SAG HARBOR
Copious Row
A former whaling community and first official port on entering the United States. Today, instead of whales you’ll see gleaming white yachts berthed closed to the town. During the War of 1812 Sag Harbor was the frontline for the British efforts to regain the Colonies. Barons Cove
SHOP at Copious Row to experience the unique mix of women’s accessories, fine and fashion jewelry and ready-to-wear clothing. From established designers to new talent such as Alberta Ferretti to YGGY Copious Row will have something to add to your summer fashion statement. Info: coupiousrow.com. STAY at Baron’s Cove and take in the waterfront resort experience at what was named the Number 5 hotel in New York last year. Baron Cove’s all-American restaurant serves all day and you can even recharge your Tesla outside for the return journey home (that is, if you want to leave!). Info: baronscove.com.
SEE something art-worthy at the Bay Street Theater. A not-for-profit 299 seat professional theater on the Long Wharf, it was founded by Sybil Christopher, Emma Walton Hamilton and Stephen Hamilton in 1991. This summer on July 7th is the 27th Annual Gala to raise funds and have an opportunity to mingle with the stars. Info: baystreet.org.
Le Bilboquet ©Doug Young
DINE at Le Bilboquet, sister to New York City social hot-spot. Now back for its second season, the discrete garden gate entrance on the side will probably be one of the hardest to get into again. Enjoy a range of elegantly prepared dishes or catch up with society around the horseshoe shaped bar while taking in the people watching and of course, the yachts. Info: lebilboquetny.com.

REAL ESTATE If a visit is not enough perhaps you will want to rent or even lay down roots in the Hamptons on a more permanent basis. Visitors with aspirations for a longer summer in the Hamptons typically rent either on a monthly basis or for the summer season from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Some sublet a room for weekends (a.k.a. the infamous “share”). Those seeking to sign a lease or rent a room though should read the rules as they differ in each of the towns comprising the Hamptons. With this in mind here are some of the people you should have on speed-dial to make your home in the Hamptons.
