On the Move
Union Square Events
Add Danny Meyer to the list of marquee names that populate the Hamptons. In Hampton Bays, the least Hampton of the collection of villages, his flag is now planted at Canoe Place Inn, a centuries-old property. Union Square Eventswhich he created but no longer owns, is now running food and beverages for the resort. For the main restaurant, Good Ground Tavern, the chef Jarrod Huth, who worked with Thomas Keller, is still in the kitchen and is the culinary director.
Looking Ahead
‘Omnivore’
For this new eight-part series, streaming July 19, the renowned chef René Redzepi, an owner and founder of Noma in Copenhagen, tours the world ingredient by ingredient. “It’s not a travel or cooking show,” he said over Zoom. “It’s about the evolution of ingredients and their connection to various cultures. What I learned about bananas is mind-blowing.” Other topics include tuna, salt, coffee and corn. An executive producer, Matt Goulding, worked with Anthony Bourdain. On Monday a preview screening followed by a conversation between Mr. Redzepi and Phil Rosenthal, of “Somebody Feed Phil,” will be held at 7:30 p.m. at 92NY, $35 from 92ny.org/events.
“Omnivore,” Apple TV+ starting July 19.
Closing
M. Wells
Last Saturday, exactly 14 years after M. Wells opened, the owners, the chef Hugue Dufour and Sarah Obraitis, his wife and partner, have announced that they will close their Long Island City restaurant on Dec. 31. “We felt it was time,” Ms. Obraitis said on Monday by phone. And with six months to go, regulars have time to return and others can experience the restaurant for the first time. Possible next steps include opening a plant for making tourtières, their popular Canadian meat pies, and selling them nationally. “It’s a way to bring M. Wells into people’s homes,” she said. Another restaurant is not out of the question.
