€10 for two cones of gelato and worth every penny! This tiny shop in the Marais serves up flavors (parfums) such as Fior di Latte, Crema del Pozzetto and Pistacchio du Roi de Sicile. Does it really matter what each one is? Just order one. You’ll love it. 39, rue du Roi de Sicile, Paris, […]

Billy’s Bakery
An enticing sugar scent wafts into the street, making it impossible bypass this 1940’s-style bakery. The cupcakes taste virtually identical to Magnolia’s – perfect. In addition to cupcakes such as buttercream, chocolate, red velvet and banana, Billy’s bakes a variety of cookies, cakes, pies, cheesecakes, muffins and loaves. Since 2003, Billy’s has been a fixture […]
Bostwick’s Chowder House
This casual seafood restaurant is the Montauk Highway outpost of the original Bostwick’s on Three Mile Harbor. The food is fresh and unfussy. Go for a post-beach late-afternoon lunch in order to score a seat. www.bostwickschowderhouse.com 77 Pantigo Road, East Hampton NY
Lunch (The Lobster Roll)
A quintessential roadside seafood shack since 1965, The Lobster Roll Restaurant in Amagansett serves up one of the best lobster rolls on the East End. It remains #1 on my go-to list. www.lobsterroll.com 1980 Montauk Highway, Amagansett, NY
Tutto Il Giorno
This Southampton annex of Gabby Karan’s popular Sag Harbor eatery offers fresh, satisfying pastas and local vegetables. I had the ravioli with buffalo milk ricotta and my friend, Lisa, had pacceri with a slow-cooked ragu. We shared the sautéed kale and a strawberry-rhubarb torte, which were typical but well-done nonetheless. The interior is striking and […]
Tate’s Bake Shop
Best. Cookies. Anywhere. What is it is about those crispy, buttery chocolate chip cookies that make them so much better than any other? My insatiable sweet tooth and I have been trying to figure it out for years. In addition to visiting the mother ship in Southampton, the cookies can be found at gourmet grocers […]
Little Red
A new bistro with a covered outdoor patio, Little Red has an appealing New American menu featuring basic, local dishes. I had a lobster roll, which contained a satisfying amount of meat and was served on an untoasted roll with a side of thick, hand-cut chips. A British dining companion noted that the linguini with […]
Golden Pear
This Hamptons café has been a beach community fixture for over 20 years. It offers generous sized salads, sandwiches and baked goods as well as daily hot entrees. I especially love starting my day with the scrambled eggs and cheddar on a freshly baked croissant or the cinnamon infused Belgian waffle and one of their […]
75 Main
This American Bistro with basic fare is my favorite go-to place in Southampton because the menu’s varied, simple offerings will satisfy any group. This week, I went with a party of five and we were all pleased with various grilled seafood dishes such as tuna and tilapia. Try to get a sidewalk table for entertaining […]
Dubai Palm
Inexpensive Middle Eastern food and one of the few decent vegetarian options in Luxembourg. The food is not memorable, but it’s good for a reasonably priced sit-down venue. 3 Avenue Monterey, Luxembourg
