Almond in Bridgehampton continues its famous “Artists & Writers” dinner series on Monday, November 2, at 6 PM, featuring author Emily Weitz.
Weitz first connected with the East End arts scene as a journalist, but has always used creative writing as an expressive outlet. She’s published articles in The New York Times and Vice Magazine and personal essays in Longreads and Nourish Magazine, and is a regular contributor to the Sag Harbor Express. In recent years, her writing has taken a new form through songwriting.
In 2026, she and her band, M Takes the Mic, released an original song on the 15th of every month. The culminating songbook, “No Song Left Behind,” features the potent lyrics of fourteen songs, along with a link to listen. This evening at Almond will be a writer’s take, examining lyrics as the spine of the songs. She will weave storytelling, reading, and a bit of interactive singing into the night.
A three-course, family-style meal will be served with one glass of wine or a draft beer for $55, plus tax and gratuity. Reservations are required and can be made online or by calling the restaurant directly at 631-537-5665.
