Here at southforker, we are so stoked about launching our first print issue (with the second hitting stands soon!) and all the great storytelling and content we’ve been bringing you since we kicked things off last November, that we think it’s time to celebrate. Celebrate southforker, celebrate the South Fork and celebrate all of you for being part of our first steps into the world. Huzzah!
Come on down to the Great Lawn in Westhampton Beach this Saturday, June 17, and clink a glass with us for our first ever shindig to usher in the summer 2023 season at the Taste of Westhampton Beach!
From 6 to 10 p.m., you’ll be treated to delicious bites from some of our favorite spectacular local restaurants and purveyors, sips from local wineries and breweries, as well as spirits from far-flung lands, along with the funky sounds of In the Groove to get those dancing feet moving (like you know they want to).
Participating purveyors are:
103 Bambinos Pizzeria
Art of Eating
Corner Café & Restaurant
Cuisine by Colleen
Fauna
Flora
Grace & Grit
Hampton Coffee
Insatiable Eats
Justin’s Chop Shop
La Volpe Restaurant

Sate your thirst with local craft beer from Westhampton Beach Brewing, Twin Forks Beer, Kidd Squid and Übergeek, along with some further afield hoppy action from Blue Moon and Modelo, plus grape crusadors Macari Wine, Pellegrini Vineyards, Sannino Vineyard, Castello di Borghese and Single Married Divorced sparkling wine! Special pours and cocktails from Campari America’s portfolio round out the spirited options, too.
It’ll be a party to remember — but tickets are dwindling quickly. Get yours here and let’s celebrate the season together!
