The allure of the Hamptons during the summer is undeniable, drawing in vacationers from all over looking to unwind and relax. However, recent data shared by DoorDash reveals a different side to summer in the Hamptons. While the expected rise in rosé orders was noted, there was also a surprising uptick in orders for laptop accessories like wireless mouse and keyboards. Could this indicate a trend towards ‘quiet vacationing’ and taking advantage of flexible work arrangements? With the convenience of DoorDash delivery, Hampton-goers are able to make the most of their summer workations by having everything they need for both work and play delivered right to their door.
Aside from work-related items, DoorDash also saw an increase in orders for beauty staples such as eyeliner, concealer, brow gel, and self-tanning products. Whether it’s for weekday deliveries or weekend indulgences, the trend towards self-care and looking good while out in the Hamptons is on the rise. Additionally, DoorDash reported a significant increase in alcohol purchases, with a 290% rise in beer, hard seltzer, wine, and more. Spirits were the top pick, with vodka and tequila leading the pack. Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon were the preferred wine choices among Hampton-goers, indicating a preference for quality libations during summer celebrations.
Despite the lack of major fast food chains in the Hamptons, DoorDash found that late-night munchies were still a popular choice among summer residents. With a 118% spike in late-night orders between 9pm-4am, items like fries, nuggets, and chicken sandwiches were among the top picks. Speedway, open until midnight, became the latest option for essentials like alcohol, ice cream, and chips. And for breakfast, New Yorkers stuck to their roots with the classic bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich reigning supreme as the most ordered breakfast item. East Hampton’s Brekkie Bagels may be on DoorDash, but nothing beats the experience of waiting in line at the iconic Original Goldberg’s Famous Bagels for a traditional breakfast treat.
Overall, the data provided by DoorDash offers a fascinating insight into the trends and preferences of those visiting the Hamptons during the summer months. From workations and online shopping to beauty staples and late-night munchies, it seems that Hampton-goers are looking to make the most of their summer experience with the help of convenient delivery services. Whether it’s indulging in quality alcohol, satisfying late-night cravings, or sticking to beloved breakfast staples, the Hamptons continue to be a destination where luxury and leisure go hand in hand.
