Corsino

Oh Corsino! B was so looking forward to dining here ever since she walked passed it one March afternoon. It looked like such a great place to eat & it's sister restaurant Inoteca is delicious. A few weeks ago she went to dinner with her girlfriends JC, JP, & KB...they all walked away disappointed.

To start we ordered a few crostinis: ricotta & orange honey, cannellini bean & artichokes, and olive tapenade. We also ordered a formaggi platter (pic to the left) with cow's milk ricotta, parmigiano reggiano & fontina val d'aosta.

Entrees:

Heritage Brisket Meatballs

Chicken Piccata w/cippolini & cauliflower

Linguini w/cockles, hot peppers & oregano

Tagliatelle w/lamb

The olive tapenade was very disappointing considering it tasted like anchovies, but the ricotta & orange honey is a must. The sweet honey with the cheese is the perfect mix. Our cheese platter wasn't disappointing...it's cheese, who doesn't love cheese! On the other hand the entrees weren't the best. B's meatballs were too salty, hard, too much pepper, they just weren't like Savanna's, sorry. JP's chicken piccata was actually delicious, order this if you go. Both the pasta dishes were too buttery and missing in flavor. KB reviewed it herself: "my dish was good the lamb was well cooked however, I felt the radicchio was an unnecessary accompaniment and didn't add anything to the dish but a bitter flavor."

Corsino - night outdoor seating, good wines & cheeses, not like it's sister restaurant Inoteca

Day&Night Party - East Hampton

A summer must...Day&Night Party @ East Hampton Point. Derek and Daniel Koch, the twins, moved their famous day party to the Hamptons for the summer. It's the hottest spot to party during the day.

Everyone in attendance is hot and ready to party. It starts off as a normal brunch place overlooking the water. Everyone is eating their salads, oysters, eggs, etc etc. 3pm comes around and it's a whole different story. The music starts pumping, rose' starts flowing, and champagne bottles are popped.

This past weekend was so much fun. It was Celebrity blogger Micah Jesse and our friend Dani's birthday. We arrived at 4pm after getting lost, ooops! As soon as we walked in the door, W was greeted by DJ Cassidy & Micah who quickly started jumping up & down and blowing his whistle. We gravitated towards Dani's table where we were poured rose' out of a 3/4 empty magnum. After 3 glasses, B accidentally knocked a glass of rose' all over herself, oh well...patron swig right out of the bottle was required to forget about her damp dress. Next...champagne for everyone at the party!!! We sipped on champagne & watched the other tables get crazy. As Stereo Love & Memories were played more champagne was popped and everyone started to dance like crazy. Our friend Dani ordered Cristal to end our brunch party...yum! It was the perfect way to start the day!!!

Definitely recommend going to Day&Night if you're in the Hamptons. Make reservations and get ready to have a blast. GiltCity currently has a kick ass deal, check it out. Read this article if you're still not sure how fun this spot is.

Sunset Beach, Shelter Island, NY

Sunset Beach! Just gorgeous! Located 100 miles east from NYC, it is the perfect place to sip rosé, people watch, and enjoy the breeze from the water.

A quick drive from our Hampton's house and fun 5minute ferry ride, it is definitely worth going.

July 4th was definitely a scene. Everyone B knew was there popping bottles of André Balazs Signature Rosé, it was delicious especially after 3 bottles, enjoying the delicious food, and socializing. The boardwalk was packed with beautiful people looking for a good time. The beach, a little rocky, consisted of girls in bikinis, bottles of Moet & Rosé, and men smoking cigars.

The sunset was absolutely amazing.
