rod’s years of memorablia… feel free to call me or Linda and Rich for details!!! The house is also for sale for a cool $2.2 million!
