The Baker House 1650
Helmed by Antonella Bertello-Rosen, this award-winning East Hampton hotel books up quickly. Bertello-Rosen and her husband purchased the property in 2005, added luxurious amenities (like an indulgent on-site spa) and turned the historic hotel into a must-visit for discerning travelers.

The Clam Bar
It’s not really summer until you’ve had a lobster roll, and one of the East End’s best can be found at the Clam Bar in Amagansett. Owner Betsy Flinn’s no-frills spot also serves up heaping piles of fried clams and spicy crab chowder—and a high likelihood of spotting a celebrity or three.

Montauk Wine Company
Anneris Blair started Montauk Wine Company in 2017 because she wanted a wine that tasted like a Montauk summer. We’ll be thanking her for that all year. This season, the company debuted two very drinkable wines: a lively white blend and a rosé blend of Syrah, Malbec and Merlot.
