The Sun Hasn\u2019t Set on Sunset Fridays<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, here we are\u2014another East End summer is officially behind us, though I have to say, it doesn\u2019t feel like the hustle has slowed all that much. I\u2019m not seeing tumbleweeds since Tumbleweed Tuesday, and the Hamptons continues to run hot with lots to do and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping that in mind, I\u2019m thrilled that W\u00f6lffer Estate Vineyard still has three more weeks of their bucolic, wine-filled Sunset Fridays concerts among the vines in Sagaponack. The first is tonight, September 10 with popular East End band Hopefully Forgiven. The music begins at 5 p.m. and I suggest getting there on the early side because W\u00f6lffer doesn\u2019t take reservations and they\u2019re limiting capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve not been, W\u00f6lffer at sunset is among the Hamptons\u2019 loveliest spots. The atmosphere is casual and guests can sip the winery\u2019s wines and ciders by the glass and munch on bar menu items, served in takeout containers, on the back patio. They suggest bringing a blanket so you can lounge on the lawn, and I concur. Unfortunately, no dogs allowed – GRRRRRR SAYS RUSSELL. But remember, those vines are growing actual wine grapes, and no one wants to see lifted legs around the fruit that will one day be bottled as W\u00f6lffer Finca or Summer in a Bottle ros\u00e9s\u2014even my Bella and Russell can understand that (as much as they don\u2019t like it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunset Fridays continue through the end of the month, with Kristen Thien Band playing on Friday, September 17, and Charles Certain Moves on September 24. More info at wolffer.com\/news\/sunset-fridays-return<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airport Future Is Up in the Air<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news, the East Hampton Airport may be on the verge of shutting down following years of noise complaints from the nearby residents. East Hampton Town is hosting workshops for the community to help decide its future. They started in-person yesterday, September 9 at LTV Studios in Wainscott. A virtual workshop begins via Zoom tonight at 7 p.m. (visit ehamptonny.gov<\/a> for a link), and a second in-person session is scheduled for Monday, September 13 at 7 p.m. in the Montauk Playhouse. The final virtual workshop is happening (also via Zoom) on Monday, September 20 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attend these if you want to add your thoughts to the conversation, for or against. I happen to live right in the airport\u2019s flight path and it has become increasingly vexing over the years since I bought my house\u2014knowing full well, by the way, that airplane and helicopter noise might be an issue. But it wasn\u2019t that <\/em>bad early on. The problem has become exponentially worse with each passing year, to the point where I\u2019ve woken to the sound of jet engines at 3 a.m. some mornings, and the so-called enforcement has not been enough. The fines are not enough. People flying PJs to the Hamptons don\u2019t care about the cost, and the pilots don\u2019t care because they\u2019re getting paid by the passengers who don\u2019t care. Like everything in the Hamptons, it\u2019s just too much sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, the airport is a valuable and important asset and resource to this community and I would really hate to see it go, but something needs to change, desperately. The town or FAA or East Hampton Airport management needs to figure out a solution soon, or we\u2019ll lose an 80-year-old local institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, if you want to take a closer look at the airport and get a sense of what they do offer, the East Hampton Aviation Association is hosting a \u201cJust Plane Fun Day\u201d there this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It\u2019s such a wild coincidence that this family event extolling the airport\u2019s virtues is happening at the same time as the community workshops to discuss its ultimate fate. Isn\u2019t that amazing? So weird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Just Plane Fun Day will have lots of beautiful antique and historic airplanes and cars on view, as well as flybys, a raffle, activities for kids and several excellent East End food trucks. More info at hamptonflyers.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
