Hamptons Life

A lost-wallet sign outside Starbucks in Bridgehampton.

Banking on morality and a good deed, there’s an out-of-luck and fiscally conservative person searching for their wallet in the Hamptons. Following the traditional I’ve-lost-something route, homemade signs have been posted and a reward is on the table. The reward, though, seems a bit thin, so to speak.

The famed Monster of Montauk.

A photograph of what people have been calling a "sea monster"—a rodent-like animal with a beak—has created quite a stir on the East End. Four government biologists contacted by Plum were unable to identify the species of the animal from its photo and came to the conclusion that "no such creature exists," putting forth the possibility that the photo may have been doctored. But a graphics specialist at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services calls the photo—if it were doctored—a "really good Photoshop job."

As much as we’re going to miss your smiling face in the Hamptons, Plum wants to send you away … for the weekend. Plum Telluride is giving away two VIP tickets to the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival. And not only will you experience the best of the blues in one of the most picturesque places in the country, but roundtrip airfare to Montrose airport on Delta Airlines, transportation from the airport to the hotel with Telluride Express, and a four-night stay at the luxurious, five-star Lumiere hotel in Telluride are included. Who would have thought the blues could make you so happy?
