Over the years, we've watched Montauk transform from a dusty beach town, to a hipster haven, complete with edgy hotels, celebrity chef-run restaurants, and cool poolside bars. The formula, according to Curbed, is the following:

Check out the candidates Curbed came up with and find out how you can start the next Montauk hotspot (necessary turntables, vinyl collections, retro rental bikes, and resident DJ not included). [Hamptons Curbed]
