"A haven of ready-to-eat picnic foods (don’t miss the cold fried chicken, really) and specialty groceries, Loaves and Fishes Foodstore is an essential stop for any food lover in The Hamptons. The small roadside cottage full of treats is as close to Ina’s original East Hampton shop, Barefoot Contessa, as you’ll get these days. In fact, one of her employees, Anna Pump, started this store that her daughter and granddaughter now own. “If you’re coming to the Hamptons, treat yourself to a slice of cake at Loaves & Fishes,” Ina suggested on Instagram. If you insist, Ina! Various flavors of cake are sold daily by the slice or whole, as are plentiful pastries, ready-to-heat fridge meals, cheeses, and so much more. A few picnic benches outside allow visitors to nosh on-site." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
