VALENTINE'S DAY IDEAS IF YOU WANT TO BREAK UP.... PLUS, SNOW....AGAIN... SO RELAX.

Doesn't this scream romance? Murph's

Happy Valentines Day Weekend everyone!    It's that time of year when every newspaper and blogger in the Hamptons has ideas about romantic getaways and where to go.   But where do you go when you want to break up? Forget the romance ambiance of 1770 House or East Hampton Grill, take your date to one of these notable locations and you'll be sure to be single by Monday!

Murphs, Sag Harbor - It's not that the place isn't good.   But there is absolutely nothing romantic
about this place.  It's loud, it's packed and the idea of having a quiet conversation with any sort of privacy is out of the question.    The only way anyone gets romantic there is if the beer goggles are so tight you become oxygen deprived! 

Village Hardware, East Hampton - Here's the way this one goes down.    You buy two tickets to see "Fifty Shades of Grey" at the matinee or 4:00 pm show.   You then promise a nice early romantic dinner after the movie.   After suffering through aforementioned movie, you remark how "hot" you got during the Hardware Store Scene(above).   You stroll over to Village Hardware so you can buy "a few things."   When you get to the store, head right to the staple guns!  If your date hasn't already disappeared then maybe you should.   RUN!

The front door is only a few more feet!

Harlow, Sag Harbor -  Who doesn't love a nice romantic location!?    Yes, they're closed for the season.... but if you order this weekend maybe you'll get your entree by Memorial Day Weekend.   If you want to actually try to have food, stop by the IGA first for two sandwiches and a small bag of Sun Chips.   It's all about the view right... frost bite or not!

Now for the other part of the weekend that has everyone in a tizzy.   The projected 6'' of snow we're
supposed to get this Saturday night into Sunday.  This comes hot on the tail of a  reported "frenzy" for seasonal rentals.   As I said on Monday, so many drives and walkways are covered with hard packed ice, many sellers and homeowners are blocking showings to protect against a potential lawsuit.   Yes some good homes were rented already last fall or by the renters with good snow boots but inventory is still good.     So, don't believe the hype... sip your hot chocolate, relax and have a wonderful Valentine's Day Weekend!    Hopefully you won't be going to Village Hardware or Murph's!
