The party’s off at “Hamptons House,” an almost monthlong series of events that Gilt City planned to stage at a private home on Fithian Lane in East Hampton Village. Poolside cocktails, yoga and fitness sessions, cooking classes, dinners and brunches, film screenings and trunk shows were among the happenings lined up.

“We worked in collaboration with the village to resolve this situation,” Jaime David, Gilt City’s senior manager for public relations and events, said Tuesday afternoon. “The private events are not going to be cancelled but will be taking place elsewhere.”

“They have advised us in writing that they have abandoned all plans to host any events at the house,” Larry Cantwell, the East Hampton Village administrator, said Tuesday after some last-minute saber-rattling between the village and Gilt City.

So who is named in the lawsuit - Walter Patrick,
Gilt City, or both? Come on Press publisher/editors. . . you can do it!!! Just a LITTLE more . . . and was the East Hampton Food Pantry aware of this . . . what do they have to say about it? It may be "Good job Larry" - for obvious reasons ... but it looks to me like it's "Bad Job Press" for not digging or going beyond the obvious . . . just sayin.

sometimes there's an advantage to having cranky old men running the village.. but just sometimes.

I guess this means everyone should cancel their Tupperware parties now.

Who is the realtor involved? Didnt the people at Gilt tell them what they wanted to do? Somehow I dont think that they snuck in. These event houses ruin it for the surrounding neighbors all for profit. Wheather its a share house or a corporate house, it comes at the expense of the neighbors. Good going EHV other towns need the same fast action.
