How to Have the Best Saturday Night Ever in the Hamptons

“My favorite Saturday nights have been spent at friends’ houses in Southampton or in Montauk, but I always have a lot of fun at the Surf Lodge.”

“I love the organic food at the Crow’s Nest in Montauk and the amazing Italian food at Sant Ambroeus in Southampton.”

“Sant Ambroeus in Southampton is my go-to spot. I love the caprese and the insalata di carciofi. Both are healthy, fresh salads that are perfect for summer.”

“I’m lucky enough to live on the water and enjoy the beautiful Hamptons sunset from home, but there's nothing like taking my kids to Long Beach in Sag Harbor to sit in the sand and watch the sun go down. The light is magnificent. It’s a magical spot.”

“Most likely I’ll invite some friends over. At cocktail hour, I put together a tray with a few snacks (I like kettle chips and olives, and something homemade, like hummus with fresh veggies). For dinner, I keep it casual and do something fun, like a taco bar with peach salsa. I’ll also make a big salad with some of the produce I picked up earlier. For dessert, I like to make fruit kebabs or watermelon granita. Then everyone just hangs out by the fire pit until it’s time for bed.”

“My wife, Lis, and I co-teach classes at Exhale Bridgehampton all summer long. On Saturday nights we love to make dinner from our organic garden, including fresh salads with heirloom tomatoes. A glass of wine from Wölffer Estate is a summer staple. We love to go out and eat at Estia’s Little Kitchen in Sag Harbor, Wölffer Kitchen and Little Red in Southampton.”

“My ideal night out is having a Montauk Summer Ale at Montauket and watching the sunset, followed by dinner at the Crow's Nest, Harvest or Inlet. Then, depending on how I’m feeling, I’ll either head home to rest up for early-morning surfing and SoulCycle the next day, orI’ll head out for a bit to grab drinks with friends in town.”

“I love the old-school vibe of the American Hotel in Sag Harbor for traditional cocktails and dinner, and Main Street is great for a stroll before or after. Or grab one of the hotel’s backgammon boards and relax with a glass of wine in the lobby.”

“One of my favorite things to do in the Hamptons is go to Sunset Beach by car or boat for the day, and stay for the sunset and dinner. You feel like you’re in a beachy European town, and the sunsets are incredible.”
