“Off The Eaten Path”…NYC’s Thunder Jackson’s Coming Soon
We recently stumbled across this location under construction and got the dish on a new restaurant and bar opening in East Quogue. New York City’s Thunder Jackson’s will be having a soft opening sometime next week and the executive chef of the West Village restaurant/bar, Ian Russo, will be bringing his menu to the Hamptons location as well… More »

How To Survive Monday Nights In The Hamptons? Please Do Tell
The GofG Hamptons crew needs a little assistance. With all the buzz that’s been surrounding Blue Parrot along with what we believed to be solid proof they were open, we decided what better way to spend our Monday night than heading to East Hampton to check it out for ourselves. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with a dark, empty Blue Parrot and a “Sorry We Are Closed” sign… More »

Gwyneth Paltrow Hits Nick & Toni’s
As I will be gone in PA for the wedding of New York City Ballet’s Principal Ballerina Abi Stafford, I decided to come enjoy my house just for Thursday night. Since I hadn’t been to Nick & Toni’s in awhile, I found myself craving their famous roast chicken and zucchini chips! The service was particularly bad which was very out of character, and it wasn’t long before I realized why! All attention was being paid to one large table where sat Gwyneth Paltrow and her friends! And a friend informed me that she graced The Laundry with her mother the night before…
No surprise… This weekend Miss Paltrow with friends Madonna and Steven Klein and Detail’s magazine from 8-11 on August 9th will be hosting a benefit for Amaryllis Equine rescue at Steven’s estate. The tickets are a pricey $500 however, so I hope you’ve been saving up!

Rob Gettling’s Bathtub Lobsters At The Dock House
[The Dock House, Sag Harbor]
Why We Love The Dock House in Sag Harbor:
- Because they write their menu on old school chalkboards
- Because you get to pick out your own lobster
- Because their lobsters are housed in an old bathtub
- Because Rob Gettling, the MAN IN CHARGE is one of the coolest guys in town
- Because you get to hold a seashell with your order number written on it
- Because they have the best Oysters to Go
- Because the pasta salad, the corn on the cob, the chicken salad and the lobster are too good not to
- Because they have a diner-like coffee bar
- Because you get to sit on old barrels while watching the ships dock in the harbor outside
- Because it serves the best no-hassle seafood on Long Wharf

Why We Love Pierre’s
Because c’est adorable, in an upscale but personal tropical resorty way. Because it serves straight-from-the-oven croissants and almond brioche in the early morning. Because the mimosas and mango bellinis are effervescent perfection. Because most of the ingredients on the French/New American menu are locally sourced. Because the main courses (like parmesan-encrusted Chilean sea bass and a Long Island duck magret) are called “Plats de Resistance.” Because there’s also a cheerful yellow bar, and, on Tuesdays, live music. Jody Carlson and her band go on at 8, and I hear they do a mean “Mountains of Things.” See you there!
Pierre’s is located at 2468 Main Street, Bridgehampton

BYOBing A Hamptons Don’t?
Okay, I know I just waxed rawther enthusiastic over Lenndevours, but one of his posts deals with where one can byob on Long Island. At school, this was often one of my friends and my restaurant criteria, but I haven’t noticed anyone doing likewise out here. Indeed, none of the entries on Thompson’s list or in his commenters’ suggestions are located on the east end.

Hamptons Hamburgers
Reading the NYT article this morning on Parisians’ new obsession with burgers has got me a) drooling, and b) wondering where’s best round here to do something about it.
I know Rachelle loves the Surf Lodge’s egg-topped version, and The Palm does a fantastic broiled sirloin one, but I figure, as burgers are the consumate summer food and the Hamptons are, right now at least, a consumate summer getaway, that there must be myriad other options. I’m not so interested in the haute burger -the city has those in abundance. What I’m looking for is simplicity and highest quality ingredients, cooked medium rare. Suggestions?

By Sunday most people are just FINALLY getting into their weekend groove, which is really unfortunate considering Monday’s imminent doom. Sunday nights are the worst. Which is why, you must make an extra effort to fill your weekend with magic to forget about the dwindling hours of freedom. Surf Lodge is here to help. Last Sunday they showed us all how a party SHOULD be done hosting Rhett Miller who became part of the gorgeous sunset backdrop.

Jeffery Chodorow’s Kobe Club Expansion Proves Not Everyone Reads Reviews
Though Frank Bruni and Adam Platt eviscerated Jeffery Chodorow’s exotic steak mothership, all three Kobe Clubs (the other two are in Miami and East Hampton), are doing well enough for Chodorow to lay down plans for a fall Acapulco branch and another, whose exact location has yet to be determined, in L.A. Certainly the Kobe Beach Club here has been a major success -every time I’ve driven by, its parking lot has been clogged with luxury European automobiles. Perhaps sharing space with Lily Pond has its benefits? More »

Why We Love Townline BBQ
Because the menu is simple, rib-stickin Texan ‘cue. Because the menu’s printed on a board, McDonald’s style, in fat red letters. Because the staff are friendly, and honest. “You sure you want that?” one asked Rachelle after she ordered the fried mac ‘n cheese. Because she did want it, and rightly so.
Because, in addition to burnt ends, pulled chicken, and ribs, Townline also offers something called Texas caviar, a mix of black-eyed peas, peppers, onions, and lime chili sauce. Because the decor is a mix of industrial chic and rustic lodge. Because a meal there will tide you over all week. More »
