For Montauk resident Paul Brooke, the world really is his oyster. Earlier this spring, Brooke officially launched his Montauk Wild Oysters Co. (PO Box 1318, Montauk, 631-682-9383) with the intent of bringing the fun and knowledge of oysters, including tutorials on how to shuck them, to the masses. A lover of all things nautical, Brooke was born and raised on Long Island, growing up alongside family members who worked as commercial fishermen in Montauk.

One of the surest signs of spring isn’t the longer days or tulips cropping up. It’s the influx of announcements that Hamptons restaurants are opening for the season. The news brings the promise of days spent eating seafood or pizza and sipping rosé or an IPA with friends and family, perhaps by the water or at a restaurant that’s as casual (or not) as you want.

What’s old is new. We see it over and over in the Hamptons, especially during the summer — businesses that get a re-fresh or entirely new owners; styles that come back after decades of dormancy; and, certainly behind the bar. Last year, you may have noticed the Lemon Drop popping up on menus here and there. This year, you’re likely to see it some more. This citrusy sour was invented in the ’70s by bartender Norman Hobday, owner of Henry Africa in San Francisco.

Of all the breakfast foods in all the world, there probably isn’t one more synonymous with New York than the breakfast sandwich. Here in the Hamptons, a bacon egg and cheese (aka the BEC), or some variation of it, is a staple at nearly every deli, bagel shop or bodega-like locale, and is almost always the go-to option, especially for when you’re on the go. Ready in a New York minute, these Hamptons and Shelter Island breakfast sandwiches are a cut (of crispy bacon) above the rest.
