Part-time Southampton resident and author Wendy Lubovich reveals the Hamptons’ secret spots in her new book, 111 Places in the Hamptons That You Must Not Miss ($20, Emons), which hit shelves in early June. "This is the book I’ve been searching for but never found," she says. "It’s filled with all the hidden, unique and little-known places on the East End. These are the places that reveal the character of the Hamptons and the North Fork—the ones you can’t wait to tell your friends about."
