The New Harbor Market!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Hi all, just remember Hamptons Chatter is not a daily, a weekly or any other type of regular anything. \u00a0I also refuse to take any sort of literary Metamucil! \u00a0 I only speak when I feel inspired to speak, when the muses have touched me or when something around town really pisses me off. \u00a0 \u00a0So guess what? The muses haven’t touched me but I am a little…. wait no negativity here either. \u00a0 I need to breathe. \u00a0 Hmm. \u00a0 OK now for the not angry edition of Hamptons Chatter or as Curbed.com editors have been known to call this “HC.” \u00a0 \u00a0I can live with that… HC!<\/p>\n

Well, I finally had the chance to go the new Harbor Market and Kitchen in Sag Harbor to see if all the fuss and arguing was worth it. \u00a0Well, here I am to tell you it was much ado about nothing! \u00a0 The place looks fantastic, beautiful barn doors, cedar shingles and the whole exterior of the place is totally in keeping in with the neighborhood aesthetic. \u00a0 \u00a0 The food by the way, is also pretty good especially the pizzas but only order when you’re not in a hurry. \u00a0 As for the much feared industrial sounds coming from the roof and the awful unattractive roof…. well it’s pretty damn quiet and its way more attractive than that house on 114 that looks like it’s being built for the Munsters or the hideous colors radiating from Yummilicious! \u00a0 Not that I don’t love Yummilicious.<\/p>\n

I don’t know the owners of the market but I can tell you they’ve had their hands full battling to open<\/a> the market… remember this is the same street where panties were twisted over a huge pair of legs…. but there efforts have paid off. \u00a0 \u00a0The interior is beautiful and the sandwiches, salads and the macaroni and cheese are pretty good too! \u00a0 \u00a0So go, check it out and decide for yourself…. and decide if the world really changed that much on Henry Street!?<\/p>\n

But you know different things find different things offensive. \u00a0 \u00a0 What do I find offensive?????? \u00a0 Some of the prices we are forced to pay here around town in the Hamptons! \u00a0Here is my brief list of some of the worst offenders. \u00a0Now remember, I don’t mind paying big bucks for the guacamole at Round Swamp Farm because it’s amazing. \u00a0 What I do resent is mediocre products at premium prices. But remember, this is not an angry blog. \u00a0I’m staying positive. \u00a0 So here are some of the most positively overpriced items I can think of on the East End…. 2015 Edition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
No supersizing here – Sanscerre that is Sen-sationally expensive!!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Sen Restaurant<\/b> – This Sag Harbor establishment is always packed and I get it. \u00a0 The food is good but a dinner for two with a few glasses of wine and some sushi shouldn’t cost nearly $300 bucks! \u00a0 \u00a0Well, part of it might have been the very stingy pours of Sancerre wine, I’m convinced that I the owner or manager was inspecting before going to the waiting tables. \u00a0REALLY? It’s a $14 dollar glass of wine… you’re not going to lose money if they give some lucky diner an extra ouce! \u00a0 \u00a0It will be a long time before I go to Sen again, instead I’ll head to Zokkon in East Hampton which is a fraction of the cost and just as good. \u00a0 It’s also never packed there…. but it should be… great food and friendly prices!<\/p>\n

Any Taxi in the Hamptons<\/b> – I recently went from the Hampton Jitney to BMW in Southampton. \u00a0 How far was that? \u00a0What 300 yards?! \u00a0It cost me nearly $20 dollars because it was a flat rate. Apparently that is for all cabs across the board… or so I’m told \u00a0 Now before you all go saying I’m lazy and should have walked, I had a ton of luggage. \u00a0 But really… $20?! \u00a0I could have taken a cab from the Upper East Side to Midtown for less. \u00a0 But hey, it’s the Hamptons where some take the motto “if you have to ask the price then you shouldn’t be here!”<\/p>\n

Babette’s East Hampton<\/b> – \u00a0How much would you pay for a Western Omelette? \u00a0 \u00a0 How about $18.95 at this Village eatery. \u00a0 There really isn’t much to say here… I mean it’s an omelette! \u00a0 \u00a0Instead of getting eggs here, how about getting the same dish at Princess Diner for $9.95. \u00a0 By the way, what’s with the .95 cents, is it some sort of weird egg law or tax? \u00a0 For crying out loud people, say what it is for real; \u00a0$10 and $19.<\/p>\n

East Hampton and Southampton Parking Tickets – <\/b>Go to the beach without a permit or park on one of the lanes and you’re going to get slapped with a $150 parking ticket. \u00a0 Yup, that’s like getting two California Rolls and a glass of wine at a certain restaurant! \u00a0By the way, don’t try messing with any of the brownies – the kids that write the tickets… nothing to do with Tate’s or Round Swamp Brownies…. wait I’m hungry! \u00a0 OH, don’t mess with the kids writing tickets in any of the villages, they may be taking their SAT’s in the fall but these kids do not fool around!<\/p>\n

Well, I’m back to pure happy thoughts now! \u00a0 \u00a0So I’m done writing.<\/p>\n
