E.A.T. in the Hidden Gardens, a benefit for the Springs Food Pantry, is set for Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Corbett Estate at 464 Old Stone Highway.

The evening will honor three of the hamlet’s notables, John Slattery, known for his roles in television (“Mad Men,” “Veep,” “Desperate Housewives”) and theater (“The Front Page”), along with his wife, Talia Balsam (“Mad Men,” “Homeland), and their son, Harry Slattery (“Girls5eva”). The Slatterys just finished a three-week run in “The Subject Was Roses” at Bay Street Theater.

E.A.T. stands for Enjoy and Taste. Guests can enjoy wine from Wolffer Estate, draft beer from Springs Brewery, and mocktails from Cocktails & Dreams, and taste hors d’oeuvres from Silver Spoon Specialties.

Tickets are $175 in advance, $200 the day of. Proceeds will benefit the food pantry’s mission to feed those in need.

First East Hampton, Then the World

In the summer of 2011, Alex Esposito and James Mirras addressed a specific need with Hamptons Free Ride, an electric shuttle service that ran in a fixed loop through East Hampton and from parking lots in town to Main Beach. Since then, a “hometown side project” has developed into Circuit, an all-electric, on-demand “micro-transit” solution in more than 40 cities and towns.

WordHampton Moves Downtown

The public relations firm WordHampton has long had its finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the East End business community. That comes with the job. And now, with a new office overlooking Park Place in East Hampton Village, it is part of that pulse in a way that was not quite as tangible from its former headquarters in Springs.

Sag Harbor Rejects Proposed Tree Settlement

The case of Augusta Ramsay Folks, an 81-year-old accused of cutting down two trees on Meadowlark Lane in Sag Harbor in June of last year — in violation of the village’s new tree-protection law — was back in court on July 8, when a settlement proposed by Ms. Folks was rejected by the village and then withdrawn by her attorney.
