🌱 East Hampton Daily: O-Japanese-Italian Fusion Is A Hit + Film Fest

Morning, friends. Diane Witek here with your Monday edition of the East Hampton Daily, filled with all the things you need to know about what's going on in town. Let's have at it.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny. High: 73, low: 60.

Here are the top stories in East Hampton today:

1. A Japanese-Italian fusion menu may sound unusual, and it is, but the taste is like no other. O by Kissaki‘s invited a bunch of local writers and their "dates" to experience the new menu. Without hesitation, at the end of the meal, an Italian with "degrees in culinary and nutrition" who accompanied one of the writers, ranked the meal "among the top five she’s ever had." Sounds like we have a new trend in the Hamptons. (Dan's Papers)
2. Need something to do during the week? Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will screen independent and foreign films every Tuesday and Wednesday night, from June 7 to August 31. Check out the list of movies that will be presented and be sure to bring along a friend. (Dan's Papers)
3. Just days after 19 children and two adults were killed in the Uvalede, Texas school shooting, the Greenport Fire Department hosted a "mass casualty exercise" on the playing fields at the Greenport High School. 24 agencies were involved, which included "local ambulance companies and fire departments converging at the scene and sending crews and equipment." More exercises like these should be held all over Long Island, which in itself, is a sad statement. (Patch)
4. According to Dan's Papers, a guilty verdict has been reached in the trial of Stuart Conklin, a railroad employee whose negligence caused a Long Island Rail Road train crash because of a broken track switch that he reported overtime for inspecting it. Conklin's sentence could be four years in prison. (Dan's Papers)

• I LOVE MONTAUK: "'Montauk is musical' 🎶 ❤️ Joe Delia Music ! These rockers were playing various types of gigs, separately and apart, locally and internationally until late February 2020. When things shut down, each turned to writing songs." (I LOVE MONTAUK via Facebook)
