Entertaining in The Hamptons
Summer is here and events are back! Whether you’re planning an impromptu dinner party, milestone celebration or wedding - I’m sharing a few of my preferred venues in The Hamptons for your next gathering.

Upon arriving at Tutto Il Giorno, you’re immediately transported to the Italian Riviera. No detail is spared at Donna Karan’s fabulous restaurant with locations in both Sag Harbor and Southampton.
