Hamptons Recreation..Things to do this summer 2013..There are so many recreational things to enjoy in the Hamptons during the course of the summer…over 14 fun activities…Windsurfing, kayaking, swimming, horseback riding, soccer, stand-up paddleboarding, golf, tennis, sailing, baseball, volleyball, basketball, rowing, lifeguarding, biking, and much much more… There are many camps for kids to take part in, some expensive and a couple of very inexpensive camps. There are several clinics in each town, like soccer, baseball, golf, basketball, field hockey & volleyball. There are lessons, classes, tours for most recreational sports that you want. If families are in need of some recreational equipment to take part in these fun activities, they can look at this to find kayaks in different styles so they can join in on the summer fun.

BEACHbikeOne of my favorite hidden secrets in the Hamptons is Amagansett Beach & Bicycle…in Amagansett, NY…I love this business because they offer rentals for Bikes*Kayaks*Surf boards/paddle boards*Boogie boards. They deliver and pick-up and that is VERY COOL. Basically you can have any of these items delivered right to your home and waiting for you when you get to your house. If you are having guest for 1 day or 1 week, you can arrange for a rental and have the bikes or any other item delivered and this way your guest can have a fun-filled week to explore the Hamptons. It’s similar services to you going on vacation yourself and looking on the web for a local bike rental company to collect a bicycle from to use for a day or two. Amagansett Beach & Bicycle is the connoisseur of recreational equipment in the Hamptons with that added touch of delivering. They will also pick-up and deliver if your bike needs repair, they have on staff technicians and therefore they have the added value of experienced staff in-house to help with all of your biking needs.

Holiday House was founded six years ago by Iris Dankner to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer through the interior design industry. Having survived the disease through early detection, Iris has made it her mission to support breast cancer research and help women who are facing the same fight.

In 2008, Iris combined her passion for design and her efforts to help others by creating Holiday House, the first showhouse in New York City to benefit a breast cancer organization. Each year since, Holiday House has recruited top interior designers from across the country to transform the historic Academy Mansion on the Upper East Side, establishing itself as a premier designer showhouse in Manhattan.

Hamptons Best: The 10 Best Bakeries in the Hamptons...Greetings Hamptons MouthPiece readers…I admit it…I have a sweet tooth…I love dessert, but unfortunately my hips are rebelling and that’s not good*However I do not always deprive myself, I just will indulge only once a week instead of everyday.

There have been times when I am traveling and looking for a bakery and unable to find a good one, I thought I would make your search just a little easier.

Talented with a smoky voice – ALEX will be unforgettable! There is a reason ALEX has developed a following.. With her Smokey , Smooth, and Silky style she has mesmerized audiences at a very tender age, far beyond her generation’s expectations.  From her  sultry ability to captivate singing Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” to Sting’s introspective “Fragile” she  reveals a range and scope that echoes the before and after in the annals of great music  literature.  Versatile in selections in French, Greek, and Spanish she has enjoyed rave reviews for her international flare.. the famed “Quien sera” is always a big crowd pleaser.    In order to reach for the stars, she has now joined  forces with the juggernaut Vocal/Artistic  director which Oprah Winfrey has dubbed “The Vocal Coach to the Stars”, Kenn Hicks. Even though Kenn’s client list is quite extensive from JLO, Sting, to Mary J. Blige he has taken an interest in ALEX as a true upcoming artist to watch.  According to Hicks… “ALEX possesses a wealth of zeal, passion, and compassion when she sings which are vital elements of distinction as an artist carves out their own niche in the world of music.”

Hope to see many of you on June 6th  5-8pm at Wolfer...I had the pleasure to see Alex perform last year at Wolffer and I am looking forward to hearing her again this year…..Check out other Wolffer events this summer…click here...
