- The hip Sag Harbor taco joint K Pasa is doing their part to aid healthcare professionals at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital.

She transformed this pastime into a charitable project, Wölffer Girls, which sells fun, colorful tie-dye apparel online. 100% of proceeds go to Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center, a safe haven for children of working parents which provides food, online learning and home-delivered meals to senior citizens.
- Stoney Clover Lane’s whimsical destination patches are an ode to a myriad of Hamptons landmarks, like Gurney’s resorts and the Montauk lighthouse.
