This season of Real Housewives of New York kicks off with summer in the Hamptons, but soon finds the ladies in a cabin in the Berkshires and "glamping" in Montana. Don't forget the Pinot Grigio! Get a sneak peek at the old feuds, new rivalries and the adventures ahead for New York's favorite Housewives in the preview below.

Wigs, doggie funerals, missing teeth, plenty of expletives and Aviva's father! Phew. That not enough for you? Bravo will air a special 30-minute extended sneak peek on Monday, Feb. 24 at 9 p.m. EST.

And about that new Housewife … Kristen Taekman has been modeling since age 16 and she has her own line of high-end greeting card boxes. Kristen is the mother of 5-year-old Cash and two-year-old Kingsley. She's married to Josh, the co-founder of EBOOST. The newest Housewife is also a big fan of the King, Elvis Presley. She's known for her large painting of the iconic singer that is on display in her TriBeCa apartment. Look for the newest member of The Real Housewives of New York to "tell it like it is."

The adventure begins in full on Tuesday, March 11 at 9 p.m. EST.

(E! and Bravo are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
