[Photo via] Well (thankfully) this party escaped our Calendar radar. But that doesn't mean we will forget about a recap post!  Apparently some serious and mischievous partying went down in North Sea last Friday night. When the 47-year old Manhattan man came back to his home on Bridies Path after leaving Aug. 21, he was surprised to find used condoms and $170 worth of wine, champagne and food missing from his fridge, according to Patch. I'm imagining something like Jake Ryan's party in Sixteen Candles. More»

[Photo via] Say good bye to the 20 pound backpacks of big textbooks this school year, kids. Sixth grade just got a hell of a lot cooler as the Southampton School District is trying to replace as many dusty big books with snazzy iPads. The teachers are testing out a trial run with the iPad 2 and the sixth grade curriculum. The grade's core classes will have 110 iPads available and the high school will receive 60 new Lenovo ThinkPad T420 laptops. More»

Go HERE for more photos of Hurricane Irene in the Hamptons!

What a hurricane! It's the day after the most wild night to hit the stretch of 27 East, and after spending a solid amount of hours with lack of electricity, internet or television, all I can think about right now is getting a good meal and surfing the web. But, somewhat like a horrible hurricane hangover, all there is is long lines, horrendous traffic, loud noises and still many places are without power. More»

[Photo via] Hamptonites are scared out of their Sperry's about Hurricane Irene coming to town! Turns out the storm may be boosted up to a Category 4, and it has been announced the Hamptons will be getting hit HARD. People are more nervous about this than their in-laws coming to town, in fact the LIRR is shutting down some of their lines headed to the Hamptons, and some of the best events are being canceled. ArtWalk, a benefit for the Coalition for the Homeless, was first moved indoors, then two hours later canceled completely! See what else has been canceled, and what events are still on (for now).

We all know the people roaming around Montauk these days. It is safe to say that this summer the town of Montauk has had the most traffic it has ever seen. While bars, restaurants and stores are popping up left and right one man is looking to keep the history alive.

Lawrence Cooke is looking to raise the $500,00 needed to expand a small cottage on the back of a piece of property that is currently owned by the Monatuk Historical Society into the location for The Montauk Indian Museum. [Photo via] More»

How does the saying go? It is not a party until there is a fight? Did I just make that up? Anyway, you know what I am trying to say, once the hands start flying, you know you have thrown a rager. However, when the hands flying are your mother's, and they are at your face, you know shit just hit the fan. [Photo via] More»

I'm never one to make it to the train a few minutes early -- I've figured out it is about a 3 minute drive to the train station from my house and if I leave 4 minutes ahead of time, I'll be golden. But the most stressful part about the rush is getting that ticket. It's always been cash only for ticket purchases on the train and that's another thing, I rarely have cash. I'll sometimes buy the ticket ahead of time but a last minute decision to head into the city is always risky because no ticket, no ride. [Photo via] More»
