beautiful sunset in Sag Harbor NY, photo by Vanessa Leggard

Beautiful Sunrise in Sag Harbor…The sunrise in Sag Harbor are so breath-taking, I just love living here year-round and enjoying the absolute beauty of this seaside town. Every Morning I take my daughter to school and we drive over the bridge we capture beautiful sunrises all year long…It is one of the few towns in the Hamptons that has a long wharf for boats and yachts to dock. The town has a beach located on Main Street, there are between 15-20 restaurants throughout Sag Harbor. We have a local theater with live performances through-out the year, and the people are great. Don’t take my bias word…visit for yourself.

 

 

Greetings Hamptons MouthPiece Readers…The Peconic Bay Keeper is our most valuable resource regarding the quality of the water in our bay.  Regardless of whether you use the beach or not, your property value is tied to the water bordering our community.

The Peconic Bay Keeper has asked for our support, I hope you will consider helping with a small donation.

THE KATHY CAMPAIGN

It has been almost four months since the double-whammy of Hurricane Sandy and the Nor’easter hit our shores…and their boat, the Kathy.

This boat is a mobile science station from which we test water quality, sample sediment and monitor marine life. The  Kathy is currently undergoing a serious restoration effort…and she needs YOUR support!

A large part of the work at Peconic Baykeeper involves patrolling the water, continually identifying and responding to pollution events and shoreline changes. The Kathy is critical in Peconic Baykeeper’s ability to engage the community and restore our local waters. Without her, they are unable to fully satisfy the demands of our mission, bringing clean water back to Long Island.

To Donate…

Greetings Hamptons MouthPiece Readers...Can you believe that January is over and it is February 2013…it often amazes me on how quickly the days go by. I love February, I guess it’s because I have always loved Valentine’s Day, I love to see couples in love, Red is my favorite color, February is National Heart awareness month, local businesses are busy like flower shops and Restaurants for Valentine’s Day and its Black History Month. Many people continue to think there is nothing to do in the Hamptons in the Winter, but that is not the case. There are many things happening during the month of February…great time to spend a romantic weekend in the Hamptons, nothing better than snuggling on a cold winter day under a heavy blanket nice and cozy, next to the one you love. Many Hamptons Inns have winter specials, reach out to your favorites and book a room, spend Valentine’s Weekend in the Hamptons.

Rockefeller Center 2012Greetings Hamptons MouthPiece Readers….Earlier this week my lovely daughter and I drove into Manhattan, saw the tree at Rockefeller Center and had lunch at Bobby Van’s…we were anxious to visit because we enjoyed the food at the Bridgehampton location. The traffic was horrible going into the city but 3 hours later we arrived and parked on the East side and walked over to the West Side. We arrived around 130pm and the place was fully occupied with a lunch crowd. Everyone was smartly dressed in business attire and although every seat in the restaurant was occupied the acoustics in the restaurant were not so over-whelming. It felt private and you were able to hold a conversation within your party.
Dani LeggardWe checked our coats which was very nice to not be tied down to big bulky coats at the table, and we were seated immediately even though we were nearly an hour late from our reserved time. Our waiter Mike introduced himself and asked for our drink order, Dani settled for water and I ordered my usual Seltzer with a splash of cranberry and lime. Soon after bread was delivered, a nice variety, but I wish it was warm, however had it been I would have devoured it so maybe that was a blessing for my waist side.

Lump crab cake.Bobby VansWe placed our orders and I chose to start with an appetizer…I ordered the lump crab cake. It was delectable and melted in my mouth. It made me excited about the next dish. Dani decided not to have an appetizer since she was having a very heavy lunch she wanted to savor her taste buds for her meal.

It was time for our main dish, I chose to order the Lemon & Pepper Shrimp and Danielle ordered the Petite Lemon Pepper shrimpFilet Mignon, each dish came with a side order of hash browns. My dish was pleasantly delicious although the first bite was a bit over-whelming with the zest of the lemon but after that I really enjoyed the meal and cleared the plate.

Danielle loved her steak, it was juicy & succulent, melted in your mouth. The dipping sauce on the side was ridiculously amazing and the hash browns just completed the meal. The petite size was a perfect serving size for her.Petite Filet MignonWe both cleared our plates and decided to complete our dining experience we needed desert. Mike our waiter came over and we asked him for some recommendations we completely appreciated his honesty and his recommendations were right on target. Danielle ordered the Creme Brûlée and I ordered the Chocolate Truffle Cake with Homemade Whipped Creme e. OMG….DELICIOUS!!!!

Overall we had a pleasant dining experience. The place was lively, the service was wonderful, the food was amazing. I found the place to be a perfect choice for groups because they seem to specialize in group style portions; we saw many tables sharing a meal. Next time I am NYC I plan on visiting in the evening to check out the bar scene because I bet that is awesome. This is a restaurant to add to your list of NYC places to visit, especially if you are in the mood for steak.Creme Brûlée

Bobby Van’s Grill will be open for New Year’s Eve offering a premier of traditional American Grill fare, classics steakhouse favorites, fresh seafood and wood-fired pizza. Bobby Van’s is at 135 west 50th Street (bet: 6 &7th ave ) Price is expensive, but worth it. I said today I would rather spend $150 and enjoy my meal than $30 and walk away feel incomplete….
If you are in the Hamptons be sure to stop by their Hamptons place on Main Street in Bridgehampton, NY
