Celebrate Father’s Day with Food, Fun & Festive Sips Across the East End

Nothing says “Thank You Dad” like a special brunch or dinner together! Treat the special men in your life to some delicious eats with the Father’s Day happenings plus some other fun East End to-dos below.

Summer on the East End wouldn’t be the same without a glass of rosé or martini in hand! Léon 1909 on Shelter Island has the perfect solution to make that dream a reality, thanks to their Beverage Director Gillian Georges’ rethinking of how to enjoy both cocktails. In honor of National Rosé Day on June 15 and National Martini Day on June 19, she has crafted three striking cocktails that capture the spirit of the season with sophistication and flair. Sip on a Rosé Bébé, featuring a sparkling French rosé, raspberry-rhubarb syrup and acid-corrected lemon for a crisp, lively twist that’s both seasonal and refreshing. Why only drink your rosé when you can eat it too? Gillian has created a Bébé Gelée which is an elegant spoonful of sparkling rosé and elderflower gelée that turns rosé into something unforgettable. For those who love a good martini, The Olive Martini will hit the spot offering vodka washed in bouquet de garni-infused olive oil, stirred with vermouth bianco and finished with a blistered olive for a savory, herbaceous and deeply nuanced cocktail. Reservations are recommended and can be made by visiting their website!
