This photo of East Hampton's Main Street was taken today at 11 am. Stay Safe, Everyone!   We're all concerned about coronavirus and many are taking steps to practice "social distancing" and even self-quarantining. It's a perfect opportunity to chill at home, contact friends via email, phone, texting or social media, binge watch your favorite shows and read. We've been catching up on our east end history and wanted to share some intel on Mulford House, built by John Henry Mulford in 1680 and located at 10 James Lane in East Hampton, NY. Mulford House remains largely unchanged and is found on the site of the Mulford Farm. The home is a picture perfect snapshot of New England architecture of the time. One of the earliest inhabitants is Samuel Mulford (1644-1725). Samuel was a political reformer who argued against "taxation without representation" and was a member of the Colonial Assembly. His trade was whaling. The activist traveled to London in both 1704 and 1725 to protect and lobby for fair treatment of whalesmen on the East End of Long Island. He said the tax on their work was unfair. After his protests and speeches, reforms were enacted. The Mulford Farm is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The East Hampton Historical Society offers tours of Mulford Farm. Call 631-324-6850 for more information.
  Photo by Cooper Le Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in the Hamptons is a big tradition. Parades and festivities to enjoy the Irish holiday abound. The holiday falls on Tuesday, March 17, but activities on the Twin Forks are held are different days to allow celebrants to participate in more than one event. Amagansett/March 14 One of the shortest parades in history takes play on Saturday, March 14. It’s the 12th Annual AmO'Gansett St. Patrick's Day Parade featuring this year's grand marshals, the East Hampton Volunteer Ocean Rescue Squad. Come on out and cheer on these amazing lifesavers. The parade steps off on Main Street at noon. Prior to the parade, from 8 to 9:30 a.m., there will be a beach cleanup from Indian Wells Beach to Atlantic Avenue Beach.

The grand marshal is Charlie Morici Sr. Starting at 10 a.m. on the green, the Montauk Chamber of Commerce will be serving hot soup in St. Patrick's Day Parade souvenir mugs. "Montauk's finest soups are made and donated by local restaurants," organizers added.

In their Facebook statement, Indian Wells announced: “After 12 incredible years, Saturday, February 29th will be our final night of business. The restaurant has been sold and new owners will be launching a new restaurant. We wish the new owners the best and look forward to supporting them upon opening. We are incredibly thankful to all of our staff, customers and friends who have supported us over the years. You can visit us at either of our Bostwick’s locations this spring, Bostwick’s Chowder House or Bostwick’s on the Harbor.” The Tavern has been a preferred gathering place for sports events, celebrations and parties throughout its tenure on Main Street. Highway Restaurant & Bar in East Hampton announced the acquisition of the restaurant space. Highway Restaurant & Bar is a member of the TOMS Hospitality portfolio, that includes Manhattan’s Eleven Madison Park, Loring Place, Charlie Bird, and Shuko. The new owners say they plan to refresh the décor but plan is to keep the tavern style. The menu will “honor many local favorites and will be executed with fresh ingredients and the high standards of cuisine for which Highway is known. Patrons will still be able to watch their favorite teams on the bar televisions, have a pre-Talkhouse cocktail they have always loved, or enjoy a delicious and easy meal at the bar or in the dining room.” Plans are to open in early summer 2020.
