Lucky's Steakhouse Replaces Beloved East Hampton Restaurant
A steak dinner at Lucky's Steakhouse in East Hampton A 25-year-old California institution is expanding to the East End. Lucky's Steakhouse will open its fourth location at the end of June, expanding its presence beyond Montecito, Malibu, and Soho to yet another ritzy locale: East Hampton. The California-based restaurant is replacing the recently shuttered Cove Hollow Tavern at 85 Montauk Highway. Following the Ina Garten-lauded restaurant's final service on May 31, 2025, Lucky's retained the staff of the former institution, honoring local ties and ensuring familiar faces at the front of house (hiring peak season in the Hamptons is also a notable challenge). Fans of Cove Hollow Tavern can find some of the restaurant's beloved dishes at their sister restaurant, Vine Street Cafe, on Shelter Island. Lucky's Steakhouse was founded by Gene Montesano of Lucky Brand Jeans, along with his friends Herb Simon and Jimmy Argyropoulos, Herb's daughter Sarah Meyer Simon is leading the brand's East Coast expansion. A seafood tower at Lucky's Steakhouse in East Hampton 'We opened Lucky's in Montecito in 2000, creating a place where friends could enjoy a great meal in a comfortable atmosphere and be treated like family," shared Herb Simon. "Two decades later, we brought that same spirit to Malibu. In July 2024, SoHo followed—a small neighborhood restaurant with great food and atmosphere. Next up is East Hampton, where I have a home and spend my summers, and needless to say I'm excited to bring the Lucky's experience to the Hamptons.' Dining at Lucky's Steakhouse East Hampton East Hampton has no shortage of great spots for steak (East Hampton Grill, The Palm) and Lucky's will join the steakhouse selection with dry-aged USDA Prime steaks and more menu items familiar to their guests in California and SoHo. Highlights include Gene's Filet (filet mignon, fresh horseradish, red-wine sauce), the Lucky's Salad (romaine, shrimp, bacon, avocado & Roquefort), and Skinny Onion Rings (thin frizzled onions). Hamptons-exclusive plats du jour, inspired by the local fare, plus a raw bar, will also be served. A white tablecloth dinner service at Lucky's Steakhouse To drink, tableside martini service, an extensive wine list, and full bar, of course. The East Hampton Lucky's is very much inspired by the original Montecito location. Longtime artistic collaborator Peter Horjus painted Jazz Age-inspired murals of East End scenes to adorn the space along with new furnishings crafted by French atelier Maison Gatti. Lucky's East Hampton will be open on weekdays from 5 p.m. - 10 p.m. and 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. on weekends. Reservations available via OpenTable, and walk-ins are welcome.

Travis Kelce splashes out on private helicopter to the Hamptons for boys' golf day... hours after NYC date night with Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce enjoyed some golf on Saturday at a luxury Hamptons course as he splurged on a private helicopter to take him and a close friend out east. Kelce and girlfriend Taylor Swift were spotted in New York City on Friday night grabbing dinner at Italian restaurant Torrisi, after the Chiefs tight end took a private jet to the Big Apple earlier in the day. And a day later, Kelce ventured to East Hampton Golf Club with his good friend Ross Travis as they hit the links. Kelce, who wore a white polo shirt, white baseball cap and khaki shorts, was photographed holding a canned beverage as he walked alongside his former Kansas City teammate Travis. The ultra-exclusive club, which opened in 2000, reportedly has an initiation fee of $400,000 for members, who are also said to need a net worth of at least $1million or earn more than $200,000 per year. According to the club's website, it's been recognized as a top 50 golf club in the country with a 'platinum club designation.' Kelce and his group arrived in the Hamptons via a private helicopter. He had been in New York City the night before. The 6,400-yard course also bans carts outside of members who are 'unable to walk the course' due to physical impairments. The club has just 250 memberships, its website says. Nonetheless, Kelce - who will top $111million in career earnings this season - was welcomed to the course for a day during the Chiefs offseason. Kelce and his friends could be seen returning to the helicopter later in the day, as the three-time Super Bowl winner held his golf shoes in one hand as he stepped aboard. The 35-year-old returned to Kansas City this week for the Chiefs' three-day mandatory training camp. Just before, he was in Cannes, Frances with his brother Jason before making the cross-continental dash to practice. The duo were among the invited guests at the Amazon Port Panel in the iconic French town, where the Kelces dutifully promoted their highly successful podcast, New Heights. Travis will now have nearly a month off before the Chiefs report to training camp on July 22, as they announced on Monday morning. He's been enjoying his offseason as he reunited with girlfriend Swift on Friday, as the couple were filmed leaving dinner by a shocked fan. The couple have been enjoying a more low-key summer after Kelce followed the singer around the globe during her Eras Tour last year. Before they linked up in New York, the pair had last been seen at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup in Florida last week, as the Panthers faced the Oilers. Reports on the night claimed a helicopter landed near the venue roughly 50 minutes before the puck drop, with the VIP entrance and elevators to the press box also closed to the public as Kelce and Swift made their grand arrival. They were first seen walking through the corridors of the arena and heading out to their seats shortly after the game had begun in Florida. After much deliberation following his team's loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, Kelce decided to return for his 13th NFL season. Speaking to reporters last week, he explained how he came to that choice. 'Really didn't feel like it was my last game,' Kelce said. 'Just felt like I had a lot more to prove. Kelce held his golf shoes in one hand as he and Travis returned to the helicopter to head off Kelce could be seen talking to another friend at the luxury golf course on Saturday 'Yeah, you want to let the emotions die down; you don't want to make a decision off initial emotions. Once they died down, I felt like I still had that fire in my chest to come in and keep building and chase another Super Bowl, man.' Furthermore, Kelce somewhat dismissed the notion that he had dropped an astonishing 25 pounds as he ramps up for the 2025 season. 'Don't believe all you read on the internet, guys. I'm down some weight from the end of last season - last year - but each year is different, man. You have to rebuild it,' he said. 'This year, I had some time to really focus on some form running and some things early in the offseason that I didn't have time for last year. Certainly feeling good and I think it'll pay off.'

First electric passenger plane lands at JFK in milestone flight
It's not every day aviation history is made, but June 2025 marked a real milestone for New York and the world of electric flight. For the first time, a passenger-carrying electric airplane landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport, and it wasn't just a test. There were actual people on board. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you'll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide — free when you join. Kyle Clark, founder and CEO of Beta Technologies, was at the controls as the company's electric aircraft flew from East Hampton to JFK. With four passengers on board, the trip covered about 70 nautical miles in just over half an hour. That's right, a fully electric plane, carrying people, quietly and efficiently making its way through the skies above New York. Clark put it simply, "This is a 100% electric airplane that just flew from East Hampton to JFK with passengers on it, which was a first for the New York Port Authority and the New York area. We covered 70 odd nautical miles in 35 minutes." The message this sent was clear that electric air travel is here, and it's practical. The real takeaway isn't just the novelty of the flight, but what it means for the future of getting around. Electric aircraft like this one are quiet, which means happier communities near airports. They're also much cheaper to operate. As Clark noted, "Charging this thing up and flying out here cost us about $8 in fuel. Of course, you have to pay for the pilot and the airplane, but, fundamentally, it's way less expensive." Passengers on the flight could talk to each other the whole time, thanks to the lack of noisy engines and propellers. That kind of comfort and accessibility is exactly what could make electric air travel a hit with commuters and travelers looking for a better way to get from one point to another. Transportation companies are already eyeing electric battery-powered aircraft for short city trips, especially those that can take off and land vertically. The idea is to help travelers beat traffic and reduce emissions, all while offering a smoother, quieter ride. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has also stepped in, finalizing new rules in October for pilot training and certification for air taxis. This move was described as "the final piece in the puzzle for safely introducing these aircraft in the near term." With regulations in place and companies like Beta Technologies pushing forward, the dream of electric air taxis is closer than ever. Beta Technologies, based in Vermont and founded in 2017, is at the forefront of this movement. The company recently raised $318 million to fund production, certification and commercialization of its electric aircraft, bringing its total funding to over $1 billion. It's not just building planes. It's building the infrastructure needed to support electric flight across the country. The success of this flight is a strong signal that electric air travel is becoming a practical option, not just a futuristic idea. Beta's aircraft can fly up to 250 nautical miles on a single charge, making it ideal for short hops between cities and suburbs. As more companies join the effort and more charging stations are built, it's easy to see how electric air travel could become a regular part of how we get around, especially in busy urban areas. So, what's the real story here? The first passenger-carrying electric airplane touching down at JFK is way more than a cool headline. It's proof that electric air travel isn't just some futuristic thing. It's actually here, it works and it's ready to shake up how we get around. With rules that make sense, plenty of investment and people getting more curious and excited, the future of clean, quiet and easy-to-access air travel is looking pretty promising. When it comes to new tech like electric planes, what makes you hesitate the most? Are you more concerned about safety and reliability or is there something else on your mind?

I'm a Former Lululemon Employee, and These Are the 11 Best-selling Items Shoppers Never Return—From $18
Before I found my calling as a travel writer, I had another career I loved so much that I used to show up to work early and leave late— on purpose . My job title was store educator, and my office was the Lululemon store in East Hampton, N.Y. I had the privilege of teaching shoppers about Lululemon's groundbreaking—and that word isn't a stretch (pun intended)—fabric technology, fueling the athleisure movement. We're talking game-changing fits and features that warranted an unheard-of price point. Back in the early aughts, paying $98 for a pair of leggings, even in the Hamptons, seemed ludicrous. Still, I don't recall many people leaving the store without buying something. And even fewer people came in to make returns. I've never worked in retail again, and I don't think I could because, in a way, Lululemon ruined me. That said, it still makes up at least 60 percent of my travel wardrobe, and that's without the generous employee discount I used to enjoy. So, which items are worth investing in? Here are 11 best-selling Lululemon items, or updated versions, that were never returned, including leggings, jackets, shorts, and even dresses, starting at just $18. I remember so many Wunder Under tights flying off the shelves that we joked they had wings. Even Taylor Swift has been photographed wearing them! Since debuting around 2008, Wunder Under tights have come in various iterations, but I love this current style because it has deep drop-in pockets on the sides that are big enough to fit my phone and passport. Although they're technically designed for training, I wear them as travel pants. Shoppers who work out in them say they love how they don't show sweat. Perhaps that's because it dries super fast thanks to the Everlux fabric's moisture-wicking properties. When I travel to warmer climates, I reach for the Wunder Train High-rise Short. Like their pant counterparts, they're extremely breathable. In Lululemon's own words, they 'perform in high heat.' These shorts don't have deep side pockets, but I appreciate the stash pocket in the waistband, which is big enough to fit a credit card or hotel room key. Choose from four-inch and six-inch inseams, and regardless of length, expect them to feel like a second skin. One shopper, who trained for a marathon in them, wrote that they 'loved the hugged-in feeling,' and despite running in them for years, the fabric integrity has held up nicely. Back in my day, Lululemon's reversible, strapless 'Beat the Heat' dress was all the rage. Until they resurrect it, I recommend the Align Dress, which I currently own in black. Between the built-in shelf bra and shorts with pockets, it's a seriously elevated dress you can wear while working out or wine tasting. Plus, it's made of Nulu, so it's softer and looks sleeker. 'It flatters every curve and moves effortlessly, whether heading out for a casual day or dressing it up for a night out,' reads one five-star review titled 'Perfect for traveling.' Lululemon's best-selling Define Jacket is made of its first signature fabric, Luon. When it launched in the early 2000s, this game-changing blend of nylon and Lycra was embraced by yogis tired of thin fabrics that were too sheer and ripped after a few months of wear and tear. Today's Define Jacket looks similar to the O.G., although it no longer comes in Herringbone (RIP). It has over 7,600 five-star ratings, and shoppers love how easy it is to dress up or down. One shopper, who says they've bought it 'on repeat' in many colors for decades, says it's perfect for spring, summer, and fall when all you need is a light jacket. I won't say what year I was born, but I'm old enough to remember the reversible Groove Flared Pant with a black waistband on one side and a colored waistband on the other. They were a huge hit with shoppers, particularly those who loved getting two looks for the price of one. Today's Groove Flared Pant may not be reversible, but I don't mind. That's because it's made with the newer and improved Nulu fabric. Lululemon describes Nulu as 'buttery soft,' but I love that one satisfied shopper refers to it as 'barely-there soft.' Plus, it boasts a wider foldover waist that I find to be more flattering, especially if I'm wearing a crop top or shorter tank like my new Glow Up Tank Top. The Groove shorts were also hard to keep in stock. While it's no longer made, the Align High-rise Short is the ideal substitute. It's basically the Groove, but it's made with Nulu fabric and is available in more inseam options, from two to eight inches. I have them in six-inch and they're so comfortable, I sometimes wear them under dresses even if I can get away with wearing underwear instead. I appreciate that the wide waistband, despite having a secret stash pocket, doesn't dig into my stomach when I sit down. The Align High-rise Short has more than 1,700 five-star ratings, with one shopper, who has purchased many pairs over the years, calling them their 'go-to' for every activity from gardening to rollerblading. When I worked at Lululemon, my uniform was a pair of leggings or a skirt paired with the Power Y Tank, which shoppers loved because it was such a versatile layer. Today, its closest cousin is the Ebb to Street Tank Top, another best-seller that dropped a few years later. Like the Power Y, this tank features a slim fit, narrow racerback, and built-in B/C cup bra with removable pads. Unlike the Power Y, it has a slightly ribbed texture, a longer length, and a touch more Lycra—three enhancements shoppers seem to appreciate. The Ebb to Street Tank Top has more than 2,000 five-star ratings, where many fans beg the brand not to change a thing. I used to have a love-hate relationship with the Scuba Full-zip Hoodie. I loved telling shoppers about its fun features, including a zipper pull that can be used as a hair tie, thumbholes, Cuffins to keep sleeves in place, and an oversized structured hood. But I hated folding them. Fortunately, because most shoppers who tried one on wore it out of the store, we didn't do a lot of refolding. Today's hip-length Scuba Full-zip Hoodie is longer than the O.G., but judging by its 4,700 five-star ratings, it's just as beloved. One shopper, who has the latest model, wrote that they love the new fit, although they admit they still wear their old Scuba, which has to be 10 to 15 years old and 'still looks amazing.' The Speed short was the predecessor to today's Speed Up Short. I finally retired my first pair of faded Speeds (they were 15 years old) last year. I remember them being such a hot item that when we'd get new inventory in, my coworkers and I would set aside a pair or two in our size because we worried they'd sell out by the time our shift was over. The latest Speed Up High-rise Lined Short, a trending item online, has an upgraded zipper on its back pocket, an updated high-rise fit, and slightly more flattering seams. One shopper, who reckons they've owned every version of this short since 2008, sums them up as a 'staple for summer.' I used to have cotton sports bras until 2009, when I used my Lululemon employee discount on the Flow Y Bra. Yes, it had a prime position on our bra rack, but that's only because it was so popular. It's been a Lululemon mainstay since the early 2000s, and I remember celebrating like it was Christmas when the Flow Y Bra IV with the partially mesh back came out. It was so breathable! Today's Flow Y Bra is more like the original in cut, but it's made with a newer (and softer) fabric: Nulu. If I have to wear a bra, I don't want to be reminded. Pro tip: Size up. I'm a size 4, but when it comes to Lululemon bras, a size 6 fits much better. When I worked at Lululemon, headbands used to sell like hotcakes, and not just because they occupied prime real estate on the floor. In fact, most shoppers knew they'd love their new headbands so much, they didn't even want the receipt—it went straight in the trash, and the headband went straight on their head. While this License to Train Wide Headband is more performance-oriented than the Slipless Headbands we carried, I love it because it comes in more neutral colors that appeal to men, too. Still relatively new, it only has about 131 five-star ratings total. But from those, it already has an impressive 4.7-star average rating. Love a great deal?
