Who's in, who's out?

What's up with Gluckman???
He went from three restaurants to none over the course of the week. The police shut down Bamboo Wednesday night, who forgot to renew the liquor license?
How much did Gluckman pocket from selling the lease on the Lodge and why didn't The Laundry buy it back? By the way who is the buyer that thinks we need another Italian restaurant in town? Word is that the Bostwick's location will not open this season due to a skirmish with the East Hampton building department. True?

Blue Parrot is said to reopen March 25th. Rumor has it Renee has been redecorating. Will it be more Hampton chic than Montauk surf shack? Maybe the owners will dig deeper into their pockets and offer free chips and salsa. It is a Mexican restaurant after all.

On the Montauk scene, local favorite West Lake Clam & Chowder House will be reopening this season despite threats of non lease renewal. Word has it the both Aqua and Sunset Saloon are reincarnating under new ownership. Will Surf Lodge reopen this summer? Locals would rather they leave for good, at least the ones who spray painted "Get Out" on the building that is.

Still no word on Fiddler's Cove, but it must be hard to get a bar stool at Wolfie's these days.

How will Wainscott attract business this year? Georgica will need a new reality t.v. celebrity to attract customers and what about Rugosa? Are they still open?

The Starr Room location looks like it will fall down before it's reopened. How much time is left on the wet license anyway? Speaking of wet licenses, didn't Pacific East's expire already?
