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.

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.'

As mentioned above, the hit drama is welcoming plenty of new faces to the mix, and several other details have already emerged surrounding the show, including possible directions the story might take. Along with setting the show's fall timeslot, new casting, and more, we're breaking down everything you need to know about what's to come. When is High Potential Season 2 going to premiere? ABC previously teased that High Potential's second season would arrive in the fall of 2025, airing in the 10/9c timeslot on Tuesdays following the network's other hit, Dancing With the Stars, which will air in the 8/7c slot. In the latest update from ABC, High Potential Season 2 will officially return on Tuesday, September 16. Does High Potential Season 2 have a trailer?

In the meantime, ABC has shared a fun behind-the-scenes video featuring Olson and costars at the police station. Check it out below: Who will star in High Potential Season 2?

Howey will portray Jesse Wagner, the LAPD's new precinct captain. Described as a politically savvy person, Jesse knows how to wear an expensive suit and oozes charm.

Actor son of murder-suicide victim issues stepdad funeral plea
An actor whose mother was the victim of a murder-suicide in France has urged her friends not to attend his stepdad's funeral. Callum Kerr, who appeared in Hollyoaks and Netflix's Virgin River, said it would be "inappropriate" for the memory of his mother, Dawn Searle, to be associated with her husband Andrew Searle. The couple's bodies were discovered by a neighbour at their country home in the Aveyron region on 6 February. The prosecutor in charge of the case previously told the BBC it was murder followed by suicide and there was no evidence that another person was involved. The statement, issued on Kerr's Instagram account on behalf of the actor and his sister Amanda, comes more than six months after the couple were found dead. It is unclear why it has taken so long for Mr Searle's body to be released by the French authorities or when his funeral is scheduled to take place. Deaths of British couple in France treated as murder-suicide Actor's grief after mum and husband die in France French prosecutors confirm how British couple died Mr Kerr, who is also a country singer in the US, and his sister said that while the investigation into the deaths was ongoing they "cannot ignore the circumstances as they stand". The statement continued: "For this reason, we must respectfully but firmly request that our mother not be included in any way in the funeral arrangements being made for Andrew." They urged friends of their mother's not to attend the ceremony and asked people not to share photographs of Mr and Mrs Searle together. The statement concluded: "It would be inappropriate for her memory to be associated with a service honouring the man who, based on all available evidence, may have been responsible for her death. "We ask for understanding, privacy and respect as we continue to grieve and seek justice for our mum." Mrs Searle's body was found in the garden of the couple's property in the hamlet of Les Pesquiès, with severe wounds to her head. Mr Searle's body was found inside their home, about an hour north of Toulouse. Police were alerted to the incident by a neighbour who had gone to check on them when they failed to turn up for a planned dog walk. Post-mortem examinations confirmed Mrs Searle suffered "multiple blows to the head with a blunt and sharp-edged object" while Mr Searle died from hanging. Mrs Searle, 56, grew up in Eyemouth in the Scottish Borders, and Mr Searle, 62, was originally from England. They previously lived in Musselburgh, near Edinburgh, and married in France in 2023. Prosecutors said they had lived in the Aveyron region for five years. According to his LinkedIn page, Mr Searle previously worked in financial crime prevention at companies including Standard Life and Barclays Bank.
