The Woman Who Couldn't Stop Eating
Lured by the promise of three-course meals for $19.95 and cheap wine, I traded exercise time for restaurant time last week, and dined out nightly in my own observance of Hamptons Restaurant Week.

Critics

Opinion: Players Take Final Bow
The program for the Southampton Players' production of "A Chorus Line" states that its 2002 version of the Michael Bennett play was the most successful musical in the troupe's history. With Southampton College closing at the end of this spring, and an uncertain future for the players at best, it is no surprise that Michael Disher decided to return to the same play for a final bow. What better way to end their run than with an enthusiastic rendition of "One Singular Sensation"?

Opinion: Royal Infants, Art Smoothies
Large, grave babies in dresses or christening gowns are the subjects of Melora Griffis's 15 paintings at the Pamela Williams Gallery in Amagansett. The infants are seen in a series of gestural improvisations that focus on their faces, more specifically, on ways to capture volume by expressionistic means. The pictures give the impression that Ms. Griffis works quickly; backgrounds have been rapidly brushed in, and the dresses are made of broad strokes.

Opinion: Color and Massive Sound
Think organ music is just for churches (and maybe jazz combos)? Think again.
