Wait, were you—did you want to get out to the Hamptons this year? Why didn’t you say so? We would have just told you about all the new spots to hit this year. All right, fine, if you’re going to twist our arm. Here they are.

SOUTHAMPTON

Circo

Was: Delmonico’s. You know that one.
Is now: A more laid-back version of Midtown’s Circo. Expect more seafood but presumably the same amount of clowns dancing on the walls. Which seem so much more appropriate here.

SOUTHAMPTON

Beautique

Was: BLT and Nobu. Damn.
Is now: All the côte-de-boeuf-for-twos, cocktails and general dignified decadence of the Beautique in Midtown, but with an ocean right outside.

MONTAUK

Ruschmeyer’s Restaurant

Was: Same name, totally different place.
Is now: A place where some guys from the Smile and some brothers from the Cleveland and Mile End, respectively, do a lot of local edible stuff from the ocean and some Middle Eastern food for you.

EAST HAMPTON

Momi Ramen

Was: Turtle Crossing, a BBQ joint whose time had come.
Is now: An import from that faraway pork-ramen mecca, Miami. They make their own noodles fresh every day—so, okay, maybe Miami’s onto something.

EAST HAMPTON

Philippe and the Club at Philippe

Was: Sienna, we hardly knew ye.
Is now: The most likely place to see Rihanna bibbing up in preparation for salt-and-pepper lobster. Also the most likely place to see her in an adjacent club very soon after that. Geography, right?
