Welcome back to my Hamptons blog series! In this exciting installment, join me as I recount fabulous moments from a girls’ weekend in the charming oasis of Montauk.
Our weekend kicked off on a tasteful note at renowned Wolffer Winery. The weather may have been overcast, but it was the perfect backdrop for a delightful winetasting experience.
Dinnertime led us to Crows Nest, a dining haven that perfectly blends elegance with a laid-back beach vibe. Our evening began at the outdoor bar, offering a panoramic view of tranquil Lake Montauk. Cocktails flowed, and my personal favorite, the refreshing watermelon cooler, added a burst of summer to our day. As the sun started to set, we moved indoors to eat dinner in the dining room. My choice, the lobster fettuccine, was an absolute treat!
With the night still young, we met up with friends and headed to Gurney’s Fire Pit, an atmospheric outdoor lounge overlooking the ocean, where we danced the night away.
The following day we made our way to New York Pilates, where we enjoyed a workout session that left us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Fueled by a sense of accomplishment, we rewarded ourselves with coffee and set off on a shopping spree through Montauk’s charming streets. Among the boutiques that stole our hearts were Wyld Blue, Bontemps and Montauk Dazies — each offering a unique array of treasures.
After spending the rest of our Saturday lounging by the pool, our gastronomic adventure continued at Talya, the new Mediterranean restaurant once occupied by Ruschmeyers. As the evening unfolded, the restaurant transformed into a vibrant nightlife scene where we stayed after dinner until we went back to our Airbnb.
Regrettably, Sunday brought rain to our idyllic weekend. Nevertheless, we seized the moment and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at Sant Ambroeus in East Hampton. It was the perfect conclusion to our Montauk girls’ escapade.

In many cases, less can be more in terms of what smaller cities and small-scale museums have to offer. This is true for Fukui Prefecture, located on the west coast of the main island and best known for its coastline, terrain and quiet towns. While major cities are awash with large-scale museums, bucolic Fukui Prefecture is worth a visit for its assemblage of institutions offering a deeper dive into Japanese life, history and culture.

Come Face-to-Face with Mountain Gorillas on a Trek in Uganda
Not a word was spoken as I settled into a cozy spot on the outdoor terrace just outside the main lodge at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge in Uganda. The air was so still the ice in my single malt seemed to echo off the forest in the distance as it clanked against the glass. I sat among a handful of fellow adventurers, each sitting silently beneath the night sky for one collective goal. Moments earlier, we learned a troop of mountain gorillas had made their way down the mountain near our lodge, and we left our meals to instead sit in eager anticipation of hearing the guttural grunts of the primates below. The chills on my arms never left me that night, even as I made my way up a stone pathway to my personal banda (guestroom). Thankfully, sleep came quickly for me that night as I drifted into dreams of what my next day would bring.
