A day of discovery in Sag Harbor!

First I'm telling you the rumors about the demise of La Maison formerly known as JLX Bistro are greatly exaggerated. The brown paper is off the windows and it
looks as the if the restaurant run by the folks who bring you Trata will be back another year! For a time there everyone from Almond to Le Circ were rumored to be going into the spot but alas all were wrong. I stopped by and asked one of the head honchos there what the deal was and he told me La Maison will be open again for business the first weekend in May. Now, maybe this year I'll actually go in and try the food!

Secondly, since moving into the Hamptons full time I've had 3 major complaints:

1) There isn't anywhere to get shoes repaired east of the canal.

2) The movie theatres have the worst selection and options of anywhere on the planet (I swear March of the Penguins played for 3 years in East Hampton).

3) The only Tasti-D-Lite outlet (The Brown Bag in EH) is now a Sunglass Hut or something! There's no low fat yogurt/ice cream anywhere to be found!!!

Well, now I think I have answers or at least mild solutions to two of my issues. 1- I hear that they do shoe repair in King Kullen in Bridgehampton. I dropped off 3 pairs last week 2 Ferragamo's and beat up Prada. I'll let you know how they do. Issue #3... they sell ONLY 8 - no fat, low carb, low calorie ice cream (or frozen pvc) at the Ice Cream shop
in Sag Harbor. It's right next to Vincenzo's Pizza! Thank goodness... I don't have to travel all the way into the city for frozen chemically tasting stuff anymore. According to the Only 8 website, a half cup only has 32 calories. If that's the calorie count, I can deal with the funky taste.
