Healthy hand cut oatmeal w/ fresh fruit in the Gideon Putnam. Yum!

The fabulous Gideon Putnam Hotel in Saratoga Springs.

Nick and Toni’s is delightful in November. Nick and Toni’s during Restaurant Week in November is doubly delightful. We sampled their prix fixe menu last weekend. I had the beef short ribs wile Lauren had the fluke. Both were wonderful. Had dosas for lunch the next day at Hampton Chutney in Amagansett. Had the deluxe Masala. Delicious!

It was warm enough that i was able to take a bike ride out to Napeague Bay Saturday. Beautiful, quiet, not a soul around.

Here's Lauren waiting for the LIRR train back to Penn Station on Sunday.

Bostwick’s is the best place for fresh, inexpensive seafood in the East End.
