Welcome to Hamptonevents.com the evolution of my long running mailing list which was called "Hampton Events". The majority of the people on this list, I met personally from 1999 to the present at either, Dockers Waterside, Botanica & Company, The Pavilion, The Inn at Quogue, 75 Main, or The Patio. Others have been brought to this list via the Paul Mahos Band. At the present time there are over 2500 people participating in keeping their finger on the pulse of exciting events happening in the Hamptons. Hamptonevents.com is more than just a mailing list at this point, we also participate in the promotion and launching of exciting events, at restaurants, night spots, retail venues and more - bringing to you a fun, hip, spending crowd, who are not wallflowers, but people with vibrant personalities, clothing, and the power of getting the word out. With the assistance of Nicholas Landry & the ever stunning Nicole La Montagne we hope to include you in many exciting events to come. So many people have personally given me such incredibly positive feedback about how much you have enjoyed attending so many of these hot happenings, I trust that you will be even more excited now that there is a site to see it all happening week to week as we go through Season 2007 together! Cheers!

They are under a massive revamp and re-launch, with wood floors being put in throughout the bar room, new décor in all 3 dining rooms and through the bar room, The Bar at The Patio is a beautiful and historic part of Westhampton Beach's Main Street . There are also tables in the bar area, and plenty of stools to grab, there is also a small sofa grouping with a coffee table to sit and have drinks as well. This has been a watering hole since 4th of July Weekend, 1934, a fitting opening date for a Hamptons Restaurant!  With a new Chef, new menu and new décor they are on the cusp of an outrageous season. They are looking to set sail for the season around June 15th, stay tuned for up to the minute info on this project.

Muse Restaurant & Aquatic Lounge-Watermill, This has been coming for such a long time. Chef Matthew Guiffrida's Cuisine has been featured over the last 5 years at The Restaurant at The Inn at Quogue & The Patio Restaurant, The following Matthew has developed borders on obsessed. Matthews guests follow him to wherever he is located. Now finally that place is his own. Matthews food is big and intense, it is not for the shrinking violet. We are talking flavor and dynamic elements. Then there is his award winning personality to serve along side. And Ladies the man is single! The decor of the new restaurant is so hot it sizzles.

 I am a devoted brunch goer, it comes in phases and depends on what my Sundays & the weather is at any given time of the year. But to be honest, if I have a Sunday to spend enjoying myself, or if I have out of town guests, Brunch is a must to wrap up the weekend…

For years now I have found that for Brunch, the drama of having Brunch in the Ballroom at Atlantica is hard to surpass… Whether is just a few of us going out tired from Saturday night and wanting to knosh and be spoiled and relax and hang for a few hours, or I have out of town guests in for the weekend and nee a real “WOW” finale before packing them off to go home, Tierra Mar-Atlantica seems to always deliver. Except the real dead of Winter when they go on vacation and leave me scrambling for somewhere to go and then I curse them from here to Bimini!                    [...read more...]

Well on some of this I am clear, on some of this I have to go out and experience the new and exciting offerings and then share my thoughts, so for the beginning of Season 2007 this is what we are looking at….

 

Late Night Action:

Nello Summertime’s, Main Street, Southampton Village, this is a very sexy lounge with a stunning garden, it was a great secret hide away last season, who knows what it will be this season I am anticipating the same program.

DUNE, North Sea Road, Southampton, where do I start with this one… The former Cain-Jet East location has been one of my absolute favorites since 1998. This is the info I have gathered so far. Noah Teppenberg & Jason Strauss are rumored to be throwing the party at this incredible location again for the 1^st time since around 2003 ? During their time Jet East was a weekly must of glamorous nightlife. This was a time of Consience Point, and when Tavern was a place to go. After their departure, even I will have to admit Jet East took a dip, with Star Room really rocking and Tavern beginning its descent from Euro playground to a dressed up CPI. Then Jet East headed to a amazing reincarnation in Las Vegas, and CAIN stepped in. Well, you want to talk about a Summer. Last Summer, I was literally there a minimum of once a week and frequently twice and on a Holiday Weekend three times in a week. The Staff were as amazing as Jet Easts glory days, The Door people were sexy and exclusive. The entire thing was decadent and just sexy as hell… The Dancers, the Décor, it was a Summer to behold, so many memories and pics. One would think “concern” at it changing this year, well Cain was as great as Jet Easts glory days, and if the people who were responsible for the party back then are back at the wheel, then my favorite spot to party till 4 AM has not changed its address! I eagerly await checking this out!

Pink Elephant, Montauk Highway, Southampton, a sensational Summer last year and how could it not have been with the hot layout and décor of this venue. I will probably not be hitting this spot till after the Memorial Day Weekend crush, as it will just be too much. But will be heading over there right after this insane weekend. I am sure a story will result.

Q Restaurant & Lounge, Quogue Street, Quogue,  Well this is a favorite if there ever was one. What a first year it’s been partying at this spot. Sweet Lord! Some of the best cocktails I have had anywhere, the kind of mouth watering martinis, where they have been shaken till there are diamonds of ice across the top. I was a big fan of The Restaurant at The Inn, when I saw the transformation of this location and then became immersed in the lifestyle of hanging out here, I had to pinch myself that I was in even the same building. They treat you like absolute royalty. The garden last year sizzled with a who’s who, sipping cocktails and talking no stop. Like Nello’s the place is hidden and you would never imagine the posh world going on inside. The décor of the lounge is so decadent it knocks you out. The Staff in particular the Bar Staff are top notch.

Mr. Kehlenbeck works the rooms of his restaurant like it is a European Country House Party. More often than not dancing breaks out at any of The Friday Lounge Parties, which I can never seem to leave till the wee hours of the morning, all this is in Quogue folks, believe it. Get down there and check this space out! The place for intimate cocktails and a Friday Night out….

Evening Cocktails:

Dockers Waterside, Dune Road, Quogue/Hampton Bays Border, On the water, with a newly revamped Marina and expansive outdoor deck. Anyone who knows me, knows hands down this is one of my favorite places in the world. That I live somewhere, with a place like this to party at almost 3 full Seasons out of the year, is part of the reason why I can go on. I am not joking, if you do not feel it, between the music, the staff, the view, the sunsets, the drinks, the bands, the dancing, then there is something wrong. Or maybe you just need to go there with me so you can experience it properly. Anyway drinks here with the view are always a great time, whether its busy or quiet, the bar is just a great time. Now a night when there is a band there, well now your being treated to some 1^st class entertainment. Now if that entertainment is Paul Mahos on a Tuesday, Friday, or a Sunday then the night just got turned up quite a few notches. Tuesdays and Sundays with Paul Mahos are a non stop dancing, cocktails, action packed evening. There have been more than one occasion when I have been there with a large party on these nights and ordered dinner got up to dance after ordering and never seen my table again, dinner served and never eaten, as the party can get so hot there is simply no time to eat, a 6 pm arrival and a 11:30 departure. The beauty of this is with the early closing you can make it to work the following day in one piece! There is no way to really convey this special brand of party, you are simply going to have to come down and check it out…..

Margarita Grille, Main Street, Westhampton Beach, When in Westhampton Beach and your feeling like a Margarita, and I mean feeling like a decadent Margarita, then you have to hit The Margarita Grille, for awesome music, fun people, crazy staff, and just a blast then this is it. Before the beach after the beach this is just it. Going here and getting a Quava Marg and a appetizer or a Bleu Cheese Burger, and my evening is made. I am a big fan of the bar inside, where so many want to sit outside and people watch Main Street. I don’t know I enjoy the inside bar, the great music, the drinks. Check it out and enjoy!

For 2007 I need to go out and do some work for this section, and believe me I will have a great time doing it! Stay tuned… Some of my other drink spots are below:

Red Bar-Southampton
75 Main-Southampton
Bobby Van’s-Southampton
