T.S. Eliot once said, \u201cApril is the cruelest month.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Well, let me just say anyone who was willing to write the lyrics for that awful Andrew Lloyd Webber musical gets no respect from me!\u00a0 \u00a0The Hamptons in January is truly the cruelest month!\u00a0 Case I point, today I went to a home inspection and there was no heat.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The homeowner had winterized the property and it was a 20 degrees INSIDE!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah, Hamptons real estate is so glamorous!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My feet are still numb, but I guess it\u2019s better than working in a coal mine or being a food critic in Des Moines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyway, all things considered the Hamptons are not a bad place to be even when it\u2019s 5 degrees outside.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So, here they are in no particular order a few fun INDOOR things to do when the forecast has more negatives than a yelp review for a Cracker Barrel restaurant.<\/p>\n

Montauk Salt Cave<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Montauk Salt Cave \u2013 Imagine sitting comfortably in a nice heated room as you breath in Himalayan salt infused air.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s like going to the beach but without a village parking sticker.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According to the company website, the cave helps revitalizes ones <\/span>respiratory\u00a0tract with lungs and nasal passages cleared from pollens, inflammations and other pollutants.\u00a0 This is particularly handy if you\u2019ve recently been spending anytime on Main St. Amagansett.\u00a0\u00a0 The cave has various scheduled sessions that included everything from guided mediations to reiki healing.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Locals secret:\u00a0 Take a look on Groupon where the session are often offered at a steep discount.\u00a0 For more information click<\/span> HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Fieldhouse East Hampton – If you haven\u2019t gone yet you should.\u00a0\u00a0 Located on Daniels Hole Rd. in E. Hampton, this entertainment center has something for everyone.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There\u2019s an arcade for the kids, bowling for the families, bocci balland corn hole for the millennials and a bar\/restaurant with full a menu for people like me.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They also have a mini golf course but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s in the cards when it\u2019s this cold.\u00a0\u00a0 Long needed on the east end, the Fieldhouse is perfect for everyone.\u00a0 It\u2019s especially great for parents who want to ignore their children with a cocktail as the little ones play games, win points and hopefully buy a prize.\u00a0\u00a0 If you want more information check out the website HERE.\u00a0<\/a> Local secret:\u00a0 Check out their Facebook page for special events and discounts.<\/p>\n

The Spa at Gurney\u2019s \u2013 Book a massage or treatment at the Seawater Spa then for a small facilities fee of $30 take a dip in the salt water pool, sweat in the sauna or sweat it out in the Swedish steam room.\u00a0\u00a0 The best part of the deal is actually swimming in the pool while overlooking the sand and surf through the expansive wall of glass doors.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Follow it up with a glass of wine and lunch at Tillie\u2019s caf\u00e9.\u00a0\u00a0 Although last time I was there I got in trouble for trying to eat my tuna salad sandwich in the pool, so I don\u2019t advise.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For more information you can click HERE<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Local secret:\u00a0 Memberships are available for access to the fitness club and spa areas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Parish Art Museum \u2013 It\u2019s indoors. \u00a0It has art. \u00a0I never took an art history class so it\u2019s pointless for me to elaborate.\u00a0\u00a0 There are no dogs playing poker, toreadors on velvet or cats hanging onto bars so I\u2019m lost.\u00a0\u00a0 I will say people seem to \"\"enjoy it and find it EDUCATIONAL.\u00a0\u00a0 For the latest exhibitions and hours click HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n

So, there you go!\u00a0 I know!\u00a0 You\u2019re welcome!\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to sit on the sofa binge watching Netflix the entire month.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There are actually things you can do INDOORS that are a little out of the normal routine.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now, excuse me while I book my flight on Southwest.<\/p>\n
