Beat the Winter Blues With Trivia, Karaoke, Music, and More

Thu, 02/22/2024 - 14:40

Bored? We thought so. Here are some ideas to kick the winter blues.

In Amagansett, the Stephen Talkhouse will host the 16th annual Cabin Fever Festival on Saturday night, starting at 7. There will be music from the Realm and Project Vibe, which is celebrating the release of its latest album, at what is billed as "the biggest party of the winter." Admission is $20 at the door.

Kizzy's Tavern — also called Kizzy T.'s and locatable as the roadside tavern on the highway where Bamboo and Zok-Kon used to be — has been offering weekly evening events to help customers keep their spirits up through the doldrum months. Trivia sessions are every Sunday at 7 and karaoke is Thursdays at 8. There are also foosball, darts, billiards, and other games to be enjoyed alongside the burgers, sandwiches, and beer.

There's also karaoke at Almond, in Bridgehampton, on Saturdays starting at 9 p.m. with D.J. Carlos Lama running the show. 

Over at the Clubhouse in Wainscott, in addition to bowling, billiards, live music, and arcade games, there's a Bob Ross-inspired paint-and-sip session on Thursdays and line-dancing on Saturdays, both starting at 7 p.m.

Time to Strip, Dip, Freeze

Polar plunges at Main Beach in East Hampton and Beach Lane in Wainscott on New Year’s Day accomplish many things: bracing and exhilarating starts to the year, the company of many hundreds of friends and fellow townspeople, and a chance to secure bragging rights that extend well into 2026. But most important, each serves as a critical fund-raiser for food pantries.

Support Where It’s Most Needed

Soon after moving to Water Mill with her family in 2015, Marit Molin became aware of a largely unacknowledged population underpinning the complicated Hamptons economy. That led her to create Hamptons Community Outreach, which is dedicated to meeting basic critical needs to help break cycles of poverty.

Item of the Week: From Mary Nimmo Moran, Christmas 1898

This etching by Mary Nimmo Moran shows what was likely the view from her home across Town Pond, with the Gardiner Mill in the background, a favorite landscape for her.
