The chefs and restaurants include 1770 House, Peter Ambrose, Bostwick's Catering, East End Food Institute, Estia's Little Kitchen, K Pasa, Manna at Lobster Inn, Sen, Wolffer Kitchen, and many others.

Doors will open at 11:30 for pickup by advance and online ticket holders only. The general public will be admitted at 1.

Speaking of the Springs Food Pantry, Word Hampton Public Relations is accepting donations for the pantry of nonperishable goods, which can be dropped off at its office at 512 Three Mile Harbor-Hog Creek Road through Monday.

Polar plunges at Main Beach in East Hampton and Beach Lane in Wainscott on New Year’s Day accomplish many things: bracing and exhilarating starts to the year, the company of many hundreds of friends and fellow townspeople, and a chance to secure bragging rights that extend well into 2026. But most important, each serves as a critical fund-raiser for food pantries.
