I had so much fun the first time, I couldn’t resist an invitation to go back to the Hamptons for Labor Day Weekend. Heather, Einat and I took off Friday afternoon for the long weekend. This time we stayed in Wainscott, not far from where I’d stayed two weeks before. We started off with a fun night at Trata, which has amazing food, and we met some fun and interesting people. The next day, we went to a pool party at an amazing house in Sag Harbor. And Sunday was a mellow day of brunch, shopping in East Hampton, and a great night at Surf Lodge. It was the perfect ending to summer, and we can’t wait to go back next year!

It’s been almost five years since I moved to NY, and as much as I have loved exploring and experiencing everything in NYC, I had never made it to the Hamptons. So in mid-August, my friends and I drove out to the eastern beach towns I’d read and heard so much about. My first trip turned out to be quite the adventure - the beach, delicious seafood, girlfriends, and the celebrity sighting of a lifetime, meeting Sir Paul McCartney! Yep, you read right, I met the former Beatle, and best of all, I found him to be friendly and gracious. What an amazing weekend!
