16 Late Summer Dining Spots in the Hamptons

"Julian Medina and partner Meghan Manzi expanded to the Hamptons this summer with the opening of this high-end Mexican restaurant a prime corner in Southampton. Among dishes, local greens with jicama and almonds are drizzled with an avocado mint dressing; lobster is wrapped in a homemade corn tortilla and dressed with a peanut salsa; and Long Island duck is slow roasted with a tamarind-chocolate habanero glaze and served with lettuce cups.  There are lots of margaritas to accompany the food, including one with mezcal served in a pineapple; and a version with rose, strawberries, and cherries." - Beth Landman
