This past Saturday, I finally checked something off my Hamptons summer bucket list: attending a Dan’s Papers event. Known for throwing some of the most sought-after parties of the season—from the sophisticated Rosé Soirée to the festive Red, White & Brews—Dan’s events are the heartbeat of summer out East. And let me tell you, Dan’s Grill Hampton was the perfect introduction.
Puppies and Porsche — RAND Luxury Races into the Hamptons with Exclusive Auto Affair
I had the absolute pleasure of attending the 2025 Hamptons Concours, presented by Bradford Rand of RAND Luxury, and it was nothing short of spectacular.

As someone who has seen Sleep No More three times, wandered the jazz-aged world of The Great Gatsby immersive show, and gotten lost in Alice’s dreamy world in Then She Fell, I can say with some confidence: immersive theater isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I chase.
