East Hampton Village beach parking permits, available for free to those who live or own property in the village, will be offered for sale to East Hampton Town residents who live or own outside of village boundaries on Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., a week before they go on sale to the general public.

The in-person sale at the Emergency Services Building on Cedar Street also comes with a reduced price of $500 for the permits, which allow for parking from May 15 to Sept. 15 at beaches from Georgica in the west to Two Mile Hollow in the east.

There will be 1,500 available on Tuesday. Permit applications, which spell out the documentation required for the town-resident discount, are online at easthamptonvillage.org.

When the remaining 1,500 nonresident permits go on sale on Feb. 1 online or in person at Village Hall, they will cost $750.

There, black-capped chickadees and tufted titmice, for better or worse, have been trained to accept seeds from human hands. On Saturday, however, 15 people showed up instead to rip invasive plants out of the ground.

Item of the Week: Wild Times at Jungle Pete’s

That’s where Jungle Pete’s once stood, an eatery and watering hole that served countless Springs residents, including the Abstract Expressionist painter Jackson Pollock.

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.
