Live acoustic sets and guest DJs kick off July 4, and the party continues well into early fall. Whether you’re stopping by for fresh oysters and sunset sips or catching a set under the stars, Old Stove Pub is serving up summer the way it was meant to be.
Located on Montauk Highway in Sagaponack, the restaurant is open year-round for dinner and weekend brunch.
Hampton Coffee Company Debuts Student-Designed Cups for Summer 2025
Hampton Coffee Company is once again putting local creativity front and center with the return of its annual student-designed coffee cup program.

Led by HCC’s marketing manager, Edythe Collins, and Westhampton Beach teacher Amy Demchak-Connell, the project challenges students to design a medium hot cup that reflects both the spirit of Hampton Coffee and the local community.
The final three designs were professionally printed and are now in rotation at all seven Hampton Coffee Company locations, while supplies last.
