Restaurants/Bars/Hotels: THE CROW'S NEST
THE #CROWS NEST ON INSTAGRAM = N/A (there are too many #crowsnests around the world)
Once a run down local restaurant, the Crows Nest has been transformed into a hotel/restaurant combo with a scene that feels similar to our vacations on the Mediterranean. Think cool surfer families sampling a hummus platter, and roasting marshmallow around a smoldering camp fire. Both local hip families (ala Ralph Lauren, Peter Beard, Bruce Webber), and visitors in from the city spend hours waiting for a table. Luckily there's lake Montauk to cool down at while they do.
Rating: 3 Fedoras. For the "too cool to get a table" and marshmallow roasting activities. Most of the hampters here are ones over 35. (Full disclosure, the owner of this site is married to the owner of this restaurant).

Sorry, but wasn't it the brilliant booksellers at BookHampton that baptized the great unwashed "Hampsters?" According to the New Yorker and the Village Voice it was. [blogs.villagevoice.com]

The gig shack is not owned by locals. The people who own it lived in NYC and had a house out here. SO they are NOT LOCALS!!!!! None of them were born and raised out here year round. Check your facts. This is just one of the many false statements that I have read on this craptastic site!
