Baron’s Cove
Sag Harbor

A Sag Harbor fixture, Baron’s Cove celebrates its 65th year this summer with a brand new menu. In homage to its illustrious literary clientele, the team has introduced a new cocktail, the “Jack Rose,” so you can sip like John Steinbeck, who reportedly enjoyed one or many of these sweet-and-tart tipples when he frequented the bar from the late 1950s to the mid-’60s.

Decades 
Sag Harbor
Through September 4

Returning to Sage & Madison for its second East End summer residency is the renowned Los Angeles vintage retailer Decades. Peerless pieces from labels like Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Hermès, and Valentino will be on offer, and this
year they’re also hosting weekly pop-up boutiques featuring Etro, Jean Paul Gaultier, Jil Sander, Marni, and more.
