From the Boat to the Beach, the old JL East gets spruced up and ready for the summer!! Announcing the BEACH HOUSE!

It looks like they're working around the clock to get the former PRIME 103...JL East... Peconic Coast spot into shape for restaurateur Michael Gluckman's latest, "THE BEACH HOUSE." I'm told they're making it similar to their old "The Lodge" with a bit more fish and seafood thrown into

the mix. If you've never been inside the place, it's one of the best locations in the Hamptons. According to some, It's allegedly been mired in litigation and unable to change hands from the man known as Jean Luc (Ed Kleefeld). Don't you love that, I'm changing my name now too... call me Dash Riprock Fromage! It sounds kind of french and dashing!? Right? Anyway, earlier this year Gluckman unloaded the old Bamboo (Shiki) and started putting forth his efforts into the new location.

You might also remember Gluckman along with manager Rory Boothby ran a very successful afternoon tea dance at the Lodge. According to the latter, look for that to continue at the Beach House this summer. With an amazing outdoor patio and expansive bar space, it should be a bigger and more consistent crowd. Look for an opening sometime in the next 3 weeks.
