Past the glitz and glamour of the tony Hamptons lies Montauk, a once-sleepy fishing village determined to retain its charm. Formerly the stomping grounds of Teddy Roosevelt, and before that, a vast wilderness overseen by the indigenous Montaukett people, this easternmost point of Long Island — and of New York State — evokes a trove of delightful childhood memories for me. Seemingly endless family vacations were spent fishing off pristine Long Island beaches, coveting salt-water taffy from the candy shop at Gosman's Dock, watching yachts make their way in and out of Westlake Marina, learning how to eat a lobster.
