Marie Eiffel’s Shelter Island boutique
Restaurants
Andrra
“We grew up with Mediterranean influences, [and so we] wanted to bring those flavors of our childhood back [with a] Hamptons twist,” explains Sami Krasniqi, who runs the new eatery alongside his brother, Noti, and partner, Rich Silver. The seafood-oriented menu is rooted in fresh ingredients and many of the dishes are inspired by the Krasniqis’ mother’s personal recipes. 39 Gann Road, East Hampton, 329-3663
The Millers’ Real BBQ Take Out
This barbecue take-out restaurant cooks up authentic Southern-style brisket sandwiches, ribs, and crispy hush puppies, perfect for a picnic on the beach. The tasty creations benefit from techniques owner and executive chef Eric Miller picked up while traveling in the South. 283 Pantigo Road, East Hampton, 329-1000; themillersbbq.net
Nammos Estiatorio
Award-winning executive chef Emmanouil Aslanoglou serves a round selection of Greek-influenced Mediterranean cuisine in the building formerly occupied by Nello Summertimes. The new restaurant shines beyond its entrees: it seconds as a premier nightlife haunt with its exclusive lounge open on Fridays and Saturdays. 136 Main St., Southampton, 287-5500
Zum Schneider
Manhattan’s Zum Schneider is headed to Montauk with one of the few biergarten on the East End. “The main incentive for us is to offer people some really good beer,” says owner Sylvester Schneider. The Hamptons haunt features exclusive imported pours as well as a variety of Long Island and high-end German wines. 4 S. Elmwood Ave., Montauk, 238-5963
Fitness
Barry’s Bootcamp
Barry’s Bootcamp’s first Hamptons location hosts a special rotation of the gym’s all-star trainers and features a fresh Barry’s-Bootcamp-meets- beach design. Like all of Barry’s studios, this outpost promises to sculpt your body through its classes, which mix strength training and cardio work. 352 Montauk Hwy., East Hampton
Galleries & Boutiques
C. Wonder
This playful pop-up boutique stocks a variety of trendy products including bright flip-flops, patterned tableware, and monogrammed beach bags. “Products are fun, whimsical, and full of color—completely at home in one of the chicest seaside communities in the country,” says president Amy Shecter. 5 Main St., Southampton, 287-2645; cwonder.com
Gallery Valentine
Gallery Valentine opens a new, “smaller, more intimate space” in Bridgehampton for curated themed shows, says co-owner Ryan Ross. Although petite, the contemporary gallery features a courtyard for outdoor sculptures and work from both emerging artists and big names such as Andy Warhol and John Chamberlain. 2415 Main St., 329-2100, Bridgehampton
Haute Hippie
Haute Hippie’s first permanent location on the East End showcases the brand’s ethereal clothing line—the chic, casual haute hoodies—and fresh items chosen specifically for the Hamptons. 20 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, 324-5134
Henri Bendel
“The Hamptons visitor is definitely a Henri Bendel girl,” says president Chris Fiore. This “accessory and gifting destination” exclusively carries the Henri Bendel label with fashionable handbags, jewelry, luggage, and picture frames. As an incentive, every Friday for eight weeks, Jitney passengers will receive goodie bags containing a 20 percent off splurge card and products. Walt Whitman Shops, 160 Walt Whitman Road, Huntington Station, 421-2053
Lexington
Kristina Lindhe, one of the founders and the creative director of Lexington, admits that opening in East Hampton is like coming home, even though this is the brand’s first US outpost. The Swedish-born shop, replete with bedding, tableware, and men’s and women’s clothing, borrows from New England style with its fresh, “casual luxury” pieces. 73 Main St., East Hampton, 527-7100
Linde Gallery
This art-gallery-meets-fashion-shop hosted a pop-up for the first time this past summer; now, it has settled into a permanent space.

Marie Eiffel
The original Shelter Island boutique quickly became a destination for sophisticated clothing after launching in 2005. Eiffel opens her second boutique in the same vein; it carries special occasion dresses, summer dresses, and beach cover-ups from Eiffel’s own line as well as those from a wealth of international designers such as Min Agostini and Sofie D’Hoore. 78 Main St., Sag Harbor, 899-4332
Michelle Farmer Collaborate
Unlike her appointment-only outpost in East Hampton, Michelle Farmer’s new, airy Bridgehampton shop allows customers to drop in to view her jewelry as well as her new line of “effortless chic” resort wear. Farmer also carries rare pieces including scarves and ponchos from Manu’ Cashmere, Anika Brazil swimwear, and head-to-toe looks from Whitewash. 2491 Main St., Bridgehampton, 604-1850
MONC XIII
“I don’t restrict myself,” says Natasha Esch, co-owner and veteran interior designer. Esch curates the entire bi-level shop herself and fills the space with “all things home,” be it vintage, antique, utility, or artisanal. 40 Madison St., Sag Harbor, 808-3333; monc13.com
Ruby and Jenna
Eight Ruby and Jenna shops have opened within one year including the latest in Southampton. The boutique, with its ever-changing selection of contemporary pieces, brings colored jeans and flowerprint shorts to adults and teens. 60 Jobs Lane, Southampton, 283-1915
