EDITOR’S NOTE

Spring has sprung and New York City is alive with cherry blossom trees lining the Reservoir while the museum mile is packed with visitors lining up to enjoy Manhattan's many cultural treasures. In Palm Beach, the hottest news in town is the opening of Publisher Chase Backer's gorgeous new Advanced Aesthetics MedSpa!

The art scene in the Hamptons is vibrant as well as our resident, jet-setting art world editor Rachel D. Vancelette catches us up with the latest art stories and trends. World-class photographers Annie Watt, Lisa Ramsay, Pawel Litwinski, Mark Seidenfeld, and John Cooper are just a few of the talented artists sharing their inspiring work with us in our Spring Issues.

Popular television and film actor (and old friend) Joshua Malina, perhaps best known for his stellar work in The West Wing, Sports Night, and dozens of other shows over the past 30 years, is lighting up the Great White Way in Tom Stoppard's thought-provoking play Leopoldstadt. Esteemed movie producers Brad Feinstein and Julian Schlossberg are also highlighted inside along with a 75th-anniversary celebration of the Actor's Studio thanks to entertainment writer Sean Buttimer.

As always, we have real estate stories including one on my childhood friend Robert Rosenberg's funky, elegant, and magical hotel, The Hive, in the art district of Wilmington, NC. Robert was a trusted best friend (besides my twin sister) all through high school and beyond. He owns a piece of my heart forever. We named our sons after each other. He was taken from us unexpectedly. Rather than mourn Robert's loss I will celebrate his brilliance, sense of humor, and extraordinary life and ask you, our dear readers, to reach out to a dear friend you might not have spoken with for a little while, and let them know how much you love them too. Thanks!

Enjoy our Spring issues and enjoy Spring, you deserve it!
