East Hampton, NY - The Art of Hospitality
Remarkably, the Hamptons have escaped the drastic heatwave afflicting so much of the country this year. And, so far, the COVID-19 positivity rate remains low in the area.

As winter approaches, nor’easters and snow squalls threaten to invade the calm and quiet we often take for granted.

This week we talk about traveling East to visit family and friends for the Holiday or simply escaping to the East End for a very intimate long weekend for two!

Something that would involve many more people at smaller donations, and be a lot more fun! Rock & Roll!
