Summers in the Hamptons: Part Three

by Rebecca Darakhshan

Aug 10, 2023

Welcome back to my Hamptons blog series! In this exciting installment, join me as I recount fabulous moments from a girls’ weekend in the charming oasis of Montauk.

Our weekend kicked off on a tasteful note at renowned Wolffer Winery. The weather may have been overcast, but it was the perfect backdrop for a delightful winetasting experience.

Montauk

Dinnertime led us to Crows Nest, a dining haven that perfectly blends elegance with a laid-back beach vibe. Our evening began at the outdoor bar, offering a panoramic view of tranquil Lake Montauk. Cocktails flowed, and my personal favorite, the refreshing watermelon cooler, added a burst of summer to our day. As the sun started to set, we moved indoors to eat dinner in the dining room. My choice, the lobster fettuccine, was an absolute treat!

With the night still young, we met up with friends and headed to Gurney’s Fire Pit, an atmospheric outdoor lounge overlooking the ocean, where we danced the night away.

The following day we made our way to New York Pilates, where we enjoyed a workout session that left us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Fueled by a sense of accomplishment, we rewarded ourselves with coffee and set off on a shopping spree through Montauk’s charming streets. Among the boutiques that stole our hearts were Wyld Blue, Bontemps and Montauk Dazies — each offering a unique array of treasures.

After spending the rest of our Saturday lounging by the pool, our gastronomic adventure continued at Talya, the new Mediterranean restaurant once occupied by Ruschmeyers. As the evening unfolded, the restaurant transformed into a vibrant nightlife scene where we stayed after dinner until we went back to our Airbnb.

Montauk

Regrettably, Sunday brought rain to our idyllic weekend. Nevertheless, we seized the moment and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at Sant Ambroeus in East Hampton. It was the perfect conclusion to our Montauk girls’ escapade.
