East Hampton
is the trendiest of the Hamptons, filled with the mansions of celebrities like Steven Spielberg, Jerry Seinfeld and Martha Stewart, as well as obnoxiously chic shops and restaurants. However if you're there, it's worth driving or biking around
Further Lane, Lily Pond
and some of the other exclusive neighborhoods just to catch sight of some of the spectacular (and just plain beautiful) homes.
Amagansett
is a village within East Hampton and, though crowded in the summer, tends to be more down to earth than the rest of town. Note the old shingle homes along quiet leafy side streets and enjoy the lively weekend scene (and fresh muffins) at
Farmer's Market
on Main Street and the partying at
Stephen Talkhouse
at no. 161, a terrific bar and music joint that gets well-known folk, jazz and rock performers year-round (tel 631/267-3117).
