Long before the name “Rowdy Hall” was adopted by a popular East Hampton Village bar and eatery (now in Amagansett), it was a boarding house: Mrs. Harry Hamlin’s Rowdy Hall. The building, now a single-family house, still stands at 111 Egypt Lane, although currently it’s floating, suspended six feet above a hole. When it’s lowered again, it will be on a new foundation.
Spiro Stavropoulos opened the Candy Kitchen on May 2, 1925. Thus, the year 2025 marks a whole century in business for the restaurant, owned since 1981 by Gus Laggis and managed day to day by his daughters, Jamie Laggis and Maria Laggis Lima, and son-in-law, Mauricio Lima.
