So despise that whole "Hamptons" tag.
We're individual towns, not some conglomeration, as much as those who buy in, try to make it.
Just sayin'.
You can have any poll or vote you want to, any LOCAL person will tell you Montauk is NOT part of "the Hamptons" nor will it ever be, REGARDLESS of who opens a seasonal business or who comes out here.
There is no such thing as "the Hamptons" and only the clueless tender young think there is.
There are several towns with the syllables in their names, c'est tout.
There is a state of mind called "The Hamptons", however, and it is one worthy of heaps of scorn.
And your expert is also clueless.
Jacqueline BOuvier grew up in East Hampton and frolicked at the Maidstone when I too was a child and that was long before the 1950s.
That was the end of chic there.
Not the beginning.
All that followed is Gwathmey to me.
