Made’s Summer Soirée

    Made, a store that recently opened on Race Lane in East Hampton, will hold a summer soirée on Saturday from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The shop, owned by Eleni Preston, a longtime Sag Harbor resident and artist, sells “items functional and beautiful, original and reclaimed, from around the world.” Because Ms. Preston works with many artisans in different mediums, the inventory changes frequently.

Expanded Walk-In Hours

    East Hampton Walk-In Medical Care has expanded its schedule for the summer. The clinic, formerly known as East Hampton Urgent Care, is open for the summer from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, with weekend hours from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

    It is also expanding insurance coverage, and now accepts Blue Cross-Blue Shield, Cigna, Empire Plan, Island Group Administration, Medicaid, United Healthcare, and Oxford. Aetna is pending.

    At 470 Montauk Highway, between East Hampton and Amagansett, across from Cook, Hall, and Hyde, East Hampton Walk-In Medical Care can be reached at 329-5900.

    Those with a hankering for jerk chicken or curried goat need look no farther than North Main Street in East Hampton to satisfy those island cravings. Thanks to Rena Hewie Stoutt, a long-time East Hampton resident originally from Hanover Parish, Jamaica, these Caribbean prizes, along with a large selection of dry goods, can be found at Jamaica Specialties, a store that opened last weekend.

    “It’s always been a dream of hers to open a store,” said Mrs. Stoutt’s granddaughter, Alayah Hewie, who was managing the shop on Monday. “She’s been cooking Jamaican food all her life. This was a brave move.”

    Some of Mrs. Stoutt’s other dishes include oxtail, rice and peas, plantains, cabbage, and the can’t-keep-them-in-the-store-long-enough Jamaican beef patties.

    But, said Ms. Hewie, many of the store’s first customers were also interested in the jerk spices and seasonings offered on the shelves.

    “People seemed interested in buying the ingredients and making their own jerk sauce at home,” she said.

    Other exotic offerings include coconut and ginger biscuits, tamarind balls and other island candies, and Jamaican soft drinks, including the popular Ting soda.

    “One guy bought eight bottles last weekend,” said Ms. Hewie. “He was so excited we have it in stock.”

    The store, which is nestled in at 110 North Main Street, is still working out the kinks, but is open and ready to serve customers. Mrs. Stoutt will offer her hot dishes on the weekends only, for now.

    “Before, people had to go up to Hempstead, or even Brooklyn, to get authentic Jamaican cuisine,” said Ms. Hewie. “Our customers have said they’re all really happy to have real Caribbean food right here in East Hampton.”

Getting Fresh, Eh?

    Coming down on the fashion currents from Canada, Joe Fresh has opened a pop-up store on Main Street in East Hampton Village, featuring casual summer wear at reasonable prices.

    This is Joe Fresh’s first store in the United States, although the brand is well known, with 300 stores up north.

    Although the local branch of the shop will only be open until the end of the summer, a more permanent store is set to open in New York City this fall.

    The East Hampton store, on the corner of the Circle and Main Street, is open seven days a week. More information about the brand can be found at joefresh.com.

Scent of the Hamptons

    When the Southampton Saks Fifth Avenue recently closed its doors, Bond No. 9, with three shops in Manhattan, set out to find a new place on the East End to market its line of perfumes, scented candles, soaps, body creams, and more.

    Last month, Bond No. 9 opened its parfumerie in Sag Harbor’s American Hotel at 45 Main Street, which is in keeping with the company’s modus operandi of inhabiting historic buildings and locations. The latest location features a sea-blue chandelier. along with what a release calls, “our legendary five-star service.”

    Local scents will make the scene as well — Bond No. 9 has launched two beach fragrances, Hamptons and Montauk, rich with marine notes. A Sag Harbor scent is in the works.

Ramy Brook Trunk Shows

    Ramy Brook, according to a release, “is a luxurious lifestyle brand defined by sexy, wearable pieces that can take women from day to dinner.” The ready-to-wear label, featuring “casual glam” clothes, will host three trunk shows this month. The first is today, from 9 a.m. to noon at Soul Cycle at 264 Butter Lane in Bridgehampton, but there’s another chance to see what’s on offer next Thursday at Edit New York, 28 at Job’s Lane in South­ampton from 4 to 6 p.m. Last call is on July 30, at Super Saturday, held at 30 Millstone Road in Water Mill from noon to 6 p.m.

    The designer of the line with a ’70s twist is Ramy Sharp, who has a house in Southampton that she shares with her husband and three children. Twenty percent of sales will be donated to the Women’s International Zionist Organization U.S.A., which is one of Israel’s largest providers of social welfare services, catering not only to women, but also to children and the elderly.

Mac Store in Sag

    Thanks to Twin Peaks Geeks and the company’s flagship store, GeekHampton, those searching for the latest iPhone, iPad, or other Mac gadgets need travel no farther than Sag Harbor.

    The store, which opened at 34 Bay Street last month, offers tutoring for the technologically challenged and troubleshooting services, through either store visits or house calls. There is also plenty of hardware to browse and buy. Owned by Sheryl Heller and Mike Avery, it is open seven days a week. Its Web site is twinpeaksgeeks.com and phone number is 723-3660.

Sleepy’s in Wainscott

    Finding a proper mattress can be a harrowing journey, but now the journey is a lot shorter. Sleepy’s, the national bed chain, has opened a store on Montauk Highway in Wainscott. Its offerings range from soft pillow-topped mattresses to ones you could bounce a quarter off. The manager is Eric Appel, and the phone number is 537-1943. There are Sleepy’s stores in Bridgehampton and Southampton as well.

    The numbers, as they say, do not lie. According to Town and Country, an East End real estate firm that provides detailed information from 11 different markets in the area,  some villages and towns have made notable jumps in sales, while some have stayed stable, and only two have not met the sales for the previous quarter.

    Leading the way is Shelter Island with a 44.4-percent gain in the number of houses sold compared to the same quarter last year, followed closely by Bridgehampton, which includes, in this study, Water Mill and Sagaponack, with a 40-percent jump due in part to “the ‘super ball’ bounce in the Sagaponack south market,” according to a statement from Judi Desiderio, the chief executive officer of Town and Country. “There’s nothing like investing in East End dirt.”

    Amagansett experienced a 24-percent gain in sales and a 13-percent increase in median home prices. Southampton Village has seen the largest jump in market sales, with median home sales up 41 percent, and a 135-percent gain in home-sale volume, or the dollar amount of the sales.

    In the East Hampton area, including Wainscott and Springs, the prices for the houses sold have increased, but there were fewer sales than in any other area on the East End, according to the report. However, East Hampton Village had the same number of sales as the same quarter last year — eight to be exact — but their combined sales prices were double what they were in 2010. So, although there were no sales jumps, there was a 91-percent gain in total home sales volume.

    Montauk, like East Hampton Village, had almost the same number of sales as the same period last year — one fewer — but had a 14-percent jump in volume, due to the increased prices of the properties sold.

    The property sales in Sag Harbor, which includes Noyac and North Haven, tell an interesting story. Twenty houses sold in the second quarter of 2011, compared to 25 in 2010, but the money generated by those sales rose from $31 million in 2010 to over $57 million this year, an 84-percent jump.

    Over all, according to the report, the total home sales value for all 11 Hamptons markets is up 28 percent from $586 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $751 million in the same quarter this year. That was coupled with a 14-percent increase in the median home sales price from $925,000 to $1.05 million.

Pop-Up From St. Barts

    Linde Gallery will be hosting trunk shows, book signings, and other events as the season progresses. The Web site is www.lindegallery.com to keep up. Stay tuned!

A Correction
