East Hampton

This interpretation of the Prada retail experience leans into the breeziness of its new location: a row of massive, airy windows giving passersby views of the floor-to-ceiling striped interior—done in what’s become the new Prada signature palette of green and white.

This new spot for a casual, super satisfying dinner out comes from the couple behind the Vine Street Café on Shelter Island.

Founded by biologic dentist Gerry Curatola, Rejuvenation Health focuses on total-body wellness and biological dentistry. Book an appointment for allergy testing, craniosacral therapy, nutritional counseling, detox programs, and the full spectrum of dental treatments, including heavy-metal removal, BPA-free fillings, and TMJ therapy.

Quintessential Hamptons shingles on the outside, très jolie Parisian townhouse on the inside, the Chanel Ephemeral Boutique is the absolute chicest of two incredibly chic worlds. Chanel’s signature tweed rugs, plush sofas, and crisp color palette (black, white, gold) serve as the backdrop for a tight edit of classic jewelry, bags, shoes, and ready-to-wear.

We were excited to see Cartier’s summer pop-up land on Main Street for the window-shopping opportunities alone. And without an appointment, you may be relegated to window-shopping while you wait in line.

We don’t call out every luxury retail outpost in the Hamptons—there are many—but the new Gucci store merits a mention. After several pop-ups and collaborations in the area over the last few years, the born-in-Florence brand has committed to a permanent space on Newtown Lane. Like any Gucci outpost, the interior is wildly cool. Ocean-blue moiré walls, plush velvet armchairs, and gorgeous brass fixtures frame the merchandise, which happens to be a Hamptons-specific capsule: coastal blue leather trims and Hamptons emblems cover the range of bucket bags and totes you’ll find inside, plus the usual edit of clothing and accessories.

Open through September 30th, San Francisco’s Berggruen Gallery presents a medley of modern and contemporary multi-media works. Berggruen is known for its deliberate curation of contrasting genres and periods. This summer expect a line-up that includes John Currin, Richard Diebenkorn, Diana Al-Hadid, and Wayne Thiebaud. While it’s open seven days a week, it’s worth noting that Mondays and Tuesdays are by appointment only. Images courtesy of Lena Yaremenko.

Balmy summer nights and dinner plans with a crowd call for the shareable feasts Mexican cuisine does best. Rita Cantina is new to the Springs and sticks to local bounty (where possible) for its menu of wagyu short rib birria tacos, fried scallops, and grilled Mexican street corn. Great food aside, the yellow-and-white patio with its stripey parasols is a sunny, happy place to hang out both day and night. Images courtesy of Eric Striffler.

SíSí is a pan-Mediterranean concept dishing out Levantine, Greek, and Italian classics like Fattoush salad, pasta, and tahini-and-charred-lemon drizzled everything. In other words, all the exploding-with-flavor veggie-forward food that feels so right on hot summer nights. Located within the newly-opened EHP Resort & Marina, the view—especially at sunset—is spectacular. If you happen to be exploring the East End by boat, the marina accommodates anything from twenty-five to one-hundred-and-twenty footers, making docking and dining a total breeze.

A new hotel opening in the Hamptons is always a big deal. The former East Hampton Point has recently changed ownership and undergone a coastal-themed refresh. With its cottages and suites—complete with balconies, decks, even backyards—EHP is one of the more private properties in the area. Amenities-wise, you’re spoiled for choice: Tennis courts, a well-appointed gym, wellness programming, and water activities. Once you check in, pull on a Frette robe, power up the Vitruvi diffuser, and watch the sun sink into the harbor. Images courtesy of EHP Resort & Marina
