The buzziest new bars, clubs and party spots in the Hamptons
5 Pomodoro and Bufalina Pizza at hotspot Crazy Pizza.
Francesco Sapienza
If you think Crazy Pizza, owned by Heidi Klum and her ex-partner, Flavio Briatore, is just another pepperoni chain, think again. The restaurants offer a full-on dance party, complete with a DJ spinning sing-along hits, servers swinging pizza dough in the air and diners dancing on their chairs between courses. The concept launched in 2019 in Europe, with outposts popping up in exclusive summer donations like Porto Cervo, Italy; Ibiza, Spain; and St-Tropez. Following its US debut in NYC last year, the chain has now landed in the Hamptons. The space, tucked in the former O by Kissaki space, is sophisticated. Think: high-gloss custom millwork walls and retro-glam furnishings — but beachy. On the patio, guests can dine underneath string lights and among evergreens. East Hampton exclusives include white pizza with Volzhenka caviar. A DJ will spin Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with surprise pop-up performances all summer.

Montauk Project
Montauk Project opened halfway through last summer as a party oasis for locals and the summer crowd alike. It's a place where you can dance to a fabulous DJ all night without being mobbed by crowds or snag a well-crafted cocktail without a never-ending line. Even the aesthetics — the 6,200-square-foot space is decked out in wood, wicker, stone and plants — evoke a private island. For its full season this summer, Montauk Project, which quickly became known for its artisan pizzas and fresh salads made only of local ingredients, has added a full raw bar complete with oysters, and has also doubled its cocktail offerings. Expect live music almost every night from soulful acoustic performances to wild, high-energy DJs. Montauk Project, 240 Fort Pond Road, Montauk

Sage and Madison
Sage & Madison, a coffee shop and lifestyle boutique tucked in a barn in Sag Harbor, has long been the place to see and be seen. The shop sells local snacks, French teas and coffee, gifts and exclusive lines of designer clothes. Julianne Moore, Martha Stewart, Beyoncé, Jerry Seinfeld, Harrison Ford and even Ralph Lauren have all been spotted shopping there. This summer, the store is debuting a new garden space that will host dinners and soireés (Martha Stewart and Rachel Zoe separately entertained there before it was officially open. Joey Wölffer and Libertine, the LA-based fashion brand, are next). The vibe is secret-garden party and full upscale fun. There will be invite-only sip-and-shops, charity events and even sound baths, reserved for Hamptons' most fashionable. Wölffer Estate winery will be providing all the booze, and trust us, it will be flowing. Sage and Madison, 31 Madison St., Sag Harbor

When Gosman's — a family-friendly, waterside restaurant and retail center in Montauk that's been in business since 1951 — went up for sale a couple of years ago, no one knew what would happen to the historic property. But the mystery is finally over: Bagatelle, a French group of posh restaurants and beach clubs around the globe, will be launching its first Hamptons outpost there in June. The signature restaurant will be serving its famed meals-that-turn-into-crazy-parties. Think: light Mediterranean fare (including fresh fish caught that morning) and plenty of flowing drinks. There will also be a fisherman's bar made of reclaimed wood (for plenty of cozy cabin vibes) and a new dock where diners can sit right on the water and watch the sunset. Gosman's Dock, 500 W. Lake Drive, Montauk
5 The Bird in Montauk hosts a speakeasy event called 'The Birdhouse' every Saturday night between 9 pm and 12 am.
Ian Cooke / The Bird
Many Hamptons visitors think of The Bird, a restaurant in Montauk, as the ultimate brunch destination: a place to indulge in a stack of pancakes topped by bacon jam, or a soft scrambled egg sandwich, or even a round of espresso martini Jell-O shots. But true insiders know that on Saturday nights, the joint turns into The Bird House — a roaring speakeasy. The revelries began late last summer when Leo Daunt, the restaurant's owner, handed out business cards to friends and family with QR codes that revealed a password. 'We always made it some rogue bird name,' he explains. One week it was a blue-footed booby. Another week, the peregrine falcon. This summer, the speakeasy will sneak open every Saturday night from May through October. Guests with the birth-themed password will be led down a dark alleyway into a space lit only by candles and purple lighting. Bobby Murray, a rising country music star, will be on the mike. And an entirely new cocktail menu, inspired by the Prohibition era, will debut. 'Think French 75s, Sazeracs, Gin Rickeys,' says Daunt. 'It's a totally different vibe than the day.'

Heidi Klum 'proud of my daughter' in face of attacks on their lingerie shoots
Heidi Klum has finally responded to attacks on her lingerie campaigns with her firstborn daughter, 21-year-old Leni Klum. Heidi Klum, 52, blew off the naysayers in an interview published July 2 as part of her People cover story. "A lot of people are like, 'Oh, I don't know about mom and daughter doing this together. But for us? I'm proud of my daughter. She's fine with me like that," she told the magazine. The "Project Runway" host and model added, "I've always been very open with my body. When I'm suntanning in the backyard, I might not have a top on. I'm European … my kids don't know me any other way and are probably more easygoing with their bodies because of it." The mother-daughter duo has modeled several collections, including one for undergarment "basics" in April, for the Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi in recent years. In November, they posed with Klum's 80-year-old mother, Erna Klum, in long-sleeved shirts from a cashmere collection. Leni, who is Heidi's only child with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore and was adopted by her mom's now ex-husband Seal, started modeling in 2020. Though she had several modeling opportunities while growing up, her mom preferred to keep her out of the public eye until Heidi deemed Leni "old enough" to pursue a modeling career. Heidi's 19-year-old son with Seal, Henry Samuel, made his runway debut in January at Paris Fashion Week. Heidi Klum's daughter's response to online hate In a March interview with Vogue Germany, Leni declared that online hate is inevitable. "I always try to remember that no matter what you do, there will always be someone who doesn't like it," she said. "You simply have no control over it and you can't focus too much on the negative." Leni, a New York University student, joked that it helped that many of the comments were written in her first language. "Most of the comments are in German, and I don't really understand many of them," she said. "That helps too, of course." Contributing: Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY

Happy Birthday Le Creuset—To 100 Years Of Cooking And Style
The return of the original color but with a special 100th birthday sparkle: Flamme Dorée. 2025 marks a very special birthday for a brand that has become synonymous with good cooking and exceptional style. Le Creuset products are world-renowned for being colorful workhorses in the kitchen, and, with a history rooted in France, the brand also coincides with a history of culinary excellence. Gourmands know that no matter your cuisine of choice, incorporating French techniques usually means an added level of scholarship and attention to detail. It is not much a stretch, therefore, to believe a century-old French product also leads the way when it comes to must-have items for an ardent cook's kitchen. And with the recent accolade as one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential Companies of the year, 100 years in, a party is indeed in order. Say 'Le Creuset' First things first. Before thinking about the array of products or the extensive color palette, we have to set something straight: how to pronounce the name. Many of us who have studied French may think, bien sûr, c'est facile! But, of course, it is NOT easy for many, so the brand regularly shares a little tutorial on just how to do it. Likely a 1oo-year-old conundrum, they at least add a dash of humor while setting the record straight: Le Creuset signature cream, wide Dutch oven; with a small cream cocotte along the side. Whether you say it correctly or trip your way through it, the product has reached heirloom status, and is something regularly listed on wedding registries. People have been known to design their entire kitchens around a piece of Le Creuset cookware. Chef Gaby Dalkin of What's Gaby Cooking is such a big fan, she occasionally collaborates with the brand and cheerleads for it on her social media. She received her first Le Creuset as a wedding present in 2013. In 2024, the popular LA-based chef hosted two events that highlighted Le Creuset products, one with Secret Supper in Brooklyn and another as a 'Friendsgiving Dinner' held in Los Angeles for her many fans. At each soirée, Le Creuset ovens, pans, braisers and more were showcased on each table, at the bar, in nooks all over the gardens, and filled with bouquets of flowers, bites or butters. 'They are timeless,' said Dalkin, who received a braiser at her wedding. 'From cooking in it to serving in it to leaving it on the counter as an art piece, it's the perfect vessel.' Guests of the New York dinner got to take home a mini, round cocotte in Pêche, the signature color of the evening; and at the November 'Friendsgiving' dinner guests brought home a cocotte in nuit, a deep navy blue.

To honor 100 years, Le Creuset produced a limited-edition version of the original color, called Flamme Dorée--which means Golden Flame--and has added an element of shimmer from various minerals that sparkle when the light hits the surface. They've also produced a 'crucible knob' in gold to further customize some of the products and pay homage to the brand's special birthday. The Anniversary celebrations have ramped up in 2025 with the brand serving as a collaborative partner at numerous culinary events across the country, including several dinners with Secret Supper---celebrating its 10th Anniversary---and with Cherry Bombe, the pre-eminent media company that highlights women in the food and beverage industry. Cherry Bombe has been working with Le Creuset specifically for its summer-long Tastemakers Tour events, which has featured many of the brands signature products, including pieces from the newest line, the Alpine Outdoor Collection, which launched in May. There's a black matte finish on top of each cast iron piece in the line meant to endure high heat from cooking over an open flame. 'My first ever live cooking demo was for a Le Creuset store in 2011. Today, I still use the cocottes, the signature skillet, or the pan, for everything from fruit crumbles to savory French toast or home fries. I love that you can bring them from stove to oven.'French culinary icon Chef Jacques Pepin is also celebrating a milestone this year; the multi-talented chef turns 90 in December. In addition to celebrations throughout 2025 for his birthday, he has joined a birthday parade of sorts with numerous chefs from around the world wishing Le Creuset a Happy 100th. He was recently featured in a video, created by the cookware brand, that shared one of his many Le Creuset memories, most notably about the collection of pots he and his wife Gloria began to collect when they first moved to New York in the late 50s. Today, some of those very pots have been handed down to his daughter, Claudine, who still works closely with her father on television shows and cooking videos, and is the founder of the Jacques Pepin Foundation.

Although 2025 is half gone, the celebrations for Le Creuset are far from over. More stories will be shared and more pieces will be given as gifts or passed down from one to another; and with that, a new generation of cooks will fall in love. So, whether it becomes the tried and true vessel for cooking a daily family meal or sits and shows off its sleek style from the stove, the brand From the foundry in France, this image gives new meaning to the line: "if you can't stand the heat, ...

Heidi Klum Describes How She Makes Her $9.8 Million Bel-Air Pad ‘Home Base' for Her Children
Supermodel has explained how she has transformed her $9.8 million Bel-Air mansion into a 'home base' where her children feel 'safe' as she acknowledged that being a 'control freak' has helped her career. The 52-year-old detailed how she has stayed confident even when she didn't match the body type catalogs were looking for at the start of her career and the moments she cherishes at her California dwelling in a wide-ranging interview with People. Klum, who shares children Leni, 21, Henry, 19, Johan, 18, and Lou, 15, with ex-husband Seal, got candid about the early days of her career and how having 'hips' and 'boobs' and being a 'workaholic' helped her in the long run. Her relationship with her children has blossomed throughout the years, she says, in large part thanks to her hard work at creating a place where their children feel at home. The model-turned-TV-show-judge noted that she wants her kids to feel comfortable bringing their friends to the home, adding that she enjoys having people over. 'I love having a house where they feel safe. My son was barbecuing with his friends in the backyard the other day and doing all the things I taught him. It was so cute. For me, it's always the more, the merrier. I like it when they're all at home,' she said. The mom revealed that her relationship with her children is built off of 'transparency,' referencing her controversial photo shoot with her daughter, which saw the pair posing in lingerie. 'A lot of people are like, 'Oh, I don't know about mom and daughter doing this together,' but for us? I'm proud of my daughter. She's fine with me like that. 'I've always been very open with my body. When I'm suntanning in the backyard, I might not have a top on. I'm European … my kids don't know me any other way and are probably more easygoing with their bodies because of it,' the mom explained. Although her children are getting older, Klum revealed that she still worries about them and always will. 'When they're young, you're worried they're going to jump in the pool or stick their finger in a socket. Then they're driving. Then it's sex, drugs and rock and roll. You hope the seed you planted in them grows. That they're good people. 'That they're healthy. But you always worry. And I know I'll still be worrying when I'm 80,' she said. Further in the interview, the 'America's Got Talent' alum explained that she loves keeping busy and pours herself into her work. 'I'm a workaholic, control freak. I've been so focused with the shows that I have been doing and making sure that everything that comes out of them looks good. I love what I do,' said Klum, who is returning to 'Project Runway.' Klum, who wed Tom Kaulitz in 2019, holds the keys to many properties, but her main residence is her Bel-Air mansion, which is where she and her hubby reside. The model snapped up the home in 2013 for $9.8 million from TV producer Ed Weinberger. The Georgian-style dwelling boasts six bedrooms and nine bathrooms and sprawls across 11,000 square feet. The outside of the property features a resort-style pool, a trampoline, a pizza oven, and the $22,000 giant blue plastic snail that was gifted to her by ex-boyfriend Vito Schnabel. She also owns a $5.1 million penthouse in SoHo, which sprawls across 4,772 square feet.
