summer in the hamptons

Come summertime in the city, New Yorkers head east to a small group of villages on the tip of Long Island known as the Hamptons. For a few blissful weekends, they trade in the cacophony of the hot and crowded city for the picturesque village streets and sandy beaches of the Hamptons. While a famed playground for celebrities and the wealthy, the Hamptons also play host to a simpler, quieter life celebrating summer spent with family and friends, fresh ingredients, a passion for all things green, architecture, historical preservation and crisp modern style, and days spent out of doors. The resulting mix is a style and feel that is truly unique to this remarkable collection of villages. 

Clad in ubiquitious cedar shingles, the beachouse in East Hampton sets the tone for a relaxing day at the beach. 

Laying out a blanket field-side and enjoying a picnic lunch with other spectators is the perfect way to take in a polo match. Teams from all-over the world come to compete at the six week long Mercedes-Benz Polo Challange.
