Our favorite pizza place - even though it is a little farther away than several other pizzerias in East Hampton. Located in the Cobalt section of town, it is 5.2 miles from the house. Wings, grinders, panini, salads, and of course, pizzas. We love the DaVinci special pizza. Before you go, check their website which often offers $2-$5 off coupons. https://www.davincicobalt.com/

Popular winery with live music most weekends. Indoor and outdoor seating. Although located on Route 66, the outdoor/music area is behind the main building, and back there you feel like you are out in the country.

Sightseeing
A wonderful, quirky place to visit that will appeal to adults and kids. Gillette was an actor and inventor. He designed the unusual features, ike a system of mirrors that allowed him to keep an eye on the rest of the house (and any guests staying there) from the master bedroom, a specially designed system of doorknobs and locks, and a train that circles the castle grounds. There are 47 doors in the building, and no two are alike. The grounds are great for hiking with wonderful views of the CT River. Tours are available daily 5/28/22 - 9/5/22 - get tickets online ahead of your visit to avoid disappointment. After your visit, consider taking the Chester Hadlyme ferry back and forth across the CT River. The castle is 16 miles from the house.
