Frankie's Fabulous Italiano Opens in East Hampton
Frankie's Fabulous Italiano opened this August at 44 Three Mile Harbor Road, sharing an address with Drai's East Hampton, a Las Vegas nightclub that opened out east in July 2025.
Last summer, the restaurant space was home to Manhattan transplant Little Charli's, which shared a space with the nightclub Common Ground East (which relocated this summer to 174 Daniels Hole Road in East Hampton). Previously, El Turco, a trendy Turkish restaurant based in Miami, served hot pink hummus out of the same dining room from 2022 to 2023.
The space itself has a lauded history dating back over five decades, with previous tenants including nightclubs like Leo, Philippe, SL East, NV Tsunami, The Jag, and Mellow Mouth.
Now, the space is split into a nightclub and Italian American eatery for guets to load up on chicken parm and penne alla vodka before dancing the night away.
'Frankie's Fabulous Italiano is where East Hampton gathers year-round to savor authentic Italian flavors, share wood-fired magic, and celebrate the spirit of the Hamptons, from summer sunsets to autumn harvests, winter warmth, and spring awakenings,' said Frank A. Cilione, owner of Frankie's, and longtime leader in various concepts previously at 44 Three Mile Harbor Road.
The restaurant centers around a wood-fired oven, to create oblong Roman-style pizzas with three types of sauce (marinara, white, or spicy fra diavolo), all customizable with specialty topping options including burrata, spicy honey, truffle, ricotta, sopressata, portobello mushrooms, and more. A $125 Fabuloso Pizza runs 1 meter long (that's over three feet, Americans).
Frankie's Fabulous menu also includes shareable apps, like zucchini chips and fried calamari, plus salads, including the signature house salad mixing romaine with tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, artichokes, kalamata olives, and provolone cheese. Pastas are all under $30 and include crowd-pleasers like rigatoni pomodoro, gnocchi in vodka sauce with burrata, and linguine salsiccia with broccoli rabe, fresh garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, parmesan cheese. Heartier main dishes include chicken parmesan, for one, or served family style, and seafood dishes like pan-seared tuna with homemade pesto and cherry tomatoes plus grilled salmon with veg.
A full bar offers classic cocktails, spritzes, beers, and several tiers of wine by the glass or bottle.
Indoor and outdoor dining is available. Parking is also offered on site.
Currently, the restaurant is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday from 5 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. - 10 a.m. Reservations are available for groups of up to 12 via OpenTable. Delivery and pickup orders are offered via UberEats.

A Lifelong Party of ‘Puzzle-Making Tomfoolery'
Jerry Slocum likes to cause trouble — with puzzles. A celebrated collector, Mr. Slocum, 94, has so far amassed some 46,000 mechanical puzzles. He began collecting at age 8. In one of numerous books that Mr. Slocum has written on the subject (often with co-authors), such puzzles are defined as 'a self-contained object, composed of one or more parts, which involves a problem for one person to solve by manipulation using logic, reasoning, insight, luck and/or dexterity.' Mr. Slocum's favorite is the T puzzle. Also known as the Tormentor or the Teaser, it originated in the early 1900s as an advertising gimmick, and also just for fun. A big capital T is cut into four pieces. The goal is reassembly. 'It looks pretty simple, but it's not,' Mr. Slocum, a retired aerospace engineer, said on a Saturday morning last summer in downtown Houston. He had just put a T puzzle on display at the latest International Puzzle Party. Mr. Slocum first threw this party on April Fools' Day in 1978; just 10 people gathered in the living room of his Beverly Hills home, where he still lives. Now, more than 500 serious collectors are on the invitation list, and the event is organized by a rotating committee. The destination moves on a three-year cycle among the United States, Europe and Asia. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Mamdani's Video Savvy: Easy to Envy, Hard to Duplicate
Zohran Mamdani used three things to catapult himself to an upset Democratic primary win in the New York City mayor's race: a viral social media presence, a laser focus on affordability and an exhaustive ground game. His opponents' immediate takeaway? They need a better video strategy. Nine days after Mr. Mamdani clinched victory, Mayor Eric Adams released an online video where he pretended to be talking to Usher — using scenes from the artist's well-known music video for 'Confessions Part II' — to announce a summer concert series. He later filmed himself doing pull-ups from a pedestrian crossing sign, and, more recently, invited New Yorkers on an 'MTV Cribs'-style tour of his home at Gracie Mansion. (As a candidate in 2021, Mr. Adams conducted a similar tour of a home he owns in Brooklyn to demonstrate that he actually lived there. It was not entirely convincing.) Not to be outdone, former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who is running as an independent after losing the primary, has posted videos of himself jump-starting a car and opining on how to pronounce 'Kosciuszko Bridge.' using snappy music, a cinematic filter and a new clip-on microphone. How're they doin'? The consensus: not particularly well. 'Literally doing ANYTHING but his job,' one person commented on Mr. Adams's pull-up video, receiving 2,500 likes. Two comments on the Kosciuszko Bridge video derided Mr. Cuomo, whose father also served as governor, as a 'nepo baby.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
