"hamptons" news and stories

Tate's Bake Shop is a Hamptons-based company who makes cookies, brownies, cakes, and squares.

That's right. Squares. That's how quaint they are.

Inside Kathleen King's adorable yellow and turquoise Victorian-style shop in Southampton, sweet smells, smiling faces, and flowers abound. King grew up on a farm near Southampton and sold cookies from the age of 11 at her family's farm stand.

Tate's Bake Shop has a loyal following across the country. Their secret is in their simplicity. Quality products, nicely packaged, and as my friend Lora says: "By rich people, for rich people."

You can order the delicious cookies and other baked goods online here, for a wonderfully classy host gift or party favor for the holiday season.

Anthony, AKA the Hungry Barbarian, has come up with a wager. He must survive outside for a week on nothing but what he can catch and kill - fish, crab, squirrel, earthworms - or snag from nearby farms (presumably without the farmer's knowledge). He will have water, matches, a tent, a hose and a fishing pole. If he can do it, he'll win the money from the betting pool his friends have started.

The big gimmick is this: these survivalist shenanigans will go down not in some remote national park, but in the Hamptons, the Long Island bastion of NYC elites. His neighbors will be sipping champagne on the lawn as the Hungry Barbarian forages for edible berries in their well-landscaped bushes.

Seven days without food is easily survivable (so long as one has water), but the idea of eating earthworms and skinning squirrels is pretty funny. I'm sure hijinks will ensue.
