Weekend: Memorial Day at Meeting House



Foggy morning on Meeting House Lane, Amagansett



I hope that everyone had a happy, sunny, and safe Memorial Day holiday!

I spent my weekend in Amagansett at the house I am a 34th-part-owner of for the summer. One weekend down, 6 more to go. The weekend went by in a flash of waiting in line (lines, lines, and more lines...), Cyril's BBCs and lobster rolls, and hearing "Call Me Maybe" more than a few times.



I am a wee bit of a breakfast connoisseur so I was beyond excited when I saw that our house is walking distance from the Amagansett Farmers Market. They have a make-your-own iced coffee station, beautiful flowers, and killer breakfast sandwiches. I walked to breakfast there both mornings and can see this becoming my summer weekend habit.

Saturday: Iced coffee, oatmeal with granola, Hamptons Cottages and Gardens



While I had the best time this weekend, and am excited about more to come, I feel a sense of dichotomy about weekends like this. Location, lifestyle, choices... I was daydreaming while walking to breakfast Saturday about the alternative... Waking up feeling 100% rested, no-dull aches from sleeping on the floor or anxiety-ridden hangovers to battle. The only conclusion I can reach is this will be a summer of wanting "both/ and". I am not ready to give up it up, but I want more at the same time.



Frat beach? Not quite the original (St. Simons) but it worked!



I came back to the city Sunday night to beat the rush and meet a good friend who was visiting for brunch on Monday. We got to catch up, split a prosciutto sandwich, and have a cupcake for dessert then went off to enjoy the rest of the Mem Day scorcher in NYC.

Going to Foster the People tonight in Central Park. Happy Tuesday to all!




I found these little ditties on my way home from brunch.
