I can’t believe it’s already that time of year; Memorial Day Weekend is almost upon us, a time to honor the men and women who graciously served our country by nobly sacrificing their lives. This special weekend also signals the unofficial start to summer, so with that, we are incredibly excited to be launching our 19th anniversary season as the leading luxury lifestyle publication of the Hamptons. We kicked off the season earlier this year in March as we celebrated the launch of our very first issue of this magazine in Palm Beach, Florida.

In the quaint little seaside villages of the East End, energy and vibrance are apparent due to the upsurge of full-time residents. As we embark on the summer season, we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting many exciting events including two polo matches in July; please be on the lookout for additional information which is forthcoming.

As with many holidays, we enjoy festivities celebrating with friends and family, so join with them to remember those who served in our military. Whether you are at a traditional backyard barbecue, picnic, family reunion or are merely soaking up the sun on any one of the pristine ocean beaches, you also might consider taking a scenic drive along the East End. There you can enjoy spectacular beach views, the scenery of picturesque farmland and lush greenery bathed in cascading sun and glimpses of some of the beautiful and varied wildlife that call the forests and ponds of the East End home. It is all truly breathtaking and memorable. Have a happy and safe holiday weekend!

Warm wishes,

Christine Montanti
