In the Hamptons, check out new listings for Springs General Store (basic shack with sublime pies) and La Fondita (a stylized but stylish taqueria). For full listings, see our Hamptons restaurant guide.

The Hamptons are a thing you know, a New York craze. Putting together the perfect Hamptons itinerary is demanding -- the near equivalent of shopping for the perfect little black dress or learning French. Just as I was beginning to get the hang of the New York nightlife scene, the Hamptons have opened their summery doors to reveal a standard of living that isn’t all rest and relaxation.
