A Great ShowThe editorial urging us to support Westhampton Beach shops this year, as they tear up Main Street, was terrific [“Go Shop There,” Editorial, September 26]! Visitors will not be disappointed. My family and I, in the past, have found surprising treasures and amazing things to do there, completely affordable.
For instance, entertainment. Two sources for latest movies: the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center film series, or quirky Hampton Arts Cinema. Tickets priced as low as $7.
When hungry, choose from gourmet restaurants to pizza to hamburger cafes. Shop in Best Market for fresh produce and great meat. Ample parking. Have fun browsing the art, furniture, books and housewares at the East End Hospice Thrift Shop — the staff is friendly and helpful, and all proceeds go to the Kanas Center and Camp Good Grief for children.
So, discover Westhampton Beach. Take the kids, or dogs, downtown to watch a compelling demolition show. Go into Beach Bakery and get your delicious snack — no lines, no waiting, and a fine latte. Relax on a bench. Dig it up, move it around, zoom, zoom.

If the success of a mayor’s term were judged by turnover in key positions, ousted Southampton Village Mayor Jesse Warren would have a statue outside Village Hall. Of course, excessive turnover is neither a sign of success nor civic health...
I owe a debt of gratitude to Ray D’Angelo, the president of the Hampton Bays Civic Association, for his recent letter [“Advocate & Adjudicate?” Letters, April 25] establishing that he has, as I pointed out almost a month ago, “a...
I am profoundly disappointed in the news that Fred Thiele, the retiring state assemblyman, has dipped into the Community Preservation Fund for $2 million to rehabilitate the condemned windmill at the former Southampton College [“State Budget Authorizes Southampton Town To...
Last Friday afternoon, I was walking on Hill Street with my dog, Jada, when I tripped and had a bad fall. Two ladies saw my fall, stopped their car, helped me up, ushered Jada and me into their car, and...
I’ve been pondering how to live with both the geopoltical reality of the conflict in Israel over the war to exterminate a virulent terrorist organization, Hamas, and the upwelling of campus unrest in New York City and the nation at...
Another homicide at another Concern for Independent Living “supportive housing” complex, this time in Brooklyn, happened in February: One Concern resident murdered another. A previous crime in Melville involved police officers on call being stabbed and killing the knife-wielder. Yet,...
