East Hampton may be getting a Starbucks. Won't Graydon be disappointed! Won't the rest of East Hampton be disappointed! We're actually a bit surprised that there isn't a no-Starbucks zoning law. This has to be a major blow to all the city's hard work in ensuring that Main Street's fake gourmet shops run by large national corporations maintain their requisite small town facades. Expect an antique exterior and a name change to something vaguely European. "Maison Starbucks" or "Il Cafe Starbuci."
