We all know that Sag Harbor has been a haven for artists and writers of all types for years.\u00a0\u00a0John Steinbeck, E.L.\u00a0Doctrow and\u00a0the late great Spaulding Gray have all found their inspiration among the waters of the fair Harbor and the stale beer of Murph’s.\u00a0 Well, maybe Steinbeck never went to Murph’s but I bet he would have loved it!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But I digress… so, I learned something new the other day when talking to a friend of mine in Hamptons.\u00a0 The house is located\u00a0on Jermain Avenue\u00a0in Sag Harbor and to be honest,\u00a0 I fail to see how this sweet property could have ever been the birth place of the red\u00a0wine swilling cannibal known as Hannibal Lechter.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The house is currently on the market for a little under\u00a0 $1.5 million dollars and listed with Gioia DiPaolo of Douglas Elliman in Sag Harbor.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You can see the listing\u00a0here….<\/a>\u00a0and yes it’s\u00a0walking distance to Murph’s!\u00a0\u00a0That alone makes it worth more than the asking price!!\u00a0\u00a0So make and offer and tell them I sent you… and who knows if you buy\u00a0it, maybe you too\u00a0can be inspired to\u00a0write one of the most frightening\u00a0best sellers of all time!!<\/div>\n

So speaking of Sag Harbor and dining but not the cannibalistic kind; the town was recently voted one of the friendliest places in the country. \u00a0 But now I think it deserves another honor. \u00a0I’m declaring Sag Harbor the “Lunch Capital of the Hamptons.” \u00a0 Sure, there are plenty of restaurants in the Hamptons\u00a0but where can you go to have a good lunch (especially during the week)? \u00a0 With the recent addition of Madison and Main, Sag Harbor is by a long shot the best place for the mid day meals. \u00a0 \u00a0 While East Hampton has Ralph Lauren and Bridgehampton has real estate offices, the Harbor has more eating restaurants per foot than any other town. \u00a0 It’s also the only one where you can dine out doors without breathing in the exhaust from Rt. 27. \u00a0 Let’s think about this, you have the American Hotel (I suggest The Cobb salad), LT Burger (I recommend the fries and turkey burgers), Dockside (the tuna wrap), Madison and Main (tuna tacos), Bay Burger (the burger duh) and Page (you’re on your own) all with open air dining. \u00a0 \u00a0 So why am I writing this? \u00a0Well because when you have your weekend guests and you want to get them out of the house for some privacy Saturday afternoon, send them to Sag. \u00a0See this blog is good for something!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
