Namiro Sushi opens year-round restaurant in Southampton
Appetizers at Namiro Sushi in Southampton, New York A brand new sushi spot just debuted in The Hamptons. Namiro opened its doors in Southampton Village in late May 2025, and plan to be open seven days a week throughout the summer season, and serve dinner year round. The project is a new hospitality venture for music executives Alexis Spangler, Gary Spangler, and Jon Lewis. The trio partnered with Kenneth Lockard of KRL Construction, known for building restaurant spaces across the East End, to create Namiro. 'Namiro is about bringing people together over incredible food—without pretense,' said Alexis Spangler. 'We wanted to create a place with thoughtful design, bold flavors, and the kind of energy that feels celebratory any night of the week.' Named after Osaka-style pressed-sushi, Namiro's menu includes their signature sushi, plus nagiri, sashimi, and plenty of hot dishes. Several plant-based options are avaialble as well. The meal starts with table snacks including yuzu salt edamame, rock shrimp in aioli, lamb chops with mustard miso, and a tuna tartare with watermelon and ginger. Prime skirt steak at Namiro Sushi Japanese-inspired salads include a wasabi caesar with milk bread croutons and parmesan nori crisps, and a sesame chicken salad. Hot entrees range from miso cod to Korean fried chicken to a vegetarian mushroom hot pot. A noodle menu, including a "lobster udon ramen" and a yakitori menu round out the hot options, followed by classic and inventive maki (priced at $15-$26), plus sashimi and nigiri. The signature Namiro is a pressed sushi made with spicy tuna, fresh tuna, avocado, and tempura flakes. To drink, pan-Asian inspired cocktails starring ingredients like yuzu, lemongrass, and Thai basil; plus local wines, and a sake list. Namiro isn't the only sushi spot opening out east this summer. Sushi by Boū's Westhampton omakase counter has a beachy energy Sushi by Boū is opening in the Hamptons as a pop-up for the summer 2025 season inside Sydney's 'Taylor' Made Cuisine in Westhampton Beach. This will be the New York City-based chain's 25th location. 'Bringing our flagship Sushi by Boū to the Hamptons is an exciting milestone for us. Our intimate dining experience, featuring high-quality sushi, offers guests an unforgettable culinary escape. We look forward to becoming a part of the Hamptons' vibrant dining scene,' said founder Michael Sinensky. Maguro at Sushi by Boū Sushi by Boū offers a 12-course edomae-style omakase in 75 minutes.

Londoners are being 'priced out' of the Cotswolds housing market
Londoners are being priced out of properties in the Cotswolds according to new figures. Residents from the UK capital accounted for just nine per cent of those looking to purchase a home in the Cotswolds last year. This research by Hamptons shows a decline from a peak of 14 per cent back in 2021 showing the exodus from London to have shrunk in recent years. The Telegraph argues this is because they are being priced out with average house prices in the Cotswolds rising 56 per cent since 2014.

(Image: Unsplash) This is twice the growth recorded in London over the last decade, which stands at 28 per cent. 'Londoners haven't had the housing market on their side for the best part of a decade,' says David Fell, of Hamptons. This coincides with an influx of Americans in the area with many making the trip over the pond to live in the Cotswolds. "It's terribly beautiful. The scenery is glorious," said local store owner and Boston native Jesse D'Ambrosi, who moved to the area five years ago, while talking with Mail Online.

"It's also comparable to going upstate, though it's a bit more rural and bucolic." This notion of exclusivity has been bolstered by the presence of several private member clubs in the area. Cotswolds Council leader Joe Harris added that US nationals are "all over" the Cotswolds.

Fears of a US recession force ultra-wealthy to bail on rentals in popular summer hotspot
The rich aren't biting this year — sparking concerns about the state of the economy. The super-wealthy, who flock to the Hamptons every summer to live in the lap of luxury, aren't spending tens of thousands per month to do so anymore. A rental crisis has hit the Eastern end of Long Island, as mansion rentals are down 30 percent this year, according to CNBC. And the luxury rental market that is usually booked every summer doesn't show any signs of improving. New York City residents — who make up the majority of Hamptonites — will likely miss their infinity pools, tennis courts, and ocean views. For ultra high-end rentals, brokers say their business is down between 50 percent and 75 percent. While some people may simply be holding out for better deals, brokers say renters are concerned about economic instability. 'People are holding on to their money,' said Enzo Morabito, head of the Hamptons-based Enzo Morabito Team at Douglas Elliman. 'They don't like uncertainty.' For example, one palatial seven-bedroom estate in Bridgehampton, which normally rents for $350,000 from July 20 through Labor Day, is still sitting empty, CNBC reported. Another 11,000-square-foot mansion in Bridgehampton has slashed its summer price tag from $450,000 to $375,000 in a desperate bid to lure renters. Experts say some would-be renters are simply holding out for last-minute bargains or have been turned off by the late season frost in the area. But brokers warn there's deeper trouble. Economic jitters, a turbulent stock market, and Donald Trump's tariffs are forcing wallets shut. The crisis marks a sharp reversal from January and February, when rental inquiries were flying in. But by spring — and with the arrival of tariff chaos — it was nothing but crickets. Luxury broker Gary DePersia of My Hampton Homes says what he's seeing is unprecedented, and that usually, the best homes go early. The super-wealthy who flock to the Hamptons every summer to live in the lap of luxury aren't spending tens of thousands per month to do so anymore 'This year, I have great rentals available in every town, from Southampton to Montauk,' he says. Some nervous landlords have started slashing prices by up to 20 percent. They're also offering concessions like shorter stays instead of full-summer commitments. Morabito warns that homeowners who rely on summer rentals in order to pay a year's long mortgage may now be rethinking their investments. He represents several homeowners with large waterfront properties that typically would have been rented by March or April, but that are still available. Despite the bad news, some brokers remain optimistic. Judi Desiderio of William Raveis Real Estate believes the combination of 'dark noise' out there financially and geopolitically, along with bad weather, was not good. But she thinks that last minute takers will show up and predicts everything will be gone by July 1. The rich and famous, like Christie Brinkley (pictured above), flock to Hamptons hot spots like Surf Lodge starting on Memorial Day weekend Meanwhile, the sales market in the Hamptons is also down by 12 percent. But, sales are still happening, despite the median home price hitting $2 million, a new record. One broker is closing on a big deal. 'I just had two Canadians put in a bid on an $18 million house — sight unseen,' Morabito said. Still, the rentals sit. 'I think a number of people have deferred decisions, or they weren't sure what they were going to do, go to Europe or the West Coast,' DePersia said. Famous residents of the Hamptons are heading to far more exclusive locales this year, too. Many celebrities and the super rich are instead making their way overseas. Jeff Lichtenstein, broker and CEO at Echo Fine Properties in Jupiter, Florida, told the Daily Mail that 'the uber-wealthy are changing it up this year,' adding that he's hearing about more people buying vacation residences in Portugal and heading to Spain on glamorous trips. These moneyed folks are visiting 'anywhere from Lagos to Carvoeiro overlooking the cliffs on the Atlantic to ultra new golf course communities within minutes of the Faro airport,' Lichtenstein said.

Is TikTok chef Meredith Hayden Gen Z's Martha Stewart? The Wishbone Kitchen influencer has hosted dinner parties with Joe Jonas and Hasan Minhaj – but why was she upset with Bon Appétit?
Meredith Hayden, a chef and social media influencer, amassed millions of followers on TikTok by sharing videos of herself preparing meals for a wealthy family in the Hamptons. She's since become so popular that she's a regular at hosting dinner parties for celebrities like Joe Jonas and Hasan Minhaj. She also made headlines earlier this year when she accused popular food magazine Bon Appétit of ripping her off. The publication announced a new series called 'Dinner with Friends' – the name Hayden first used for her own series. So what else do we know about the influencer who's been dubbed the Gen Z Martha Stewart Her love of cooking was inspired by her mum Wishbone Kitchen's Meredith Hayden last autumn. Photo: @wishbonekitchen/Instagram Advertisement In an interview in People in 2022, Hayden told the outlet that her love of cooking, as well as her social media username @wishbonekitchen, was inspired by her mum. 'The inspiration behind me getting into cooking has always been my mum. She was a fabulous cook growing up. And once a week, she would make us a roast chicken for dinner, and she would always save the wishbone when she would carve the chicken,' Hayden said. 'After dinner, we would do the thing where you pull the wishbone in half, and whoever gets the bigger half gets to make a wish. I just have really fond memories of being in the kitchen with my mum.' She worked at Condé Nast Meredith Hayden previously worked at Condé Nast, and had hopes of becoming a recipe developer at Bon Appétit. Photo: @wishbonekitchen/Instagram Before 29-year-old Hayden became a professional home chef, she worked in marketing at Condé Nast – but her passion was always cooking. Hayden would take culinary evening courses at the Institute of Culinary Education, hoping to eventually become a recipe developer at Bon Appétit. In 2020, she landed her first gig as a personal cook for designer Joseph Altuzarra and his husband Seth Weissman, per the New York Post. This is also when Hayden began her Instagram account @WishboneKitchen. Condé Nast is the parent company of Bon Appétit, so it seemed ironic that Hayden had tried to transfer to a job at the foodie magazine before she says it ripped off her idea. 'You rejected me to work there for two years,' she said when calling out the publication for the 'Dinner with Friends' controversy. Finding TikTok fame

EXCLUSIVE Smug reason billionaires are boycotting the Hamptons as they flee to new summer haven
The rich and famous typically start flocking to the Hamptons on Memorial Day weekend - but this year, they're heading to far more exclusive locales. Rather than head out to the Long Island's east end, celebrities and the super rich are making their way overseas.
