Hamptons Verified is an independent, editor-verified guide to the Hamptons and the North Fork — restaurants, beaches, nightlife, wine, and everything happening this weekend. Our readers are here to decide where to eat, swim, and spend. We sell exactly two placements, both defined by our editorial-independence policy, and nothing else.

Featured listing

Your existing listing carries a quiet Featured badge and moves to the front of its section. Featured listings are capped at two per section, so the page never turns into an advertorial. The listing itself — the write-up, the verdict, the facts — stays exactly as our editors wrote it. A place we would not recommend on its own merits cannot buy its way in, and closed or broken venues are never eligible.

Newsletter sponsorship

The Monday email is the week's East End events, verified — every listing checked, dated, and linked to its source — sent every Monday of the year. Each issue carries one sponsor slot, labeled Presented by — a short message from your business at the top of the issue. One sponsor per issue, always labeled, never disguised as editorial.

We publish only real, verifiable audience numbers — subscriber counts come from the live list, never projections. Ask and we'll show you exactly where the audience stands today.

The rules

These are not negotiable, and they are why a placement here is worth having:

• Verdicts are not for sale. Paying never changes what we write, where you rank editorially, or whether we recommend you at all.
• Sponsored placement is always labeled. Featured and Presented by badges appear on every paid placement, every time.
• No clutter.We do not run display ads or pop-ups — your placement is the only commercial thing on the page. We measure our own traffic with standard analytics (that's how we can show you real audience numbers), but we never sell reader data.

Rates

Both placements are a seasonal flat rate — no auctions, no per-click accounting. Write for the current rate card and we will send it back the same day.

Ask for the rate card

Choose “Partnership or advertising” on the contact form and we will send it over. If you spot a paid placement that feels out of place, we want to hear that too.
