Anyone else notice the days are getting, slowly but surely, longer?
The nearly-six-week-long January is finally behind us and we’re into a whole new month with a whole new vibe. This weekend, several Hamptons locales are gearing up to showcase their love for.the shortest month of the year, whether it’s through Valentine’s Day festivities, jazz musical performances or a student art exhibition or simply a guided session on how to properly pitch ideas for that new novel you’re finally getting to.
Also, don’t forget to hit up HarborFrost in Sag Harbor this Saturday. Because if we’re going to be walking in this cold-as-ice winter wonderland, there should be something tasty nearby.
