Summer Intel: Montauk Musts

by Natasha Wolff | July 12, 2013 12:00 am

Best friends and new Yorkers Yasha Wallin, a magazine writer and editor, and Emily Anderson, an art director, spend almost every summer weekend in Montauk exploring the area. All their amazing intel ends up in the duo’s two-year-old black-and-white broad sheet The Usual[1], where they cover cool Montauk residents (artists, surfers, skaters and more) and happenings. Here, their top five.

MOBY DICK’S
“If strong cocktails and a spectacular view of the harbor are your thing, we’ll see you at this chill, year-old seaside watering hole. We can’t get here often enough.” mobydicksmontauk.com[2]

THE PEOPLE’S BOOT CAMP
“Held on the lawn at Ruschmeyer’s, these classes, taught by Hampton’s native Adam Rosante, offer the prettiest setting ever for a much-needed ass kicking.” Thepeoplesbootcamp.com[3]

TURF
“Housed in an Airstream trailer in the parking lot at Ditch Plains, what started as Zach Lynd’s marketing-thesis project is now home to one of Montauk’s most sought-after lobster rolls. What’s better than buttery lobster, the sun on your back, and the ocean?” andturf.com[4]

MELET MERCANTILE’S ANNUAL SALE
“Eclectic collector Bob Melet’s four-year-old shop is a great spot for people watching- both Bruce Weber and Waris Ahluwalia are customers- and during one weekend every summer, he invites the public over for discounts, where you can score everything form old copies of Playboy to samurai swords.” 631-668-9080

JIMMY’S DING REPAIR
“We’re at Jimmy’s watching our surf boards get bandaged back to life more than we’re actually in the water. He also has a reputation for taking his sweet time. Not to be missed is his annual BBQ and board sale.”
