Welcome to the latest offering from the Curbed Hamptons Listage Department, where everyone loves a good countdown. With rain on the horizon, this week we take a look at what all of you displaced beach goers can do when a little precipitation sullies your weekend plans. You can thank us on Monday.
10) What: Gallery/Museum Hop
Where: To name a few: Vered, East Hampton; Pollock-Krasner House, Springs; Parrish Art Museum, Southampton
Why: Warhol's MJ portrait may be off the block, but there is plenty of other art to be seen and had throughout the East End.
9) What: Go Antiquing
Where: English Country Antiques, Bridgehampton; Georgica Creek Antiques, Wainscott, and many more...
Why: Who doesn't like a funky old lamp? Get inspired to redecorate by hitting a few of the East End's endless antique emporiums.
8) What: Visit the Hampton Designer Showhouse
Where: 179 David's Lane, Water Mill
