iaint Says: This is another of “the Hamptons”. You have Westhampton, Bridgehampton and Hampton Bays as well. Each has its own character. Southampton is a mixture of old money and the brash new - often show business new. Walk up and down the main streets to get a flavour of the place -...
iaint Says: Is this part of the Hamptons? Not sure... It’s on the Peconic Bay side of the South Fork, and not the ocean, for a start.Probably it is. Shame.It does feel a bit different, however. I’ve always liked it. A former whaling port, but that’s ancient history.Go see - lovely main...
iaint Says: This is The End. That’s how it’s known locally. The road goes no further. It’s name comes from the Montaukett natives.It falls into 3 segments. The town is what you come to first. I’ve never stopped. Nothing against the place, but the other 2 bits are better.Turn left after...
WillAntoniou Says: The Montauk Lighthouse is actually really cool, even if you're not a lighthouse...admirer? lol Anways, there's a museum inside and you can go to the top and look straight across the Atlantic. Worth the trip to Montauk.
WillAntoniou Says: Main beach is the biggest beach in East Hampton. It is very nice, very sandy. There is ample parking, and also a nice "beach bar" which sells sandwiches and drinks etc. Get there early though, or there won't be any room!Also, keep in mind that in order to be allowed to park...

iaint Says: Iconic... eclectic... idiosyncratic?That’s The Dock, at Gosman’s Dock in Montauk. Right where the fishing boats land their catch. Right at the furthest easternmost tip of Long Island, or The End as its known locally.On a beautiful sunny October Sunday, it’s hard to imagine a...
Tutrtle crossing: Southwestern cooking
magdalena2007 Says: This place was exactly what I needed. After going out to a bunch of chic and fancy places, I needed a relaxed and fun restaurant. It has a live band, you eat with your hands, and you’re drinking like you’re on a desert island. Oh, and it’s pretty loud. This place has the...
WillAntoniou Says: Rowdy Hall is a really great place to go for lunch or dinner. It's sort of a Pub style looking place. The food is diverse, ranging from French Onion Soup to Tuna Steak. At any rate, pretty much anything you order will be fantastic. I can get crowded on the weekends though,...
WillAntoniou Says: Almond has become sort of a "fad" restaurant. Billy Joel goes there often. It's a pretty simple menu, with only a few things on it each night. It would be wise to call and make reservations, otherwise you probably won't get a table. Steak Frites, available almost every...
The Blue Parrot Bar & Grill: Mexican
WillAntoniou Says: The Blue Parrot is a nice Mexican restaurant right in East Hampton Village. They have a nice outside area. I liek all Mexican food, but I would the most unique thing are the tortilla chips they have and the salsa. Very good.
WillAntoniou Says: Stephen Talkhouse is a cool bar with Live Music. Acts range from local bands to Paul Simon and Paul McCartney. When I was a freshmen in highschool my band played at the open mic night lol. Cover charges can range from 5 to 100 dollars. It's worth going. Something is...
Resort Lounge: Drunk Highschool students
WillAntoniou Says: Resort Lounge is probably the hippiest night life spot in the Hamptons. It was renovated in 2003 and now it's all orange and filled with palm trees and stuff lol. It would be a cool place if it wasn't always filled highschool kids that got in with fake I.D.'s but anyways....
iaint Says: On my last visit we drove out from Queens, early on a Sunday in October. But obviously I’ve been travelling to and from the town for a while.The traffic will be hellish on summer weekends due to the invasion of city folks. The LIRR (Long Island Railroad) serves the town. You...
WillAntoniou Says: There are many small cab companies in the Hamptons. There are numbers posted at all the convience stores etc. If you are in Montauk there are 2 famous cab companies called "Pink Tuna Taxis" and "Celtic Taxis," the fist having pink cars, the latter having green cars. They are...

Everyone knows Saks Fifth Avenue. Well, of course there's one in the Hamptons lol. After all, where will all the celebrities get their clothes?
What to buy: Whatever you have the money for
What to pay: A lot

magdalena2007 Says: Make sure you read the signs if you're going to the beach and want to park your car. Most parking spots require a permit. If you do have a permit from the Hotel you are staying at -make sure you read it because most permits only allow you to park your car at one beach, not...
WillAntoniou Says: In the summer the Hamptons get totally overrun. It makes sense because summer is really the only time worth going. But just don't expect to be alone out there lol.

One of the hottest spots to go during the summer if you'r from or visiting NYC is the Hamptons. But trust me DONT GO IN THE SUMMMER!!!!!!!! i was born there and summered there every summer of my LIFE! (even though thats only 16 summers, hey!, i think i would know what im talking about about now) Its a beatiful town, or should i say towns, but this past summer ive never seen it that bad. There were sooooo many people and most of them are from the City and stupid. Not to mention the worst driving in the UNIVERSE...and thats an understatment. What a tourist trap in the Hamptons is the town in which you are visiting, the beaches, and the movie theathers on the weekends. Also if it happens to rain during the summer and your stuck in the Hamptons i highly suggest you DONT go into town...its swarming with tourists. Locals no better not to show their faces
Unique Suggestions: In East Hampton one of my favoirte places to go when im bored or just for kicks is Book Hampton. Its the local book shop. i love reading and they have a good seclection on different books to read. And if your into more eccentic and artsy, with an indian flare of style i DEMAND you go to Sag Harbor!! Its one of my favorite places to go because the main street is full of the coolest shops for all ages. Sag Harbor is so down to earth out of all the Hamptons you cant help but say, "aww what a great little place this is." You havent expericenced the true Hamptons until you at least walked down the main street in Sag Harbor. Its HONESTLY a place for all types and ages of people. Take this from a sixteen year old who enjoys book stores and Durer exhibits.
Fun Alternatives: Are you ready to get pampered?? Well my friends, Gurneys in Montauk which is only 20-30 minutes away depending on traffic is a fab joint to get that silk rap for your nails or a full body message. Not to mention that both the mens and womens sections in the Spa have AMAZING steam baths, sauna, a secret pool thats enclosed in a cave like cove with underwater light and a splendid water fall, andfor a finishing touch, a Roman salt water bath big enough to do your exercises. For only $25 for the "Spa" is quite a deal. But messages and things are extra. Never fear though, because if your on vacation you dont have to move very far or drive since Gurneys is a hotel and fancy resturant as well. Pretty neat huh.

Luggage and bags: It doesnt matter what kind of bags you have but people would definently check out your stuff. A good piece of advice to know is, when vacationing in The Hamptons, anyone who is anyone dresses and acts like they are someone. Now of course you dont have to listen to me, but if you want to be let into the high end clubs, or mingle with others from your opposite sex, trust me if you remember this one simple rule, you know everything you need to know...dress like success...
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Anything designer or something that resembles designer...if you dont own anything that designer i highly recommend that you pick up the latest copy of Vogue or Hamptons' Gotham and start taking what the women and men in those mags are...models, and use your traveling skills and adapt QUICK!
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: In The Hamptons?!?! Please...even the servants quaters have the nicest possible toiletries from Paris or God knows where!
Photo Equipment: Ant camera will do..or you can do what the rich people do any hire your own personal staff of photographers...for just a coulple hundred bucks they'll get the job done..but why stop there?! ...for a few extra thousand they'll also be your personal slaves!
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: If you like Camping the best place to go in The Hamptons is Ceder Point with out a doubt. Its a lot of fun and my friends from Germany and i used to rent out a camping spot for a night and have the best bon fires and walks on the beach. But if your a beachy kinda person there are so many beaches to choose from its all depending on your style. And beleive me, its not hard at all to find the nearest beach...all you have to do is follow all the traffic. You may think im joking but just you wait until you come to The Hamptons, you'll be regretting you didnt go to some seculded island in Fiji.
Miscellaneous: Everything is terribly expensive here...i think this is the only place where they serve an ice cream cone for $5 and a bottle of water for $3.

Autumn and spring, Montauk Rugby take to Herrick Field (its the baseball park right in the centre of town). For those unfamiliar with local conditions, the season breaks at the end of November as the winter is too severe for rugby!
I played in the autumn of 1978. Great way to get to know local people.
Equipment: For playing, all the usual stuff (including beer money). To watch, sunscreen in September; warm clothes in November!

Now, I have to be honest, I never enjoyed living in the Hamptons. Thankfully I only lived there for a short time, but nonetheless, it is a nice vacation place.
You might have heard of The Hamptons--but maybe not. It's where i was born and have lived since about last year. New York City is my home as well but during the summer and weekends since i was BORN......
I love the area of Long Island closest to the points. The changes dramatically as you drive from West to East. The late summer into autumn is particularly lovely as the scrub bushes turn auburn, the...
I lived here from July 1978 until February 1979. I visited frequently before that. I worked in Riverhead - the end point of the LIE (Long Island Expressway) and the place where the island splits...
East Hampton is on the tip of Long Island in New York. Less than three hours away from Manhattan. It is a beautiful location and it is home to many celebrities like Seinfeld and Puffy (or what ever......
