Most summers in Westhampton Beach feel like a rerun in the best way. The Farmers Market opens on the Village Green, the gazebo concerts start, the movie projector hums to life on the Great Lawn, and Main Street looks more or less like it did last August. This summer breaks that pattern in one specific place: the block between the gazebo and Sunset Avenue.
Two anchor food openings have landed within 15 addresses of each other, one restaurant has quietly reinvented its evenings, and the Performing Arts Center is running one of its densest programming stretches in recent memory. The recurring rituals still anchor the week. The difference is what happens between them.
The two Main Street openings worth noticing
Main Street turnover in Westhampton Beach is usually a slow drip. This year it arrived in a burst.
