The East End Dig

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

No. 9 · Week of August 25 – August 31, 2026

Morning, East End. We watched the 19th Annual Great Tomato Taste-Off at Birch Hill in Amagansett on Saturday. Forty-four varieties from Quail Hill Farm passed across plates and opinions like it was sport. People took this very seriously. We took notes. To the sheet.

251 filings hit the public record this week. 251 in Southampton. Hampton Bays led again, 46 filings.

4 filings mention hot tub this week. The amenities race continues.
