The East Hampton Historical Farm Museum at the corner of North Main and Cedar Streets has invited Santa for a visit and photo opportunities on Thursday evening from 4 to 6.
There will also be caroling, children’s activities, hot chocolate, and soft pretzels at the property, which will be decorated with holiday lights for the occasion. There is no charge to attend, but donations will help to support the museum’s various activities.
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.
Reports of electrical outages from Montauk to Wainscott, and all the way up through Shelter Island and the North Fork, rolled in on Thursday beginning shortly after 10 a.m.
