Once thought of as a Summer-only playground for the well-heeled, the Hamptons tourist season has been extending to the Autumn months for quite some time. Spurned by a sluggish economy (and maybe the realization that Fall is awesome out here), more and more visitors are taking advantage of the deals?cheaper hotels, cheaper rentals?and events?Fall festivals, pumpkin picking, the film festival? that the East End offers this time of year. "But it's just like anything else good," according to Amagansett resident Jonathan Bloom, "it's only great until everyone else finds out about it." [WSJ]
