T
he judges’ tower is an iconic landmark at one of the most anticipated events of the summer season, Bridgehampton’s Hampton Classic Horse Show. Positioned over the entrance to the Grand Prix ring, worldclass equestrians pass under it as they enter the ring to tackle the course. It was designed by famed Hamptons architect Peter Cook, a frequent spectator and supporter of the Hampton Classic. Cook’s blueprint was brought to fruition in 1996 by Hamptons builders, Koral Brothers, Inc., and now offers one of the best views in the house for judges and officials, who have the important task of assessing the performances of horses and riders. The elevated and unhindered view of the Grand Prix ring is essential to discerning the best riding rounds in the $10,000 Sam Edelman Equitation Championship and watch over big jumper classes, such as the $40,000 Longines Cup and the $250,000 Hampton Classic Grand Prix Presented by Land Rover. Oftentimes a hair—or a hoof—can make the difference. The beautiful Shaker-style tower has become a Hamptons icon in its own right, and it appears often in artwork and photographs highlighting the Classic and epitomizing summer itself. In recent years, it has even developed its own fan base, with Instagram followers keeping an eye out for the Hampton Classic’s weekly #TowerTuesday posts (follow @hamptonclassic on Instagram). And last year, a watercolor depicting the tower, by artist Pamela Leverenz Levine, was featured on the lapel pin that Hampton Classic VIPs wore to gain entrance to the VIP tent. Even VIPs will have to settle for regular spectator seats as the Classic kicks off on August 24, running through Grand Prix Sunday on August 31. But there’s not a bad seat—or saddle—in the house. H

Celebrating VH1 Save The Music’s return to the Hamptons with my husband, David, at its event in Sagaponack; my daughter, Sadie, with Bobby Flay at Chefs & Champagne, where he was honored by the James Beard Foundation; with Stacy Bash-Polley and Adrianne Shapira for a David Yurman cocktail party to benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
She has been one of those women in my life who is always there for me, who shows up, lends her support, and remains the picture of simple elegance and generous grace. This weekend, I am grateful to be cohosting the Children’s Justice Campaign kickoff benefit alongside Kelly and another great friend, Christie Brinkley, at the home of philanthropist Joan Hornig. The Children’s Justice Campaign is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to raising social consciousness for the iniquities committed against innocent children by the US family court system, and—as Kelly tells her friend Rosanna Scotto—it’s a cause deeply close to her heart as well as mine. This weekend also brings a wave of other philanthropic events, including the Paddle & Party for Pink benefiting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation at the extraordinary home of Follow me on Twitter at Lisa and Richard Perry, and the 66th @samanthayanks and on Annual Artists and Writers Celebrity hamptons-magazine.com Softball game in East Hampton. We also give you a preview of Martha Stewart’s appearance at Guild Hall on August 17 for a “Stirring the Pot” interview with Florence Fabricant; check in with animal activist, new mom, and Hampton Classic competitor Georgina Bloomberg; and talk one-on-one with designer Michael Kors, whose East Hampton shop celebrates its fifth anniversary this summer. Whitney Fairchild gives Jamee Gregory a tour of her garden, and we even catch a quick bite at my new favorite Hamptons spot, Moby’s in Amagansett. And as we enter the so-called dog days, there are so many Hamptons happenings that remind me of the important role animals play in our quiet community. The Hampton Classic Horse Show showcases equestrian beauty, but other animals—from dogs to sharks—need our help. It’s our job to remember every Hamptons resident—person or otherwise—and do our part to keep the East End thriving.

This issue is devoted to sports,
With 525 America’s owners Marianne and Bobby Bock celebrating the company’s 30th anniversary with our “Hamptons Magazine” sweater benefitting the Max Cure Foundation.
CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE LEFT:
Paddleboarding in Montauk with Gina Bradley, the “Paddle Diva”; with Audi’s Nathalie Carpenter at the Audi and Hamptons Taste & Test, where we were proud sponsors of the James Beard Foundation’s Chefs & Champagne at Wölffer Estate Vineyard; practicing forest yoga at Good Ground Yoga in Hampton Bays with founder Leslie Pearlman and Amy Pink.
and to me, if there is anything that is truly close to a spiritual process in the normal, day-to-day course of life, it’s physical exertion. Moving your body in any way, stretching and bending by practicing yoga, playing tennis, golfing, paddleboarding, riding horses, and other exercises make for a sharper and more peaceful mind as well as a toned, fit summer body. Transformation—either on the tennis court or in the yoga studio—is essential for me in so many ways. I love seeing what we can build and change, inside and out, always growing stronger and learning to strengthen the body and mind. Follow me on Twitter at These sensibilities are exemplified in @debrahalpert and on print with views of three wonderful hamptons-magazine.com sporting events. The first one—the Artists and Writers Celebrity Softball Game—takes place this Saturday. In the spirit of one of the longest-continuing traditions on the East End, artists, writers, supporters, and volunteers come together for entertainment, competition, and fun to benefit important local charities. It’s a “fierce” competition at which celebrities like Bill Clinton, Alec Baldwin, Jay McInerney, and Matt Lauer play, but more importantly, everybody wins. We’ll see who is on the rosters for this year on Saturday at Herrick Park in East Hampton. In this issue we are also previewing another summer tradition: the Hampton Classic Horse Show. This year’s show starts next Sunday, August 24, at the Hampton Classic show grounds and runs through Grand Prix Sunday, August 31. Whether you a participant in the “games” or merely a spectator, there are plenty of ways to transform your final weeks of summer in our magnificent East End. Enjoy the week, savor the summer, sweat, move, and I’ll see you in town.

Besides riding horses, Georgina Bloomberg also is a passionate advocate for equine rescue.
ight months after the birth of her son, Jasper, Georgina Bloomberg is back in the saddle and returning to the Grand Prix at The Hampton Classic, taking place this year August 24–31. “All the clichés of motherhood are true,” says Bloomberg, who is the daughter of New York’s former mayor, Michael Bloomberg. “It really does change your world. I’m not going to say he’s the only thing that matters to me—my dogs still matter to me, my horses still matter to me—but he’s definitely at the top of the list. I have no problem making all sorts of sacrifices for him. It definitely refocuses everything in your life, but he really is my greatest joy.” continued on page 62

SOCIAL STUDIES FROM TOP: Bloomberg competing in last year’s Hampton Classic; Georgina and Michael Bloomberg at the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation’s Fifth Annual Unconditional Love Dinner Dance in July.
continued from page 61 Bloomberg has been visiting the East End since she was 4 years old. “I first came to The Hampton Classic to watch my sister compete,” she recalls. “I don’t think I’ve missed a Hampton Classic. Even if I’m not competing, I still come out and watch.” In recent years, she’s now the competitor, having earned awards at the Adequan/FEI North American Junior Young Rider Championships and Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida. “I was a little bit scared in the beginning, but as soon as I started being able to compete, I fell in love with riding,” says Bloomberg, who competes in tournaments around the globe and will be riding in Manhattan’s Central Park Grand Prix on September 18. “I love the competition side of it.”
—GEORGINA BLOOMBERG Her years of competing also led Bloomberg to author several young adult books with Catherine Hapka, including Rein It In: An A Circuit Novel and The A Circuit, and found The Rider’s Closet, an organization that collects new or gently used riding gear and donates it to therapeutic riding programs, pony clubs, intercollegiate riding programs, and individual riders in need. “I became friends with a girl who loved riding and wanted to join the equestrian team at NYU, but couldn’t afford to because she couldn’t afford the riding clothing,” Bloomberg recalls. “To compete, you have to have the proper equipment and the proper clothing, not just for safety but also because it’s a traditional sport. Founding The Rider’s Closet is one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life.” After years of caring for her own horses, Bloomberg is now a passionate advocate for equine rescue through her role as a Welfare Equine Ambassador for the ASPCA. “Horses have given so much to me so that’s why I became involved in this cause,” says Bloomberg, who will
62
be leading an animal adoption day during The Hampton Classic. “All the horses in our little world are so cared for and pampered but a lot of people don’t realize that horse slaughter still exists. It’s our duty to protect these horses; it’s my way of giving back to horses for the joy they’ve given to me.” Today, her dedication to animal advocacy is extending to other breeds; Bloomberg herself adopted five dogs—Hugo, Mabel, Mona, Chopper, and Stella—and a rescue pig named Wilbur. Sadly, Stella passed away in June. “The first time I went to a kill pound I wanted to adopt the oldest, ugliest dog they had, the dog that nobody else wanted,” says Bloomberg, who was honored by the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation at the organization’s Unconditional Love Dinner Dance this past July. “A no-kill America is the biggest dream. There are just so many other things to do like decreasing puppy mills and increasing spay and neuter practices. Every year the awareness rate goes up, [and] the euthanasia rate goes down. I definitely think we’re moving in the right direction.” H

“Growing up somewhere that does get a lot of tourists in the summer teaches the importance of sustainability and of understanding our resources and preserving the environment,” says Ahearn, who—along with his business partners—is an avid surfer as well as a lifelong skater. “As a surfer on the East Coast, you really need to be in tune with nature so you can be in the water when that magic window of swell, wind direction, and tide all come together.” Bureo (Chilean for “the waves”) started as a conversation between Stover and Kneppers about finding solutions for removing plastic pollution from the ocean. The brainstorm quickly evolved into the concept of creating an actual product from collected materials in order to support a more sustainable plastic recycling program, and Stover brought his college friend, Ahearn, into the mix. “As surfers, we’re very close to the ocean Montauk Bounty: environment and very passionate about pro“Skate over to tecting it,” says Stover. “The product actually Gianni’s Pizza or came second as we figured out a way to supSt. Peter’s Catch, then hit Montauk port the sustainable program to collect plastic.” Brewing Co.’s tap It just so happened that fishnets—a massive room.” source of ocean pollution—are made of a duraShop Local: “We ble plastic; the trio imagined it would lend love Whalebone itself well to a skateboard deck.

The Bureo Minnow Cruiser design improves on original cruiser skateboards that were created to mimic the sensation of surfing.

F
or some, a picture is worth a thousand words. For fashion designer and avid paddleboarder Kimberly Schamber, it’s worth a business plan. It was during a flight home from a paddleboarding trip to Mexico in December 2012 when Schamber saw a photo of herself in her soggy attire—an image that prompted an immediate in-air sketch session. “I looked completely waterlogged,” she says. “I thought, something has to be done.” By this time last year, the former Michael Kors Onboard accessory: and Spyder designer had launched SUPMerge, My 18-year-old poodle, Dozer. an activewear line inspired by stand-up paddleboarding (SUP): the surf-meets-kayak hybrid Paddleboard place: Georgica Pond. “It’s once reserved for Hawaiian royalty that has a calm pond; rent a been making recent waves across the nation and board. I take is growing more popular here in the Hamptons people there for with each passing summer. Schamber, who first picnics.” tried SUP at Lake Tahoe in 2011, credits the Buy: Main Beach growing popularity of the sport to its approachSurf + Sport, 352 Montauk Hwy., able and social qualities. “Everyone can do it,” Wainscott, 631she says. “My mom has been on a paddleboard; 537-7873; she’s 72. If you think you need more balance, mainbeach.com you just need a bigger board.” In addition to her desire for better photos, it was the socially fueled, on-the-go lifestyle of the Hamptons, where Schamber and her husband have lived for nearly 10 years, that served as inspiration for the 10-piece collection’s quick-dry material. “I wanted to create items that could be worn from the beach to the board to breakfast to the bar,” she says. Schamber spent roughly a year developing the line, which ranges from halter dresses to board shorts, with a particular focus on hydrophobic and SPF 50+ fabric. “I would take all of my husband’s board shorts, put them in the tub, then hang them to dry and have quick-dry contests with the different fabrics,” she jokes. Next season’s line is set to debut in August and will feature 10 new styles in a wide range of sizes with colors inspired by the global waters she and her husband have crossed (think Bora Bora). And while paddle travels spanning
66
Venice and Israel haven’t left Schamber short on creativity, she always looks to her backyard for the special, impromptu moments only the Hamptons can offer. “Recently we were out with friends. We brought up a bunch of clams, went back to my place, and made this beautiful clam linguine,” she says, inspired by the beachside community’s bounty. “Being on the water has opened my eyes to a whole other side of the Hamptons that I never knew existed.” H

To the Dogs W
e have always been animal lovers, and it gives us great pleasure to share our experience of adopting our little dog, Riley, from the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons. Riley is funny and sweet and has the face of an Ewok from Star Wars, but he had a difficult early life as a “breeder dog” that was rescued from a puppy mill in Missouri. Prior to settling in with us at Tick Hall in Montauk, Riley had spent his entire life in a wire cage. Now he leads the life of Riley, with wide-open spaces and the freedom he always deserved. He’s
68
a great little dog, and is very loving and inquisitive. Sometimes it feels like he’s making up for his previous life of pent-up curiosity with a constant devotion to new smells and experiences. But for such a little pup, he’s also quite intrepid—he rides out the big storms out here on the end of Long Island without fear, and he greets everyone who comes to the house, offering his own brand of advice and conversation for anyone who will listen. Once, he even approached a family of deer to introduce himself and chat. He grins and jumps for joy when you praise him or he spots one of his favorite people. Simply put, he makes every day better. ARF’s work, which includes rescuing cats and dogs from puppy mills, high-kill animal control centers, abusive and hoarding situations, and the streets, is so important. When the animals arrive at ARF, they are quarantined and examined by ARF’s veterinarians, who clear them medically, providing them proper vaccinations and spaying or neutering before putting them up for adoption. Last year, ARF found loving homes for 1,113 pets, and it’s well on its way to beating that record this year. We think this is terrific. As a former talk-show host, if there’s one thing I know how to do is talk, and last year I served as the emcee for ARF’s Bow Wow Meow Ball gala. Keeping 400 people entertained while ARF dogs paraded on the stage to salute the guests wasn’t
easy, but it sure was fun, and the event was the most successful fundraiser in the history of the organization. This year’s version will be held at the Adoption Center in Wainscott on August 16. We plan on attending to help ARF celebrate its 40th anniversary. After decades of owning dogs and serving on the Advisory Board of ARF, I know how important the love of a pet can be. We encourage you to visit the ARF Adoption Center at 90 Daniels Hole Road in Wainscott. The center is open every day from 11 AM–4 PM. If you’re not in the market for a new pet, you can simply cuddle with a kitten or walk a dog. The animals deserve love and will return it in kind, and we encourage others to visit ARF and find their own Riley. H

SPIRIT OF GENEROSITY
Paddleboard Philanthropy HAMPTONITES RACE FOR FUN—AND A CURE FOR CANCER—AT THE THIRD ANNUAL HAMPTONS PADDLE & PARTY FOR PINK. BY LISA PERRY
T
hree years ago, my good friend Maria Baum—a mother of four— was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 42. She was not the first friend or family member to receive a cancer diagnosis and, unfortunately, she won’t be the last. I feel strongly about doing all we can to support research for a cure, and this is a time in which science and technology are moving faster than ever to deepen our understanding of cancer. As Leonard Lauder, cochairman of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, says, we are in a “renaissance” of medical science and we cannot afford to stop. We came up with the idea of holding a paddleboard race to support breast cancer research through BCRF while having dinner with Larry and Maria Baum one night at their restaurant, Tutto Il Giorno, in Sag Harbor. It just seemed like the perfect summer event, especially since my husband, Richard, first introduced Maria to the sport. She quickly became passionate about stand-up paddleboarding during her treatment, and it helped her tackle chemotherapy, both physically and emotionally. Laird Hamilton and Gabrielle Reece joined us last year and cemented the SUP race as a major East Coast paddle event, and this year, we have the generous support of Tracy Anderson and Gwyneth Paltrow. We expect more than 150 paddlers, both recreational and serious racers, to participate at Havens Beach. In addition to the morning paddle, we also decided to have an evening component and offered our home in North Haven as the venue for the party. It has become a special backdrop for the incredible energy and generosity of the amazing crowd that shows up in support of Maria, Larry, Richard, myself, and BCRF. Last year, we even had the most incredible hot pink sunset over the bay to cap off the night. This year, the party’s momentum continues to grow. We have so many great guests expected to

attend—and a couple of fun surprises planned for the crowd too! The community’s warm reception of the Hamptons Paddle & Party for Pink has truly been remarkable. Not only have we sold out every year, but we have raised more than $2 million since August 2012. Funds from the 2012 event sponsored three BCRF researchers in 2013-2014: Dr. Lewis Chodosh at the University of Pennsylvania’s Abramson Cancer Center, Dr. Robert Schneider at NYU Langone Medical Center, and Dr. Zoltan Szallasi at Boston Children’s Hospital at Harvard Medical School. The $1.2 million raised at the 2013 event will hopefully sponsor up to five 20142015 research grants, which will be announced this October. And this summer, we have set the bar even higher: Our goal is to raise more than $1.5 million at our third annual event on August 16. We hope you will join our efforts to support BCRF and raise critical funds for breast cancer research by joining as a paddler, partier, or both, or just a supporter of this great cause. H
INSIGHT The third annual Hamptons Paddle & Party for Pink will be held on Saturday, August 16, with the race beginning at 8 AM on Havens Beach and the party taking place at 6:30 PM at the home of Lisa and Richard Perry in North Haven.

Dishes & Discourse GUILD HALL’S “STIRRING THE POT” SERIES HOSTS AN ENLIGHTENING CONVERSATION BETWEEN EAST HAMPTON GOURMANDS MARTHA STEWART AND FLORENCE FABRICANT. BY JILL SIERACKI
“T
he world has become so accessible and food stuff has become so accessible via places like Whole Foods and our local purveyors, Citarella and the Red Horse Market—you can get anything in a little tiny town like East Hampton,” says Martha Stewart, who headlines the next installment of Guild Hall’s “Stirring the Pot: Conversations with Culinary Celebrities” lecture series. “That’s really what happened to food, and it all started, I think, with people like Julia Child, Pierre Franey, Jacques Pépin— chefs who came and told us there are a lot of different cuisines besides hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches.” The three-part program, which launched August 10 with a discussion between host Florence Fabricant, an award-winning food journalist and
78
New York Times columnist, and No Reservations host and best-selling author Anthony Bourdain, was designed to “provide a unique, affordable opportunity for our audience and for them to benefit from the expertise of the wonderful local chefs who live in or visit our area,” says Jennifer Brondo, general manager of the John Drew Theater and the Lewis B. Cullman Associate for Theater Education at Guild Hall. “Our executive director, Ruth Appelhof, thought that Florence Fabricant would be a perfect fit to host the series. As a writer for The New York Times Dining & Wine section, she has incredible knowledge and insight into this world.” “I’ve known Florence forever,” says Stewart, a friend of Fabricant’s since the publication of Stewart’s first book, Entertaining, in 1982. “She researches a

slaughtered appropriately. Watch Fed Up: It’s all about the amount of sugar, and not good sugar—corn syrup and other artificial sweeteners—in our diet and how horrible it is for our health.” That topic and others raised in three of Stewart’s most recent titles—including Living the Good Long Life: A Practical Guide to Caring for Yourself and Others and Meatless: More than 200 of the Very Best Vegetarian Recipes—will be on the docket for the August 17 discussion, which will be followed by a book signing. “Meatless is an important book because [vegetarianism] is a growing trend in America—to lessen our reliance on meat,” says Stewart, who consumes limited amounts herself. “I try to grow as much as I can, and I try to share all of that natural, organically grown food with people in my office and with my daughter and her two kids. It’s more expensive and more difficult to find, but it’s important if we want to stay healthy. We’re all concerned with health; we’re all concerned with good food. It’s very important to me. I won’t eat poultry that’s out of a supermarket—I have to know where it comes from.” This series is a further reflection of today’s wave of conscious dining that Stewart finds so inspiring. “The explosion of interest in America in all types of cuisine—that’s really what I think is the most exciting thing,” says Stewart, who favors The 1770 House Restaurant & Inn and the Clam Bar when dining out East. “Everyone from a 2-year-old child to an older [person] is interested in how sushi is made, how pastilla is made in Morocco, how General Tso’s chicken is created. [People] know the different dishes of every cuisine.” Guild Hall’s “Stirring the Pot” series is also an opportunity to bring together local foodies. “Martha Stewart is one of our most loved East Hampton chefs and she is a staple in this community as well as an icon for any home cook,” says Brondo. “We can’t wait to have her on our stage and hear all of her tips!” “Stirring the Pot: Conversations with Culinary Celebrities—Martha Stewart” takes place on Sunday, August 17 at Guild Hall, 158 Main St., East Hampton, 3240806; guildhall.org.

“We have a chance now to change the way we eat in a very responsible and important way.” —MARTHA STEWART subject before she writes about it, and she knows what she’s talking about. That’s extremely important with food—a lot of foodies are fun to watch, but their food isn’t really what you want to eat on a regular basis. They’re performers rather than experts, and I love experts; I rely tremendously on experts.” An expert herself for more than four decades, Stewart has created an epicurean empire of books, television programs, products, and much, much more, all under the umbrella of her Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia corporation. Her style of cooking, which is featured throughout her work, reflects her own philosophy: following a balanced diet and using only locally sourced, sustainably grown, and responsibly nurtured ingredients. “The attention to the sustainable is very important,” says Stewart, as she snacks on a quart of raspberries, freshly picked from her own garden. “We have a chance now to change the way we eat in a very responsible and important way. We are starting to encourage farmers to be nicer to their animals and to demand we stop eating so many hamburgers in fast-food places, if [their beef] is not raised and

Against the Grain C
oming off of successful stints at MASS MoCA and this year’s Art Market Hamptons, artist Jason Middlebrook will display his signature series of painted hardwood planks at Silas Marder Gallery from August 16 to September 14 in an exhibit titled “Every Tree Is a Map.” Inspired by how trees map time, space, and human influence, the artist started painting on cross-sectional slabs of redwood, English elm, maple, and Cairo walnut tree trunks in 2008. His transposed paintings are the result of his own visceral reactions to the form as well as a careful study of distinct elements like patterns, knots, and borders. “I waver between respecting the grain and form and trying to impose my own will on it,” he says. “The feeling I get when I go against the natural form is the same feeling I get when I see certain tensions between nature and man-made structures in the real world.” Surfaces are painstakingly painted with compact geometric lines and
80
abstract shapes that work both with and against the grain. “What is interesting is the more balance I can achieve between the organic pattern and my own geometric design, the more visually dynamic the piece is, which speaks to the relationship on a symbolic level.” At the cross section of sculpture and painting, his work demonstrates the culminating tension of his change of locales—having grown up around the redwoods of California before moving to New York City, then to Brooklyn, and finally relocating with his family to Hudson, New York. The artist likens this tension of the urban and natural to the visual of “roots breaking up asphalt.” The overlaying of man-made structures can only deter nature so much. “Jason Middlebrook: Every Tree Is a Map” will be on exhibit from August 16 to September 14 at Silas Marder Gallery, 120 Snake Hollow Road, Bridgehampton, 702-2306; silasmarder.com.

THIS ISSUE: THE FLAVORS OF LONG ISLAND The seafood tower at Delmonico’s of Southampton.
Towering High DELMONICO’S OF SOUTHAMPTON TAKES STEAKHOUSE TRADITION OUT EAST. BY GARY WALTHER PHOTOGRAPHY BY EVAN SUNG
T
he shrimp that form the cocktail at Delmonico’s of Southampton could win a body-building contest on bikini beach. They’re thick commas of crustacean, so meaty that to eat one whole, you have to have a sword swallower’s suavity. The chunks of lobster in the Gosman’s lobster cocktail, named, of course, for the Montauk fishery, should be graded by the carat. They’re Hope Diamondsize, glistening with pride and escorted by iceberg chunks of avocado, both floating on a sea of radicchio. But through it all, the 46-ounce porterhouse, the signature steak, speaks—or
rather megaphones—for itself. “A guy was in last night,” my server says still marveling, “and he ate the whole thing rare.” Delmonico’s of Southampton, currently in its second season and an East End offshoot of the 177-year-old Manhattan brand, carries on the steakhouse tradition with oomph: a pared-down menu (fish, steak, chicken, and splashy sides) done in big, bass-drum style. There’s no shortage of bravado, and it might get loud. “The best risotto in the world,” my server says of the Acquerello Risotto. It’s an overstatement that pairs perfectly with the culinary beat. continued on page 86

continued from page 85 The restaurant occupies a vintage two-story building (formerly Savannah’s) near the Southampton railway station. On a limpid summer evening washed by the setting sun, the black and white cabana-striped awning and display-size windows give the façade the mood of an Edward Hopper painting—an elusive mix of Main Street veneered with nostalgia and longing. Inside, the wainscoted walls, schoolhouse lights, and ceiling fans garnish the impression, as do the pair of red leather button-tufted, Chesterfield-backed banquettes that face the bar, almost begging you to smoke a now-forbidden cigar as you sit. The Southampton outpost represents the brand’s “steaking” a claim on the East End, a step out of Manhattan in an expansion that is supposed to
86
take Delmonico’s to other US cities in the near future, according to owner and managing partner Dennis Turcinovic. The expansion has already begun in the city: In 2012 Turcinovic opened Delmonico’s Kitchen on West 36th Street. But on the East End, Delmonico’s has its work cut out for it, given the fact that The Palm is the padrone here, and that Bobby Van’s and BLT Steak (in the pop-up former Nobu space at the Capri Hotel) are also well established. But one can’t help but recall the vintage Conrad Hilton quote about success in the hospitality business: “Location, location, location.” Delmonico’s is busy on Sundays and Mondays at dinner because it’s just a dash to the station. And then it’s just a stroll to the station on Thursday and Friday after disembarking. “All the billionaires,” Turcinovic says when asked about the restaurant’s who’s who—among them Michael Strahan, Jason Kidd, and Nina Garcia. One of the premier selling points is the restaurant’s outdoor space, some 2,000 square feet of handsome tented pavilion on stout Tuscan columns and an open-air herringbone-brick terrace, site of the four-seat raw bar. On the evening that we dined, a woman in a spaghetti-strap polka-dot dress was gesticulating wildly, annoyed by a dragonfly that had lighted on her martini glass. The server rushed over and snagged the insect as it lifted off—a one-hand grab. Miss Polka Dot was rapturous. And the one off-menu item that Delmonico’s has going for it is its pedigree, although the current owners have no connection to the original Delmonico, the former pastry shop on South William Street opened in 1827 by a pair of Swiss brothers from Ticino, the Italian-speaking corner of the country. Delmonico’s moved uptown with the city—at its height there were 10 locations—and it’s usually associated with Gilded Age banquets where Sebastian Cabot-esque-physiqued men are seated at long tables in formal dress. In those days, Delmonico’s was the sepia-photographed Le Cirque of Manhattan: Jenny Lind, Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Diamond Jim Brady, Lillian Russell, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, J.P. Morgan, James Gordon Bennett, the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII), and Napoleon III all dined at Delmonico’s. Jacob Riis, author of How The Other Half Lives, a Gilded Age continued on page 88

continued from page 86 study of New York’s impoverished, is said to have survived at one point on rolls passed to him through a window by a chef at Delmonico’s. Since then, the Delmonico name has been screen-passed here and there over the years. The last Delmonico’s with a direct family connection to the original, at Fifth Avenue and 44th Street, closed in 1923, but a host of carpetbaggers descended and a judge ruled that the name had passed into the public domain. Turcinovic is the latest receiver, but he’s aware of the brand value of heritage: At the Southampton outpost, he serves the signature lobster Newberg, invented at the Fifth Avenue and 26th Street Delmonico’s (1876-1899), even though he’s skeptical that it will work here. “I can sell it all day downtown,” he jokes.

Thymeline lemonade mixes fresh lemon juice and vodka.
COCKTAIL LIST Garnishes come out of the herb garden at the back of the restaurant, which is why many of the drinks are muddled, meaning the raw ingredients are crushed mortar-and-pestle style to bring out the flavors. Thus, the Thymeline lemonade mixes the herb with fresh lemon juice and Ketel One vodka from Croatia, which is new on the market. Other drinks just go their own way. The Summer Old-Fashioned is a lash of Bulleit and bitters with a raspberry creme de framboise. The Pearl Shooter is a kind of malted Bloody Mary—that’s the blue cheese blended in—with an oyster in it. The Spiced Mint Margarita, my favorite, surpasses the off-the-shelf version for using Patron Silver and a Mezcal Joven produced for a brand called Illegal Mezcal. This version layers in roasted pineapple, simple syrup mint, grilled lime, ginger, and shishito pepper—no wonder the nose is so complicated.

When North Fork winery Lieb Cellars introduced its Bridge Lane label in 2004—intended to showcase lighter, fruitier, everyday wines—few high-end vintners were showcasing wine in boxes. It was bottles all the way, baby. But in the span of a decade, so much has changed. Like a growing number of wineries, Bridge Lane has replaced the cork stoppers on its bottles with screw-on caps, so there’s no need to pack a corkscrew for beachside sipping. At the same time, eco-friendly, recyclable boxed wines have gained market share (Bridge Lane now offers three-liter bags in boxes, the equivalent of four bottles). And for 2014, add to the list one more packaging innovation: wines sold in 20-liter kegs. That’s right: kegged wine has arrived, bringing new meaning to Hamptons keg parties. Forget the fraternity beer-keg associations: Instead, these festive plastic kegs topped in bright colors are intended for serving wine at weddings and large parties. Indeed, Bridge is so bullish on kegs, a full third of its wine going forward will be sold in kegs. “Bridge Lane is all about breaking tradition and being innovative while still offering great-tasting wine at reasonable price points,” explains Dana Kowalsick, marketing and Wine Club manager for Lieb Cellars. The kegs, which each hold the equivalent of 26 bottles of Bridge’s Chardonnay, rosé, and Merlot-based blends, launched in March, and are a logical extension of the fast-growing wine-on-tap trend seen in restaurants and bars over the last few years. However, Kowalsick says, Lieb is the first winery in New York to sell kegged wine directly to consumers as well as distribute it wholesale. “[Kegs] are perfect for weddings and large parties because they produce less waste,” she continues. “All you need is a standard beer tap [the wine will last for up to three days with a tap] or a kegerator [the wine will last for up to three months].” The boxes and kegs are available for purchase at all three of Lieb’s tasting rooms (Mattituck, Cutchogue, and East Hampton) as well as through the bridgelanewine.com website. The bottled wines are also distributed in retail stores throughout New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey. 3050 Oregon Road, Cutchogue, 734-1100; bridgelanewine.com Beautifully boxed wine is making a strong showing at weddings and other large gatherings.

A Cut Above FROM CLASSIC STEAKS PRESENTED TABLESIDE TO CASUAL RIFFS ON FAMILIAR DISHES, BEEF REIGNS SUPREME AT SOME OF THE EAST END’S MOST LEGENDARY RESTAURANTS AND NOTABLE HOT SPOTS. BY MATTHEW WEXLER
T
he Palm (94 Main St. at the Huntting Inn, East Hampton, 324-0411; thepalm.com) has been a steakhouse fixture in the Hamptons since its opening at the historic Huntting Inn in 1980. The establishment serves well-marbled USDA Prime beef, aged for a minimum of 35 days, and all the usual suspects (filet mignon, rib eye) can be found, but for a bit of flair, order the 36-ounce, double-cut New York strip sliced tableside. And though the meat certainly stands on its own, condiment cravers will appreciate the choice of brandy peppercorn, hollandaise, béarnaise, or chimichurri sauces for dipping. For a riff on surf and turf, order your steak Classic Oscar style for a topping of jumbo lump crabmeat, asparagus, and hollandaise. Bobby Van’s Steakhouse (2393 Montauk Hwy., Bridgehampton, 5370590; bobbyvans.com) is another mainstay of the East End steakhouse scene with a presence spanning 45 years. Truman Capote was a regular in the ’60s, and today’s diners have their own appreciation for the 28-day dryaged steaks that have become an East End mainstay. Executive Chef Craig Jermin (who oversees the West 50th Street location in New York City) says the dry-aging process makes the steaks more tender and creates a nutty, slightly smoky flavor profile. The porterhouse is a showstopper and perfect for two or more: The cut includes both the tenderloin filet (lean) and New York strip (more marbling and packed with flavor). Simply seasoned with salt and pepper and finished with butter, be sure to save the bone for your favorite furry friend. Gaining more popularity in recent years are cuts that were once
considered cast-offs. Enter Southampton Publick House (40 Bowden Sq., Southampton, 283-2800; publick.com) and its boneless short ribs braised with head brewer Evan Addario’s imperial porter, black ale rich with toffee, chocolate, and caramel notes. It’s the ideal vehicle for a slow braise that allows the short ribs time to tenderize and absorb the beer’s complex flavors. The brewery also offers classic steak frites, rib eye, and sirloin filet prepared on the grill. Executive Chef and founder Jason Weiner of Almond (1 Ocean Road, Bridgehampton, 537-5665; almondrestaurant.com) also has an affinity for lesser-used cuts such as the hanger steak and the flatiron. “At the restaurant, we specialize in the fantastic things that, for whatever reason, are underutilized, misunderstood, or underappreciated,” says Weiner. “Hanger steak [is] a bit toothy and gamey, but that’s why it makes for such an interesting and complex meal. And the flatiron is a cut that is quite literally rescued from the shoulder of the animal. It’s the part that usually gets ground into hamburger because it’s thought to be too tough to be used for anything else, but if butchered correctly, it has the leanness and tenderness of a filet mignon but with a heck of a lot more flavor.” Sometimes a little indulgence does the trick, and Noah’s (136 Front St., Greenport, 477-6720; chefnoahs.com) filet mignon sliders layer tender beef, creamed spinach, and truffle hollandaise on a toasted brioche bun. “The inspiration for the slider,” says chef Noah Schwartz, “was to put all of my favorite flavors from a traditional steakhouse into one small bite.

ehind the curtain at the prodigious pop-up restaurant BLT Steak at Capri Southampton, chef Cliff Crooks is pulling the culinary strings to great acclaim. A former Top Chef contestant, Crooks is piloting the kitchen in its second year on the East End, and the ratings continue to declare it a hit.
BLT Steak is celebrating its second year, what do you enjoy the most about your time here? There are so many familiar faces,
FOR SALAD Iceberg lettuce, washed and dried Radicchio, washed and dried Red radishes, sliced paper thin Feta cheese, diced (6 oz.) Red onion, halved and thinly sliced Cucumber, peeled and diced Corn kernels Grape tomatoes, halved Green onions, thinly sliced Hearts of palm, drained and cut into
bite-size pieces Fresh chives, snipped Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced Dried oregano In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, mayonnaise, and mustard. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the olive and grape seed oils until smooth. Stir in oregano, and add salt and pepper to taste. Chop the lettuce and radicchio into bite-size pieces and toss in a large bowl. Add two-thirds of the vinaigrette and season to taste before tossing and placing in bowls. Add the remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and toss with remaining vinaigrette before topping the greens with the mixture. Go to hamptons-magazine.com/dining for an extra recipe.
and the welcoming nature of the people in the Hamptons made me so happy to bring back the concept for another summer. You had a stint on competitive culinary television. What was that like? It was intense; knowing that it’s a
chef, is it challenging leading the culinary direction for multiple restaurants at the same time? The position definitely has its chal-
lenges—it’s the same teaching and guiding, developing specials and menus, and maintaining quality and costs, but on a much larger scale. Favorite East End town? Montauk. What do you cook at home? I’m likely grilling up a whole fish in the backyard with my girlfriend and pairing it with a fresh green salad and vegetables. What is your favorite summer ingredient?
Anything pickled. Pickling is my favorite summer thing. Take fresh peaches and nectarines, enjoy them in the summer, but preserve them so you can use them in December, too.H

“I
grew up on Long Island, so opening in the Hamptons felt like a very personal milestone,” says fashion designer Michael Kors, who jumped at the opportunity to bring his sought-after lifestyle brand to the East End exactly five years ago. “An easy, relaxed glamour has always been at the core of our brand. The Michael Kors woman is most definitely spending a few, if not most, of her summer weekends out East.” Indeed, with key pieces including versatile day-to-night dresses, sunglasses, soft totes, and great sandals in constant rotation, Kors’ eponymous collection seems tailor-made for the chic, effortless lifestyle intrinsic to the North Fork. “The Hamptons woman is confident, glamorous, and sporty,” Kors says. “So my Hamptons stores always mix things up. A cozy cardigan juxtaposed with a sleek maillot—it’s the perfect mix for out East.” Sublimely curated, the brand’s all-white East Hampton boutique has been a key fixture on Newtown Lane since opening in 2009. The shop is filled with superlative summer essentials, including the label’s coveted aviators, oversize watches, and flat or heeled leather sandals. Classic
designs in white, sand, and black ground the seasonal collections, though there are always printed beach cover-ups, bright knits, and accessories in punchy shades like citron, salmon, and cobalt with a lively summer bent. “Summer is definitely my favorite season,” explains the designer. “I think there’s something about it that speaks to fashion and fun. People take more risks, they wear more color, and yet there’s still an easiness. It’s a little more undone, which I love. The new Fall collection appears just as spirited. Long-sleeve pullovers are paired with miniskirts in matching graphic camouflage, olive leather jackets are updated with safari-inspired pockets, and denim and printed cargo pants bridge the gap between summer and fall seamlessly. On the accessories side, footwear is rendered in a luxe espresso suede, while feminine top-handle totes and zip pouches come in the bold military print too. “I love the camo because fashion camo is made to stand out,” says Kors. Just as all of the designer’s elevated, yet wearable designs are. 19 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, 267-2200; michaelkors.com H

Nedenia Hutton Craig, who founded Dee Hutton this past October. Craig has crafted a line that takes a modern approach to the classical atelier: “I tried to gear the designs to a bit of a younger audience,” she says. “I wanted clothes that have that beautiful, classic, simple-but-rich base.” Much of Craig’s inspiration comes from her grandmother, Dina Merrill, the East Hampton style icon, actress, and Post cereal heiress. “She has always been effortlessly glamorous but, at the same time, put together,” Craig says.“There’s a picture of her on every one of my inspiration boards.” Specific images in Craig’s mind when designing include a vision of her grandmother in crisp tennis whites and outfitted in an elegant jumpsuit. “When I close my eyes and think about my grandmother’s style in East Hampton, what’s always stayed with me is that classic American look,” Craig says. While Dee Hutton is being sold at the Dee Hutton Studio in Manhattan, she will also hold a trunk show August 22 and 23 at Space 16 in Southampton. Space 16, 16 Hill St., Southampton H

ewelry designer Tamara Comolli’s youth was spent living in Germany, France, Spain, and Gibraltar, creating a wealth of experience that brings dimension to her breathtaking jewelry designs. Famous for her eye-popping bold-colored gemstones, Comolli’s line takes its inspiration from understated luxury and her own well-travelled eye. And with stores in Germany, Palm Beach, and here in Southampton, Comolli has a global reach. But during her time spent out East, her eye hones in on local treasures. It is a very Hamptons aesthetic that inspires Comolli’s style. “To capture the essence of the Hamptons, the interior of my home is composed of white wooden wall panels and window benches featuring a very large and open kitchen,” she explains. “Even my home in Bavaria looks like a Swiss mountain home from the outside, but when you step inside it is very East End. To complete the vibe, I’ve even shipped furniture to Europe from Homenature (6 Main St., Southampton, 287-6277; homenature.com), one of my favorite Southampton stores. For other home design ideas, Comolli loves “to browse through Mecox Gardens (66 Newtown
106
Lane, East Hampton, 329-9405) for floral and landscape inspiration” and often finds “great items throughout the village of Sag Harbor that I often incorporate into my home as well as in the window display of my store.” Balsam Farms in Amagansett (corner of Windmill and Town Lanes, Amagansett; balsamfarms.com) is another beloved stop. “For great organic produce, I love making the trip down,” explains Comolli. When it comes to fashion, Comolli is fiercely loyal, and Scoop Beach (51 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, 329-6800; scoopnyc.com) is among her favorites for day-to-day outfits. “It is just my style, very casual but still chic and trendy. Not to mention, it always has the best jeans!” She also loves Complements Lingerie (89 Main St.,

Southampton, 287-4788): “I buy anything from great cashmere dusters to swimwear, and very good-quality lingerie,” she says. For the loose tops that serve as staples of her wardrobe, Comolli has a select few go-tos, but she is particularly devoted to Carleen Ligozio (29 Main St, Southampton, 204-0104). “Carleen has a unique and surprising taste, and offers amazing quality and hand-selected niche brands,” she explains. “I particularly love her Moroccan kaftans.” Also atop her list is Kathy Comelli (available at Tamara Comolli Fine Jewelry Collection, 27 Main St., Southampton, 283-7600; tamaracomolli.com) “for her famous tunics,” she says. “We always have trunk shows for Kathy at my stores in Palm Beach, and we had one for her in Southampton this summer too.” When it comes to jewelry, Comolli is all set with her own, but that doesn’t mean she’s opposed to checking out the competition. “For fun, I do like to explore and see what others offer,” she says. “In particular, I love to browse the little antiques shops in Bridgehampton for inspiration.” H

was to my father, [who] said, ‘Son, you’ve got one more thing on your plate, but you can do it.’” says Esiason. “The second was to Deford, who said, ‘We need an important person to go out and fully support funding for the cure of cystic fibrosis. You are it.’ ” Breitling has partnered with Esiason in these efforts for more than two decades, and Esiason gives credit to the entire brand, including the company’s former longtime USA president, Marie Bodman. “Over the past 20 years, Breitling has been our longeststanding supporter and partner,” says Esiason, whose foundation has raised more than $100 million since it began. “They recognized that as the father of a child with cystic fibrosis, I am
doing everything I can, but having a brand like Breitling on board is wonderful.” As summer winds down, Esiason’s schedule kicks into high gear with NFL pre-season games and preparations for his foundation’s latest fundraising effort: the 2014 Hamptons Races and 5K in East Hampton on September 27. Despite Esiason’s love of hard work and a packed social calendar, he admits he still relishes a little quiet time in a favorite place. “I love the Hamptons in the winter,” he shares, “when nobody is around.” For more watch features and expanded coverage, go to hamptons-magazine.com/watches.

N
orman Julius Esiason, known to the world as “Boomer,” earned his nickname in utero, because of the kicks he gave his mother while in the womb. Growing up in East Islip, Esiason was a multi-sport talent before going on to play football at the University of Maryland and then to the NFL as quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, the Arizona Cardinals, and, of course, the New York Jets. Though Esiason retired from professional football in 1997, the former MVP, pro bowler, and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year keeps a rigorous schedule, ranging from his work as a nationally broadcast sports commentator to serving as a Breitling ambassador. “In 1985 I bought a Breitling. [Since then] I have acquired close to 30,” says Esiason, a true watch lover. “I obsess about timepieces—I’m fascinated by their intricacy. With Breitling, I can’t wait until the next one comes out.” But Esiason’s most important work is with the Boomer Esiason Foundation, which is dedicated to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. “I was being honored at a dinner in 1989 and [sportswriter] Frank Deford spoke about how he’d lost his daughter to cystic fibrosis at the age of 8,” Esiason remembers emotionally. “I had never heard of the disease, but I was moved by his speech and told him I wanted to help, so I did.” In an odd twist of fate, Esiason’s son Gunnar was diagnosed with the disease in 1993. “After the doctor told us, I made two calls.

Kelly Rutherford captivated audiences with her role on the hit series Gossip Girl, a calming adult force in a dramatic teen television world. But now she finds herself facing the cruelest of real-life dramas—an intense battle for custody of her children, Hermes, 7, and Helena, 5. Following a tempestuous 2010 divorce from German businessman Daniel Giersch, a judge ruled that they share custody and that the children live primarily with their father in Monaco, but Rutherford continues to battle for her children in the courts. The ensuing legal struggle has caused her to make dozens of trips across the Atlantic—it would challenge the resolve of any mother.

“If this is what I’m supposed to do in my life, to help other women and other parents, then it’ll be worth it.” owever, always a true reflection of her strength of character, Rutherford has taken everything she’s learned in her own case and channeled it into the Children’s Justice Campaign (childrensjusticecampaign.org), a not-for-profit organization that helps others caught in the quagmire of the family court system. And though “talking shop” at such a complicated time can be difficult, Rutherford graciously shares about her upcoming acting projects, the jewelry line she’s launching, and the heart-wrenching twists in her custody saga as well as the great joy she still gets from summer in the Hamptons with her kids. ROSANNA SCOTTO: Kelly, how are you spending your summer so far? KELLY RUTHERFORD: I’ve been traveling back and forth to France. The kids have been here, then they went to see their dad for two weeks, and then they’re going to come back for three weeks, so we’ve just been enjoying our time. My son’s been taking guitar lessons, my daughter’s been taking ballet, and we’ve been in the Hamptons a lot. What do you like to do when you come out to the Hamptons? We love to go to the beach and to all of the wonderful events for kids out here. We just have fun, we see friends, we have play dates, and we relax a lot. My kids are obsessed with La Fondita now. I like Tutto Il Giorno, and the Clic Bookstore & Gallery is probably my favorite store out here right now. Are you here for the whole summer? I come mostly on weekends, but I’m hoping to be out here for a chunk of August. Sometimes you can be really busy out here, going to the various charity events and friends’ homes, but, for instance, last night, I really did nothing. I had a few hours at home just walking around, and I was, like, I really love it out here. It’s so pretty, it’s so quiet, and it smells so good. I was really enjoying the moment.
I’m so happy that you’re getting a good chunk of time with your kids this summer. It’s great; we enjoy every minute together for obvious reasons. Everyone else sends their kids to camp in the summer; my kids and I, we just hang out, and it’s beautiful. Given my situation, it’s the opposite—camp for us is to be together. Even if we’re sitting in traffic from Southampton to East Hampton, we’ve got some music going, and we’re singing—it’s just really important time for us. Do the children seem good? Are they happy? They’re good, but they’re getting older so they’re much more outspoken about their feelings on the situation. They think it’s unfair: they’ve basically been told that I should move to France. I say, “Well, you guys are US citizens, and mommy’s a US citizen; your dad was living in the US when we got married and before we got married, and none of us are from France.” I can see how your kids don’t understand it, because adults can’t understand how it’s possible that these children are now living in France with a man who has basically been exiled from this country. Correct. And we still don’t even know why he was exiled from this country. Because he’s a foreigner, he’s actually being treated better, in some ways, than the tax-paying US citizen. Every evaluator said the children should be with me as their primary parent—that was ignored when the kids were sent to France. Since then, I’ve traveled 60 times back and forth. Traveling 60 times back and forth has got to be so costly. Basically everything I make goes to traveling. This is why I started the Children’s Justice Campaign, along with cofounder Patrice Lenowitz. It’s really to educate people about what’s really going on—if you bankrupt the mother before she can appeal and before you send her children to a foreign country, then she’s forced to just focus on trying to figure out how to see her children. To appeal a case like mine, it takes an enormous amount of time, and if there is anything even minimally wrong with
the way the appeal is done, they can throw it out. Caring parents go in wanting what’s best for the kids, and are willing to negotiate, [but the way the system has been set up] is not in the best interest of the kids. You’ve gone from actress to activist—has that been a difficult change for you? It has. To be honest, I’m ready to get back to work. I miss it—[acting] is something that I love; it inspires me. I’m ready to get on another series. It looks like I’m going to be doing a film, which is great. [The activism] has pulled all of my attention away from the life that I have built, in terms of my career, and the things that I love to do, and being a mother. But at the same time, if this is what I’m supposed to do in my life to help other women and other parents, then it’ll be worth it. I’ve always supported children’s organizations and women’s organizations, so it’s certainly aligned with what I believe in. Every time I see you, you seem calm under pressure. What happens when you go home? I cry in the shower. It’s emotional—just them being here and me wanting to keep them here and be with them every day. I have had to stay strong for them; I have to do my best to stay positive. I’m doing my best to keep my kids healthy through this, and that’s what I focus on every day. You’re getting back into the acting business? I did the show Reckless on CBS and Being Mary Jane for BET with Gabrielle Union. It’s been nice to be able to go and do five episodes here and two episodes there, but now I’m so ready to go back and work. I miss showing up on the set. You’ve also been doing some jewelry. Yes. One of my best friends and neighbors, Jennifer Creel, makes beautiful jewelry. And I said, “I just want something really simple—like some little hearts or stars.” So we made some, and she was wearing them, I was wearing them, and then our friends were, like, “Those are so cute!” We thought, Let’s just do a really simple line, and so we did—it’s called Love... A Jewelry Story. It’s very sweet. H

THE BIG
BITE SHARKS HAVE LONG BEEN THE SEA’S SCARIEST CREATURES, BUT NOW THEY FIND THEIR VERY EXISTENCE THREATENED AS SCIENTISTS WORK TO SAVE THESE MISUNDERSTOOD MONSTERS. BY JAMES STURZ
I
t’s 8:26 AM when the R/V Shinnecock pulls in its first trawl—a juvenile horseshoe crab and baby tautog. Bluefish are flitting at the surface of Shinnecock Bay, and the eight-person crew from Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) is out this morning to catalog the bay’s water quality and life. There’s devotion among the scientists and volunteers on this 35-foot platform research craft. They started this project in 2012 with a clear vision—to take care of what’s happening in the Long Island university’s aquatic backyard and to see how to protect and improve it. A second and third trawl reveal striped sea robins, anchovies, shrimp, comb jellies, and a half-dozen varieties of crab. Other days, they’ll be joined by stingrays, fluke, and grouper. But these are small fish in a vast pond. They’re only half of the story. The other half is sharks. Forty years ago, Peter Benchley’s Jaws transformed Long Island into shark central. Inspired by the real-life story of shark hunter Frank Mundus, who claims to have harpooned a 4,550-pound great white off Montauk Point in 1964, the novel was set in the fictional town of Amity, allegedly somewhere between Bridgehampton and East Hampton. By the time Steven Spielberg’s adaptation followed a year later, the book had already sold 5.5 million copies and spurred a worldwide fascination with hunting sharks. Spielberg’s film changed cinema, introducing film’s first blockbuster and creating a feeding frenzy of fear and concern. But by the time Benchley died in 2006 and Mundus passed away two years later, both had taken up a new fight: Each had become a staunch conservationist. Now Stony Brook is leading the way in that conservation, protecting sharks

with a mix of advocacy and hard science, in the face of estimates that approximately 100 million of these ocean predators are being killed each year. Chief among the team is Demian Chapman, who travels the globe with peculiar luggage: a bright orange hard-side suitcase crammed full of endangered shark fins. When I meet him at Stony Brook University’s main campus, the 40-year-old professor has just returned from the Bahamas, Belize, and Fiji, and is preparing to administer a graduate-student exam before taking off again for South Africa and Hong Kong. A new batch of fins to add to his stockpile is drying in a plastic bin outside, and he sheepishly admits, “I’ve got to go wash my hands. You get used to the smell, but you can never be totally oblivious to it.”
H
alf of the world’s shark fins pass through the ports of Hong Kong, making their way to mainland China and elsewhere, many to be bleached and shredded for shark-fin soup. It’s a long-standing practice, but a complicated one, and in 2009, Chapman and his colleagues developed a DNA-testing technique to trace the fins back to their region of origin. He then expanded the testing to other species to better understand the complex nature of the global trade. “Jaws was definitely bad for sharks,” Chapman tells me in his office. “Tournaments like the ones in Montauk already existed, but then killing them became the new hot thing. The sharks were villains, and they put the fishermen on the map.” After the initial craze waned, though, developments overseas spurred on

the hunt. “By the 1980s, the Chinese economy grew, and that had nothing to do with Jaws,” Chapman continues. “There was a new middle class with plenty of disposable income, and the luxury product they wanted was soup, which can cost $100 a bowl in restaurants.” Complicating matters, the United States Fisheries then pushed American fishermen toward catching sharks, both to answer the new demand and to protect other fish species that had become depleted. Between 2000 and 2004, CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and its 180 member countries added great whites, whale sharks, and basking sharks to its list of animals that had to be protected worldwide. But stopping them in customs remained a problem because it was difficult to tell the 400-plus shark species apart. “Finning”—cutting fins from the sharks and then leaving the mutilated creatures to die—was the preferred harvesting approach, because it left fishing boats’ freezers open for more valuable catches, like tuna. In some cases, fishermen would even slice the fins from females, removing embryos and taking their tiny fins as well. But while finning of sharks has become less common—whether by individual nations’ regulations, or an increased market for the sharks’ meat, cartilage, jaws, and oils—it hasn’t decreased the numbers being killed. “Sharks don’t reproduce fast enough for aquaculture,” Chapman says. “So they’re getting depleted.” Efforts to add additional shark species to the endangered species list were

Shark fins laid out to dry on a street corner in Hong Kong. Shark fin soup has long been a luxury enjoyed by China’s wealthy, but environmentalists say shark populations around the world have been decimated by its consumption.

similarly hindered because the task of telling the fins apart seemed insurmountable. But in 2012, Chapman and his wife, Debra Abercrombie, developed a fin guide, based on simple visible physical differences. “We taught ourselves how to identify them, traveling the world and looking at sharks, and making sure there weren’t variations among the species in different areas,” Chapman explains. Funding came from the US government and the Pew Charitable Trust, and the pair displayed the fins and their guide (available at sharkfinid.com) to delegates at the CITES conference in Bangkok in 2013. Three hammerhead species, porbeagles, and oceanic whitetips were added to the list along with all manta rays. Those regulations take effect worldwide this September 14.

ut back to Chapman’s bag. He’s wheeled it through airports around the globe, showing it to customs officers at ports. “I spend a lot of time doing paperwork,” Chapman admits, “but you can get through customs pretty easily with a good story, and I’ve got one.” Chapman explains that in one hour he can train a customs officer to spot illegally sourced fins and that the training is inspiring people to want to do their part. “They see how easy it is to make a big difference with a global problem,” he says. Chapman—whose grandfather had a shark tattoo on his arm—became interested in sharks as a child in New Plymouth, New Zealand, but it changed when he met Ellen Pikitch, a Bensonhurst, New York, native who grew up mesmerized by fish on summer outings to Coney Island.

“JAWS WAS DEFINITELY BAD FOR SHARKS. TOURNAMENTS LIKE THE ONES IN MONTAUK ALREADY EXISTED, BUT THEN KILLING [SHARKS] BECAME THE NEW HOT THING.” —DEMIAN CHAPMAN was the founding director of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s global marine conservation program, headquartered at the New York Aquarium and then at the Bronx Zoo. She met Chapman while doing fieldwork in the Bahamas and later hired him to run the Institute for Ocean Conservation Science’s shark research program in 2007. In 2008 she moved the institute to Stony Brook University’s main campus, where she and Chapman are SoMAS professors as well.

Pikitch’s groundbreaking career includes leading the scientific efforts for beluga sturgeon to be listed on the US Endangered Species Act (at one time, Americans consumed 80 percent of its caviar each year). This resulted in the banning of all US imports of the fish in 2005, saving a fish heading toward extinction. She also helped lead a 2009 study of forage fish—prey species like sardines, herring, anchovies, and bunker—which according to statistics shows that direct fishing for these species constituted one-third of the world’s marine catch, and that by removing them from the ocean, we were endangering the larger fish we rely on for human food. The research has led to changes in fishery policy worldwide. Closer to home, Pikitch coleads the Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program, which is funded by a $3 million, five-year grant from the Laurie Landeau Foundation (matched by Stony Brook’s Simons Foundation) to study and restore Shinnecock Bay, which has been undergoing increasingly harmful algal blooms. In addition to the trawls, the work includes stocking 20 half-acre underwater sanctuaries with 50,000 hard-shell clams, establishing oyster beds (both bivalve species filter water, with a single oyster filtering up to 50 gallons per day), and planting eelgrass, which serves as a habitat for scallops and young fish. Southampton residents can even participate in the oyster program, in a joint effort between SoMAS and Southold’s Cornell Cooperative Extension. “Smaller systems like Shinnecock Bay let us show that protecting marine areas really works,” Pikitch tells me when we meet in New York—she’s just back from Beijing, where she was consulting on fish and food safety. “On Long Island, the Southampton trustees were very accessible, very serious, they understood the problems, and they had the power to close off areas to create clam sanctuaries without our having to deal with dueling agencies, so we did it in record time. Successes like that enhance the chance of implementing them elsewhere.”
C
hapman and his students, Mark Bond and Jasmine Valentin, operate a “chum cam” in Belize to see how marine reserves benefit sharks. These data are used to help support development of other protected areas for sharks, including the Bahamas, where all shark trade was banned in 2011 and shark-related tourism now contributes $78 million annually to the economy (with each shark producing up to $3 million in ongoing revenue in its lifetime). The fins that Chapman lugs around the globe come from Belize along with ones donated by Montauk shark fishermen. “A lot of people are against the tournaments,” Chapman says, “but if you’re going to have them, our goal is to get as much data as possible. Anything that monetizes the sharks as living creatures is good for them. That’s the best way to move conservation forward: It’s like what’s been done in safari parks in Africa.”
“SMALLER SYSTEMS LIKE SHINNECOCK BAY LET US SHOW THAT PROTECTING MARINE AREAS REALLY WORKS.” —DR. ELLEN PIKITCH In Montauk, alternatives have emerged thanks to things like cage diving with Sea Turtle Dive Charters (seaturtlecharters.com). This summer, Abercrombie will accompany local fishermen to tag shortfin mako sharks with satellites off of Long Island, growing their influence in the region and working to preserve the delicate but essential ecosystem. Back on the R/V Shinnecock, Konstantine Rountos, a freshly minted SoMAS PhD, is examining a pair of mating green crabs. This fall, he’ll start a postdoc at SoMAS after designing first-of-their-kind experiments on the effects of red tide on the early development of fish. Sara Cernadas-Martín from Spain is alongside him, taking samples of the crabs’ flesh before releasing them back into the bay. As a commercial trawler passes us, Andy Brosnan, the Shinnecock’s captain, says, “This is a summer community, so people don’t know what’s here in winter. But there are harbor and harp seals, and snowy owls that fly down from the Arctic because they only feed in light. I saw one in the Quantuck parking lot, chewing on ice.” Black cormorants greet us on the dock as we step ashore at Stony Brook’s Marine Sciences Center in Southampton, an $8 million, 15,000-square-foot facility that opened in September 2013. A 2,400-square-foot outdoor wet lab for studies that need natural light sits outside, while an indoor seawater lab holds 17 tanks for experiments, plus 10 more for studying algal blooms. Powered by a 100-gallon-per minute pump, the entire array can bring water in from the bay, or use a closed, filtered flow that can be further adjusted by tweaking the calcium levels, salinity, and temperatures to satisfy any scientist’s parameters. The first experiments began this summer. A second floor features classroom labs and a conference room with enviable views of summer homes, resident swans, and the water. There’s work to be done in Shinnecock Bay and in oceans around the world, but it’s impossible to stand in these halls and not feel that Stony Brook’s fleet of scientists is making a difference. H

Front exterior of 3 Egypt Lane, East Hampton.
Two for the Show A TWO-LOT, TWO-ACRE PROPERTY IN THE ESTATE SECTION COMBINES THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. BY MIKE OLSON
PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAKE RAJS
A
Sunday drive down East Hampton’s Egypt Lane can feel like its own miniature history lesson. There on the western side of the street is the Village Natural Trail, once a private garden and now 24 acres with 25 wooden footbridges leading visitors over streams and frog ponds. Farther south sits the Egypt Lane Historic District, a rare collection of 18th-century saltbox and Cape Cod homes, plus a Federal or two, moved here 100 years ago from elsewhere on the East End. And it all culminates at Dunemere Lane, one border of the legendary Maidstone Club that sits on the shores of the Atlantic. With so much of this acreage set aside over the centuries, the opportunity to own a home on this prestigious, historic stretch rarely comes along. Now, however, a unique two-acre compound has hit the market in this stretch of East Hampton Village’s estate section, creating an unparalleled buying opportunity.
Peter M. Turino, president/principal broker of Brown Harris Stevens of the Hamptons, has had a personal relationship with this property just off Pondview Lane for some time. In fact, he was the broker who sold it to the current owners nearly 30 years ago, a couple that lovingly renovated and expanded a humble carriage house into what it is today—a seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom home with excellent space and a beautiful design. “It’s very European inside with very good flow,” says Turino. “There are two living rooms, a dining room, and a family room—it’s a lot of space for entertaining and relaxing.” Special as those common areas may be, the private spaces are just as impressive, highlighted by Turino’s favorite spot, the large master suite.

continued from page 139 Outside, a generously sized patio overlooks the heated pool, surrounded by landscaping featuring specimen copper beech trees and hydrangea beds. “The back patio area is beautifully landscaped and receives a full dose of sunlight from the south because it’s so close to the ocean,” Turino explains. “It’s always sunny and warm.” For those not content to lounge by the pool, the property also has tennis—though, technically, that court sits on an adjacent property. Roughly five years after buying the main home with Turino’s help, the owners also scooped up the lot next door to create a two-acre compound. That’s the location of the Har-Tru court, as well as a detached garage and a three-bedroom guesthouse with a kitchen, sunroom and media room. With two properties in one located in the choicest part of East Hampton, Turino knows this Egypt Lane compound represents a remarkable investment, particularly at its current $18 million price for the entire estate, including a three-bedroom guest cottage. “A compound means more privacy and more space,” Turino explains. “At the same time, you could rent the guest cottage or even sell it if you wanted to. There’s a lot of versatility in having two lots.” Of course, it’s the location less than a half-mile from the ocean (with the links of the Maidstone Club located just beyond the backyard hedgerow) that is the ultimate draw. “The East Hampton estate area affords a great deal of
“You’re buying a gorgeous location. Most of the houses on the street are remarkable in some historic framework or another.” — PETER M. TURINO protection for the classic, older properties, and that’s what you’re getting,” Turino adds. “You’re buying a gorgeous location. Most of the houses on the street are remarkable in some historic framework or another.” It may be difficult to tell from its modern finishes and amenities, but this Egypt Lane home has some history of its own, as it originally served as a carriage house belonging to the William S. Jenney house, nicknamed “Little Close,” that still stands to the south. While the nearby Egypt Lane Historic District and its cozy homes represent a “vivid illustration of early 20th-century antiquarianism,” according to East Hampton’s register of historic places, this enormous estate, built in 1922, kept different company. “Egypt Lane houses are certainly smaller scale— little wood cottages that have a more Colonial Revival character,” explains Robert Hefner, the
village’s director of historic services. “It was a rural little side street of the village, and the Jenney house is the major summer colony house on it. So it was a little bit more removed from the village context.” In that sense, Hefner says, the original home and since-transformed carriage house are much more closely associated with the grand ocean estates one might find on the eastern plain of Further Lane—though that will come as no surprise to those who take in the grandeur firsthand of this one-of-a-kind compound. “Most properties have maybe a pool or a staff apartment,” adds Brown Harris Stevens’ Turino. “This compound has a main house, a guest house, a pool, and a tennis court. So you have all four things in that Maidstone vicinity within walking distance of the beach. That is unique.” 27 Main St., East Hampton, 903-6115; bhshamptons.com H
INSIGHT In addition to being the president of Brown Harris Stevens of the Hamptons, Peter M. Turino spent three years as president of the Hamptons and North Fork Realtors Association (HANFRA).
The Maidstone Club golf hole behind this Egypt Lane home is one of only six that date back to the original links course at the turn of the century. The other 12 are located on the Gardiner Peninsula, 80 acres south of Hook Pond that the club acquired in 1922.
The dining room, which connects to other public areas, is made for entertaining.

A PANEL OF EAST END EXPERTS IN REAL ESTATE, DESIGN, AND LANDSCAPING DISCUSS THE MANY FACETS OF HAMPTONS LAND PRESERVATION WITH EDITOR-AT-LARGE MICHAEL BRAVERMAN. Michael Braverman: We’re going to talk about land use and land preservation, which is a very important topic because it’s one of those things that, if it isn’t done right, you don’t get a second chance. Let’s discuss some general comments as to how well we’ve done. Christina Galesi: The Community Preservation Fund that was established in 1999, the money that it has raised has been able to preserve some of the local climate. If it hadn’t been consistently lining up these parcels over time, we wouldn’t have these open spaces that everyone loves. And we have the Peconic Land Trust—the people involved have worked so hard over the years to preserve farmland and to keep this wonderful heritage alive. Eliza Gatfield: It’s incredible the amount of land that has been saved. Over the four or five years that I’ve been here [in the Hamptons], I’ve been very impressed by the efforts that have been made in preserving farmland. Seth Kelley: I grew up out here, and the changes I’ve seen since I was a kid have been dramatic. There has been pretty good stewardship in protecting our landscape and also the historical aspect of this being a farming community. But at the same time, this has also been a resort community, so you
142
do need to balance the money coming in during the summer and also the environment year-round. CG: I was thinking about how they’ve really preserved a sense of landscape, an aesthetic that embraces local horticulture and greenery, and when it’s taken into a modern context—especially redesigned and rethought through a modern building, as you see with the Parrish Art Museum—it’s such a commentary of where we are. We have a traditional culture that we’re going to sustain in terms of farming, but we’re also moving forward and embracing the modern arts. Silas Marder: There’s the great example about what The Nature Conservancy and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts were able to do with the property in Montauk. The Nature Conservancy [was able] to acquire that property in order to [organize] community events that focus on both the arts and the preservation of the environment. Montauk has a very significant amount of protected land; it has been one of the communities that has been right at the forefront of protecting land. That huge continued on page 144

RIGHT: According to Silas Marder, “More attention should be paid to preserving smaller quarter-acre properties. When these lots become clear-cut and stripped, there is a dramatic effect, making it impossible to re-create the benefit that had been there.”
continued from page 142 parcel is beautiful—right up there in the cliffs and near the water—to see it go in that direction is something we should be proud of. MB: Do the people who are new here care about the communities’ concerns regarding land preservation? CG: They do care; they’re attracted to this place for its beauty, natural resources, and open spaces. People who end up buying here want to have their views. It’s going to be a continued effort, a collective one. It’s not really ever going to end, but the integrity of this place is just so authentic, you naturally feel a certain sense of responsibility and I think the new buyers get that. SK: If developers don’t have the integrity to preserve [East End style] then it’s up to the public, or the architecture review boards. There should be better design review, and if the developers won’t do it, then the towns need to, and then we’ll see what’s being maintained for the future. EG: It has to do with profit over values or vice-versa. In my company, I made a very clear choice—and this doesn’t sound like your typical business choice, but it’s actually being studied in business schools now—where profit really isn’t our foundation. It’s important, but first and foremost is creating work of moral integrity and sustaining an environment. I can imagine that in the real estate industry that’s very much something you could also do, but it’s an interesting conversation to have. Groups of developers, realtors, and builders could come together for a quarterly meeting to create an ongoing discussion so that profit doesn’t always trump integrity. SM: You’re completely right. So many conversations that we find ourselves in are about connecting people to the land. An example is something like the presence of bees—you start talking about how certain kinds are harmless while others are quite territorial, and talk about how essential they are as pollen collectors for our food crops. You show them how lucky they’d be if they had bees, how endangered they are, with the colony collapses, and clients get very affected by it and all of a sudden they want beehives. MB: I see this attitude sometimes when people say, “Let’s up-sell and keep everyone else out.” So how do we create a viable community? SK: The solutions aren’t very clear. You do have a year-round community, but there isn’t a lot of industry to sustain young people here their whole lives, unless they have a family business that’s established. To be open to

business out here is very difficult. You see restaurants and small businesses come and go because of that very fact. EG: I see that with my business. We’re busy all year because we use the Internet, and without that, we would definitely be in a difficult situation. SM: Historically, we’ve gone from shutting down entirely in the winter months to taking on more projects that can carry through. Now, we’re working on projects straight through the winter. With technology, so much of what’s going on is going to be so much more desensitized. When I was a kid, I was always inspired by the stories I would hear within the artist communities and the social circles about getting together and interacting. I think that, if we return to that, we can really make these important decisions. H

“T
he teak butterfly table was originally a beautifully shaped slab from a fallen banyan tree found in the jungles of Sumatra,” explains designer Andrianna Shamaris, who traveled to Indonesia during the dry season to develop her signature organic whitewash collection. As part of the new St. Barts line, the teak butterfly table is one of a series of furniture pieces made from leaving the wood to bake in the sun for over a year, which—combined with rain and sea salt over time—turn the wood to a beautiful white. “At eight inches thick, the slab was too large for a dining table so I sliced it in half, left one side in its natural form, and straightened one side so the pieces could be joined together to achieve the effect of naturally formed wings,” says Shamaris, whose collection also includes accessories, art objects, and architectural elements. 9 Main St., Southampton, 524-5638; andriannashamarisinc.com H

METROPOLIS The Brando chair from Todd Hase Furniture combines functionality with Art Decoinspired design. “The pared-down geometry and graceful curves of Art Deco furniture have always interested me,” says designer Todd Hase, who along with wife and business partner, Amy, designs and curates a full collection of upholstery, tables, case goods, accessories, and textiles largely inspired by 1940s French design. “While the Brando chair is a statement piece, it can also be easily integrated into modern interiors,” adds Hase, who has designed custom pieces for the likes of Donald Trump and Cameron Diaz. The chair’s solid frame can be painted, leafed, or stained in any color, while the seating can be upholstered in any of the designer’s luxe fabrics. In addition to the Todd Hase Collection, the line also includes a highly curated selection of antiques found during the Hases’ travels to regions in France, where they recently acquired Alexander Calder silkscreens. 848 N. Sea Road, Southampton, 488-4800; toddhase.com The curves of the Brando chair ($1,820) give it an Art Deco air.
From India, With Love MICHAEL ARAM APPLIES HIS BEAUTIFULLY HANDCRAFTED METALWORK TO HIS LINE OF SERVEWARE. HAUTE COUTURE, VELVET FABRIC, AND GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE are among the influences that inspired Michael Aram’s Black Orchid collection. The statement serveware—handcrafted from nickel-plated metal with a corrugated tinlike texture—comes accented with orchid sculptures. “There is something so seductive about orchids,” says Aram. “In blackened nickel, they are even more sublime—the dark atmosphere of the orchids against the hammered metal is like the afterglow of a beautiful evening.” The new collection maintains Aram’s focus on sand-cast and hand-forged metal accessories, which he oversees from his workshop in India.

W
hitney Fairchild’s roots in the Hamptons run deep. Coming to live first in Sagaponack with her parents, she then settled in Bridgehampton, presiding over more than 15 acres of Highland Terrace for more than 30 years. In 2000 her father gave her four acres of farmland; at the time the land was planted with potatoes, rye, and corn, but the fields were totally open, defined only by a split-rail fence her father had built. “I decided to create a non-flower-filled garden,” she says, “My former garden had high-maintenance climbing roses, peonies, and flowers that required spraying; I wanted this garden to be all green with beautiful open vistas and simple plant material. Living here all year round, I did not want to see the barren sticks of hydrangeas or empty flowerbeds. I wanted plants with a structure that would be as interesting in February as they are in July.” To this end, Fairchild installed hedges to frame the property and purchased local apple trees of different varieties to create a double-rowed orchard. Though some of the original 14 trees were destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, the remainder flourishes, bursting forth with enough apples to stuff several oversize antique straw baskets. Whitney fills them each fall with the help of her two sons, John and Jamie. continued on page 150

continued from page 148 “This year I have gone even further, trying to use organic products, letting clover grow in the lawn, and allowing the privet to flower, instead of cutting it each month,” she says. “It’s so pretty to see it blowing in the wind. I teach my boys about nature. We collect fireflies and bird nests that drop, and look for worms and spiders exploring our property.” Fairchild also installed an evergreen yew hedge that frames the bluestone patio and a dark gunite swimming pool that lines up with the front door of the house on a symmetrical axis. The pool was designed to look like an English pond, protected by a Chippendale railing and gate that also defines the outside porches. “I love architectural details and researched historic houses to gain inspiration,” she says. “It looks really authentic,” Fairchild says.
“We live here all year long and enjoy the magical sense of nature.” —WHITNEY FAIRCHILD
The Kentucky bluegrass lawn is studded with some special trees, like the ones her father gave each grandson on his first birthday. John’s, a green European beech, is nine; and Jamie’s, a red copper beech, is 13. “Now the [trees] are both taller than my sons,” Fairchild says. The boys often create large forts of sticks and leaves on picnic tables surrounded by Leyland cypress. Whitney enlisted the help of her sister, Paige Patterson, who studied garden design in England and now works and lectures at Marders Garden Center and Nursery in Bridgehampton. “She is a great source of advice,” Fairchild says. “We pretended to be trees at the end of the property to get just the right effect—I wanted my land to be in keeping with the nature preserve across the street.” For Fairchild, Hamptons’ horticulture is a yearlong focus. “We live here and enjoy the magical sense of nature,” she says. It’s great for two boys to grow up where they can climb trees, pick apples, and explore secret passages. Even in the middle of winter, the branches make beautiful patterns, and then each spring, everything bursts through the snow. The buds are so exciting and the change comes dramatically. That’s why we choose to be here.” H
CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE RIGHT: The rectangular pool surrounded by a yew hedge was designed to suggest a dark, inviting pond; mature trees offer privacy and shade and blow gently in the wind; the double-rowed apple orchard is filled with ripe fruit in the fall.

“W
e want to pretend as if we threw a cane basket over our arm and skipped along in a sweet boho flowing dress while clipping pretty flowers,” muses Anastasia Casale, owner of Sag Harbor Florist. “In a world where life has become so serious, an escapist flower fantasy seems more than okay.” To lighten any mood, Casale creates coveted bouquets and arrangements utilizing English garden roses (grown in California) and local and international blooms as well as a selection of flowers grown on her North Fork farm. “The whole field-to-vase movement is gathering momentum, and many of our clients love that just-picked look,” explains Casale, who is passionate about catering to recipients’ personalities. For something like a hostess gift, Casale suggests, “a personalized arrangement that can function like a card.” For example, if the person you are gifting is a foodie dedicated to farm-to-table entertaining, Casale says, “farm-grown peonies with fresh herbs like mint or rosemary will do the trick.” 3 Bay St., Sag Harbor, 725-1400; sagharborflorist.net

Into the Wild LAGUARDIA DESIGN’S PROJECTS REGENERATE NATIVE SITES. “WE’RE SEEING MORE AND MORE REQUESTS FOR low- or no-maintenance meadows and native landscapes that you can appreciate but don’t have to engage with the way you would a traditional garden design or a manicured lawn,” says senior associate Ian Hanbach about the trends popular this summer. Hanbach’s passion lies in creating landscapes that look like extensions of the existing topography, so the impetus is natural in more ways than one. One of LaGuardia’s famed designs—the Sagaponack estate of Stephen and Sandy Perlbinder—boasts rolling meadows with native shadblow trees and a man-made pond that hides the shoreline with native plant thickets. 860 Montauk Hwy., Water Mill, 726-1403; laguardiadesign.com H

Now available at Thayer’s Hardware & Patio in Bridgehampton is the Brown Jordan Fires collection, a line of modern fireplace pieces that range from built-in designs to freestanding centerpieces. “The tables and pits are fueled by an efficient and eco-friendly source— e-NRG Bioethanol,” says Lauren Thayer Weiss, buyer at Thayer’s Hardware, explaining that unlike other outdoor fireplaces, there is no need to accommodate a gas line. “This means that you can enjoy the warmth and ambience of an open flame without any smoke, soot, or ash.” The Equinox (SHOWN) combines the look of a fire pit with a stunning handcrafted fiber cement table that can serve as a communal coffee table. 2434 Montauk Hwy., Bridgehampton, 537-0077; thayershardware.com

Youth Movement JONATHAN SMITH OF SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY SEES A NEW WAVE OF YOUNG BUYERS HEADING NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY. BY MIKE OLSON
T
hey’re coming to the Hamptons in droves: young couples comprised of high-powered professionals determined to invest their money wisely in a turnkey home. “They know exactly what they want,” says Jonathan Smith, an agent at Sotheby’s International Realty. “A young person looking for property in the Hamptons wants move-in ready—and the value of their dollar is significantly greater north of the highway.” Led by a new generation of buyers, the stodgy old days of needing to be south of the highway are over. “They’re not making more land, and space south of the highway is finite,” Smith adds. “If you’re willing to go north of the highway, you can get significantly more.” Case in point: the approximately 4,500-squarefoot home he’s selling in Sag Harbor, complete with racquetball —JONATHAN SMITH court, state-of-the-art cinema, and a large wine room. Here, the asking price is $2.5 million; Smith estimates the price could go as high as $10 million if it was further south. Those willing to expand their reach are getting more for less, without sacrificing any part of the East End experience. “The amenities and the lifestyle of the Hamptons are the same whether you live south or north of the highway,” says Smith. “Well, except that north of the highway you can get a much larger property and a brand new home for probably a third of the price.” 50 Nugent St., Southampton, 227-4950; sothebyshomes.com H

ith interest rates so low, the time has never been better to buy in the Hamptons. Now, those in the market for brand-new homes that won’t be completed until next year can still take advantage, thanks to the Wells Fargo Home Mortgage’s Builder Best program. “It allows a buyer who has identified a new construction property to lock in his loan pricing up to one year in advance,” explains Christine Curiale, branch manager of Wells Fargo’s Southampton office. While this program essentially serves as a cap for 12 months, the buyer has the option to reduce the rate should it decline in that time period. The resulting peace of mind also extends to the developers of the East End, who now have financing in place as they —CHRISTINE CURIALE continue to build. “It’s a winwin product for everybody, and it was designed that way,” adds Curiale. “What it does is take the financial guessing game away from the buyer and gives confidence to the builder. It just creates a good feeling of protection for everybody.” No wonder Wells Fargo is the preferred mortgage lender for two of the East End’s most exciting new developments: Barn & Vine Bridgehampton and Watchcase, Sag Harbor. “It grabs people’s attention because the true intention is to make all parties feel comfortable,” says Curiale. “The buyer has protection from rising rates, the builder can continue to fund the project without any hiccups, and the realtor is thrilled because they’ve got a deal that they know will close. We’re all working as a team.” 42 Hill St., Southampton, 204-2520; wfhm.com H

Quogue Revisited THE QUOGUE CLUB AT HALLOCK HOUSE MOVES FORWARD BY LOOKING BACK.
W
hile most century-old properties undergo multiple renovations that gradually depart from their initial design, the restoration of The Quogue Club at Hallock House brings the original hotel back to vintage life. Built in 1824 by the Hallock family, the inn started receiving boarders in 1827 and has been in continuous operation ever since. But in 2012 a group of local residents purchased the property and embarked on an extensive restoration project. “It was a real community effort,” says Simon Rose, chairman of the club and the driving force behind the project. “I knocked on doors.” Rose jokes about his small-town approach to get the community, which required very little convincing, involved. “People embraced the idea immediately.” A getaway with a passionate sense of time and place, the restored structure reflects the quiet splendor of a New England homestead. “We wanted

the building to capture the small-town feel that I think distinguishes Quogue from the other Hamptons,” Rose explains. The interiors, reimagined by renowned interior designer Alexa Hampton, transport guests to the days of old-money aristocracy in an understated and classic way, with 14 thoughtfully appointed rooms. The full-service resort also boasts a fitness center with yoga, barre, and Pilates classes, a private screening space, and a first-class restaurant helmed by veteran Executive Chef Matt Birnstill. “The restaurant functions like a members-only club, where the families who helped save the building have full access, alongside hotel guests, of course,” explains Rose, who thinks a stay at the hotel is the perfect way to try out the village for those considering moving to Quogue permanently—or for those looking for a bespoke beachside retreat. 47 Quogue St., Quogue, 653-0100; quogueclub.com H

Down the Grapevine The 1770 House Restaurant & Inn “A good wine program isn’t always about just the wine list; there are so many more elements to it,” says beverage director Michael Cohen, who oversees two full-time certified sommeliers. Over 250 selections make up the hotel’s collection, each accompanied by its appropriate Riedel wine glass. “We are firm believers that different wines belong in their proper glass,” says Cohen, who curates according to the tastes of international clientele as well as local restaurant guests. 143 Main St., East Hampton, 324-1770; 1770house.com
The American Hotel “I began building a Bordeaux list at a time when the greatest wines— Cru Bordeaux and esteemed Burgundies—were actually affordable,” says Ted Conklin, who owns the Sag Harbor institution. “Within a few years, I was acquiring some wines from California, a region still in its infancy in the 1970s and 1980s.” In the decades since, Conklin has amassed a collection of recent and mature vintages. Recognized by Wine Spectator as one of the finest in the world, the hotel’s wine cellar has been a Grand Award winner since 1981. 49 Main St., Sag Harbor, 725-3535; theamericanhotel.com

says food and beverage director Jennifer Oz LeRoy. “We sat down with our chef, Seth Levine, and we curated a wine list that best complements our food.” Oz LeRoy and Levine utilized local vineyards, including Wölffer Estate Vineyard and several rosés, to create ideal summer pairings. 290 Old Montauk Hwy., Montauk, 668-2345; gurneysinn.com

Founded in 1926 by two families of Italian immigrants and still owned by the Bozzi and Ganzi families, The Palm Restaurant at Huntting Inn boasts a wine list that speaks to the restaurant’s heritage. “Italian wine comprises nearly 25 percent of the entire list,” explains manager Andrew Tobin. 94 Main St., East Hampton, 324-0410; thepalm.com
This intimate spot offers a simple selection of quality wines that reflects its farm-to-table cuisine. “We believe in the simplicity of flavors,” says innkeeper Dede Gotthelf Moan. The restaurant, previously open only for breakfast and lunch, recently extended its hours to include dinner. On Friday and Saturday, it serves a range of locally sourced wines from Wölffer Estate Vineyard, Channing Daughters Winery, and Bedell Cellars, among others. 91 Hill St., Southampton, 283-6500; southamptoninn.com

THE RESIDENCE AND ITS UNIQUE PRIVATE GARDEN “Living by a garden overlooking the water” embodies this sublime location that offers both green grass and swirling water. As the eye travels across a plush lawn and garden there is a stunning mature tree as a visual centerpiece. The center garden is exclusive only to the owners of the townhouses and in fact can only be entered through one of the townhouses. It is one of only three such private gardens in all of Manhattan, and the only one that includes a magnifcent water view. Further, all of the rear townhouse facades have been designed to be seen from the garden, which adds immeasurably to the elegance of the view in all directions. With an elevator, fve levels and rooms of superb proportion, this house offers four bedrooms, four full baths, a powder room, and four terraces including a stunning top foor terrace all facing east toward the sunrise. 13 SUTTON PLACE: ILLUSTRIOUS OWNERS Two extraordinary luminaires and trailblazers of their time brought 13 Sutton Place to its current prominence. Elisabeth Marbury was a descendant of Anne Hutchinson who co-founded Rhode Island after her banishment from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Elizabeth was a pioneering American theatrical literary agent and a producer who helped shape the business methods of the modern commercial theater. Her clients included Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, she helped create and defne the American musical comedy with music by Cole Porter. Her companion was Elsie De Wolfe, whose 1913 book, The House in Good Taste, was credited with inventing the profession of “interior design.” Her design clients included The Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Henry Clay Frick. She transformed the dark, Victorian homes of the wealthy with new designs featuring light, fresh colors and 18th century French furniture. She said, “I opened the doors and windows of America, and let the air and sunshine in.” $19,950,000. WEb#10190155

Fish and chips from Indian Wells Tavern.
Cultural Cuisine INDULGE IN QUAINT AMAGANSETT’S ASSORTMENT OF UNIQUE SIGNATURE SUMMER DISHES. BY MARISA MALANGA
D’Canela D’Canela adds its own spices to Latin-inspired dishes, including the popular fajitas and the surprising shrimp and mango quesadilla. Indulge in homemade chalupas with juicy, perfectly seasoned skirt steak, fried beans, and sour cream on warm corn tortillas. They’re perfect for an adventurous night with friends. 195 Main St., Amagansett, 604-1900; dcanela.com
Felice’s Ristorante Classic and contemporary Italian favorites dot the menu at Felice’s Ristorante, which also offers catering options for your next party. “We are probably one of the few
restaurants on Long Island still serving fresh scungilli, and we make gnocchi topped with our delicious Bolognese sauce,” says co-owner Safana Evans. “And diners can choose from many desserts, but the best are our homemade cannolis.” 237 Main St., Amagansett, 267-8300; astrospizza.com
Hampton Chutney Co. The curry chutney chicken dosa is one of the hottest items on the menu, “because of the way it combines grilled chicken tossed with homemade curry chutney with spinach and sweet, balsamic-roasted onions to create a hearty yet light option,” says co-owner Isabel MacGurn. The
avocado dosa is followed by fresh avocado, arugula, tomato, and melted jack cheese. Mango lassi, orange blossom lemonade, and cardamom coffee are among the authentic Indian drink offerings at this Amagansett mainstay. 6 Main St., Amagansett, 2673131; hamptonchutney.com
Indian Wells Tavern An extensive variety of cuisine is on the menu at this Americana-style tavern, from seafood and roast chicken to ribs and large salads and
burgers. Co-owner Kevin Boles says the tavern has “been around for 22 years and [we] believe it’s a welcoming place where people can relax, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy the rest of their night.” Each night of the week offers a different specialty: steak on Tuesday, fajitas on Wednesday, or prime rib on Thursday. 177 Main St., Amagansett, 267-0400; indianwellstavern.com

Mary’s Marvelous! At this beloved family spot, every item is crafted by hand, including smoothies, muffins, scones, croissants, and quinoa cakes that cover the spectrum from sweet to savory. “We’re healthy with a sprinkle of sweet at the same time,” says owner and founder Mary Schoenlein. “Our daily favorites include the spinach pie, which consists of layers of phyllo pastry with fresh ricotta, eggs, sweet onions, an assortment of cheeses, and of course, spinach.” 207 Main St., Amagansett, 267-8796; marysmarvelous.com
Meeting House Located in picturesque Amagansett Square, the Meeting House is “a family-friendly restaurant serving seasonal, locally sourced food in a light space featuring local art,” explains head chef Tim Connors. The simple-yet-invigorating crab and avocado salad is a standout and comes topped with locally grown grape tomatoes and a drizzle of lemon oil for a tangy freshness. 4 Amagansett Square Dr., Amagansett, 267-2764
Zakura Take sushi to the next level at Zakura, which is fully furnished with a sushi bar and a more traditional drinking spot filled with flavored sake concoctions and Japanese beer.

MOVING ON UP Moby’s changes locations this summer, but it still attracts the East End crowds. Although Moby’s opened this summer in a new location, it continues to draw a crowd at its new spot. With three distinct dining areas, including the traditional main dining room, lively open back patio (for larger crowds), and a back lawn, Moby’s offers a pleasurable experience that can change depending on the mood or occasion. “The location has a lot of history, and we want to embrace that while also ensuring that our following from the past two summers at Moby Dick’s feels the connection,” says co-owner Nick Hatsatouris. Delectable dishes like wood-fired pizza and shrimp spaghettini paired with Finger Lakes rosé on tap stand out, wherever the kitchen is. 341 Pantigo Road, Amagansett, 527-5388; mobysny.com

enjoyed to the fullest with long bike rides to Sunset Beach, dips in Fresh Pond, sailing, horseback riding, and lots of wonderful dinners and bonfires on the beach with dear family and friends. One of my favorite family rituals is visiting the CSA farmstand at Sylvester Manor, where we spend mornings catching up with friends and gathering the week’s local harvest with the Manor’s windmill in the backdrop. I am so grateful to call Shelter Island home, even if it’s just on the weekends. Knowing we get to go back keeps us going all week long. H

Shelter Island is the ultimate place to unwind with loved ones—the minute you arrive you can feel the rhythm shift and peacefulness set it.
