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 [...]

Besides the fall Saturday ritual of watching the University of Michigan Wolverines playing for a victorious denouncement, only two other events deliver the equivalent athletic craze.  Each happens every four years, with a two-year hiatus between one and the other, and always in a different country. 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.

Not quite ready to say goodbye to summer, we packed our trolley suitecases, and headed out East for another beautiful weekend in the Hamptons. Although hopes were high for a few days of sunshine and sunbathing on the beach, the alternative of rolled up jeans, as we walked along the [...]
