This week's Trip Pick is East Hampton, a beachside town out on Long Island with a strong sense of local community - meaning there's lots going on even in the off season.
Not only are most of East Hampton's restaurants and shops open throughout the year, but there's also a goodly number of events like gallery openings and karaoke nights that happen on winter weekends. And maybe we love 30 Rock a little too much, but 8 bucks to attend a screening and discussion with Alec Baldwin (and Scorcese) sounds like an off-season bargain (see below).
Keep reading for our other tips on what to do and how to make the most of your trip should you decide to head out to East Hampton anytime soon. And if you've got any suggestions, let us know what we missed!
