How do you know when the Hamptons have run their course for the season? Arthur Kade shows up and proclaims the Capri to be the hottest place on earth. What a place.

Hey Georgica - Where's Our Dinner?

More from the DBTH complaint line. A Little Birdy spent a weekend in the Hamptons and decided to grab dinner at Georgica, Matt Levine's summer outpost. According to our LB, it may be a good idea to show up on a full stomach, telling us "went for a birthday dinner with some buddies...4 girls 3 guys...
to make a long story short...THEY RAN OUT OF FOOD! 3 of the girls dishes Didn't COME OUT! and half a dish came out for me....so get this...to make up for it they just kept brining us glasses of vodka! ( never bringing us our orders!). They said they had placed to little orders that day and didn't have enough food to serve us! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" You wrote us, so we certainly aren't kidding you. But at least they plied you with vodka to help you make it through the evening.

Abe & Arthur's Burger = Disgusting?

Update from the much hyped Abe & Arthur's Burger Tasting this weekend at the Estate, with a DBTH commenter reporting "the burgers were disgusting!!!! over-rated, i'd rather go down the block and eat at pop burger!" Guess that unique blend of 3 meats didn't work out so well. Back to the drawing board. On the bright side, they did have the female stars of 90210 and Twilight there, so the weekend wasn't a total bust.

The Hamptons Goes Hipster

The collapse of the financial market has decimated the Hamptons real estate market, creating value opportunities for bargain hunters. Seeing as most hipsters know a thing or two about value, Jared Flint, Mike Townsend, and Steven Rojas, the team behind the Ivy party at Chloe 81, have struck a deal for a Saturday afternoon brunch party at Sole East in Montauk. Meanwhile, Captain Matt Levine is prepping for the opening of Georgica by throwing a party in the Penthouse at the Hotel on Rivington this Friday night. What excitment! Don't worry if you haven't lined up you share house just yet, there are about 1 trillion of them still available.

Quick Hits: Thursday Wake Up

Another Thursday morning, and another Quick Hits! Bam!

  • The owners of Su Casa are a little steamed that the world's first impression of their Q-Doba linked space was this photo, saying "The art hasn't been hung on the walls yet, the DJ booth isn't built out, and all of those dining tables are in there!!" Even though they have been having small get togethers, the space just isn't finished yet.
  • Recession? What recession? We hear that the Surf Lodge is doing gangbusters in reservations for the season, with a Little Birdy telling DBTH, they "are nearly sold out on over half of the weekends, with only 1 or 2 rooms available on the holiday weekend". Best book yourself a space now, or you may wind up having to stay in Westhampton. Ay Carumba!

Southside Heading Out East?

Snow is on the ground, but summer is just around the corner. With that comes our first rumor of the season, and it's a doozy. According to a Little Birdy, Anthony Martignetti and the Southside crew are all headed to the Hamptons, and are planning to "open this summer at Bamboo location in East Hampton." The space had been operating as a sushi spot for the past few seasons will get a heavy dose of New England and Australia from May through September.

Ahhh, Summer

It's freaking cold out there, Little Birdys. Really freaking cold. That's why this little number warmed our spirit up, since the warm is on its way. But while we pine away for the heat, we are fearful that season's summer rental season out east could be in trouble. The reason? A Little Birdy forwarded us a message he received from one seasoned rental operator who is now shilling for a workout routine, saying "They normally do not discount their fee for anyone, however, she has agreed to allow me to offer to my friends and those on my email list 50% off". Anything to make an honest buck these days.
