Husband and wife team Julian Cavin and Martine Langatta have partnered with music mogul Jonny Shipes to open Babe’s Diner, “A Finer Diner,” located at 51 Division Street, Sag Harbor.
The restaurant will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is scheduled to open in mid-May. Babe’s Diner will offer all of the diner classics made with locally sourced ingredients. Dishes will include five types of breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, cheeseburgers, tuna melts, triple-decker club sandwiches, Greek and Caesar salads, and three flavors of homemade milkshakes: chocolate, vanilla, and banana.
Julian Cavin stated, “In addition to our normal service, Babe’s will be hosting restaurants and creators from New York City and around the country for tasting menu-style dinners during peak summer weekends. We are looking to curate a family-friendly spot during the day, with a supper club in the evening worthy of hiring a babysitter.”
First up at the “Sag Harbor Supper Club” will be Eric Huang of Pecking House and Eleven Madison Park fame during Memorial Day weekend, on Friday, May 22, and Saturday, May 23. Reservations will be available on Resy for the supper club only. PJ Monte of Monte’s Fine Foods and Monte’s at the Manor will preview his new concept, “Sunday Sauce with PJ Monte,” on Sunday, May 24.
Martine Langatta stated, “At Babe’s Diner, we pride ourselves on our kid-friendly menu. Perfectly situated on Division Street, families can eat-in or take our sandwiches and milkshakes to-go and enjoy a short walk to Marine Park or Long Wharf.”
Julian Cavin is the proprietor of Greenberg’s Bagels in BedStuy and the West Village. He is also the cofounder of Brooklyn Best iced tea and lemonade. Jonny Shipes is an East Hampton-born and New York City-based record executive and entrepreneur, specializing in music and comedy.
Anthony Petty, formerly of Almond, Topping Rose House, and most recently the Amagansett Golf Club, will be overseeing the kitchen. Babe’s will also be available on all delivery apps. The restaurant will be open seven days a week from 7 AM to 10 PM.
