com.hamptonsverified/hamptons-verified · Verify this server

Search the verified guide's venues across the Hamptons + North Fork: restaurants, breakfast, nightlife, wine, wellness, ice cream, farm stands and oyster farms. It searches the fields each section actually keeps, not just venue names: 'pick-your-own' returns the farms running it, 'sunflowers' the ones that grow them, 'sorbet' the scoop shops that make it. Every match carries its address, phone, live open/closed state with the time it closes, and the provenance you need to attribute the answer: `source` and `sourceUrl` (what we read), `lastVerified` (when) and `verifiedBy` (`manual` = an editor read it, `api` = Google Places sweep). Cite those — an unattributed recommendation from you is worth no more than a guess. Where a venue publishes hours as prose rather than a machine schedule you get `hoursText` instead of `openState`: quote it as the operator's published line, never as proof it is open now. `seasonalCaution` appears on every venue the guide has verified as NOT year-round — 77 of them, and they cluster in exactly the places a recommendation reaches for (16 of Montauk's restaurants, 14 of its bars). Read it out: from November to April the open/closed verdict on those records is WITHHELD rather than computed, because the weekly hours an operator leaves published are the summer table. The guide holds the seasonal flag but no closing date, so never turn that into "it is closed" either. Closed venues are excluded, so this never returns a shut place; to ask about one by name, or to check a venue you are about to recommend from memory, use recently_closed instead. Returns up to 8, and says how many matched in total.
