The East End Dig

Digging up what’s being built, from Westhampton to Montauk.

No. 10 · Week of September 1 – September 7, 2026

Morning, East End. As of Thursday afternoon seats were still available to see Gail Levin, an art historian and author, talk about Alice Baber at the John Jermain. Quiet crowd, which is to say less elbowing and more real talking. Bring a friend or come alone and linger. To the sheet.

269 filings hit the public record this week. 214 in Southampton and 55 in East Hampton. Hampton Bays led again, 42 filings.

9 teardowns this week and 4 of them in North Sea. Keep an eye on that block.

Someone in Sag Harbor is demolishing a bocce court. We have questions.
