Hey, hey! It’s the June 2024 issue of Southforker! (Photo credit: Doug Young)
Happy June, Southforkers! Our June issue just hit stands and, wow, have we got a lot of fun in store for you. Staff lifestyle reporter Emily Toy and I took a little breather to sit back and reminisce on all the things we covered this month for you — and it’s a lot!

Take a listen to our chat about, with shout-outs to Shippy’s, Hidden Gem (hey, hey, cover girls!), Sam’s, Stephen Talkhouse (Nicholas Grasso, what a swan song that was — we will MISS YOU!), Kyle Fengler of Bridgehampton Kitchen, Shark Bar, Julia King, Nancy Atlas, chef Melissa O’Donnell and so much more.
We hope to see you all in a couple of weeks at our 2nd annual Southforker Taste of Westhampton Beach on June 15 on the Great Lawn (grab your tickets here while you can!) and take a listen (thanks, Christian Guiets, for the great pod editing) to our rollicking report on all-things June.
See you out and about, Southforkers!
