The DRL Hamptons Guide Archives

The husband and wife team behind the experience at Cove Hollow have put together a menu of classics and new flair that have us coming back frequently.

30+ years of serving up clams and beers to people going to and from Montauk. That’s Clam Bar’s claim to fame, and honestly, for us, it’s more than enough.

Channing Daughters is the Hamptons vineyard you’ve been sleeping on.

Centro is a great, under-the-radar spot to stop in either on your way in or on your way out of the east end.

Carissa’s (the Bakery!) has been carbing up the east end for a few seasons now.

Cappelletti is the latest iteration of foodservice hospitality from the genius Italian minds behind the former Espresso Italian Market, also in Sag Harbor, and Il Monestero out in East Hampton, way back in the ’80s.

BuddhaBerry is the east end’s answer to all your fro-yo needs. (And crepes and waffles and coffee and other things that’ll have you running straight to Barry’s on Monday.)

Breakers is classic motel in Montauk, located on Old Montauk Highway, has gotten a millennial-driven revamp and is quickly becoming a hotspot for the too-cool-for-Gurney’s set.

Bostwick’s is one of the most iconic restaurants out east, known for the 2+ hour waits for its lobster rolls, fresh seafood, and, of course, chowder.

A long time favorite among locals, the Blue Parrot is a storied Mexican cantina in East Hampton.

Bistro Ete is as much a restaurant as it is an opportunity: an opportunity to eat world-class cuisine, at a price-point that is far from the NYC markup, in a setting that is pretty, well, chill.

Bell & Anchor’s cuisine is a throwback to Sag Harbor’s days as, well, a harbor. It’s a local staple, popular with Sag Harbor year-rounders.

The OG Beach Hut is another local staple that you might not know about unless you’re a multiple-season veteran. Or a reader of DRL.

Places like Gig Shack are why we started DRL in the first place. They’re a quintessential part of the out east experience, and not everyone knows about them.
