Deep Hollow Ranch in Montauk, the oldest cattle ranch in America, is run by the Leaver family. The ranch development rights were bought years ago by the Town of East Hampton, but only a small portion of them. The Town is now considering to buy the full development rights of the ranch, costing around 4.5 million dollars. But hey, if it will preserve what you are about to see in the video below, it will be worth it.

East Hampton officials have denied the Seafair Yacht, an awesomely sized yacht pictured here that sells desireable art around the world. The reason they denied was because they were concerned about parking issues and about the yachts ability to navigate Three Mile Harbor. There was also that tiny issue of using the commercial dock, which would undoubtedly tick off the fisherman.
Seafair made this same request last year and got denied by East Hampton. This year however, they are not messing around and applied to Sag Harbor as well. Sag Harbor, known for it’s yachts, happily invited the Seafair to stay at the main dock in the village. Good for Sag! We love this always rising star in the Hamptons real estate empire.
Now if only I could come up with a few hundred million for a Monet!

Tom Swinimer, the delivery manager here, and myself wanted to go out for a beer and some food in Bridgehampton yesterday after work. We decided to check out World Pie and say hello to Dennis, but were stopped short when we saw this…
There was a note on the door, so we thought we’d see just what the heck was going on….
“Bobby Van’s?” Tom said…
But that was closed too, and so we checked around the corner and found Alison’s, but that was closed too! We headed to the West further to Water Mill to check out Muse, but that was closed for Tuesday night eating as well. But of course, good sushi and saki saved us.
It was so packed that even owner Toyo Kamatani was behind the bar taking orders. “Where the saki flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.”
It was a good Tuesday night find, but to be honest, I’m just happy we didn’t end up having to drive to the City.

Nothing beats local theatre in the Hamptons and some of the best comes from the The Hampton Theatre Company in Quogue. On January 10 the Hampton Theatre Company will kick off the new year with David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Glengarry Glen Ross.” The comedy is about the ridiculous competition between real estate salesmen.
You can check out these local characters at Quogue Community Hall on Jessup Avenue. These days real estate people could use a good laugh and David Mamet has the medicine.
Call 631-653-8955 for tickets or visit www.hamptontheatre.org

We stopped in for a bagel this morning at Hampton Bagels in East Hampton and saw one very happy Grandfather. Owner Bob Schepps is a very happy man. His daughter and co-worker, Michaal (that is the correct spelling) is the proud motherof a 6 lb 7 oz baby boy named Gabriel Robert Di Francesco. Michaal is doing quite well according to the sign Bob put up in the shop and it seems that the future of the bagel business looks bright.
That’s a good thing too. I don’t know where I’d be if I couldn’t get a toasted spinach everything with vegetable cream cheese and tomato and a hot cup of coffee in the morning.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Now that’s how you launch a clothing line. DonFashions, a new clothing line created by Montauk local and barely 18-years-old P.J. Monte, displayed his fashionable threads along with Southampton swimsuit designer Lu Berry on an outdoor runway at the private beach at Gurney’s Inn. DonFashions, which offers youthful designer clothing with an Italian-mobster twist, attracted the likes of Hampton clothing retailers and photographers. The event, sponsored by Hamptons Vodka and Hamptons Style Magazine among others, had a crowd of well over two hundred people giving a standing ovation for the two designers.
After the launch, Gurney’s redecorated its stunning conference room into a nightclub complete with models, fashionistas and plenty of alcohol. As PJ’s shirts would say, “I am the Don…Bitch”

Congratulations to the PhotoOp Studios and there grand opening on Butter Lane. PhotoOp Studios is the brainchild of three very different partners: Ruth Cherniak, Lucy Martin and Andrea Purcigliotti who have come up with the idea to have PhotoOp Studios be the Hampton’s premiere photography industry destination. The studio has a 2000 square foot drive-in cyclorama, 1500 square foot of wardrobe and costume rentals, as well as an eclectic inventory of props and set dressings which is just incredible and now is the first to fill such a need. We here that Glamour has already begun to do some shoots there and that Vogue is getting interested as well.
