After 22 years, the Bridgehampton institution World Pie abruptly closed its doors for good after the last pour on Sunday night. Loyal customers were shocked by word that the restaurant and Main Street building were sold. The off-market deal closed on Monday.
“It’s true,” says restaurateur Michael Mannino by phone on Tuesday evening when asked about the sale. “It’s bittersweet for me. We’ve had a 22-year run — it’s been a fantastic ride,” he says. “I’ve met a lot of great people, met a lot of great customers, got to work with a lot of great people.
“It was just time to move on,” he says. “It’s time to do something different.”

Landlords of seasonal rentals in the Hamptons can, legally, collect security and advance payments thanks to a law that rights an unintended consequence of earlier housing legislation reforms.
Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. announced last week that legislation he wrote to clarify that certain seasonal rentals are excluded from the provisions regulating deposits and advances for residential dwelling units under the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (HSTPA), has officially been signed into law.

Sculpture Artist Robert Hooke Lists His Waterfront Noyac Home for Nearly $10 Million
The Sag Harbor area home of international sculpture artist Robert Hooke was added to the market earlier this month. The property, totaling four acres, presents an opportunity for a waterfront compound on one of the last remaining buildable parcels of its kind in the area. It was listed at $9.5 million with the Atlantic Team at Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
“This compound like estate has been within the same family since the early 1970s. It’s really a multigenerational family’s dream and the possibilities here are endless,” says Hara Kang, who listed it with team members Justin Agnello and James Keough. “There’s room to build two large residences with pools and pool houses. The pond that sits directly along Little Peconic Bay is a standout feature that truly marks this a one-of-a-kind trophy property.”
