Montauk: Kite Boarding, Beach, Lobster Rolls

Montauk used to be the anti-Hamptons.  In the past two years, it has evolved into an extension.  Cynthia Rowley holds regular events at her Montauk boutique.  The Montauk Yacht Club and the Surf Lodge are now trendy destinations for mobile Manhattanites...sigh.

What happened to the days of rundown old condos?  They're still there, but no under the age of 40 are staying there.  Oh well, my favorite spots are holding their ground.  

If you're not following the Hamptons old-guard to Della Famina and Citarella, chow down at my favorites:  They happen to all be in Wainscott, NY on the way out to the End...Lobster rolls at the Seafood Shop, giant cookies at Levain Bakery and heart-stopping ribs at Townline BBQ.
The beaches are all but deserted (yes!).  Kite-boarders rule the waves in the ocean.  Hubby took a few lessons (at a much quieter inlet).  He'll join the big boys soon...
