Did tonight's episode of "True Life: I'm Hustling in the Hamptons" make you long for the ocean breeze? Well, if you're headed out along Route 27 this summer, we've broken down the South Fork into four key areas and included some tips on things to do (or avoid, depending on your taste). So go ahead and fold your Calypso tunic, pack your Longchamp bag and make a res on the Hampton Jitney!
SOUTHAMPTON
What To Expect: The birthplace of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, this town lost some of its old world affluence as transplanted, club-hungry college alums started moving renting in years ago.
Social Scene: Most summer share-ers hit up hangouts like Dune Southampton (pictured right), La Playa or Pink Elephant. If you go, expect to see lots of Sperry Topsider-sporting "big-timers" handing over major bucks for bottle service.
Who You Might See: Aside from seas of tanned Yale alum in Polo shirts? New York Housewife Ramona Singer (a.k.a. "Crazy Eyes") has a house there!
BRIDGEHAMPTON
What To Expect: A classy and upscale town that has attracted notable residents like Madonna and Kelly Ripa. It's considerably less noisy than what you'll find in Southampton.
Social Scene: The yearly Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge (pictured right) draws in all the heavy hitters. If you want to fit in, men should don chinos and ladies should stay away from the sky-high stilettos. No faster way to spot a newbie than watching a young wannabe poke holes in the grass with her Louboutins.
EAST HAMPTON
What To Expect: Originally touted as the artist's colony, this wealthy beach town boasts tons of New Englandish charm and is known for its quality shopping and food.
Social Scene: The annual Hamptons International Film Festival (pictured right) attracts droves of Manhattanites and big players from the film industry.
Where To Eat: Nobu for dinner and Babette’s for breakfast. (Both are awesome places for hoity-toity people watching!)
WESTHAMPTON BEACH
What To Expect: This small town is actually considered to be a part of Southampton but often gets overshadowed by the lure of the other more popular areas. If you truly want to see how the rich and famous live, do some window (mansion) shopping along Dune Road.
Social Scene: The annual Hampton Hills Golf and Country Club in Westhampton (pictured right) is a celebrity tournament that raises money for various charities.
Where To Sun: If you’re there to visit the sand, Cupsogue Beach is a tried-and-true local spot.
