Beautiful studio with so much to offer. Lots of educational classes and fun events. I have not yet experienced them all! I have been going to House of Wellness for almost 2 years. Have enjoyed all the classes and instructors. Besides feeling amazing and enjoying myself with new experiences, it carries over to my daily life. Positive attitude, caring and compassion are all felt at House of Wellness. There is a lot of information shared among the instructors and fellow yoga folks. Just stop rushing around and take care of yourself! You can walk in all wound up and leave so happy that you came. Namaste! PS Kara the owner and wonderful instructor sees to your comfort and gives you her personal attention. Beautiful inside and out~

The Docent was very informative and enthusiastic about sharing the information on Pollock-Krasner. The space gives you a feeling of what it was like to live and work together. Much smaller studio than I would have imagined for such a large figure.

The Lieber Museum is located in a beautiful building on Old Stone Highway. If you're in East Hampton, New York for any reason, take time out to see the most intricate, unique and beautifully designed evening handbags you're ever likely to see. They are wearable art. First Ladies, royalty and many celebrities have bought these handbags or have had one made for them. The story of the designer and how she came to develop this business is so interesting and is emblematic of one of the many privileges of living in America.
8. Custom House Museum

Reviewed By WendyZi - Westborough, United States
We loved our visit to the Custom House in Sag Harbor. My husband and I saw it as we were walking to the Whaling Museum next door and decided to stop in. We were a group of four, my husband and I with two teen children. We had a wonderful personal tour with a guide who knew the history, the artifacts and also the area. We had several great conversations about the house and our visit, and we saw things that really brought to life the 17th century life of an official of the newly established United States. The bedrooms and the kitchen were particularly interesting (the peaches!) and the details of the dining room china and furniture really set this gem of a museum apart. Loved our guide and we continue to recommend this to friends who are visiting Sag Harbor.

Lots of people even in February. The tasting is $20 but not when you are driving . 5000 cases of wine per year. Nice wooden carving done by the owner.
