A Special Hamptons Summer Update...

Summer is just around the corner, and Mother Nature has been teasing us all month. We hope that means she will be making it up to us this season out east.  We've already spoken to team Cain who confirmed that this year will be better than ever at Surf Lodge in Montauk, and Team Strategic will be roping in the kids at Dune, but what else can you expect this year?

The Blue Parrot is set to reopen!  The tex-mex joint in East Hampton has been closed for the last two years.  Ron Perelman, Jon Bon Jovi, and Larry Gagosian bought up the lease from Lee Bieler, because they just can't stand it being closed for one more season. [Blue Parrot Reopening]

The Southside Team is rumored to be opening a space out East and Pink Elephant is sure to be on location, providing us with goobers of photos for our "Best $2k" columns.

Besides all this, the College Humor boys will be back in their house this summer, Devorah Rose is planning an ultra fabulous "Social Life" estate again, and Eater.com will be serving up their big juicy burgers.

What else is going on this summer? Let me know where you will be, what I'm missing, and what you would like us to cover more of this year on our sister hamptons site.
