Main Street in East Hampton is an avenue of dreams, as long as your dreams consist of having five Calypso boutiques on one block and a deli that serves sandwiches like the East Hampton (chicken salad of the day), the Southampton (turkey) and the Water Mill (grilled veggies). Or if your dreams, like ours, include characters like Roland Nivelais, a fashion designer who "just doesn't get sportswear" and who came directly from riding his horse, pronounced hohss, who is named Rigot Le Faire. Laurel Ptak and I cruised the strip looking for those East Hamptonites who "expressed themselves through their style."
