Thank you Verizon. You are good guys
Feh. The Hamptons are very overrated. I’ve been there, as my wife’s friend has a house there that she inherited from her grandparents. Everything is hideously expensive, the people are snobs and the scenery isn’t even all that pretty. If you like going to the beach, which many frum people don’t do for tznius reasons, then the Hamptons are OK. You can have just as much of a good time, perhaps better, in the Catskills. The Catskills region is much cooler in the summer and the Hamptons have a lot of mosquitoes. I think the Hamptons are popular because people like to say that they’re going to the Hamptons. It sounds trendy.
