If last week’s refurbishing of our weekly shucks wasn’t indication enough, we’ve been feeling happy happy lately. Something about a warm summer day that necessitates cold freshly shucked oysters, and whole lot of them. Although we do favor an occasional splurge on the cream of the crop with our dear [...]

As we move into August and embrace those steaming hot summer days, what better way to cool off then with some freshly shucked oysters and a piercing cold wine or beer?  If you are like us, and prefer your oysters good and plenty, then a happy hour is just the [...]

A warm summer day, a beach side restaurant with oysters, and a glass of stifling cold rose wine, although definitively subjective, is how we would describe perfection. Add a few tiki torches, a boat turned bar, and a gorgeous view, and what you have is the new East End pop [...]

Perhaps for a few small details that strayed from our ideal evening in Montauk, we always enjoyed stopping by the Surf Lodge for the culinary preparations by Chef Sam Talbot.

No, we are not [...]

In a full throttle birthday celebration weekend, we took on our favorite East End spots to bring you a full review of the best places for cold freshly shucked clams, piping hot steamers, chunky lobster rolls and of course a few oysters.

An enduring gastronomical course on Sunday following a 13.1 mile tear towards Coney Island on Saturday, it was two days of Carnivals and Amusement Parks. As one dispatched at the notorious Nathan’s [...]

Always an evening of thrills and jitters, attending a sporting event at Madison Square Garden became even more exciting this year. Although considering the nature of this venue it would make more sense to attribute this brouhaha to a pretty good season for the New York Knicks, and the recent [...]

The greatest thing about living in New York City is the constant plethora of activities and events. There is always something different to sample or participate in. It can even be difficult to decide on just a few at times. This weekend happened to be no different, as we partook [...]
