Justin & Isabelle Photo by Dear Stacey First Things First: Pick the Place

nd speaking of “facilities”: has there ever been a less romantic Aword? You don’t want your wedding hosted in a “facility.” You want it hosted somewhere that means something to you. Somewhere that tells the story of your love – or gives it room to keep on growing and thriving. And lucky you: there are a wealth of moving, meaningful places right here on the East End, from utterly private courtyards to sprawling ocean vistas.

Host Your Wedding… in Your Own Backyard If you’re lucky enough to own your own little piece of the East End, well…you’re lucky enough! And if not, there are plenty of generous homeowners eager to rent their picture-postcard beach homes for your big day. Consider a large- scale rental or bed-and-breakfast, where your guests can all stay on site, then host the ceremony on the grounds (and party all night afterwards with nowhere to drive!) Whether you choose to keep things really small with a beach shack and a few hand-picked witnesses or a bit more bold, with a select guest list and a decadent meal afterwards, nothing beats the convenience and comfort of getting married, then tucking into bed at the end of the night right on site.

Pro Tip: Be sure to let the proprietors know what you have planned; they have likely hosted weddings before, and can help with everything from the choice of caterer to the ideal spot on the

here’s no shortage of pizza in the state of New York – Ta blessing, but also a curse for having to constantly be on guard, watching out for the multitudinous pies that are merely mediocre, never quite satisfying a craving in full. To forego this constant uncertainty, look to these six spots in the Hamptons, which promise the best pies of every kind, from authentic Italian to high- end gourmet to being driven by ingredients sourced Moby's Mushroom Pizza not far from the oven. LULU'S KITCHEN MOBY'S n Main Street in Sag Harbor, Lulu Kitchen O& Bar is open on Sundays for one of the best nce upon a time, a charmingly restored brunches around. There are egg dishes, tartines, Owhite house between East Hampton French toast, and pancakes, but to get a taste of what and Amagansett was home to a beloved is offered by the enormous, custom-built wood oven Italian restaurant called Moby’s. For the that is the centerpiece of the restaurant, look to the past few summer seasons, Moby’s moved out two brunch pizzas. There’s the egg, yogurt, and cheese and Manhattan’s Michelin-favorite Eleven Khachapurri, or better yet, the Gravlax pie with Madison Park temporarily moved in, while house-smoked salmon, straciatella, and mozzarella, Moby’s relocated to a different spot on the East and the rest of the usual lox toppings: pickled red Hampton Point marina. But this summer, onion, capers, lemon oil, and a bit of frisée. Paired Moby’s has returned to its original digs, and – with a mimosa on one of the cushy brown leather despite the pandemic – it’s never looked more banquettes, it’s a most welcome alternative to the at home. Vegetable-based tapas to start, pastas, usual bagel sandwich. pizzas, and two larger mains – whole local black bass and a half free-range chicken – comprise (126 Main St., Sag Harbor) the menu, which is best ordered to share. From the pie selection, the Mushroom tosses an array of wild mushrooms atop cheese and bitter young greens for a umami-filled – and picture-perfect – accompaniment to the rest of the meal.

RUSCHMEYER'S

ike all things at Ruschmeyer’s, the basic Lpleasures are what steal the show, be they the bonfires burning at night with friends gathered around cooking s’mores, the hammocks strung up in the trees, and the lovely whitewashed rooms for guests. But this year, the restaurant – which has long taken a farm-to-table approach to modern American cuisine – has taken a different turn, with two Italian chef brothers transforming the menu into an extravaganza from their homeland. Giuseppe and Enzo Lentini – also behind their Upper East Side’s namesake, the much-revered Lentini – here devised a menu that includes their family’s own chicken parmigiana recipe, catches of the day, an entire entrée of homemade cheese and sausage, and some of the best pastas and pizzas around. At this level of Italian cooking, simpler is always better, hence the Margherita pie – with imported tomatoes for authenticity, no less.

WORLD PIE

orget the fluff. Sometimes, an uncomplicated, Fdecent pizza is all that is wanted, accompanied by a decent beverage and a decent environment – could be at home on the couch, steam from the pizza box filling the living room with the smell of melted cheese; could be in a homely, wood-accented establishment that’s been churning out Caesar salads, mozzarella sticks, and a wide array of pizza pies for years. This is precisely where World Pie fits into the pizza restaurant mix. It won’t contend with the gourmet heavy-hitters, nor does it try to; rather, it offers more than 20 pies in individual and large sizes, as well every relevant salad, appetizer, and (true to its name) international main course. But with the range of menu items running the gamut from a marinated shrimp option to a Mexican taco pizza to a puttanesca, it’s hard to find something that won’t please; there’s even the Mr. Tang, comprised of duck, scallions and cilantro, and mozzarella and goat cheese, for those who wish they were eating takeout Chinese instead. (2402 Montauk Hwy., Bridgehampton) DINING SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW

One welcome outcome of this, though, is that many places have also been fashioning parts of their cocktail menus to fit the takeaway model – i.e., poured in bottles or pitchers large enough to fill more than just one glass. Negating the need to order multiple rounds, and aiding the ability to drink in your preferred setting and on your own timeline, it raises the question: Why didn’t this happen sooner?

Adding in wine or beer to a to-go order affords a discount of 25 percent, but let this diverge your attention from the bottled cocktails, which come in 10- and 16-ounce options. There’s a tropical version of a Negroni, throwing in spiced pineapple to the classic Italian tipple, as well as a lemon martini doused with small- batch cranberry liqueur from New Hampshire’s Flag Hill distillery.

Rumba

o end, let’s go back to where sized-up drinks first Tbegan: brunch. Rumba on Shinnecock Bay is a Caribbean restaurant and rum bar that has been peppering the Hamptons with jerk chicken, reggae beats, and strong drinks since 2010. On weekends, it has an extra draw with its Rum Punch Brunch, serving up island-style versions of egg dishes and other early-day delicacies alongside its namesake drink, poured by the gallon. With a back patio overlooking the water, casual clientele, and some of the friendliest service around, it’s the perfect spot to start a day with that slight, pleasant bit of a brunch buzz.

The synth-pop duo from London, which includes George Reid, has had a string of hits since 2012 including "You Know You Like It" with DJ Snake, "White Noise" with Disclosure, and "Hurting" with SG Lewis, touring with the likes of Coldplay, Miguel, and Sia. Aluna goes it alone this month, when her debut solo project, “Renaissance,” releases on August 28. Culminating at a time when people hunger for some relief and escapism, the record is a kaleidoscope of dance music anthems, house, Afrobeat, garage, dancehall, psychedelic, and pop with absolutely no timestamp but the future. When speaking with Hamptons Monthly, the conversation got quite serious but also had moments full of laughter by the end. Aluna talked about standing her ground as a black woman, her need for driving home authenticity when it comes to various sounds and subgenres, and she revealed a humorous chance encounter with Madonna at Governors Ball.
