Mark and Lynn dash into Grindstone Coffee and Donuts...

 When we recently checked out Grindstone Coffee and Donuts in Sag Harbor the place seemed as busy as it was during the height of summer when it first opened (in early August) and we had first noticed it.   Lynn and I have checked in there to get a pick me up shot of coffee and/or espresso.  The coffee is strong and black as ink with the espresso having a nice chicory flavor. We have not tried the donuts yet (which make the store smell divine)but with summer over and beach body anxiety on hold for a bit we will certainly "cave" soon enough. 

Grey Goose Martini at the US Open....

I (Mark) went into the US Open and had a nicely made dirty martini with the signature Grey Goose Vodka of the tournament at Toro's Pop up. 

Wolffer Kitchen is a sexy spot for Lunch in Sag Harbor....

Lynn and I happened upon Wolffer Kitchen as a sort of accident when all of the restaaraunts in Sag Harbor were slammed on Labor Day weekend.  Wolffer Kitchen is the culinary satilite of nearby Wolffer Vineyards and first winery owned restaurant in the Hamptons. We were immediately struck by the sleek yet cozy nature of the place.  The restaurant has an inherent ambiance that is particularly sexy and sophisticated for a lunch spot on the East End of Long Island.

We have been there a couple of times and have enjoyed sitting at the bar as our servers and bartenders are attentive and amiable.  I have favored the local Wolfer Rose (with grapes from Argentina) and
Lynn has gravitated to the Truffle Fries which are crusty, garlicky goodness.  I have enjoyed the Tuna Tartare which has just the right amount of flavor and is served ice cold. 

Lynn had "The Beekeeper" which is a refreshing blend of Vodka, Lavendar, honey, citrus and crystalized ginger garnish.  With it's combination of sweetness and sting it is is rapidly becoming her favorite cocktail.
