East Hampton hotspot Georgica to close after Labor Day

After six years, Georgica restaurant in East Hampton will close after Labor Day.

The eatery and lounge has been an East End staple for several summers and regularly hosted major charity events, such as model Jessica White’s Angel Wings Foundation’s annual gala. Patrons over the years included Russell Simmons, Jon Bon Jovi, Chace Crawford and Molly Simms.

Chef Seth Levine ran the kitchen since opening in 2009, but he landed a new gig as chef of the newly revamped Gurney’s Inn in Montauk this summer.

Georgica owner Antonio Fuccio will announce the closing through a newsletter to his customers on Monday, breaking the news ahead of the busy holiday weekend to give his regulars a chance for one last weekend blowout at the restaurant.
