Four historic inns in East Hampton Village and three more in Amagansett will be decorated for the holidays and open to visitors on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. during a self-guided tour sponsored by the Greater East Hampton Chamber of Commerce. Each will have “festive beverages and holiday treats,” the chamber promises. In East Hampton, the Baker House 1650, the Maidstone, the 1770 House, and the Huntting Inn are on the tour. In Amagansett, the merriment will happen at 434 on Main, the Roundtree, and the Reform Club. 

Historic properties in the village including the Moran Studio, the Dominy Shops Museum, Clinton Academy, and Home, Sweet Home will also be participating in the tour from 1 to 4 p.m. Restaurants will have specials from noon to 4. Those who visit the properties and collect vouchers can get deals at a handful of restaurants: $1 oysters at the bar at Il Buco in Amagansett, $11 pizzas for kids and $11 spicy margaritas for adults at Moby’s in East Hampton, and 20 percent off lunch in the dining room at Rowdy Hall in Amagansett. 

Next Thursday, the chamber will host a holiday party at the Baker House from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., with light bites from LDV at the Maidstone, cocktails from Montaukila, and other drinks from Wainscott Main Wine and Spirits. The party is free for members of the chamber, and $20 for everyone else.

Rowdy Hall (the House) Is on a Roll

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.
