Alec Baldwin, the Emmy Award-winning actor, and Bill McCuddy, a comedian and NPR/PBS podcast host, will be having dinner at Almond restaurant in Bridgehampton on March 13, and a lucky group of people will be able to join them while at the same time supporting a worthy cause.

The Hampton Library in Bridgehampton has organized “Dinner and Conversation With Alec Baldwin and Bill McCuddy” as a benefit for its capital campaign for interior renovations, titled “Preserving the Past, Embracing the Future.”

Doors will open at 6 for cocktails and wine, after which Jason Weiner, Almond’s executive chef and co-owner, will present a sit-down three-course dinner with wine pairings. The evening will include a conversation between Mr. Baldwin and Mr. McCuddy.

Of the capital campaign, whose committee chairman is Eric Lemonides, Almond’s other co-owner, Lisa Michne, the library’s executive director, said, “We have an exciting opportunity to update our much-loved library to better serve everyone in our community. With a mission to provide equitable service for all, we are challenged to refurbish parts of the facility to meet the needs of all members as a significant informational, educational, and cultural resource. Join us!”

Tickets, which are $400, must be bought in advance at eventbrite.com, the library’s website, or by calling 631-537-0015.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
