Some Hamptons Restaurants Are Seeing An Uptick in Sales With Outdoor Dining | Eater NY

"At the waterfront on the North Fork, Halyard — a hotel restaurant that typically relies on weddings and large catered events — was hard hit by the pandemic; it began selling off all its food and essentially operated as a grocery store until it closed in April. The restaurant reopened after Memorial Day, and although June was slow, business picked up by July when chef Stephan Bogardus reports they did 800 more covers than the year before as some New Yorkers who decamped to eastern Long Island felt safe to venture out again." - Beth Landman
