Super Bowl Monday is always a day of adjustment, of hitting that fine balance of enjoying yesterday, making it through today and keeping an eye on tomorrow. To that end, today the East End is buzzing about…
Chicken Wing Cupcakes—Every now and then, an invention comes along that changes our lives and makes us wonder how we ever lived without it. The chicken wing cupcake is one of those inventions. The cornbread-blue-cheese-frosting-and-hot-wing concoction created by Coccadotts’ Cake Shop in Albany, NY begs two questions: Why did it take so long to invent this? And why isn’t anyone making these in the Hamptons?
Plastic Bags Goodbyes—The ban on disposable plastic bags in East Hampton Village starts this Wednesday. Do you have your recyclable, reusable bags at the ready?
Super Bowl Victory Parades—Trouble is bound to erupt when teams play in one state and take their name from another. The argument is reaching a heated pitch over whether the New York Giants should be getting a ticker tape parade with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in NYC’s Canyon of Heroes or, as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has suggested, in NJ—the state in which the team plays its home games. In an attempt to keep the peace, we offer a Solomonic third opton: the Hamptons.
Kudos to Hugh Citrella who can somehow combine the inane ode to the appalling sounding Chicken Wing Cupcake with a pubic service announcement for East Hampton Town and end up making us laugh about a touchy super bowl issue….
