We hate spoilers. So when a copy of the script for Matthew Broderick’s upcoming Hamptons-based TV show “Beach Lane” mysteriously appeared in our inbox, we were a little hesitant to take a peek. Of course, that pause lasted about two seconds before we downloaded the file and started to read it. Our take: funny! And while we’re [...]

Things are looking up in the Hamptons. Buoyed by a rising financial tide down on Wall Street, the volume of property sales in the ritzy Long Island beachfront community surged by 59% in the final quarter of the year, compared with the hyper-depressed levels of a year earlier, according to a report released Thursday. The [...]

Westhampton Beach - Of the many Irish pubs in the Hamptons, one of my favorites is Finn McCool’s in Westhampton Beach. The name is the anglicized version of Fionn mac Cumhaill, a legendary warrior in Irish mythology. This pub/restaurant has created its own legend in recent years and become a favorite of year-round locals, summer [...]

The 51-year-old mother of two purchased the ranch from the ex-wife of designer Calvin Klein.  Part of the purchase agreement stipulated that Madonna must keep [...]

What every fashionista — or as I was just educated this week — recessionista needs to know about the Hamptons and fashion is that where there is a will, there is always a way to get the top brands. The ladies that lunch in the Hamptons would not be seen sporting the same Dior suit [...]

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Billy Joel is selling a pair of adjacent homes in the Hamptons for $35 million after a split from third wife Katie Lee Joel.
The bigger of the two homes once belonged to the late “Jaws” actor, Roy Scheider. Joel bought it for his newlywed wife in 2004. He also [...]

The premise of the latest hit medical drama sounds improbable even for television: A doctor who makes house calls. In the Hamptons. Dashing among the hedgerows, dropping in on the rich and sick at one eye-popping estate after another.

 
But come on. Who makes house calls these days, even on TV? The last such doc who [...]

We actually think it’s cool that Hank is friends with 17-year-old Tucker. If you were a decent 30-something guy and you met a really cool teenage kid with an absentee dad, why not step in? We enjoyed Tucker’s yellow button-down. His dad’s addiction story was way better than the horse and illustrator storylines of late. [...]

From the outside it is not your typical Hamptons homestead: the grey-clapboard exterior, the somewhat unkempt quarter-acre garden.
