Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: The Bad Boy Story By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
No Kid Hungry Taste Of The Nation
No child should go hungr y in America, but one in six children face hunger each year. New York City’s Taste of the Nation for No Kid Hungry is making a difference. The signature tasting event featuring NYC’s best chefs, sommeliers, and mixologists, takes place Monday on the East River Waterfront at 180 Maiden Lane. The event is led by Honorar y Chair Danny Meyer of Union Square Hospitality Group along with Culinary Co-Chairs Anita Lo of Annisa and Bryce Schuman of Betony, and Host Committee members Eli Sussman of Samesa, Chris Jaeckle of Uma Temakeria, William Elliot of Maison Premiere and Sauvage, Jack Logue of Betony, Flynn McGarry of Eureka, and Oskar Kostecki of Union Square Wines. United for a cause, these and other culinary tastemakers lend their talent and time to ensure a future where every child in this country gets the healthy food they need, every day. One hundred percent of proceeds from the event benefit No Kid Hungry’s work to end childhood hunger in America. This year’s Taste of the Nation will feature over 40 of the city’s most popular eateries, offering guests bitesize fare, craft cocktails, and delectable desserts. Participating restaurants and bars include Lalito, Union Square Cafe, Atoboy, Massoni, Pig Bleecker, Dead Rabbit, Black Tail, Pig & Khao, and Daily Provisions, among others. Twenty-two percent of children in
New York struggle with hunger. No Kid Hungry aims to end this problem by ensuring that kids start the day with a nutritious breakfast in the classroom, have access to the food they need during the summer, and families learn the skills they need to shop and cook on a budget. Since the campaign’s launch, No Kid Hungry and its partners have provided kids facing hunger with more than 500 million meals. Last year’s Taste of the Nation raised enough to provide more than one million healthy meals to children in need. Local beneficiaries include City Harvest, Hunger Solutions NY, Food Bank for New York City, and Hunger Free America. At the event, Taste of the Nation is introducing new special culinary programming such as The Candy Carnival featuring a colorful selection of local, handmade candies. The event is also bringing back favorites from previous years such as The Donut Derby with creations from the city’s best donut shops and the always-popular Rosé Garden. Live music from rock band The Strumbellas, fresh off a performance on TBS’ “Conan,” will provide entertainment. The band was recently named Best New Rock/Alternative Rock Artist by iHeartRadio. Taste of the Nation for No Kid Hungry tickets start at $250. For additional information and to purchase tickets, visit: https://ce.nokidhungry. org/events/nyc-taste-nation.
Cocktail For A Cause
Following the news that Sean “Diddy” Combs aka Puff Daddy will premiere his Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: The Bad Boy Story documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival, the music mogul announced an exclusive one-night-only performance at the screening event alongside Bad Boy Entertainment’s finest. That’s right, “First Lady of Bad Boy” Faith Evans, “Queen Bee” Lil’ Kim, and Mase. Combs, who owns a house in Northwest Woods in East Hampton, and the Bad Boy crew will return to the home of Bad Boy Entertainment, taking the stage at New York’s historic Beacon Theatre on Thursday, April 27, as part of the documentary’s premiere at the 16th Annual Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T. F o l l o w i n g 2 0 1 6 ’s m a s s i v e l y successful Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour, the performance will once again reunite members of the Bad Boy family for a night celebrating the storied heritage of the iconic label. “New York is home. This is where Bad Boy began, where the movement started. There was never a question in my mind that this film would premiere right here where it all started,” said
Combs. “This is the stor y of our family - the biggest names in hip-hop history – and what happens when we came together for the first time in two decades. There were ups and downs, a lot of hard work and sacrifice – and more than anything, you see that love that only exists in a family.” The film is directed by Daniel Kaufman and produced by Live Nation Productions. It is a raw and exclusive look behind the scenes at the history and legacy of Bad Boy through a complex portrait of the label’s mastermind, Combs, as he tries to reunite his Bad Boy Family in the course of a frantic three week rehearsal period. Celebrating the label’s 20th anniversary, the film traces the label’s emergence in Harlem and Brooklyn, follows its meteoric rise, explores the tragic killing of Biggie Smalls, and celebrates Bad Boy’s influence in reshaping music, fashion, marketing and culture -- all while revealing the love and commitment that form the bonds between the Bad Boy family.

Fight The Famine By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Children across the South Fork have banded together to raise funds for emergency famine relief in Africa. “Fight The Famine” is a family event being held at the Bridgehampton Community Center on Saturday, April 29, from 4 to 7 PM.

631-287TOTS 631-287-TOTS
to put children first. Guests will enjoy finger foods imagined and created by high school students from the Bridgehampton School’s Nutrition and Culinar y program. There will be table decorations by nursery children at the Green School in Bridgehampton. Fabric art featuring indigenous trees, birds, flowers, and flags of the afflicted African countries by Hayground School students will be on display. When the children were asked why they wanted to help people so far away, their answers were heartfelt. “Kids just like us are star ving,” said Atlas Geirsson, a student at the Hayground School. “I care because even if we live in different countries, we’re all human, and if we have food, they have every right to food as well,” added Madeline Grabb, a Bridgehampton School student. The event will also feature a crafts table manned by the kids from Montauk’s Camp SoulGrow. “It’s a gift to learn to give back to others at such a young age, and it’s what will make our children more compassionate people as they grow up,” said London Rosiere, Camp SoulGrow’s director. Attendees can bid on auction items and prizes procured and organized

The group effort continues with drinks and table coverings by East Hampton’s John Marshall Elementary School students and PTA, and publicity and social media is being handled by students from Liz Bertsch and Mbachi Kumwenda’s Hayground School class. The event will also feature a DJ and dancing. The looming famine in four African nations could have a devastating impact on some of the world’s most vulnerable children. An estimated 1.4 million children from South Sudan, Yemen, Nigeria, and
Somalia are at risk of imminent death from severe malnutrition. “We commend the East End kids for their commitment to helping their peers around the world,” said Michele Walsh, Managing Director of the New York Region at UNICEF USA. Jalisa Hopson from Bridgehampton School believes the event “could raise lots of money for medicine and food for [those in need]. Maybe even clean water.” The cost of the event is $12 for adults and $10 for kids. To purchase tickets in advance visit www.events. unicefusa.org/event/fight-the-famine.

Broadway Reporting From
(& Sometimes Off)
By Isa Goldberg War Paint
War Paint
That the women who portray Helena Rubenstein and Elizabeth Arden in Doug Wright’s new musical, War Paint on Broadway, are titans in their own right, is the obvious understatement. Patti LuPone, as the vampire-like Jewish immigrant (Rubenstein), and Christine Ebersole, as the Episcopalian socialite (Arden), each reveal the vulnerability of these two overachievers who created an industry. Had their names been Henry Ford, they would be remembered in just that way. In their case, however, it takes Wright to rediscover them. Writing about women as “outliers” is a recurring theme for him. His awardwinning Grey Gardens, which he wrote with his collaborators here (music by Scott Frankel and lyrics by Michael Korie), follows the lives of Jacqueline Kennedy’s cousins, Little Edie and Big Edie Bouvier Beale. (Ebersole won the Tony Award for her role.) It follows the two women from their heyday as socialites to their pitiful estrangement. And in his one-man play, I Am My Own Wife, Wright explores the life of an eccentric German transvestite, who hid from the Nazis, in plain sight, as a woman. In War Paint, LuPone’s and Ebersole’s first act duet says it all quite simply, and sadly. “I sleep alone/If I’d been a man, I’d make the rules,” LuPone’s Rubenstein sings. Rejected from purchasing an apartment in a prestigious Manhattan apartment building, she eventually buys the building. And when someone tells her “War is a mind game,” she throws it off with a swift comeback. “Tell that to Joan of Arc.” Even the title turns the world of specifically feminine products – cosmetics -- into a masculine image. In Ebersole’s most outstanding number “Pink,” about the Arden brand signature, the entrepreneur reflects on both her success and her nemesis. “Pink – the only shred of me they want,” Ebersole’s Arden decries. While filled with bathos, it’s a comic gem. The stereotypical color gets what it deserves. LuPone’s Rubenstein, however, is more blatantly emasculating. When Arden divorces her husband and business partner, Tommy Lewis (John Dossett), he runs to Rubenstein to share Arden’s business secrets and secure his own future. Confiding to her designer dog, she laments, “You know how I took you to the veterinarian and he took out your testicles? She did the same to him.” Indeed, both women left their significant others and business partners, in the wings. Following the upward rise of their businesses in the ‘30s is the focus of Act I. The second act fastforwards through
history, starting with World War II, and their support of the war effort, leading into the decline of their businesses in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Unable to keep up with the times -- the advent of television, Madison Avenue, and mass production -- Rubenstein and Arden became the dinosaurs, “Epidermis Rex,” of an ever-expanding market. While the book unearths their lives, what stands out here is the extraordinary singing. LuPone, balancing classical gusto with characteristic bravura, and Ebersole, sweetly and openly alive in

show stopping musical numbers, are legendary. And while the men in their lives were their lesser halves, John Dossett and Doug Sills (Harry Fleming) are in fine form here, as well. Catherine Zuber’s costumes, with LuPone weighted down by enormous necklaces, and Ebersole in Arden’s signature color, add to the parade. David Korin’s scenic design serves as a mirror to their large egos. Fortunately, director Michael Greif recognizes what we’ve come to see, and delivers it joyfully.

“Number 1, I’m representing for women, and No. 2, I’m representing for playwrights of color,” Lynn Nottage said in an interview with The Los Angeles Times, following the announcement of her second Pulitzer win for drama. Nottage is the first woman in history to receive two Pulitzers. As with her first Pulitzer for Ruined, Nottage developed Sweat through interviews with the people whose plight

she represents on stage. Regarded as the first post Trump-era drama, the play takes place in Reading, PA, a steel-manufacturing town, where the factory is closing. Set in 2000 to 2008, the human drama reflects the issues that explain Trump’s presidential victory unemployment and economic despair, racism, immigration, and hatred of the other, and drug addiction. Transforming characters from hopeful to deadened, is the playwright’s coup de theatre. Khris Davis plays a young man about to start college, and a man condemned to prison for an act of violence. That they are both the same character is difficult to see at first. One wonders how the haggard criminal and the idealistic youth could be the same person. His partner in crime, played by Will Pullen, is even more disguised. More potently, the victim of that violence, Stan, sensitively played by James Colby, turns from the pillar of

Independent Dining Signs & Seasons: An Astrology Cookbook
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Every wonder what to feed a hard-toplease dinner guest? Well, the answer might be as simple as discovering their astrological sign. East Hampton’s star astrology team Amy Zerner and Monte Farber, along with Chef John Okas of Highway Restaurant, have created the book Signs & Seasons: An Astrology Cookbook, published by HarperElixir, out on shelves in May. The book reveals how the zodiac is intimately connected to the changing of the seasons and people’s relationship with food. It teaches readers how to eat for their sign and nourish their soul. It also can come in handy when feeding friends and loved ones based on their signs and the season. The book comes complete with over 85 seasonal recipes, replete with astrological lore, tradition, and ingredients that emphasize nourishment for body and spirit. You can even learn
how to balance the preferences and desires of a table of mixed signs. Z e r n e r , Farber, and Okas demonstrate how food connects us not only to our families, history, and culture, but to the natural world itself. The zodiac emerged from our agrarian ancestors’ need to chart the growing seasons. It came from the very necessity of growing food and sustaining life. Drawing on that rich history, the book brings cooks on a journey through the four seasons, beginning with the spring equinox, and each of their astrological signs. A first of its kind, the cookbook describes, based on astrological sign, our appetites and our aversions, as well as our styles in the kitchen and when
entertaining. It tells the reader how each sign eats, how they cook, and how they like to entertain. The recipe for couscous and cracked wheat tabbouleh is perfect for an Aries sign during the spring. A Virgo will enjoy a lemony grilled shrimp with white beans during the summer. Linguine fine with broccoli and anchovies is a recipe for a sagittarius during fall. As the recipes
head into winter, kale salad is key for a Capricorn. Zerner is a U.S. National Endowment for the Arts award-winning fine artist. Since 1988, she and her husband, author Monte Farber, have created what they call their family of “spiritual power tools.” There are over two million copies of their works in print in sixteen languages. They love to cook and create together and believe that adding love, light, and laughter to everything one cooks is essential to crafting great meals and a great life.

the community - a warm, friendly, supportive bartender - into a brain dead restaurant worker. And the amazing Johanna Day, in a role that is significantly different from any other she has played on stage, takes a fall from a salaried factory worker who embraces life to a hardened drug addict. Other characters we meet in the bar are also convincingly portrayed by Carlo Alban, Michelle Wilson, and John Earl Jelks, among others. Director Kate Whoriskey, who also directed Ruined, helms this seamless production. Still, it’s the depth of humanity that Nottage brings to her characters that makes us feel as if everything that happens on stage happens in the moment.
Present Laughter
With Kevin Kline and Kate Burton as the happily divorced couple at the center of the Noel Coward revival, Present Laughter, the entertainment is abundantly frothy. Gary Essendine (Klein) is a famous British actor, philanderer, and narcissist. His ex-wife, Liz (Burton), does everything for him, including, literally, helping him keep his pants on. Incidentally, she is lovely in the role, exuding a warmth and vitality that have amplified with maturity. And Klein clowns, broods, mimics, and

brown. Take it off the heat and keep in a warm place. The lemon peels should now be ready. Add the candied lemon peels, three tbsps of the lemon simple syrup used to cook the peels, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice to a blender cup. Purée until a thick smooth consistency is achieved. Once all of the elements are ready, heat a frying pan over high heat. Season the scallops and put the oil in the hot pan. Drop the scallops in the pan and sear on one side for one minute, then flip the scallops to the other side and sear for another minute. Add the warm parsnip purée along with the lemon around the plate. Place scallops on top of the parsnip. Add some mâché to garnish with a drizzle of brown butter to finish. Enjoy! performs the physical pratfalls for which he, like Gary, are so well known. In Moritz Von Stuelpnagel’s production, however, the characters who won’t go away – and literally will not leave Gary alone – are the most intriguing. Foremost among them is Roland Maule (pronounced as spelled). In Bhavesh Patel’s hands, this wannabe playwright and clinging fan is the one to watch. Seemingly innocent to the point of dense, Maule turns from a worm into a vicious monster, taking control of events in the most frightening and unexpected fashion. Thriving on comedy, as is her wont, Kristine Nielsen is devilishly alive here. Playing Klein’s assistant, she deflects cross fire and near catastrophe with discernable chagrin. No one twists like Nielsen, whose stage personae are unique to her. Other interlopers come and go with shameless adoration and contempt for the famous star. Among them, Daphne Stillngton (Tedra Millan), is an ingénue who knows no innocence, and Joanna Lyppiatt (Cobie Smulders), a two timing wife. Both revolve in time with the swinging doors. Along with Gary’s business associates, an absolutely agitating Morris Dixon (outstandingly portrayed by Reg Rogers), and a far too stuffy Henry Lyppiatt (Peter Francis James), the stage is a boiling pot of combustible energy.
