The Hamptons – towns and villages of East End Long Island NY named Southampton and East Hampton. The Hamptons have grown from a sleepy backyard summer spot that held small venue weekend product events and summer vacationing. Today’s Hamptons is a different animal with lavish Mecca multi event happenings thrown by well known personalities in leased multi-million dollar properties that bring socialites, celebrities and the new household named publishers, bloggers and vloggers visiting for the day or weekend and summer property owners looking for a good time.
