What happened

Another Hamptons season is here and it smells good.

Why it matters

Across the East End, restaurants — both casual and clubby — are making their summer debuts and adding flavor to the long established mix of restaurants, cafes and bars that are the South Fork’s social hubs.

Common ground

Dig into a “Mac Attack” burger with a “cotton candy” shake, channel French vibe dining with the “the spirit of Saint-Tropez” and then redeem yourself with a “Miracle” or two.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
