The Springs Food Pantry’s annual Chowdah Chowdown fund-raiser will happen under a tent at Ashawagh Hall on Saturday from noon to 3.

Tickets are $50 and include unlimited samples of chowder — New England clam, Manhattan clam, crab and corn, fish, and others — as well as wine from Channing Daughters Winery, draft beer from Springs Brewery, and to-go containers.

Participating eateries this year include the 1770 House, Bonfire Coffeehouse, Bostwick's Seafood, Christian's by Wolffer Estate, the Clam Bar, Doubles, Rosie's, and the Springs Tavern and Grill. Chefs, including Peter Ambrose, Jeremy Blutstein of Mavericks Montauk, Derek Freedman, and Carolyn Stec of Sen, will cook up pots of chowder, and there will also be steaming pots of briny delight by the Cookery, East End Food, the Amagansett Seafood Store, the Honest Man restaurant group, Silverspoon Specialties, and the personnel of the Coast Guard Station Shinnecock. 

Along with the unlimited chowder, ticket holders can take home a container of their favorite at the end of the feast. Tickets are available on the food pantry's website.

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.
