Hamptons Giveaway Winner's Unforgettable Montauk Weekend Adventure

Hamptons Giveaway Winner s Unforgettable Montauk Weekend Adventure

Summer is only over if you stop thinking about it. Last month, along with Eater and Pure Wow, we gave away a sweet, late August weekend getaway to Montauk. Ruschmeyer's provided the room; Uber provided the rides. New Yorker Stacey Franchina was the big winner. We caught up with her to hear how it went.

Are you the kind of person who usually wins things like weekend trips to the Hamptons in high season? Never!

How was Ruschmeyer's? Like summer camp for adults. It's a rustic oasis tucked in the woods, with a top-notch restaurant to boot.

What did you love about Montauk? The quaint, peaceful atmosphere during the day.
