Yes, it’s finally time to try the summer's newest crop of eateries. Well, most of them: some, like the Tauk at Trail’s End, aren’t open yet. Some of these are established restaurants under new management/new chef, and some are under the same management/ownership and have moved. (Some prominent spots, like the former Harlow/B. Smith's, are still empty. Same goes for the "cursed" Napeague spot that was most recently @Bernie's.) And some new eateries--like the Montauk outpost of Tutto il Giorno--are still just rumors.

More varied options this year than in previous years: there’s seafood, of course, Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, and good old American.
