Weekend Agenda: The "It's Almost Over" Edition
Friday, August 24, 2007

Even typing those words hurts. But we need to suck it up and face facts. We've got two weekends to work with here, so as a public service to our readers were going to give you a few tips to maximize your last few hours in the sun.

The view from the Montauket

The Fish Farm: Dog breeding meets geese meets seafood. This spot is not for the squeamish or those looking for fine dining and tablecloths. But if you don't mind wading through a muddy or teo, then the Fish Farm (properly, The Multi Aquacultural Systems) is the spot for some super fresh fish. Order at the little take out window, grab a picnic table down by the water, watch the sunset as you tuck into some steamers. And FYI it's BYOB. (429 Cranberry Hole Rd, Amagansett, 631-267-3341)

Montauket: Yes, you could stand in a huge crowd that spills into Montauk Hwy. at Cyril's, but there's no better spot in the Hamptons to catch a sunset than at the Montauket. Sitting on a cliff, high above Navy Pond, and facing east, this is the spot to bring a lady and make her very impressed with your local knowledge. and the margaritas are wicked. (88 Firestone Rd, Montauk, 631-668-5992)

Ram's Head Inn: Joanne Starkey puts it pretty much perfectly: "The quintessence of romantic, far from the crowd dining is at the Ram's Head Inn on Shelter Island. Picture a cooling ferry-boat ride, a drive along sleepy, country lanes, a sighting of ospreys on their highly perched nests and a lovely inn offering water views and good meals at the end of the journey." (108 Ram Island Dr, Shelter Island Heights, 631-749-0811)
