There’s the Hamptons summer everyone *thinks* they know – bottle service at Surf and firepit status at Gurney’s – and then there’s this: the highbrow-meets-hot-mess, upper-echelon social circuit of the East End. The kind where you’re sipping Whispering Angel in a baby blue gown at the Parrish Gala on Friday and gallivanting at polo matches at a Bridgehampton private estate on Saturday. Save it, bookmark it, send it to the share house GC… this is your bible to the best semi-secret, semi-ridiculous, entirely iconic events happening out east this summer.
