WHAT'S IN.... WHAT'S OUT... SUMMER '16 IN THE HAMPTONS! PLUS MIXING,MINGLING AND MORE AT THE OLD STOVE PUB!

Trends may come and go but when it comes to the Hamptons, trends come and go like tissue paper.   So, while it wasn't that long ago Rick Astley and torn sweatshirts were all the rage here on the east end... shut up, it really was hip not that long ago.   There are new trends that have invaded homes from Westhampton to Montauk this year and lucky for you, I'm here to tell you all about them.     Because as everyone knows... I define what's cool!   Cool like listening to Barry Manilow at a TGI Friday's.

In:  Buddhaberry, Sag Harbor - GENIUS!   Self serve frozen yogurt where children young and old can fill up their cups to the rim and pay by the weight!   Yes,  it's also really good and healthier than ice cream as long as you don't pile on the Reese's and gummy bears.    It's also a scene on weekend nights with more mingling than Tindr. 

HOT!  Especially the Brazil thing.. but not Zika Brazil!

Out:   Speedway, Wainscott -  Yes, they have Ben and Jerry's but the melted and refrozen texure just isn't quite as appealing as it was when Rick Astley ruled the airwaves!

Vineyardvines.com

In:  Havaianas -  Cheap fashionable footwear that says, "Hey, I don't need no stinkin' Gucci loafers to look cool."  

Out:  Crocs -   Do I really need to spell it out?   They jumped the shark when you could spot them easily at the Mall of America.  

In:  Vineyard Vines -  Great polo shirts, shorts, t-shirts and more with snappy yet preppy designs that aren't a ton of money.    There is also a great outlet store at Tanger in Riverhead for those of you who are even cheaper than I am.      

Out:  US. Polo Association Polo Shirts  - Ummmmmmmm, We know they're not Ralph Lauren, so why are you trying to fool us?

In:  Bagels from Goldberg's in Wainscott - Fresh bagels with friendly service and no weird lectures about the state of immigration at the register.   I love this place!

Out:  Thomas' Bagels from Walbaums in East Hampon - you would have thought I was drowning kittens in the salt water pool when I brought these home a few weeks ago.   I apologize everyone!  It will never happen again!

Old stove pub... .drinks in the yard!!! 

It's ain't the Swamp but..... 

Finally something that hopefully will be very "In" for this summer....  Saturday cocktails at the Old Stove Pub iin Sagaonponack.   Every Saturday from 5-7pm, they'll be opening their doors to east end members of the LGBT community for a Saturday mixer.  Discount drinks and free passed appetizers will be offered in addition to a chance for great mixing and mingling.   There's also plenty of parking available and you'll have the chance to see if anyone with a sense of fashion still wears Crocs.   If they do, I predict they will be shunned!  The Old Stove Pub is located at 3516 Montauk Highway, opposite Town Line Rd.     631-537-3300

See you at Old Stove Pub... Saturdays 5-7pm.
