Beat the Winter Blues With Trivia, Karaoke, Music, and More

Thu, 02/22/2024 - 14:40

Bored? We thought so. Here are some ideas to kick the winter blues.

In Amagansett, the Stephen Talkhouse will host the 16th annual Cabin Fever Festival on Saturday night, starting at 7. There will be music from the Realm and Project Vibe, which is celebrating the release of its latest album, at what is billed as "the biggest party of the winter." Admission is $20 at the door.

Kizzy's Tavern — also called Kizzy T.'s and locatable as the roadside tavern on the highway where Bamboo and Zok-Kon used to be — has been offering weekly evening events to help customers keep their spirits up through the doldrum months. Trivia sessions are every Sunday at 7 and karaoke is Thursdays at 8. There are also foosball, darts, billiards, and other games to be enjoyed alongside the burgers, sandwiches, and beer.

There's also karaoke at Almond, in Bridgehampton, on Saturdays starting at 9 p.m. with D.J. Carlos Lama running the show. 

Over at the Clubhouse in Wainscott, in addition to bowling, billiards, live music, and arcade games, there's a Bob Ross-inspired paint-and-sip session on Thursdays and line-dancing on Saturdays, both starting at 7 p.m.

East Hampton’s Mulford Farm in ‘Digital Tapestry’

Hugh King, the East Hampton Town historian, is more at ease sharing interesting tidbits from, say, the 1829 town trustees minutes than he is with augmented reality or the notion of a digital avatar. But despite himself, he came face to face with both earlier this week at the Mulford Farm, where the East Hampton Historical Society is putting his likeness to work to tell the story of the role the farm’s owner, Col. David Mulford, played in the leadup to the 1776 Battle of Long Island, and of his fate during the region’s subsequent occupation by the British.
