When the Wind Blows THIS STRIKING STRUCTURE GREETS VISITORS TO WATER MILL WITH A PALPABLE SENSE OF HISTORY. BY JEAN SHAFIROFF
PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STRIFFLER
A
unique example of utilitarian wood-age architecture, the Windmill at Water Mill was built in Hog Neck (now North Haven) in 1800 and purchased by James Corwith in 1813. Documented as one of the first smock mills built on Long Island, the structure was owned and operated by the Corwith family for grinding wheat, rye, and corn for local farmers until 1888. When the windmill was reconstructed in 1813 to hold stones of different sizes—one pair for grinding wheat and oats and the other for grinding corn—the miller had to use a 36-foot tail pole to manually turn the mill cap and sails in to the wind. In 1891, Samuel Corwith sold the mill to Josiah Lombard and Marshall Ayres, owners of a large villa (now called Villa Maria) located just beside the mill. The villa was so large that it obstructed the summer’s southwest winds, rendering the mill useless. The nuns of the Order of St. Dominic purchased the estate in 1931 before donating the land to the Water Mill Village Improvement Association. In 1978, the windmill was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Although it endured many alterations throughout the centuries, the windmill remains the best surviving example of the earliest type of smock mill on Long Island. To schedule a tour of the Windmill at Water Mill (NY 27 and Halsey Lane, Water Mill), call the Water Mill Museum at 726-4625; watermillmuseum.org. H

Surf Report THE DRIVE OUT TO THE BREAK ON THE EAST END IS MARKED BY SPECIAL MOMENTS. BY JAY GALLUZZO
36
PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUG YOUNG
I
started surfing in the Hamptons more than 10 years ago. I would wake up at sunrise and ride out to Montauk with my buddies, always taking the Old Montauk Highway so we could check the conditions as we drove out. Today, as I make the same drive from my house in Amagansett, often with my young children as well as my friends, there is something poetic about taking the “low road” rather than the “new” Montauk Highway. The road itself is beautiful—with natural and architectural surprises around every corner—and I always slow down as I reach the PANOR AMIC VIEW sign at the top of one of the larger hills. It marks a brief opening in the trees where you can see the surf below. I love the feeling of anticipation as I approach it, as that glimpse of the break will define my morning. On a good day I’ll feel an adrenaline rush and prepare myself for a great day of surf. And on a not-so-good day, I’ll just enjoy the ride and make a stop at the Montauk Bake Shoppe for a coffee before heading to the beach to relax on the shore. Either way, it is always a drive well worth taking. H

individuals during my five seasons as editor-in-chief of Hamptons, and their success and stories are what we like to celebrate in this magazine. This July 4th issue is our biggest of the season, filled with local personalities who are doing some great things. Legendary photographer Arthur Elgort captures his daughter, Sophie, who is in the early stages of a very promising career and loves the lens as much as her father; and CBS 2 news anchor Chris Wragge (my buddy at the beach; you can always find him there with an American flag), who will host a Hamptons-exclusive auction of custom surfboards designed by renowned artists at ArtHamptons. Inside, on page 162, you can also read an excerpt from Marlo Thomas’s book It Ain’t Over, which features inspiring stories about women from all walks of life who have faced adversity Follow me on Twitter at and changed their lives for the better. @samanthayanks and at On page 294, chef Marc Murphy and hamptons-magazine.com his wife, Pam, entertain us at their new Bridgehampton home, while beauty guru Olivia Chantecaille gives us insight into her favorite stores on the East End on page 224. There has been much discussion surrounding the music scene in Montauk, and much of that talk centers around this week’s cover star and artist, Rufus Wainwright. Interviewed by fan and actress Naomi Watts, the two talents discuss Wainwright’s passion for Montauk as well as his recent performance at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center. Enjoy the long weekend, and hopefully I will see you at the Southampton Fresh Air Home fireworks. Be Well, Dress Well

Wishing you a wonderful Independence Day weekend! Today, July 4, we acknowledge our freedom and our right to be free by celebrating with the color palette of our flag—red, white, and blue—and enjoying fireworks and barbecues with the people we love. How blessed are we to have this freedom! Perhaps we don’t always think about what that freedom means to us and grants us each and every day. Last winter I visited Cuba and immersed myself in the culture and sights. The people are soulful and proud, and Havana was stunning and breathtakingly historic, but in sharp contrast to all the beauty and formal elegance was the Communist culture, with its propaganda posted Follow me on Twitter at everywhere. While the system @debrahalpert and on appeared to be a sophisticated one, hamptons-magazine.com even seemingly affluent people couldn’t get things as basic as powdered milk and soap. It made me realize that when we say we live where freedom reigns, we don’t often appreciate that which we have. Today, take a moment to remember that our freedom is a precious and valuable commodity and observe how fortunate we are to live in a country where we can express ourselves and where the simple and luxurious things we enjoy are readily available. Take pride in the richness of our community both in natural beauty and cultural offerings. Join in on the fireworks and festivities, and I’ll see you in town!

Bronson van Wyck Renowned event planner Bronson van Wyck has organized some of the most memorable parties of the past decade in locations all over the world. He talks about his work with Love Heals in our “Spirit of Generosity” (page 144). Describe your perfect night out in the Hamptons. Too many Dark and Stormys in
my backyard, watching the sunset over Big Fresh Pond, followed by a late dinner at Tutto Il Giorno in Southampton.
Alina Cho After spending nearly a decade as a CNN correspondent, Alina Cho is now an editor-at-large at Ballantine Bantam Dell and curates, coedits, and cowrites books on style and fashion. She interviews longtime friend Laura Slatkin in this issue’s “Style By the Sea” (page 206). How did you and Laura Slatkin meet? We
met more than a decade ago over dinner in New York. I believe we bonded over a handbag (hers, not mine—and I wanted it!). Over the years, I have become so close to Laura and her husband, Harry, that I am now the proud godmother to Ali, their 15-year-old daughter. What are you most excited for this summer? Seeing friends. Everyone is always so busy in the city, and I really get to spend quality time with my friends here in the summertime.
Randall Slavin Photographer Randall Slavin has appeared in GQ , Esquire, Rolling Stone, and other publications. He had his first exhibition in Paris in 2008 and a solo show at Annenberg Space for Photography in 2011. He shot our “Worn in the USA” fashion feature on page 260.
What did you love most about talking to Wainwright? Getting him to sing to my son in exchange for the interview! During the interview, which topics surprised you?
You photographed our fashion feature. How was the shoot? The two models really
The journey of Rufus’s music and how he selected the songs for his best-of album. Also, his family; that topic endlessly fascinates me, especially when it’s about a family as abundant in talent as his is. Which of his traits do you like most? His sense of humor. I find it infectious. What are your plans for this summer in the Hamptons? Seeing friends and getting to do all the old favorite things with the kids.
epitomized the JFK Jr.–Carolyn Bessette vibe. They couldn’t have been more perfect. Do you have a favorite spot to shoot in the Hamptons? I like Montauk because it is
secluded and has a rich artist’s history. Some of my favorite people live there, like Walter Iooss and Peter Beard. What will you be doing this season during your off-time?
Busting out my long board, putting away the wet suit, and hearing the surf tap against the tip of my board... and avoiding great whites, which have invaded my spot.

She has written seven best-selling books; the newest, It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over, she shares here in “First Edition” (page 162). Where do you like to go in the Hamptons? All the roadside places to buy
fresh fruit and vegetables, and the little hidden places to find freshly baked bread. What inspired you to help empower women? The fan mail I received from That
Girl—desperate letters from young women in danger who had nowhere to turn. They opened my eyes to the many women who were suffering in the country. Describe a perfect Hamptons summer day. Gathering fabulous fresh food and inviting friends to lunch on our small boat in the harbor.
Melanie Acevedo Melanie Acevedo is a lifestyle and portrait photographer whose work has appeared in InStyle, Elle, and Condé Nast Traveler. She has contributed pro bono projects for organizations such as St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Acevedo shot Rufus Wainwright for this issue’s cover. How was the shoot with Rufus Wainwright? I love him and have been
What’s your perfect romantic night in the Hamptons? Any night with my husband and
without the kids! We love Tutto Il Giorno and Nick & Toni’s. But we also enjoy gala events like the Parrish Art Midsummer Party (July 12) and the Annual Watermill Center Summer Benefit (July 26). Where are your favorite places to go with your kids? The beach tops the list, of course. For dinner, they love LT Burger in Sag Harbor, Sip’n Soda in Southampton, and Sunset Beach on Shelter Island.

She wrote about a meaningful East End landmark on page 34. What’s your favorite summer pastime in the Hamptons? Long walks on the beach at around 6 PM are absolutely dreamy. How will you be spending the Fourth of July? It’s
one of my favorite holidays! I’ll be with my family, and then in the evening we’ll attend the Southampton Fresh Air Home’s Annual American Picnic with Fireworks by Grucci.

Striffler currently resides in Sag Harbor with his fiancée, singer Hannah Peil, and their two children, Jacob and Grace. Among other stories, Eric shot our feature with Marc and Pam Murphy on page 294. What is your favorite place to shoot in the Hamptons? I love
so many of the beautiful places in the Hamptons, but the place I keep coming back to is Flying Point Beach. It was my go-to beach as a kid. What inspires you most about your subjects? I appreciate everyone’s
uniqueness and passion for what they do. The Hamptons is known for the wealthy and beautiful, but more and more I recognize the passion, drive, and hard work of nearly everyone out here.

This summer, he is The Surf Lodge’s first Social Ambassador and names his favorite Montauk eats on page 180. What is the meal to cook in the Hamptons? I can barely make toast, but I can boil a lobster—my favorite summer supper. What is your summer pastime? I learned to surf years ago in Southern California, and now I catch waves in Montauk. Anything to do with the ocean makes me happy. What is your favorite local indulgence? I’ve been getting fat on the delicious fudge from The Fudge Company in Southampton since I was a toddler.

continued from page 127 enormousness of the family’s vision,” she says. “It goes across so many different areas, whether it’s health, human rights, the environment, or helping to alleviate the suffering of the most poor; it’s like a graduate course in learning.” Rockefeller’s most recent film project, Mission of Mermaids, captured both her love of the ocean and her fascination with mermaids. “To me, the mermaid is that sense of wonder, that sense of mystery,” she says. Rockefeller also captured the mythical figure in her jewelry line, Dive Deep Collection—which helps raise awareness for marine health and a portion of whose proceeds benefit Oceana. It is available this summer at London Jewelers. A lifelong Hamptonite, Rockefeller spent summers growing up in East Hampton. “I remember waiting for my father at the train station and throwing pennies onto the track,” she says. “It was so classically ’50s and ’60s, when the men would come on a Friday and meet their families.” That Rockwell-esque upbringing is something she hopes to create with her husband and their four children at their 1860s farmhouse in Bridgehampton. “It’s a perfect house with beautiful gardens,” she says of the estate. “I love to feel like I can be both inside and outside and have very little differentiation between the two. It’s a happy home. And it has one of the oldest trees on the East End, an oak that’s more than 100 years old. It’s just beautiful.” The very definition of a Renaissance woman, Rockefeller is currently wrapping up her next film, Food for Thought, Food for Life, which chronicles the growers who are working to restore and preserve farmland soil, set to premiere in Shanghai in October. But until then, her attention is focused purely on her family. “I love being a wife and I love being a mother,” she says. “I’m quite traditional in that respect. Love is everything. I really believe that what creates a sane, empathic, and compassionate world is the way mothers mother their children. I feel lucky that my parents brought me [to the Hamptons], and now my children are coming here, and they love it. I’m sure they’re going to want their children to come here, too.” H
SUSAN SAYS *favorite Hamptons memories “My most amazing memories have to do with a 1700s farmhouse with a slanted floor, surrounded by potato fields as far as the eye could see; being at the beach every day, building sand castles, and digging that hole to China—all the fun things you do as a child.”

Wragge feels he’s a conduit for important information and is grateful for the recognition he receives from the people who watch him on television. “I’ve been doing this for 21 years, and it’s still so flattering and overwhelming to me when people want to take the time to come up and say hello,” he says. “I genuinely get a kick out of it. You don’t want to be in television for this long in New York and have people not recognize you—then there would be something wrong.” Away from the CBS anchor desk, Wragge often entertains friends at his Bridgehampton home alongside his girlfriend of nine months, Sarah Siciliano, a TV advertising executive. “I take care of everybody,” says Wragge of his trips to the beach with his houseguests. “I have chairs, beach
bags, every sunblock, literally, from SPF 6 to 50, towels for everybody; I load it up in the back of the SUV along with a little table and a speaker for music—whatever you can think of, we’ve already got it.” By 4 PM, everyone heads back to the house for a quick swim in the pool and glass of rosé, followed by dinner either at local favorites like Vine Street Café or Topping Rose House, or at his shingled house that has become a yearround weekend getaway. “It’s not your huge, opulent Hamptons home, but it is perfect for me,” he says. “It’s just very comfortable. I love spending time out here. No matter what happens to me career-wise, I’ll never let it go.” H

BEACH PATROL Nick Brown’s Soludos pop-up at The Surf Lodge is open for business.
Soleful Summer SOLUDOS DESIGNER NICK BROWN BRINGS HIS POPULAR ESPADRILLES BACK TO THE BEACH. BY ERIN RILEY
N
ick Brown is best known as the cool face of Soludos, the brand of colorful jute-soled espadrilles launched in 2010 that quickly became popular with beachgoers, city slickers, and celebrities like Kate Bosworth and Jennifer Garner. But he’s also been a regular on the East End for years, and this summer he’s back with two popup shops at The Surf Lodge in Montauk and Tenet in Southampton—and trying Words to live by: to make them as authentic to the foot“When life gets wear’s centuries-old heritage as possible. dark and stormy, “Our collection sits in these rustic add some lime and drink up.” wooden crates alongside lemons and Summer anthems: pineapples, beneath a straw umbrella on Caribou’s “Can’t the beach, so it looks and feels like you’re Do Without You” in the Mediterranean,” Brown says of his and Tycho’s setup at The Surf Lodge. “Awake.” The son of a diplomat and an English model, Brown has always been on the move. It was during his childhood summers traveling to the Spanish coast when the London native first discovered espadrilles, buying them off street carts by the shore. “They lasted as long as my summers did,” Brown muses. The soles were at once lightweight and comfortable, while inexpensive enough to wear without worry. After moving to the States during high school, he started bringing the shoes back for friends as gifts; he noticed there was a strong demand for the stylish pairs, and thus launched his business. When it came time to name his brand, the young entrepreneur sought to capture the feeling of summer while honoring the shoe’s origins. “I combined saludos—the Spanish word for ‘cheers’—and sol for ‘sun,’ to create Soludos,” Brown explains. It’s a true ode to summertime comfort. The Hamptons is particularly meaningful for the Soho-based designer: The Surf Lodge was among the first places to sell his newly christened line. “I walked up to Nil [Erbil, creative director for the hotel] with a few pairs in hand, as she was sipping her morning espresso,” Brown says. The pair hit it off and have been close friends ever since—a relationship that has led to three pop-ups to date, including last year’s mobile beach shack with

Similarly, Brown and Tenet owner Jesse Warren are longtime friends and will spend much of this summer barbecuing at Brown’s summer rental in Amagansett. In addition to Soludos classics, the pop-ups offer the latest additions to the brand: beach bags, totes, and kikoy wraps that sport Soludos’s signature striped prints, and a collaboration with Australian swimwear brand We Are Handsome. But Brown’s favorite new piece? His smoking slipper espadrille. “It’s a gentleman’s shoe,” Brown says. “The fact that it comes in everything from washed-out denim to suede makes it perfect for when that afternoon barbecue turns into an evening out.” Tenet, 91 Main St., Southampton, 3773981; The Surf Lodge, 183 Edgemere St., Montauk, 483-5037; soludos.com H

Montauk R on Top POWER COUPLE RACHELLE HRUSKA AND SEAN MACPHERSON REVEL IN THE NATURE AND SLOWER PACE OF THE ISLAND’S EASTERNMOST POINT. BY JAMES STURZ PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STRIFFLER
achelle Hruska, cofounder of the website Guest of a Guest, and her husband, hotelier and restaurateur Sean MacPherson, have been watching Montauk’s transformation over the past 12 years—and even helping to nudge it along. MacPherson’s hotels and restaurants include The Crow’s Nest Inn & Restaurant in Montauk, in addition to six others in Manhattan, the newest being The Ludlow Hotel. Guest of a Guest, which chronicles events around the globe, started its Hamptons site in 2008 and relaunched its global site this past April. It now averages 3 million page views per month. The couple’s greatest ventures include their 2-year-old and 7-month-old sons, Maxwell and Dash, and homes in Manhattan’s West Village and Montauk’s Ditch Plains. Here MacPherson and Hruska talk about their favorite East End spots. “We come out here for the beach, to hike and surf, and to commune with nature. The untouched, undeveloped beauty in Montauk is ultimately its great power and the one thing that really
differentiates it from the rest of the Hamptons. It’s more bohemian, with a rawer aesthetic that speaks to us both. “Our house was built in 1964, the same year that Sean was born, and it’s somewhere between a fort and a shack. But we immediately liked it because it’s right by the water, and just so clearly a change of pace from our life in downtown Manhattan. There’s real physical drama out here, and so much romance to being by the bluffs and far out into the sea. For us, the end of the road is such a desirable place to be. “We love CULLODEN POINT because it’s a beautiful beach that feels as if you could be discovering it—in fact, we discovered it together. There’s water wherever you look, and it feels like it could be 500 years ago. There’s great history, too. The Amistad anchored there in 1839, when some of the enslaved Africans who revolted and took over the ship went to shore for provisions in Montauk, and the HMS Culloden, which gave the point its name, ran aground there in 1781 while chasing a continued on page 140

continued from page 138 French frigate. We come out with our kids because there aren’t really any waves on the sound and they can look for treasure all across the beach. “NAVY BEACH is just down the road from there, and it’s a really great spot for lunch. Boats come up, and you can eat with your feet in the sand. It’s just a perfect place for a proper meal with a glass of wine and to spread out for the day with your family for a long lunch on the restaurant’s private beach. And if you come later, you can catch the sunset. “Another place that’s just a little farther west is THE FISH FARM. You could call it ‘Old Montauk,’ but it’s just very unusual and otherworldly. They raise fish—so it gets all the fish-farming wafts from that—but they also breed Rhodesian ridgebacks. In addition, they have a little stand where they serve food right on the water. There’s nothing like it on all of Long Island, and it’s really worth a stop. “Nature’s what speaks to us out here, so SHADMOOR STATE PARK is another must. Its trails go right along the cliffs, with the ocean as the backdrop, so it’s just breathtaking and spectacular. And then, like Culloden, it has all this history, because there are two concrete bunkers from World War II, so it’s all this natural beauty and bluffs unlike anywhere else on Long Island, with this odd bit of history peppered in. It’s great for running, and you feel like you’re in an episode of Lost. CAMP HERO STATE PARK is also a favorite because it offers a chance to connect with Montauk’s raw land and drama. There’s really good surf at the lighthouse, and the idea that right there the Atlantic splits

in to the sound is so potent. Plus there’s more connection to the military past and the conspiracy theories around the Montauk Project and experiments with time travel. “That sense of the past is what we love about Montauk, even if it exists very much in the present, too. JOHN’S DRIVE-IN is a perfect example of that. Outside it has the semiotics of a greasy spoon, but inside it has the best ice cream on Long Island. And a lot of local kids work there, so it’s a great place to find babysitters. But NATURALLY GOOD FOODS & CAFE is probably where we go more than anywhere else. The food is really good, but it also touches a little part of Sean’s childhood in Malibu, because there’s always a little hippie culture to health food stores, and those are his roots (even if he’s moved pretty far from them now). We both order The Bruce, which is fresh yellowfin tuna salad with avocado and cheddar on sprouted wheat. “And then there’s THE CROW’S NEST, which has become our roots, too. It’s been there since the ’70s, so we brought it back to its essence. It started as a labor of love, because who wants responsibility in

the place they go to get away from responsibility? But it’s always been a place we enjoy. And maybe part of it is that summer is so precious, so people come out to the Hamptons in a good mood, to enjoy themselves. Everyone’s happy, they’re celebrating, and that lightness is welcome.” H

Preserving the Arts M
y husband, Marty, and I love this community and its history of being an arts colony. For me, this dates back to when I was 17: While working as a mother’s helper in the Springs, I often saw Willem de Kooning riding his bicycle. After enjoying many summers in East Hampton, we purchased a home in the heart of the village so our four children, adolescents at the time, could access Main Street by cycling or walking with friends. Since Guild Hall is just down the street from us, it didn’t take long for Marty to become involved [he is now board chair]. And if Marty is involved, so am I. We were impressed that Guild Hall opened in 1931 as a year-round arts center and meeting place. The legacy of artists whose works have shown in the museum is staggering. De Kooning, Thomas Moran, Larry Rivers, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Roy Lichtenstein, Max Ernst, Robert Gwathmey, and Robert Motherwell are just a few who have exhibited here—not to mention the legendary stars who have treaded the boards of its stage, including Dina Merrill, Bob
Fosse, Gwen Verdon, James Coco, Dick Cavett, and the Barrymores, among so many others. Over the past few years, we have hosted two dinner benefits at our home to kick off Guild Hall’s summer seasons, which helped provide funding for the more than 240 programs the institution produces every year. It is important to me that each benefit dinner captures the spirit of the program it is highlighting.
“The legacy of artists whose works have shown in Guild Hall is staggering.” —MICHELE COHEN The first party we hosted was in 2008, to celebrate the opening reception of “Inspired by the Light: Landscapes by East End Masters.” This exhibition featured three of the most renowned female contemporary landscape painters of our
time—Jane Freilicher, April Gornik, and Jane Wilson—all of whom are residents and have been influenced by the breathtaking topography of the Hamptons. We held a cocktail and dinner benefit for 80 guests under a tent on our terrace, overlooking the back lawn and pool. The color scheme reflected the ocean, sky, grass, and trees, which were the primary subjects of these artists’ works. It was a very memorable evening. Then in 2011 we hosted a benefit dinner for Guild Hall’s Season Spectacular, which saw Steve Martin performing with the Steep Canyon Rangers onstage in the John Drew Theater. This was so much fun! Steve and Alec Baldwin bantered together to the enjoyment of the crowd. Tickets sold out early, and so many people were disappointed not to join us that we kept increasing the size of the tent to allow for more guests. The theme was red, white, and blue, evoking the bluegrass music played by Steve and the band, as well as the Fourth of July weekend. It was a foot-stomping evening filled with great music and fine food! This year we are happy to again host the Season Spectacular, which will star Martin Short. I can assure you of three things: There will be a tent, the food will be catered by Art of Eating (chef-owner Cheryl Stair is excellent, and I believe in supporting local vendors), and it will be delightfully casual. I hope you will come and join us for a great evening of laughter and delicious food to benefit Guild Hall’s year-round programming. H

SINCE THE EARLY DAYS OF HIS CAREER, EVENT PLANNER BRONSON VAN WYCK HAS HELPED LOVE HEALS RAISE MONEY AND AWARENESS FOR HIV AND AIDS PREVENTION.
I
am moved by how much the community loved Alison Gertz, an early AIDS activist who lost her battle to the disease in 1992. Friends and supporters have donated their time, money, and passion day in and day out for two decades. I first heard about Love Heals, the HIV education organization founded in her memory, in 2001 when publicist Elizabeth Harrison, an advisory board member, asked me to help with a huge event they were planning at Luna Farm in Sagaponack. My team and I dove in and worked really hard to make that night incredible. Something we did worked, because it became an annual thing, raising millions of dollars over the course of a decade. I was just starting out in this business, and I felt so grateful to have gotten so much support from our first clients, most of whom were friends. Love Heals was an opportunity to give something back, and I embraced it wholeheartedly. Love Heals has made tremendous progress in increasing communication and education about the prevention of HIV, and it empowers the area’s young people with the knowledge
144
and the resources to make better choices. It gives people the opportunity to come together and make a difference and to change the way HIV is affecting our community. Love Heals believes that learning and sharing knowledge
are the keys to fighting this disease. HIV is a wound we are inflicting on ourselves as a society. It is 100 percent preventable, yet too many lives in our community have been affected by this disease. With knowledge and education, we as a community have the power to prevent it. To me, knowing that we have the power to make a difference inspires me to want to help more. Last year the organization’s annual summer event moved to Wölffer Estate Vineyard, where “Let’s Misbehave to Benefit Love Heals” will return on July 19. Coming together out here, there is just no better way to gather the community in support of this great cause. H

ontemporary art and philanthropy will converge at this year’s ArtHamptons, where 85 prominent galleries from around the world will present pieces from more than 400 celebrated artists. “Anytime we can bring an international event to the Hamptons, it’s really something special,” says Rick Friedman, president of Hamptons Expo Group, which organizes the show. Last year, more than 14,000 guests attended the fair, and this year’s ticket sales are expected to exceed that number. From July 10 to July 13, the event will take place at the bucolic 95-acre Sculpture Fields of Nova’s Ark in Bridgehampton. “It’s one of the greatest spots in America,” Friedman says. “The relaxing fields, the beautiful sunset, the stables, and horses—it’s incredible.” To house the vast number of artworks and their corresponding galleries’ booths, builders erected a grand 50,000-square-foot pavilion complete with air conditioning, carpeting, and impeccable lighting. The art fair will begin this Thursday, with the exclusive opening night preview party to benefit Guild Hall. The evening event has become a much-anticipated ArtHamptons tradition at which guests will enjoy performance art and specialty cocktails, and make their art selections before the galleries open to the public. This year, buyers can expect a wide array of paintings, paper works, photography, prints, and sculpture at various price points. “There are treasures for every budget,” Friedman says. A series of artist spotlights will feature pieces by Jules Feiffer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist, playwright, and author; Angel Ortiz (aka La Roc),

a graffiti artist and contemporary of artists Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat; and Tom Dash, a contemporary post-production painter. Renowned painter of 60 years and Hamptons resident Jane Freilicher is this year’s Lifetime Achievement honoree. Her new exhibit, “Near the Sea: A 60-Year Retrospective,” will feature many of the Long Island landscapes that have made her so well known on the East End. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the artist on July 12. Friedman is a collector of her work and is thrilled about the exhibition. “She’s one of the great legends of the Hamptons, so I’m excited to be able to present her,” he says. ArtHamptons will also honor theater and visual artist Robert Wilson with the 2014 Arts Patron of the Year award for his long-standing dedication to the local art scene. As the founder and artistic director of The Watermill Center, Wilson has helped nurture and develop the careers of many aspiring artists. The Korea Contemporary exhibit will showcase the best art from 15 galleries in Korea. The show gives Hamptons art collectors and patrons the unique opportunity to meet the gallerists and learn more about the pieces as well as the Korean art scene. “The great cultural interchange is an element that you wouldn’t expect to find at other Hamptons parties,” Friedman says. Much of ArtHamptons’ growing success, according to Friedman, is due to the number of special events surrounding the show—one of which is continued on page 158

From Debutantes to Celebutantes AN EXHIBITION AT THE SOUTHAMPTON HISTORICAL MUSEUM SHEDS LIGHT ON A BYGONE ERA OF EAST END GLAMOUR. BY ANNE HUNTER
WHEN FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER Bert Morgan first penetrated the inner circles of Southampton high society in the 1930s, his camera captured the intimate moments of America’s most prominent families, European royalty, and the preeminent stars of the stage and screen. In the three decades that followed, Morgan, a popular guest at exclusive parties, chronicled the private lives of social luminaries in an era when those doors typically remained closed. “Southampton Blue Book, 1930 to 1960: Photographs by Bert Morgan” at the Southampton Historical Museum presents a sampling from the thousands of photographs that the lensman took of the East End’s elite—gathered from Morgan’s collection and that of archivist Patrick Montgomery. “We’re proud to bring to light a segment of Southampton that hasn’t been seen before,” says the museum’s executive director, Tom Edmonds. “During that era, people who lived in the estate section or summer colonies were out of the mainstream and you saw little of their personal lives.” Among the collection are childhood photos of Jacqueline Bouvier, later Kennedy Onassis, who grew up in the area. “Everyone identifies with Jackie O,” Edmonds says. His personal favorite photograph in the exhibition? “Diana Vreeland. I love the contrast of the image and the way the vertical lines make a statement.” “Southampton Blue Book, 1930 to 1960: Photographs by Bert Morgan” will run through October 18 at Southampton Historical Museum, 17 Meeting House Lane, Southampton, 283-2494; southamptonhistoricalmuseum.org.

Daniel O’Keefe’s “Ocean” Amagansett, 2000, acrylic work on canvas, 11 by 14 inches.
Above It All D
uring a winter residency at Bellport’s Gallery 125, artists David Adams, Daniel O’Keefe, and John Perreault recognized their shared artistic process: They all painted on a horizontal plane— that is, scraping, sanding, and pouring paint onto their canvases from above. Just like Springs’ own Jackson Pollock with his drip paintings, the trio felt a more visceral connection when bearing down on a floor or table than they did when standing at eye level with an easel or working on a wall. So in 2010, they and Larry Wolhandler formed a group they called The Horizontalists. (Mark Van Wagner joined in 2012.) And this summer they are coming together at Gallery 125’s new Water Mill space for a survey exhibit, on display through September 14. Although the artists take a similar approach, the ways they apply their paint vary. O’Keefe uses knives and a hawk to apply his mixture of pigment and Venetian plaster, as can be seen in his piece “Ocean” Amagansett. Adams,

on the other hand, hangs punctured paint cans from the ceiling or suspends them on a tripod to create elliptical patterns that have an aerial abstraction when turned upright. “It’s like looking at a map rather than through a window,” says Perreault, The Horizontalists’ spokesman. His own painting technique was inspired by Bellport painter Arthur Pinajian, who “would scratch upon a surface of enamel paint to create textured landscapes that resembled the marshes of the Great South Bay,” Perreault explains. With the opening of Gallery 125’s Water Mill location, chief curator Thomas Schultz hopes to create an artists’ community similar to the one that prospered in Bellport. “Water Mill seems poised for an identity,” he says. “Through my years of curating, I’ve recognized how groups of artists creating in the same space allows for influences that would normally not exist.” “Horizontalism: A Bellport Movement” will be on display through September 14 at Gallery 125, 688G Montauk Hwy., Water Mill, 605-0899; gallery125.org.

Second Acts “I
think the idea of reinventing yourself is something that many women are thinking about,” says actress Marlo Thomas, who stars in Clever Little Lies, a dark comedy opening at Guild Hall on July 19. “Everywhere I go, women tell me they’re stuck—sometimes in an unfulfilling job, sometimes in a bad marriage or relationship, sometimes as a new empty nester. And they tell me about the dreams they left behind, or the ones they tried to achieve that went nowhere, or the ones they never even attempted. And their fear about doing something new and meaningful is always Tina Reine, who performs regularly as an aerialist, didn’t start training until she was 43.
the same: It’s too late, isn’t it?” Thomas—who travels the globe both as an actress and as an activist for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a pediatric treatment and research facility for kids with cancer and other catastrophic diseases, which was founded by her father, entertainer Danny Thomas—started collecting these stories as part of a web series on AOL and The Huffington Post called “It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over.” Her new book of the same title (Atria Books, $27) spotlights 60 additional women who prove it’s never too late to realize a dream, whether changing their appearance, reinventing their career, finding love, or filling a void in life with a challenging new experience. “Women who have read the book see it as more than just a collection of stories,” Thomas says. “It’s more like a map that shows them how they can do this too, how they can find the key to unlock the gifts that are inside of them. And it shows them that it’s okay to dream big but work small. Just take it one step at a time and you’ll get there.” Here, an excerpt from It Ain’t Over… Till It’s Over:
FROM HIDING TO SOARING Tina Reine, 47
“The Elephant Man.” That’s how Tina Reine says she felt as a child in Evansville, Indiana. Born with severe facial deformities, including a cleft lip and palate, Tina was bullied mercilessly by her classmates for years. “I knew I didn’t look normal,” says Tina. “And nobody ever let me forget it.” After graduation she held a series of jobs, at one point teaching English in Japan, a job that allowed her to save up the money she needed for what she hoped would be a final, life-changing surgery.

The stories in Marlow Thomas’s new book prove it’s never too late to realize a dream.
“When I woke up, I felt like my face was covered in Silly Putty. It took awhile for the implants to settle and feel normal. There were so many screws in there that if you took an X-ray of my face it would have looked like a hardware store. But when I looked in the mirror afterward, I couldn’t believe it! It was the first time in my life I felt that I looked not just normal, but even attractive.” Later, working in New York, Tina saw a production of Cirque du Soleil and was captivated by the aerialists. “It was so elegant, like dancing on air,” she says. “And you could tell it took so much skill. But what really struck me was how breathtakingly beautiful the dancers were.” Even after she moved to Florida, Tina could not get the Cirque aerialists out of her head, and she wasted no time searching for a school that could teach her how to perform on silks. Amazingly, she found a weekend class in Miami—a 90-minute drive away—and she immediately signed up. “It was like I was leading this double life,” she says. continued on page 164

Her experience in Afghanistan inspired Karen Schaler to explore the therapeutic power of travel.
continued from page 162 “Monday through Friday I was working hard at the new trading job, but as exhausted as I was by the end of the week, I’d also be pinging with excitement about taking the silk class.” At age 43, Tina was nearly two decades older than everyone else in the class, which required a level of physical fitness she had never encountered before. Six months in to her training, Tina’s teacher asked her to join a small group of students who were performing at a city street festival. “I instantly said yes,” Tina recalls, “even though I was really nervous. But once I got up and started doing the tricks, I was in a complete state of bliss.” That one festival energized Tina’s ambition, and she soon began choreographing her own routines. She even did a full-length solo performance at the famed Art Basel venue in Miami. “I’ve performed on golf courses, with my silks hanging from trees, and in art museums suspended from the ceiling—you name it,” says Tina, who also designs her own costumes. “On silks, I feel like I’m doing something so unique, so transfixing, that people are just blown away. And when I tell them I didn’t start learning until I was in my 40s, they’re blown away even more. I feel like I’m an inspiration to people my own age.”

“You know you’re doing the right thing in the right place if it gives you the courage to go forward.” —KAREN SCHALER Schaler recalls. “That wasn’t hard because I really did love it. I always filled in when somebody was out, always worked holidays. I worked 18 Christmases in a row! As a result, I seldom saw my family, didn’t get married, never wanted to get that close to a man who could tie me down. And I wasn’t doing it for the money. The jobs in these small markets pay under $25,000 a year. I just loved the work.” She soon moved to a station in Phoenix, where she was assigned to be embedded with an Apache helicopter unit in Afghanistan. “One day I was doing a live-shot report,” she recalls, “and a bomb exploded a couple hundred feet away. There was noise and chaos and ambulances. I was hustled into a bunker with a bunch of soldiers, and for two hours we hunkered down there while a loudspeaker kept blaring, “This is not a drill!” Karen later learned that 26 people had been killed in the explosion. “People always ask me if I had been afraid of dying. I can honestly say I wasn’t. All I could think about was, ‘Have I told everyone I love that I love them? Have I done all I can to make a difference? Am I happy?’” Something inside Karen had reached its breaking point. Karen remembered that when she was in the bunker, some of the soldiers got to talking about what they wanted to do when their tour was
over. Visit family was a frequent answer. Take the wife to Hawaii. Take the kids to Disneyland. Karen was struck by how many of them wanted to travel, intuitively recognizing that in going somewhere new, they would be revived, restored, reinvigorated. Karen [gave] herself a new assignment. She would build a Travel Therapy Trips website and write a book that would help people inspire and empower themselves through travel. “After I built the website, I sold my car and cashed in my 401k,” she says. “Then I bought a one-way plane ticket and took a one-year lease on an apartment in New York City, where I knew almost no one. That’s where I wrote my book, Travel Therapy: Where Do You Need to Go?, featuring trips to take based on whatever you’re going through in life.” What separates Karen from other travel reporters is that while she’s writing about adventure trips, family vacations, or romantic excursions, she maintains her focus on the things that help restore and maintain peace of mind. “I want to feel joy, to experience beauty, to be in touch with my spirit. You know you’re doing the right thing in the right place if it gives you the courage to go forward. I can’t wait to see what’s around the next corner.” H

Coastal Vibe NAVY BEACH CELEBRATES FIVE YEARS OF MAKING WHOLESOME COOL ON MONTAUK’S WATERFRONT. BY GARY WALTHER PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STRIFFLER
H
ere’s something you rarely hear from Hamptons restaurateurs: “We wanted a family-friendly restaurant,” says Kristina Davis, one of the five partners in Montauk’s Navy Beach, “where the kids can throw rocks and the adults can have cocktails.” It’s the gilded hour late on a blowy spring afternoon. The sun is spangling Fort Pond Bay in cadmium yellow, and people are moving toward the water’s edge as if pulled by some irresistible force. Selfies, twosies, groupies,
families—there’s an arsenal of e-devices being deployed to capture that staple of Instagram: the we-were-here sunset portrait. Meanwhile, the kids are indeed skipping stones. The charm of Navy Beach, which is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, is that it has managed to make wholesome cool—or does it make cool wholesome? (I’m not sure myself.) But the celebs have conferred cred. Sir Paul continued on page 174

continued from page 173 McCartney is said to be a regular at the bar, and Navy Beach is also rumored to be in the orbit of guys you may not associate with family, like Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel. Lauren Bush Lauren and David Lauren, Donna Karan, and Cameron Diaz have found their way down the side roads and over the tracks to the restaurant. And Bethenny Frankel showed up at the bar with a girlfriend. Here, though, celebrities are wind on the water. Although Davis admits to being “a starstruck person,” Navy Beach is not The Polo Lounge East, and it’s not trying to be. There’s a simpler-days Hamptons feel to the place (the building was formerly the Sunset Saloon and had a surf shop in front), starting with the picnic tables on the beach—a broad U of smoothed stones flanked by crab-claw peninsulas. In that, it reflects the personality of the principals, Frank and Kristina Davis, Franklin Ferguson, Leyla Marchetto, and Martin Cabrera. Frank went to the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration and then in to finance, and Kristina worked in fashion, but both harbored a dream of owning a restaurant and nurtured a mantra: “Someday it’s gonna happen.” One day Frank said, “Let’s take a drive to Montauk,” where he’d come across a listing for the Sunset Saloon. It was “the quintessential dive,” says Frank, a sentiment echoed by Kristina. And while the partnership had one ace in the hole—Marchetto is the daughter continued on page 176

continued from page 174 the daughter of Da Silvano owner Silvano Marchetto, who sends a text every weekend with the name of a guest and the words “take care of them”—it didn’t have that other ace, money, which probably ended up being a plus, because it might have led to a decorator. “We wanted to redo the floors, but it didn’t fit our budget,” says Kristina, who handled the interior décor. “Lots of paint (from Becker’s Home Center in town) did.” She improvised based on their name for the place, which is of World War II vintage: At that time the beach held a Navy installation, a seaplane base, and a torpedo-testing facility. Those nautical signal flags along the front of the bar? They spell “drink.” Kristina and Leyla bought vintage ’50s women’s swimsuits online and mounted them in plastic frames at the entrance to the dining room—perhaps a reference to the song “There Is Nothing Like a Dame” from South Pacific. (Retro bathing suits are now the theme of Navy Beach’s annual summer Riviera Party.) Kristina wrapped the chandelier over the six-top in rope. The sign pointing to the bathrooms says POOP DECK. Okay, that causes a slight wince, but these guys were bootstrapping. “That first winter, it was just warm enough to get the paint dry,” says Frank, and the first year, reservations were jotted down in a notebook. “We knew it was going to work when I said, ‘We have to get a computer.’” Decorating on a shoestring left the bones of the place intact—and they are whale bones: brawny three-by-eight-foot beams across the ceiling (as if they were holding up a low-rise condo), whitewashed brick walls, a window wall on the beach side (with the most desirable tables), and portholes behind the bar. The ceiling is lower than the average NBA center is tall. The place feels like the inside of a barge; it feels down-to-earth. The menu, on the other hand, swirls with worldly eclecticism.

BAR EXAM The drink menu is notable for its emphasis on rosé. There are six rosé wines, including a Sancerre and Les Voiles de SaintTropez, in addition to a limited-release Cep d’Or, which is served in both half bottles and magnums. There are also three rosé cocktails, of which my favorite was the Sénéquier, a very refreshing blend of rosé wine, vermouth, lime, and grapefruit juice that’s simply stirred.

he red, white, and blue gets my chakras tingling,” says Jonathan Adler, thinking about Independence Day. But this season the home décor designer extraordinaire and Shelter Island resident has another reason to celebrate: a collaboration with the Napa Valley sparkling wine label Chandon—just in time for the Fourth of July festivities. To complement a limited-edition bottle of Blanc de Noirs from the winemaker, Adler designed a special serving tray with a pattern of interlocking anchors in patriotic colors. “It’s all about nautical style,” he says. “It makes you feel like you’re somewhere between the Côte d’Azur and the Hamptons.” Adler says the partnership between him and the bubbly maker “was kismet.” This is the third season that Chandon has issued a special American Summer bottle, which features a wavy print inspired by hot days spent near cool waters—a vibrant image Adler embraces. “To me, it encapsulates everything summer should be,” he says. The Chandon Blanc de Noirs, with its cherry, currant, and strawberry aromas and flavors, has a lingering finish, making it a refreshing treat. Served on Adler’s joyous acrylic tray, it is perfect for parties en plein air. “Outdoors is where all of your entertaining should be in the summer in the Hamptons,” he adds. “Invite squillions of your closest friends over for a backyard soirée and serve everyone mini bottles of Chandon.

The Crow’s Nest Inn & Restaurant “Dinner at The Crow’s Nest on Sunday nights is a weekly tradition for me. The food is healthy, locally sourced, and so tasty—and sitting around the fire pit for coffee or booze after dinner is beyond mellow. You see the chicest people there.” 4 Old West Lake Dr., Montauk, 668-2077; crowsnestmtk.com
Duryea’s Lobster Deck “Sitting on the outdoor deck at sunset overlooking the sea makes you happy you are not in the city. There’s also a seafood market to grab oysters, clams, and mussels for a weekend clambake.” 65 Tuthill Road, Montauk, 668-2410; duryealobsters.com
“The homemade tortillas and guacamole are an ideal post-Ditch Plains beach-day snack. The lobster taco is perfection, too, and you can wash it all down with fresh juices or potent cocktails. The space looks like a 1950s diner, which makes it even more fun.” 752 Montauk Hwy., Montauk, 668-8338; labrisamontauk.com
Montauk Juice Factory “After surfing or a hike, this new spot is ideal to fuel up and keep that health kick going. The Beach Break has watermelon, mint, and hibiscus extract—so hydrating and yummy. And if I had one too many the night before at Liar’s Saloon, I grab The Ditch, a detoxifying green juice with celery and dandelion root (among other hangover-busting nutrients).” 12 South Etna Ave., Montauk, 335-3507; montaukjuicefactory.com

IN THE PINK
The latest offerings by East End winemakers of a seasonal favorite.
A Rosé Outlook PHOTOGRAPHER AND MONTAUK FIXTURE BEN WATTS LAUNCHES A NEW VINTAGE THIS SUMMER. BY BRYN KENNY
P
hotographer Ben Watts is best known on the East End as one of the hosts of the insanely popular Shark Attack Sounds, a Fourth of July party held in Montauk every year. So his segue into the wine world with WattsUp rosé feels about as natural as, well, having a glass of rosé in the Hamptons. “I spend a lot of time in the sun for my work, and therefore drink a lot of rosé throughout the year,” says Watts with a grin. “It’s a fairly organic union.” The founders of the wine club Wine Awesomeness felt the same way. “We’re four guys who share a love of Montauk and Shark Attack Sounds as well as a love for rosé,” says Wine Awesomeness CEO Logan Lee, who is a partner in the business with Brad Ball, Dale Slear, and Luke Correale. After Watts met them in person, signing up to collaborate with the group to launch a new rosé felt like a no-brainer. “I was just so impressed with the product, and it’s been full speed ahead ever since,” Watts says. WattsUp rosé—a crisp and refreshing Spanish rosé with notes of fresh strawberry, watermelon, rose water, and crushed stone—was launched in limited distribution last summer, but a new and improved version will be available more widely on the East End this year, including at Watts-approved Montauk haunts such as The Surf Lodge, Navy Beach, and Solé East. “The taste is unparalleled,” he says of the new vintage. This new launch features an updated label—a playful image of a row of bright pink lounge chairs and umbrellas that Watts created with the digital photography app Hipstamatic. The rosé will also be sold in magnum sizes developed specifically for the hard-partying Hamptons crowd. “When people come out to the Hamptons, they want to put on a bit of a show, and the way to do that with wine is by buying a magnum,” Watts says. “It’s like sticking a flag in the ground.” wineawesomeness.com H

It wouldn’t be summer in the Hamptons without the refreshing taste of rosé—and vineyards across the East End are producing tasty bottles for this season of sipping. The just-released Summer in a Bottle from Wölffer Estate Vineyard (139 Sagg Road, Sagaponack, 537-5106; wolffer.com), inspired by its acclaimed 2013 vintage, is the newest addition to the winemaker’s rosé offerings, Wölffer and Grandioso. What distinguishes this still-dry rosé is the “mouthwatering fruit and playful acidity, which evoke the breeze from the ocean,” says Donnell Brown, the vineyard’s senior marketing manager. He adds that Wölffer Estate waited as long as possible to harvest the fruit before production to ensure optimal flavor. Nearby, Channing Daughters Winery (1927 Scuttle Hole Road, Bridgehampton, 537-7224; channingdaughters.com) produces seven rosés. According to partner and general manager Allison Dubin, the rosés each have an individual personality and distinct flavor. Topping Rose House (1 Bridgehampton Sag Harbor Tpk., Bridgehampton, 537-0870; toppingrosehouse.com) offers a private-label rosé by the North Fork’s Lieb Cellars (13050 Oregon Road, Cutchogue, 734-1100; lieb cellars.com) called Topping Rose House rosé, which pairs well with the restaurant’s freshly shucked oysters. The winery’s own 2013 Bridge Lane rosé is just as popular. “It’s predominantly Cabernet Franc–based,” says general manager Ami Opisso. “It stands out, thanks to refreshing notes of watermelon, strawberry, and fresh green herbs.” Channing Daughters Winery carries seven types of the pink-hued wine.

THE DISH
South of the Border GRILLED OR FRIED, SERVED BEACHSIDE OR ATOP WHITE LINEN, FISH TACOS HAVE BECOME THE CENTERPIECE OF SUMMERTIME FIESTAS THROUGHOUT THE EAST END. BY MATTHEW WEXLER
H
as the lobster roll met its match in the fish taco? There may be room for two at the top, but make no mistake: While the former enjoys its stature due to its no-fuss simplicity, the fish taco wears a colorful coat, dressed according to its creator’s whims. Take chef Seth Levine, whose rendition at Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa (290 Old Montauk Hwy., 668-2345; gurneysinn.com) is one of the highlights of The Seawater Grill, the property’s new restaurant. Levine’s Asian-inspired taco consists of raw, sushi-grade ahi tuna, sesame seeds, and avocado purée—all neatly wrapped in a flour tortilla and garnished with molecular soy-sauce pearls. At 668 The Gig Shack (782 Main St., Montauk, 668-2727; 668thegig shack.com), local flavors come with an island twist. Its signature dish, the Montaco, showcases sustainably sourced local tilefish blackened with
184
paprika, chili powder, and a touch of cayenne, then packed into a housemade crispy tortilla shell with red slaw and a sweet mango salsa. While chef Noah Schwartz of Noah’s (136 Front St., Greenport, 4776720; chefnoahschwartz.com) also serves a variety of local catches, his tacos go global with sustainably sourced red crabs from the Tasman Sea. According to Schwartz, this deep-water catch is sweeter than typical blue crab and makes for the perfect crispy taco when paired with cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro, and lemon aioli. For those craving fish-taco overload, Bostwick’s Chowder House (277 Pantigo Road, East Hampton, 324-1111; bostwickschowderhouse.com) offers an array of grilled, blackened, and fried fish tacos—all served in grilled flour tortillas with shredded cabbage, cilantro, and guacamole. If you’re feeling loyal to the aforementioned roll, consider the lobster taco, with sautéed lobster meat, roasted corn salsa, and chipotle lime sauce. Inspired by street food found in markets and taquerias throughout Mexico, chef Joe Realmuto of La Fondita (74 Montauk Hwy., Amagansett, 267-8800; lafondita.net) delivers an original Baja-style taco, which, according to the Culinary Institute of America, arrived in the US in 1983, first making a splash in San Diego. Realmuto’s version relies on local codfish dusted in flour, then dipped in Negra Modelo beer batter, lightly fried, and served with chipotle mayonnaise and shredded cabbage. For a taste of the ocean without having to leave the beach, Turf (“dirt lot” at Ditch Plains Beach, Montauk; andturf.com) serves refreshing summer fare from a vintage Airstream. Seared tuna tacos have the requisite fixings of crema and cabbage, but for a real locavore bite, spare the life of a fish and consider the vegetable taco, with locally grown grilled zucchini and summer squash.

CHEF’S TABLE
With a Bang and a Boom! FOR THIS FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND, MASTER SANDWICH MAKER JEFF MAURO PUTS A TROPICAL TWIST ON AN ALL-AMERICAN BARBECUE STAPLE. BY SCOTT FELDMAN
SERVES
C
hef and TV personality Jeff Mauro makes his inaugural trip to the East End to celebrate the Fourth of July. The winner of the seventh season of Food Network Star and cohost of The Kitchen, Mauro divides his time between Chicago, New York, and—this summer—a fellow chef’s beach abode. While out here, he’s engaging in some friendly rivalry for the First Official Sandwar, a sandwich-making competition against 300 Sandwiches’ Stephanie Smith. Proceeds from the event, to be held on July 5 at Red Stixs, will benefit the American Cancer Society. What finally brought you to the East End?
I realized I’d never have the full New York experience until I spent summer in the Hamptons. Chef Marc Murphy and his wife, Pam, invited us to stay at their lovely home, which helps. What has been your best lunch out here? A doubleshot duo of a lobster roll from The Lobster Roll and some fresh clams from the Clam Bar, with a cold beer. For an East End cookout, you would serve… Lobster rolls, shellfish, grilled oysters, clams, and mussels with a side of greens and heirloom tomatoes. Your favorite summer cocktail is… Mezcal and soda with fresh lime and a bit of agave. What’s more fun, cooking on TV or in your kitchen? Nothing beats immersing yourself in a hot, hectic kitchen— having three things on the grill, two on the stove, and one in the oven, all at once. If you could cook for anyone, who would it be? Jeff Tweedy from my favorite band, Wilco. He is witty. We would dine, wine, talk about music, and play romantic duets into the night. What don’t we know about you? I played Tony in the Chicago production of Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding for four years. I still have gel in my hair from those days.... H

Remove the plastic wrap and roast the pork in a covered Dutch oven for 3 hours. Then uncover and cook for 45 minutes.

Rub the pan with a bit of oil and grill each side of the pineapple slices 3 to 5 minutes on each side until dark marks appear. Chop the pineapple and add it to a bowl with the cilantro, ginger, lime juice, jalapeño, and onions. Season with salt and pepper. For the sandwich build: Using two forks, pull apart the warm pork. Toss with the chili sauce. Butter and toast the buns until golden. Place ample quantities of pork on the bottom bun and top with pineapple relish and red cabbage.

lothing and accessories designer Ramy Sharp has a bright summer ahead—even if the sky isn’t always sunny. Her fashion line, Ramy Brook, has been picked up by Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, and Neiman Marcus; she recently launched a successful limitededition capsule collection with SoulCycle; and she’ll debut a handbag collection in the fall. The style maven will also be featured July 10 –12 at the first in a series of designer trunk shows at Jennifer Miller Southampton benefiting the UJA-Federation of New York. “This will be the first time that we invite designers into our store and feature their work for a weekend,” says jeweler Jennifer Miller, whose company continues to thrive in the Hamptons, thanks to her careful selection of exquisite pieces by designers from all over the world. Sharp and Miller had much to discuss when they grabbed a bite to eat under the awning of Sant Ambroeus in Southampton.

Jennifer Miller: I’m so excited to kick off my [trunk show series] with Ramy Brook. Ramy Sharp: This is our first trunk show, but it’s not our first collaboration. We’ve known each other for more than 10 years. JM: And I was your first account. RS: You and your husband [Mark Ehret] were instrumental in helping me start my business. Our first collaboration was the Sharkey, an exclusive swimsuit cover-up sold in your store. JM: The Sharkey [named for Miller’s husband, whose nickname is “Mark the Shark”] did incredibly well, and from there Ramy Brook just exploded. I was excited because I love your taste, and I knew everything you were going to design would be something I’d want to wear. Working with friends makes such a difference because you have the same level of consciousness and style. continued on page 190

ON THE TOWN
FROM TOP: Ramy Sharp and Jennifer Miller discuss their upcoming trunk show; they toasted with a glass of Felicé rosé, a blend of Merlot and Sangiovese; the tuna tartare from Sant Ambroeus.
continued from page 188 RS: I started off just doing trunk shows at friends’ homes, so I knew a lot of people wearing my stuff. The beauty of these shows is you get interaction with the customers and you really understand their needs, whether stuff is cut too high or low, bra-friendly, the colors they like…. You learn a lot. [It begins to rain.] RS: Oh no, it’s raining. JM: We can squeeze in. Bring on the rosé! RS: White wine is my drink, but in the summer I become very European and have rosé. [The waiter arrives to take the order.] JM: The food’s really good here. The best thing is the hazelnut gelato. RS: Do you come just for gelato? JM: Oh, yeah. You drink rosé, and I eat gelato. You know what else is good? The tuna tartare. RS: Oh, right, that’s what I love here. I’m going to get that. JM: And I’ll have the insalata di carciofi [arugula salad with thinly sliced artichokes and sliced Parmesan]. RS: I love coming to Southampton. It’s really fun to just walk the streets and see what’s going on. JM: My first shop was here. That was 20-plus years ago. When Mark convinced me to open up a store in East Hampton, I didn’t want to leave my Southampton gals, so he goes to East Hampton every day. The rest of the year he’s running the business from behind the scenes, but during the summer we divide and conquer. The vibe and the customer base are very different between Southampton and East Hampton. Southampton is a little bit more classic and conservative, while East Hampton is very fashion-forward and trendy. RS: I just went into your store here this morning and bought a few things. I couldn’t help myself. JM: Jewelry and SoulCycle—those are your top obsessions. RS: Some call them addictions, but they’re healthy ones! My six-piece collaboration with SoulCycle launched Memorial Day weekend, and it did so well that they ordered more in neon pink for August. JM: That’s going to be great. RS: I would love to open up a store next summer in the Hamptons. JM: Hopefully, very close to me. RS: That would be so much fun! [Entrées arrive.]

“Working with friends makes such a difference because you have the same level of consciousness and style.” —JENNIFER MILLER
JM: My days socializing here are very limited. Maybe once or twice during the summer I’ll go to a lunch or go to the beach. RS: My husband [Rob Sharp] and I love when we see you during the day. It’s a big deal. JM: I look forward to going to people’s houses and entertaining. RS: It’s fun hanging out with friends out here. It’s nice because it’s something we don’t really do in the city. JM: I do have to say your dinner parties are always the most fun nights in the Hamptons. We dance and we laugh, and your husband is a phenomenal chef. RS: No one makes meatballs like Rob. It’s a gift. JM: And it’s not just for a casual small group. It’s usually 20, sometimes pushing 30 people. RS: Guests literally don’t eat all day when they know they’re coming over. We stopped catering for parties. Now Rob just cooks for everybody. When it rains, it pours. H

Ready to Shred AN ELEVATED SURF AESTHETIC HITS THE HAMPTONS WITH A NEW COLLECTION FROM PRET-A-SURF. BY ADRIENNE GAFFNEY
W
ith their Pret-a-Surf beachwear line, Jillian Demling and Karen Mulligan have done more than just bestow upon the world some muchneeded fashion-forward swim options. They’ve also tackled the myriad swimwear dilemmas faced by women, from fit issues to sun-exposure fears. “They feel protected and they feel sexy,” says Mulligan of Pret-a-Surf’s shoppers, “and they love the fabrics because they’re quick-dry. It’s for women who play sports, but also those who just want to look good on the beach. It can be either.” Launched in 2010, the line fuses the industry knowledge of Demling, the entertainment editor of Vogue, and Mulligan, the studio manager for photographer Annie Leibovitz, with their desire for feminine surfwear—and it was an instant hit. A monumentally successful J. Crew collaboration made Pret-a-Surf a household name and will be reprised this summer; the line will also be stocked at Cynthia Rowley (696 Montauk Hwy., Montauk, 668-8077; cynthiarowley.com) and featured at Surf Bazaar (183 S. Edgemere St., Montauk, 668-1035; thesurfbazaar.com). The latest collection has the fresh, vivid prints that made Pret a hit, while adding new interpretations of enduring
themes. A classic toile gets new life in yellow-and-navy and red-and-navy combinations, while the traditional gingham is done in seersucker. “The prints are always some kind of floral base,” Mulligan says. “It’s very feminine. The polka dots and the stripes—we almost use those as our solids. If someone buys [this] toile, they can then mix it with something from a prior line, whether a stripe or a polka dot.” Pret-a-Surf is also about versatility and new ways to wear its pieces. “We both go to FlyWheel all summer and wear the rash guards,” Demling says. “[Wearing this] you’re dry by the time you get from the studio to your car.” Women are also increasingly turning to Pret’s rash guards for an added layer of protection while sunbathing. A quick-drying Lycra cover-up in the form of a tank dress or skirt minimizes the time spent waiting for your swimsuit to dry—the perfect example of “beach to street.” For Demling, it all comes down to addressing the needs of a very discerning subset. “There are so many more women who are doing ocean sports, whether it’s surfing or paddleboarding,” she says. “There’s definitely a market for our stuff. Even though [our brand] is whimsical and feminine, it’s still mature.” pretasurf.com H A mood board from Summer 2014 captures the brand’s easy, sporty vibe. BELOW: Pret-a-Surf for J. Crew tank suit ($225).

hether you’re looking to express your patriotic spirit or celebrate the joys of summer beach days, a whimsically patterned blanket from the Long Island–based label La Lous Design is ideal for both sentiments. Created by local designer Dorothea Tomczyk, it features a reversible lobster and bubbles print inspired by the region, rendered in a nautical color scheme appropriate for the season. The handmade blanket, which would make for a witty Fourth of July hostess gift, can be found alongside other La Lous Design offerings at Michelle Farmer’s Bridgehampton shop, Michelle Farmer Collaborate. (As a bonus for

those who would prefer not to abandon the pool to venture into town, Farmer’s offerings are also now available at home as part of her “shop to go” styling service, available by appointment through mid-September.) “The blanket can be used a number of ways, but my favorite is as a beach blanket,” says Farmer, who also recommends La Lous Design’s beautiful pillows. “Bring a bottle of wine and cheese and spread the blanket on the beach for an evening around the bonfire. It also doubles as a great tablecloth or throw for your couch or bed!” Michelle Farmer Collaborate, 2491 Montauk Hwy., Bridgehampton, 604-1850; michellefarmer.com H

ake one look at my good friend Laura Slatkin and the word that immediately comes to mind is “lady.” With her trademark bouffant hair and feminine floral dresses, Laura doesn’t so much walk as she does glide across a room—pure elegance with manners to match. But looks, as they say, can be deceiving. Slatkin is also a powerhouse executive and dedicated philanthropist. As founder and CEO of Nest Fragrances, this former Wall Street banker has built an empire of candles and fine perfumes. Body creams and a Manhattan flagship store are next on her to-do list. When she’s not running her company, Laura, a wife and mother of two children, is fundraising and building programs for autism awareness—a passion born out of her desire to enhance the lives of those affected by the disorder, including her own son, David, who is severely impaired. Here she talks about her beloved summers in the Hamptons, how the East End inspires her, and how family makes it all worthwhile.
Alina Cho: We’ve been friends a long time. Laura Slatkin: Totally. AC: I always say I forget how accomplished my friends are because we’re friends. I did a little research and discovered that the first interview I ever did with you was in 2006 for CNN. You spoke so candidly about what it was like to be a parent living with an autistic child. I believe it was the first substantive story done on television about autism. LS: Absolutely, and it was so timely. You were right on the cusp of a major movement that was just beginning in the field of autism. AC: Then you started your business. LS: We launched in 2008, which was not a good time to start a company. It was one of the worst years. AC: The economy was collapsing. What were you thinking at that point? LS: It didn’t stop us—we were so excited to launch. We started out at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, and that Monday after the first weekend continued on page 208

“Some summer scents, like our bamboo candle, are inspired by our beach house in East Hampton.” —LAURA SLATKIN and pretty. Some of the summer scents, like our bamboo candle, are inspired by our beach house here in East Hampton. We have bamboo growing on our property around the pool and the pond. AC: Let’s talk about your commitment to philanthropy. We met in 2005, around the time you were opening the first state-of-the-art New York City charter school for children with autism. You saw through your own experience with your son that there was a need for this, right? LS: Yes. All the exceptional schools were in New Jersey, and Harry [Slatkin, Laura’s husband] and I thought that was crazy. That’s what led us to open a charter school, and we thought it should be part of the New York City public school system, because that’s where we needed to make an impact. AC: David is now living in a facility near Boston. How is he doing? You see him once a month? LS: Once to twice a month. He comes to East Hampton. He loves it out here, and we love seeing him. He swims in the ocean, he swims in the pool, he goes for long walks to town and back. It’s a continued on page 210

continued from page 206 we sold a thousand candles—and that was before any of the stores were trained. So what did that mean? The brand had shelf appeal, and that’s one of the greatest gifts any label can have. That means nobody has to be standing there selling it, nobody needs to know anything about it—something about the name, the packaging, and the presentation draws the customer over. Once the customer is engaged, the quality of the product does the rest. AC: It resonates. LS: Yes. And when you have that, you have something really special. AC: In 2012, you launched fine fragrances. What made you decide to get into that market? LS: I was in my library and I was flipping through the pages of this book on Mrs. Mary Delany, an 18th-century artist, and I came across one of her botanicals. I was so moved by the beauty of it that I ripped the page right out of the book and wrapped it around a small box, put it down, and said, “Oh, my gosh, that is so beautiful.” Then I commissioned a brilliant Russian artist to create three paintings for me based on Mrs. Delany’s work. I took those works to master perfumers, and they were inspired by the paintings to create extraordinary fragrances. The entire journey was steeped in art and creativity. AC: How are they priced? LS: The small bottle is $65 and the rollerball is $30. Throw it right in your pocketbook. It’s nice to freshen up your fragrance like you would your lipstick. Often I’ll dab my pulse points at the table. AC: When you moved into fragrances, it was considered a big deal because it makes a strong statement that you’re moving beyond home essences. LS: That’s the draw, to create a luxury lifestyle beauty brand. I had been asked for years to enter this space. We launched our fragrances at Sephora, where we’re now one of the top-selling brands. Then we went on QVC and sold a quarter of a million dollars in 10 minutes. So the brand’s a real hit in this category. AC: I am always so fascinated by fragrance sales on television, because you can’t smell it, so it really is about how it makes you feel. LS: Right. I like to talk about fragrance in terms of “When do I want to wear this scent?” Fragrance is all about mood. So Midnight Fleur is a very sexy, sensual fragrance that you would wear in the evening. AC: That’s how I want to feel. LS: What woman doesn’t? Then there’s Passiflora, which you would wear if you were going to lunch with girlfriends or when you want to feel feminine

continued from page 208 routine. We take him out to the Lighthouse at Montauk Point, and then we come back and go for lobster rolls. It’s fun when he’s in a good mood. But when he isn’t, it’s tough—he’s up all night. AC: He’s 15 years old, yet he has never said a word. LS: Not one, ever. Not a single word. If you have a kid who is so impaired, who can’t talk, who has aggressive behaviors, who’s cognitively so weak he can’t learn a consistent sign for “I have to go to the bathroom” or “I’m hungry,” and you realize that because of his aggression he needs two or more people around him all the time, it’s very hard. We speak candidly about how severely affected our child is because we want people to know how extremely challenging and difficult it can be. AC: Will we find a cure for autism in our lifetime? LS: Probably not. It’s a very complex brain disorder. But we will be able to detect it earlier and improve the lives of those affected by autism. For example, we just completed building the Center for Autism and the Developing Brain with New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Weill Cornell Medical College, and Columbia University. This institute will support individuals with autism across their lifespan. This is why philanthropy is addictive— you see what an impact you can make in people’s lives. We started our philanthropic work with autism, but when something else pops into our family, we do our research and we dive into it. There’s so much to address with so many different mental health disorders. It’s exciting to build things, move a field forward, and make progress. AC: And after you work that hard, you need a place to unwind. LS: Yes, and that’s exactly where East Hampton comes in. H

atural doesn’t mean utilitarian, as demonstrated by this season’s sky-high, naturally hued wedges. Summer poses a quandary when it comes to elegant footwear, as stilettos can leave you stuck in the sand while luxe fabrics can feel painfully out of place at a festive barbecue. New seasonal favorites are the towering wedges from Oscar de la Renta, Christian Louboutin, and Alexandre Birman, which make great use of cork, metallics, and leather, providing an easy look that never scrimps on the glamour.

The property now includes every modern amenity while retaining its original character. Originally commissioned in 1906 by the Greeff textile family, the estate was purchased 50 years later by Eileen and Gerry Ford, founders of Ford Models.

Cunow honed his production and design expertise at Steven Alan, where he was a production coordinator and manager. For Romano, retail is the family business: His family has four offices across Asia that liaise between luxury brands and their manufacturers. At 19, he moved to Shanghai for two years, where he worked for his family and learned the global fashion business. Their skills complement each
“It’s for that guy in the Hamptons [who’s] really active, but he also happens to have the functionality of a swimsuit.”—NATHAN ROMANO other perfectly, with Cunow focusing on Onia’s creative elements and Romano in charge of retailer relationships and customer service. The brand recently expanded its swimwear offerings with a full ready-to-wear line that has the same sleek tailoring and the same refreshing (read: never sloppy) update on leisurewear as the previous collections. Cunow and Romano’s next step? Rolling out a line for women next year. (Little boys are all set with a children’s swim line that allows for fatherson matching.) Onia’s offerings are currently sold in several stores worldwide, and, according to the duo, there’s a joy in seeing how quickly the brand has gained traction. “We reached our milestones quicker than we anticipated. It’s amazing,” says Cunow. “It is overwhelmingly amazing.” onia.com H FROM LEFT:

hen longtime friends Nathan Romano and Carl Cunow partnered on a beachwear line for men called Onia (“ship” in Hebrew), the result was a collaboration so perfectly balanced that it quickly spawned a mini fashion empire. And in selling their collection this season at Tenet (91 Main St., Southampton, 377-3981; tenetshop.com), Steven Alan (75 Main St., East Hampton, 604-1726; stevenalan.com), and Theory (98–100 Main St., Southampton, 204-0231; theory.com), among other stores, the two 20-somethings are returning to the site of their childhood summers. When the partnership began, Romano and Cunow decided to look at how men live, and their first challenge was to appeal to jet-setters with a garment that was something between shorts and swim trunks. The answer was a slimfitting flat-front swimsuit with a button closure that mimics the look of a pair of trim slacks. “It’s for that guy in the Hamptons, Miami, or LA, where he’s shopping, eating, walking, and really active, but he also happens to have the function-

Created by textile designer Traute Worschech of Textile Bliss, the topography of the dyes in each piece represents a different part of the Hamptons. Egypt Beach is reflected in a delicate pink number, a more mellow blue hue depicts Montauk’s Ditch Plains, a blue diamondshaped pattern is inspired by Georgica Pond, and for Sunset Beach, there’s a gorgeous green and azure medley. While the color palette was meant to complement Alice + Olivia’s beachromance-themed summer delivery, designer and co-owner Stacey Bendet left the rest of the creative decisions in the hands of Worschech. “We wanted it to really be her dye layouts because I think that’s so interesting about what she does, the way she ombres and twists them,” she says. “The patterns she creates are so beautiful that we wanted it to be her patterns in our stores.” 79 Main St., East Hampton, 702-7155; 58 Jobs Lane, Southampton, 204-0164; 2042 Northern Blvd., Manhasset, 516-472-2687; aliceandolivia.com H

It’s a beloved destination that complements our luxury brand well,” says Luca Caprai, the line’s founder. “Southampton is the perfect location to showcase our exclusive macramé lace bracelets—a must-have summer accessory.” The sleek mirrored shop is modeled after the Milan flagship and is stocked with more than 50 varieties of the bracelets that have won over Beyoncé and Heidi Klum. But those unacquainted with the rest of Cruciani’s repertoire (the Caprai family was formerly best known for its high-end cashmere line) will be delighted to discover the brand’s other offerings, including luxe silk scarves and a new doublehandled reversible calfskin tote christened the Meraviglia (“marvelous” in English). 28D Jobs Lane, Southampton, 204-5836; crucianic.com

A NEW SOUTHAMPTON shop gets to the point with its name. Launched by James Lowther of The Lacquer Company, Concept brings an eclectic vision for living through its collection of apparel, furnishings, and gifts. Pieces from The Lacquer Company will complement offerings such as Jackie Astier’s womenswear line, Antony Todd’s furniture, jewelry from Clarissa Bronfman, and a rotating selection of art by the likes of Max Snow, Ilsa Brittain, and Dustin Yellin. Concept’s worldly mix is a product of Lowther’s own travels; ties to Europe and Asia (his lacquer products are handmade in Saigon) are evident. He was on vacation in Bali this spring when he had the idea: a shop that would let him work with friends and peers in the design world. “I was trying to draw on the designers I collaborate with and see if I could make a store with them,” he says. “And then it became a bigger thing.” 42A Jobs Lane, Southampton, 204-5966; conceptsouthampton.com H

Got It in the Bag Fashion maven Robert Verdi offers his own take on handbags. Robert Verdi, one of America’s most renowned style experts and a Hamptons regular, has taken all he’s learned over decades in the fashion industry and directed it toward revolutionizing the handbag market. As he puts it, “The inspiration was simple: Make a great bag that women can grab and use for anything they need.” That great bag is the Model M., a playful, candy-colored number made of durable, lightweight EVA material that will be available beginning this month. Classic lines create limitless options for use. Verdi envisioned it as able to seamlessly transition from office to beach and everywhere in between. “It’s the perfect summer bag, but will be used all year long,” he says. “It’s seasonless.” Available at Maison 24, 2424 Main St., Bridgehampton, 537-2488; greatbag.co Model M. handbag, Great Bag Co.

WHILE JEWELRY DESIGNER Kara Ross has gained a legion of fans (which includes First Lady Michelle Obama) with her glittering gemstone pieces, at times it’s just something close to nature that sparks her inspiration. This season’s gold and coral stick necklace—born out of Ross’s love of alternative materials—gives the sensation of having sprung forth from the ocean. “Although coral isn’t an actual gemstone, since antiquity its intense color and glossiness have made it ideal for use on jewelry,” she explains. “I love the way each unique individual stick fans out.

OLIVIA CHANTECAILLE, CREATIVE DIRECTOR FOR HER FAMILY’S COSMETICS COMPANY, SHARES THE HAMPTONS SPOTS WHERE SHE FINDS BEAUTY. BY LAUREN FINNEY
C
reative director of her family’s eponymous cosmetics line, Chantecaille (chantecaille .com), Olivia Chantecaille has been coming to the Hamptons all her life, most recently to her home in East Hampton. It’s here in the East End that she cultivated a love of fashion, art, and nature. These passions, plus her devotion to charitable causes, are reflected in the brand’s new Save the Bees palette—a quad consisting of warming Honeyhued highlighter, Nectar blush, and Sky blue and Beehive beige eyeshadows—the sales of which benefit The Xerces Society, which aims to protect bees along with other invertebrates and their habitats. Here, Chantecaille takes us through places she loves to go when she’s looking to treat herself. When in the mood for a fashion fix, Chantecaille loves to shop at Tomas Maier (74 Montauk Hwy., East Hampton, 604-6700; tomasmaier.com) for “European boho chic” apparel, Brunello Cucinelli

Also a fan of the brand’s spa, Chantecaille gives top marks to “massages with David and facials with Heather.” An interiors aficionado, Chantecaille regularly explores the neighborhood home stores, especially in Sag Harbor, which “has some of the best shops,” such as Ruby Beets (25 Washington St., 899-3275; rubybeets.com), Bloom (43 Madison St., 725-5940), and Monc XIII (40 Madison St., 808-3333; monc13.com). A passionate art enthusiast, Chantecaille also loves the area’s “incredible thriving art scene” and loves the “grounded, happy, and refreshed” feelings she has when she is out East. H

Artisanal Wonders A FOCUS ON HIGHLY REGARDED HANDMADE TREASURES HAS MADE BLOOM IN SAG HARBOR A DESTINATION FOR DESIGN AND DÉCOR. BY CARRIE DOYLE KARASYOV PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STRIFFLER
T
he village of Sag Harbor has recently become a go-to destination for those seeking beautiful objects for the home. Its quiet streets are percolating with design shops, with many retailers proffering fashionable and tasteful merchandise. But one place that seems to make every tastemaker’s must-see list is Bloom, a carefully stocked design shop that sells everything from linens and ceramics to candles and tableware. “I don’t have a concept—I just buy what I like,” explains Mona Nerenberg, the owner of Bloom and its sister store,
Astier de Villatte at Bloom, both located on a quiet stretch of Madison Street. The former fashion designer, who decamped to the East End 16 years ago, explains her philosophy in few words: “I carry things that are my point of view.” That sensibility has certainly made an impression: Nerenberg’s eye for both antiques and contemporary objects from around the world has attracted an influential customer base since her store’s founding in 2002. Ina Garten—the Barefoot Contessa—has repeatedly gushed about it in the press and in her continued on page 228
Bloom offers a selection of beautiful objects for the home, from handmade baskets to tableware.

Owner Mona Nerenberg believes in letting craftsmanship speak for itself; a table setting epitomizes the store’s name.
“I don’t have a concept—I just buy what I like.”
continued from page 226 books, hailing Bloom as “one of my favorite stores in the Hamptons.” Martha Stewart cited it as “a really beautiful shop filled with old and new.” Gwyneth Paltrow’s website, Goop, selected it as a “Best of...” in the Hamptons. And House Beautiful crowned Nerenberg “a New York style maker.” Everything about Bloom feels peaceful and serene. The décor is clean and pared down, from the white clapboard exterior and shutters to the interior white walls and natural sisal rugs. The elegance of its simplicity allows visitors to notice the actual form and craftsmanship of the items for sale. The only burst of color stems from green plants in vases, which succeed in emphasizing that nature and beauty go hand-in-hand. In addition to antiques, items on offer include stylish glasses from Belgium, France, and Sweden, attractive Spanish fruit-picking baskets, pitchers, hurricane lamps, and refined white serving pieces. “I just gravitate toward things that are handmade,” explains Nerenberg. This year, Nerenberg took over the neighboring carriage house and launched Astier de Villatte at Bloom, which is connected through a tranquil garden with a large fountain. Astier de Villatte, a retailer founded in 1997 in Paris by Benoit Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli, uses
228
18th-century techniques to make durable yet chic ceramics out of black terra-cotta clay and glazed with a milky white hue. Every piece is handmade by one of 25 ceramicists in Paris and stamped with that artisan’s initials. No two pieces are the same. In addition, all of the labels are created by Monsieur Huin, the last remaining typesetter in France. “I’d been looking at them for a long time. I loved the finish, I loved the technique, but I didn’t like how curly and overdesigned they were,” says Nerenberg, who eschews anything frilly. She waited for the brand to conceive the right fit. “When they finally created a line called Sobre, that is when I decided to sign on.” Along with Sobre, she carries two other lines, called Simple and Rien, which are equally as streamlined and pure. The cupboards against the wall are filled with various samples, and in the center of the room, an unpretentious dinner table is set with their plates and cups, as well as linen napkins that Bloom also carries. (Often customers are inspired to purchase the entire table setting.) Nerenberg is effusive about Astier de Villatte. “The presentation is amazing. The packaging is exquisite, even the paper the ceramics are wrapped in for shipping,” she says. The brand also offers a line of perfumed candles inspired by the fragrances of various cities around the world. The designers went to great lengths to capture the aromas that were emblematic of those locales. “They’d pick a location and try to define that location with scent,” Nerenberg explains, before adding in a low tone, “which is why I don’t carry ‘Hong Kong.’ I lived in Hong Kong, and it’s spot-on. I hate it!” The Provincetown fragrance is more to her liking. Will there be a Sag Harbor essence someday? If so, it will likely be found here. 43 Madison St., Sag Harbor, 725-5940 H

“We Still Do Business The Old Fashioned Way.” – Charlie Marder There was a time, remember, when you called and a real person answered the telephone. They showed up when they said they would and did the work on time (without you feeling you had to keep looking over their shoulder). And, the work was done for the promised price…no surprises when you got the final bill. Over the past 39 years, we have built an organization and a way of thinking that, first of all, assures that a real person will answer the telephone during business hours seven days a week. We have Marders-trained crews that enable us to guarantee your job will be done on time and within the budget. For example, our crews never leave your property while there is work to do…they will not be pulled off to work on some other job that has fallen behind schedule. We will be there when we said we would, do the job on time and within budget…guaranteed.

Man FRESH OFF HIS CONCERT AT THE WESTHAMPTON BEACH PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, TALENTED TROUBADOUR RUFUS WAINWRIGHT TALKS WITH FRIEND (AND FAN) NAOMI WATTS ABOUT HIS FAMILY’S HISTORY ON THE EAST END AND ITS INFLUENCE ON HIS MUSIC. photography by MELANIE ACEVEDO
“I
’m not wildly well-versed in music and I don’t begin to know the technicality of it, but I feel like I respond to music,” says actress Naomi Watts to singer Rufus Wainwright, who this month introduces his latest compilation, Vibrate: The Best of Rufus Wainwright, a collection of his melodies, including “Foolish Love,” “Me and Liza,” and “Grey Gardens.” “There’s certain music that is just creating atmosphere and is lovely to listen to, but there’s something about your music that just puts me in a state of having a feeling, whether I’m ready for it or not,” she tells him. “I feel like you’re singing that song for me and only me, and that’s probably because you’re drawing from whatever is coming out of you, and it oozes into the person who is receiving. It’s so emotional it floored me.”

elving into emotion is the cornerstone of Wainwright’s work. His 10 albums capture an intimate portrait of his life, his experiences, his loves, and his family, including his mother, the late performer Kate McGarrigle, with whom he regularly performed. Following her passing from sarcoma in 2010, Wainwright and his sister, singer Martha Wainwright, continued her fight against the disease through the work of the Kate McGarrigle Foundation, which helps raise funds for research toward a cure. Today, Wainwright, who also channeled his passions into Prima Donna, his debut opera, is on tour promoting Vibrate, including a recent appearance at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center. He’ll also be performing with his sister Martha at The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett in August. But he always has his sights set on Montauk. It’s where he married his husband, Jörn Weisbrodt, a former executive director for RW Work Ltd., which managed the work of The Watermill Center founder Robert Wilson; where he’s helping raise their daughter, Viva; and where he has some of his happiest memories of his mother. Naomi Watts: When did you move out to Montauk? When did you fall in love with it? Rufus Wainwright: My father had a house—and still does—on Shelter Island. I grew up going there when nobody did—it was this dull, hidden gem. My father’s father, Loudon Wainwright II, grew up in East Hampton, and there was a very wealthy contingent of the Wainwrights who lived there that we always heard about. Unfortunately, my grandfather decided to become a writer and an artist, and, subsequently, we couldn’t live in East Hampton anymore. We ended up in Shelter Island because it was cheaper. But I always had this longing to return to the East End and bring back the family name. I also missed the big beach, the ocean, and the big waves, so finally, with my mom, we discovered Montauk, and we thought it was a really good combination of both. It has the incredible mansions on the sea, but it also has a bit of grit and some working-class people. I found a fabulous house that used to belong to Irving Berlin’s musical director, and we live there now. We adore it. NW: Do you have time for hobbies? I know that’s the nerdiest question, but people ask me this. I don’t have hobbies. I could lie and say what I used to be interested in, but I don’t have time. Last year, I said I spend more time in the garden now, but that sounds horribly unsexy and very lame.
“I always had this longing to return to the East End and bring back the family name.” RW: The garden thing, I was so averse to anything relating to gardening because I did always find it the most boring, retired-person thing to do. That being said, we have a garden now, and I’ve never been more excited in my life than waking up and seeing a little pea come out of the earth. It’s like a Wagnerian opera or something. So gardening has actually become a passion for my husband and me. NW: Tell me about your best-of album. RW: It’s called Vibrate; it’s a collection of what I feel are my most accessible and classic numbers. I wish it was a greatest hits, and I should retire and write more operas, but it’s a best of. I’m enjoying singing it on stage. It’s a little traumatic to think that I’m 40 and I’ve already hit this milestone, because I feel like I’m 22. I’ll put out a greatest hits when I’m 80. NW: When I look closely at the lyrics, there’s this great sense of humor. You’re so sweet, you’ve got the most infectious laugh I’ve ever heard, and you have this wonderful quality of laughing at your jokes—which I have, too. RW: I have a very distinct laugh. Oddly enough, the way I get recognized the most is not from how I look or even how I sound when I sing; it’s from how I talk. My speaking voice has a vaudevillian showstopper living in my throat who can lighten the mood of the room, because I sound ridiculous. I sound like a character from The Little Rascals. Annoying, prepubescent drag queen, but anyway.... NW: And you’ve got that wonderful self-deprecating thing that is too rare these days. RW: Which is funny, because that’s often misread. Oftentimes, in the press, I’ve toyed with the whole ego thing and said, “Oh, yes, I’m the most incredible person in the world, I’m so talented, I’m so beautiful,” but I’m really kind of kidding…. Well, I’m being somewhat serious, actually, but I don’t believe in false modesty—I hate that.

“I’ve never been able to draw a border between my creative life and my personal one.” NW: Obviously you have written about every facet of your life—love and unrequited love, family, drugs. Is there anything you feel you’ve yet to write about? RW: I would definitely say my whole gig is essentially what you see is what you get, or what you see is what you hear. I’ve never been able to draw a border between my creative life and my personal one, much to the chagrin of certain people around me—and also to the glory as well. Certain people adore me and get it top to bottom and are waiting for the next installment; others cannot stand the sight of me, and they hear my voice and are completely turned off. I do feel that’s because I draw from such personal experience, and you’re either willing to go there and enjoy that experience, or you’re just not going to want to go there or relate to it. NW: It’s great for those who love you, and I feel the same— my movies are definitely not appealing to everybody, but you tap into something visceral. That’s because the truth is pouring out of you. RW: Thank you. I have been blessed with a kind of guidance, especially in terms of both my parents, in terms of how they had to survive in the business. When they started in the late ’60s and early ’70s, folk music was the big thing, and they were really on top of that game in terms of singersongwriters. Then all of a sudden disco came in—which I love—but it wiped out their careers. They had to really depend on their wits and on the truth of what they were singing about. Martha and I really benefited from our parents’ failures. [Laughs] NW: Hopefully we get smarter with each generation. RW: I’m sure my daughter will learn from my mistakes.
NW: I don’t want to go into a world that you’ve probably talked about so many times, but your family seems endlessly fascinating to everyone. RW: I made a decision long ago to bite the bullet and really include my family in the process of my career since it is an incredible story and it’s served me very well on many levels. NW: Coming from a creative family as well, a little bit of the competitive spirit can be hard to live with, but it can also be a great source of inspiration. RW: My sister, Martha, is as talented, if not more, than me—and it’s taken me years to even state that. When we started out, I was very much the typical older brother, an attention hog, and thought the whole world revolved around me. My mother and I were essentially in love, and we trotted around our perfect dream relationship in front of my sister. My mother certainly adored my sister, but it was a bit of a tougher relationship, and there was a lot of anger and jealousy, but therefore a lot of fuel for her to work on her own stuff. By the time I started doing my own shows and got my first record deal, she was right there, ready and waiting with her own perspective and her fierce attitude. There were some tough years, but finally we realized that in the end, like all families, you are more powerful when you’re united and loving. Now we sing together all the time. NW: Tell me about your daughter. How old is she now? RW: She’s 31⁄2 . There are many questions about whether she is musical, and if you asked that, I would say I was concerned that would be a pressure. That being said, she sings 24 hours a day, vocalizing the whole time. She loves dressing up and she loves to dance, so I’m quite relieved that I don’t have to pussyfoot around the issue. I wouldn’t say she should be a performer, but she’s definitely a child of the stage. We’ll see how that works out. NW: What about your mentors? Other than family, of course. RW: I love dead people. I’m a big fan of the great composers, Verdi in particular. The span of his opera career and how he left it is how I’d want to go. I want to die at 84 having mastered some form or another of something. This whole idea in the pop world that you’re only good when you’re 23 and it’s got to be this fast, nihilistic splash in the pan—I encountered that early in my career, and I really had to hold on tight to my passion for opera and its composers, because their whole thing is you’re best when you’re in your 60s or 70s. That’s when you really deliver the goods, artistically, and you have the knowledge, wisdom, technique, and the ability to create your finest work. H

p aradise THE SEEDS FOR THE CREATION OF HITHER HILLS AND MONTAUK POINT STATE PARKS WERE PLANTED 90 YEARS AGO. TODAY, THESE HAVENS ARE THE MAIN DRAWS FOR SURFERS, FISHING ENTHUSIASTS, AND NATURE LOVERS. BY EMILY J. WEITZ PHOTOGR APHY BY DOUG YOUNG

here’s something ancient, something timeless, about standing on a cliff in Montauk and looking out at the endless expanse of ocean waves crashing on a desolate, rocky shore. Surfers might bob in the water at Ditch Plains; a few people on horseback might meander across the stone beach below. But overall, it looks almost as it did when the Montaukett Indians hunted, fished, and foraged freely among these wilds. Montauk is a jewel at the eastern tip of Long Island—and a coveted one at that. Oceanfront properties are hard to come by, and although no one wants to see the land hacked up, record-breaking bids are often difficult to reject. But through the tireless work of those intent on keeping Montauk wild and free, it has maintained its identity. This year marks the 90th anniversary of two of Montauk’s treasured state parks: Hither Hills and Montauk Point.

F R O M FA R M L A N D TO PA R K L A N D Urban planner Robert Moses has a controversial history in New York City and Long Island, but what he began in Montauk became a legacy of preservation that has continued to this day. In 1924, as state parks commissioner, Moses used the power of eminent domain to condemn two massive pieces of land so that he could create Hither Hills and Montauk Point, which would become the first two state parks on the East End of Long Island. Frank “Shank” Dickinson was born in the same year of 1924 in Third House, which is literally the third house to be built in Montauk, back in the 1700s. “These houses housed the keepers of the cattle and sheep that were pastured all over Montauk,” says Dickinson in a conversation one morning. “Montauk was the first cattle ranch in the country—10,000 acres, and it was all pasture land in those days.” Dickinson’s father and grandfather farmed the land that is now Montauk
there was controversy. “The locals were up in arms about it,” Dickinson recalls. “But as it turns out, they liked it after a while. It brought a lot of money into the community.” Of the 1,755 acres of land protected at Hither Hills, most of it remains wild, just as it was in 1924. It’s home to the only campground in New York State situated right on the ocean, and is complete with playgrounds, snack bar, bathrooms and showers, and a general store. Permits are now limited to one-week stays, because the authorities found people would just stay all summer. “Hither Hills goes from the Atlantic to the Long Island Sound,” says Dickinson, “and it’s full of deer and turkeys, as it always was.”
W H E R E N AT U R E A N D H I S TO RY M E E T On the eastern boundary of Hither Hills State Park are the Walking Dunes. Jay Schneiderman, Suffolk County legislator and lover of all things Montauk, describes these dunes as Zen-like and beautiful. “The plants Entrance to Shadmoor.

County Park. A couple of years after Frank was born, his father became superintendent of Hither Hills. For more than 30 years, he managed the park, and after that, Frank Dickinson took over. “I was in charge from 1958 to 1980,” he says, “and over the years, we continued to acquire property in Montauk. The golf course, Montauk Downs, was purchased [by the state parks] in 1980. And we bought 1,250 acres of land in Amagansett that expanded Hither Hills.” Change is never easy, and even though the long-sighted vision of Robert Moses was to protect the land of Montauk, when he first proposed the idea,
that make it in the walking dunes don’t resist the wind,” Schneiderman says. “The grass is blown into perfect circles, and the sand moves like a slow-motion wave. You can see the ripples.” The Walking Dunes are so named not because they’re great for walking, but because the dunes themselves are actually migrating, swallowing up whole forests and turning trees into tiny shrubs. “They look like bushes, but they’re the tops of 40-foot-tall trees,” Schneiderman explains. “The roots are in the water 40 feet down, and somehow the tree is able to survive with that little bit of photosynthesis.”

The unique flora that thrives in the Walking Dunes includes a cranberry bog, bare berry and scrub oak, mushrooms, and beach heather. “When the sun is setting in the Walking Dunes,” Schneiderman says, “everything has a golden glow. Standing on top of a dune, looking out toward Lazy Point, that’s one of the most beautiful views anywhere.” Montauk Point State Park, which was also established in 1924, is home to the lighthouse, which is the fourth oldest in the United States. “George Washington signed the proclamation to build that lighthouse,” Dickinson says. “It was built in 1792 and was operated by the Coast Guard until Montauk Historical Society bought it, quite a few years back.” When Moses first protected the land in 1924, it was a 187-acre parcel. In the ’60s and ’70s, Perry Duryea, then active in the New York State Assembly, championed the purchase of more land, to enlarge the park to 850 acres. Now, people come from all over to stand at the eastern tip of Long Island and New York State, to climb the lighthouse and to fish, hike, and picnic. The Phantom Forest at the Walking Dunes, Hither Hills State Park.
P R OT E C T I N G A L E G AC Y Hither Hills and Montauk Point may have been the first great expanses of land to be protected by the state parks system, but they were not the last. Now, the hamlet of Montauk, not even a town of its own but part of the town of East Hampton, boasts several state parks: In addition to Hither Hills and Montauk Point, there is Camp Hero, Montauk Downs, Napeague, and Shadmoor. Schneiderman had an integral part in protecting the latter of these. I hike with him through the brambles of Shadmoor, ascending to its majestic cliffs, and talk about Moses’s legacy of conservation and how it continues to this day.
“ WHEN THE SUN IS SE T TING IN THE WALKING DUNES , EVERY THING HAS A GOLDEN GLOW.” — JAY SC H N EI D ER M AN “At one point, this area was zoned for 60 homes,” Schneiderman says, his arm sweeping over the sun-soaked hills. “The town used zoning to limit that to 12 large lots, but still the community feared losing access. These cliffs would not have been public, and the trail everyone loves to walk would have been lost.” This was all in the 1990s, before the institution of the real estate transfer tax (1998). This tax takes 2 percent of every real estate transfer and puts it into a special fund specifically for community preservation efforts. At that The lighthouse at Montauk Point State Park is the fourth oldest in the country, built in 1792.
time, however, East Hampton didn’t have preservation funds lying around to make a major purchase, so Schneiderman had to pool his resources. The Nature Conservancy committed $1 million toward the effort, and the town and county agreed to partner. “But we still needed the state,” he says. That’s when Duryea, who was no longer state assemblyman but still had a lot of clout, stepped in. “Perry did some heavy lifting,” says Schneiderman. “I got a call one day that the state [Environmental Protection Fund] had budgeted $7 million for Shadmoor, which was exactly what we needed to make the numbers work.”

Some of the coastal cliffs at Shadmoor overlooking the sea are 90 feet tall.
“ THESE HIGH COASTAL CLIFFS ARE RARE. I THINK OF THIS AS THE GRAND CANYON OF LONG ISL AND.” — JAY SC H N EI D ER M AN
Those four forces—town, county, state, and The Nature Conservancy—worked And then there’s the geological significance of the park. “We have 60together to come up with the $17.6 million necessary to protect the 99 acres of to 90-foot cliffs with rain-sculpted formations called hoodoos,” property that make up Shadmoor. “Today it would be 10 times as much,” Schneiderman says, climbing under the fence that warns not to go too Schneiderman says. close to the edge. “These high coastal cliffs are rare.

Yet they have withstood storms through Montauk [during World War II],” Schneiderman explains. “That’s and tides. Schneiderman explains that the fine sediment of the cliffs was when these bunkers were built.” The structures were designed to look, from actually from the bottom of the ocean, pushed up into these massive forms the water, like regular houses. But upon close inspection, they are fortlike concrete buildings with long slits, through which guns would be A sign warns visitors to stay pointed. The bunkers are there today, and you can walk right up to on the trail. them. You can touch them. There’s even evidence that people have climbed them. Had the land remained in the private domain, these bunkers would have been photographed, archived, and destroyed. Another thing that brought the property’s attention to the public was the discovery of an endangered plant called the sandplain gerardia. This little plant with pale pink blossoms is the only plant in New York State on the federal endangered species list. According to a report by The Nature Conservancy, 60,000 acres of native grassland once provided habitat for this plant, but now, all but 200 acres have been lost to development. Shadmoor is one of the few places the plant still grows.
Shadmoor is part of Montauk’s vast parks system.
during the last glacial period. “Every time I come here, it looks slightly different,” Schneiderman says. “The biggest culprit is the rain. Because it’s clay, as it gets wet, it dissolves. So when the rain hits it, it literally just washes down. But there’s something majestic, almost mystical about these cliffs. They’re like sculptures.” As we make our way out of the park, the air is quiet except for the constant orchestra of birds and insects, and the hum of the wind. Finally, Schneiderman speaks. “There’s a vast park system in Montauk,” he says, “with marshlands, grasslands, coastal cliffs, and estuaries. When you look at it from above, it’s breathtaking because you see how much is preserved.” It’s a sentiment that echoes that of one of Montauk’s most deeply rooted citizens, Frank Dickinson. “Those state parks in Montauk were the best thing that ever happened to the town of East Hampton,” he says. “It kept the land as it was: undeveloped.” H

ON THE HEELS OF THE FOOD INDUSTRY’S GROWING FARM-TOTABLE MOVEMENT, LOCAL FISHERMEN ESTABLISH THEIR OWN LOCAVORE PROGRAM AND INSTITUTE MAJOR CHANGES TO HELP PRESERVE A WAY OF LIFE THAT HELPED BUILD THE HAMPTONS. BY SYLVIE BIGAR PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUG YOUNG

I have a confession to make: I don’t love fish. I know I should. At least that was my opinion until I tried monkfish, caught in Montauk and delivered to Gramercy Tavern in Manhattan by an environmentally conscious fisherman named Sean Barrett via his Montauk-based endeavor, Dock to Dish. It is the oceanic version of farm-to-table, and the first restaurant-supported fishery in North America. Set against a bright green asparagus coulis, a fan of thick white slices dotted with toasted hazelnuts and wisteria flowers glistened on the plate. I took a bite. This bore no resemblance to anything I had tried before: Seemingly neither fish nor meat, each silky sliver felt like a new kind of protein. It dissolved in my mouth in an instant, leaving just a briny, dare I say it, desire for more. The idea for Dock to Dish (docktodish.com), which launched in the Hamptons in 2012, came to Barrett, a passionate, baby-faced gentleman-fisherman, several years earlier on the old continent. Seated with friends at an open-air eatery on the harbor of Spain’s San Sebastián, Barrett, then a 24-year-old bartender in Westhampton Beach by night and avid East End angler by day, could not have guessed he was about to meet up with his destiny. “I was watching the fishermen unload their catch, stuff it into worn wicker baskets filled with ice, and stroll into the restaurants,” he says. “As they left, empty-handed, the waiters were already scribbling the names of the fish on the boards. Suddenly it hit me, why can’t we do this at home?”

“Restoring native shellfish habitat is now a trend all around the country, but Long Island is a microcosm of what’s happening elsewhere.” —mike doall
Once back on the East End, Barrett first took stock of what was happening on land. The farm-to-table movement was exploding. Inspired by Scott Chaskey from Quail Hill Farm in Amagansett, who founded one of the original CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture), and by Dan Barber, the co-owner and celebrated executive chef at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Barrett vowed to find a way to bring the freshest possible fish directly to the consumers. But he didn’t realize what a can of worms he was opening. “Today, 90 percent of our seafood is imported, and half of it is farmed under dubious conditions,” says author Paul Greenberg, most famous for his award-winning New York Times best seller Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food (Penguin Press). “But wait, it gets worse—we export a third of what we catch, most of it, wild.” At an Edible Institute event, Greenberg summed up a conversation he had recently with an old-timer fishmonger at the Fulton Fish Market (now located in the Bronx). “‘Used to be the housewives came to the market,’ said the fishmonger. ‘We told them what was freshest and how to cook it. They left and came back for more, happy. Now, they go to the supermarket, ask the fish guy, who, until the day before, was at the deli counter and knows nothing. They buy fish wrapped in plastic, and it’s awful.’” In his new book, American Catch: The Fight for Our Local Seafood, Greenberg addresses what happened to the local seafood industry, how we lost it, and what we can do to regain it. His advice, in a nutshell? Buy American fish. “On the East End, fishing was a way of life, similar to farming,” says Colin Mather, owner of The Seafood Shop in Wainscott. “Today, the regulations, while helping the fish stock, have made it very difficult for fishermen to make ends meet.” On the client side, what Mather hears the most is, “What’s local?” but no one seems to agree on the definition of the word. “Are we talking about a 350-mile radius, like at the Greenmarket, or are we talking about Peconic Bay?” he asks. Perhaps the precise answer doesn’t matter that much as long as the fish was not caught weeks ago in the Pacific, while here in the Hamptons, diners are surrounded by some of the most beautiful waters on earth. On Long Island and beyond, chefs, fishermen, and authors are fighting on behalf of the sea because they believe it is still possible to reverse the tide.
Montauk still life: the freshest possible bluefish.
At Ruschmeyer’s, Executive Chef Wohlars blends local smoked bluefish with fresh mixed greens.
At Ruschmeyer’s,
the hip-haute summer camp in Montauk, newly appointed Executive Chef Roy Wohlars slips local smoked bluefish among the fluffy layers of his scrambled eggs and studs the raw bar with a different kind of gem—Montauk Pearls—deep-cup oysters harvested just a few miles away. Stringing the “pearls” is Mike Martinsen, a “reformed” commercial fisherman-turned-oyster farmer. After years of watching the fishing boats armed with sonar and trawlers destroy life in the very waters they depend on, Martinsen went back to school and graduated from Stony Brook University with a degree in marine biology. There, he met marine biologist Mike Doall, who would become his business partner. Shielded under a large straw hat and with eyes the color of the ocean, Martinsen has finally found his calling. “We’ve created the first commercial surface-grown oyster farm in New York State,” he says. “Most oysters are grown at the bottom, but our Pearls take advantage of phytoplankton and of the wave activity that can be found at the surface.”

“We’ve created the first commercial surface-grown oyster farm in New York State.” —mike martinsen Because the oysters feed on the plankton and filter the water around them, they have a positive impact on the surrounding waters—they are the epitome of sustainability. “We are 120 miles from New York City,” says Martinsen, watching bags of oysters dangle on Lake Montauk. “Here and in the Block Island Sound, where we lease more space, the water is pristine.” “Restoring native shellfish habitat is now a trend all around the country,” Doall says, “but Long Island is a microcosm of what’s happening elsewhere.” From Great South Bay to the Peconic Bay, nature conservationists fight to combat the effects of the 1980s’ brown tides. “Shellfish aquaculture has to be part of our future,” he adds. “To me, our farm is a vineyard on the water.” Later that night, at the bar at Almond in Bridgehampton, I sample a Montauk Pearl: Crisp and sweet, it speaks of coastal breezes and an ocean teeming with life. Dock to Dish riches are all over the menu. I start with a sea bream (also called porgy) crudo, the fish sliced thinly, barely dressed with aji amarillo (chili) for a drop of heat, olives for their salty bite, and avocado that mirrors the silky texture of the fish, then on to the best clam chowder of my life. Why is it that I feel I have never tasted seafood before? “You shouldn’t have an idea for a dish and then try to find the ingredients,” says Almond’s Executive Chef Jason Weiner. “The ingredient is the boss; it should lead us to inspiration.” But he explains that with Dock to Dish, the process can also feel like a high-wire dance because the chefs don’t know, until the day before, which species of fish they will be getting. “And that’s the fun of it, too,” he says. “We leave the dock in Montauk at 3:30 AM, deliver to Nick & Toni’s and Almond, and then head to Manhattan,” says Barrett, whose NYC clients include Le Bernardin and Telepan. In his treasure chest, this modern pirate carries pounds of the carefully chosen sustainable fish he gets right off the 36 Montauk-based boats he has partnered with, thanks to his longterm ties to the community.
Co-owners of the Montauk Shellfish Company Mike Martinsen (LEFT) and Mike Doall rotate the oysters regularly.
Martinsen wears his trademark straw hat to shield him from the strong East End summer light.
Just after harvest,
the fish is brined in a mix of freshwater ice and seawater with a crust of kosher salt seal at the top. As in a CSA, individual and chef members prepay to receive a weekly delivery of seafood guaranteed to reach its destination within 24 hours of leaving the dock. They learn how the fish were harvested, where, and by whom. Through Dock to Dish, Barrett is restoring the communication channels between the fishermen and the customers, reverting to a time when middlemen didn’t exist. But to this day, despite all the sonar in the world, the ocean and its creatures remain a mystery. “It’s all about the moon, the wind, the cloud cover,” says Barrett. “Ask a fisherman what’s happening in the water, and he will look up to the sky to map the birds’ behavior.” There’s always a bit of unknown, and the members of Dock to Dish, whether individuals or restaurants, have to be able to work with that. “I’ll call Sean Barrett,” says Jenny Jones, the receiving manager at Gramercy Tavern, “and say, ‘Dude, what’s coming?’” Summer is finally on its way, and in the ensuing weeks, I feel my sense of taste literally bloom. Here are the first strawberries that actually taste like the strawberries of my childhood. The grass is cut, and I inhale its bouquet as if it were perfume. Perhaps I had never eaten fish this fresh, or perhaps it is the combination of freshness and sustainability in the hands of great chefs that revives the way fish was always supposed to taste: delicious.

CATCHING THE WAVES: Gina Bradley, Paddle Diva “It’s a great way to get women involved in a more challenging watersport because it gives you an exhilaration similar to that of catching a wave— but it’s a million times easier,” says Paddle Diva founder Gina Bradley, whose 60-minute standup paddleboard workout builds core strength, arm muscles, and overall body alignment while focusing on the proper technique. “Many people are scared at first because they’ve maybe tried surfing in the ocean, but the classes take place in
the bay where it’s much calmer.” Bradley—a fitness veteran who has taught everything from scuba diving to aerobics—grew up in New York and began coming out East in her 20s as a windsurfer. “My love for the area kept blossoming to the point where I moved out here permanently,” she says. Based out of Shagwong Marina in Springs, Bradley’s class focuses on what the instructor refers to as paddling “with intention,” engaging the
body and core and leaning into each stroke. “Some clients have told me they didn’t get much out of paddleboarding the first time they tried it,” says Bradley, whose clients include Bethenny Frankel, Christy Turlington, and Olivia Chantecaille. “But that’s probably because they weren’t doing it correctly.” This summer, in addition to her famed paddling sessions, her fitness classes will be taught on SUPs while being tethered to a line. 219 Three Mile Harbor Road, Springs, 329-2999; paddlediva.com

STAR POWER: Will Torres, Willspace The founder of West Village gym Willspace, celebrity trainer Will Torres is the go-to expert behind such beautiful bodies as those belonging to Julia Restoin Roitfeld and Mark Consuelos. “I take a full-body approach when developing a program and look at the individual needs of each client,” says Torres, who also enjoys long runs in Sagaponack and Wainscott when working with clients out East. “I focus on developing a strong foundation and core that moves well and performs at a high level; it’s not about the number of reps or the amount of weight lifted—the focus is more on mastering the proper technique of the exercise.” As part of his program, Torres incorporates myofascial release methods (using a person’s own body weight to roll on objects such as foam rollers, lacrosse balls, and rolling sticks) to release knots, knead away pain, and lengthen muscles. “Many of our clients sit at a desk for hours during the day and the muscles become shortened, which can lead to spasms and tightness and ultimately affect the way you move and exercise,” he says. “By incorporating these two methods into a client’s workout, it provides a framework for a safe and effective fitness program.” willspace.com

SHORE SCULPTOR: Amanda Freeman, SLT Developed by founder Amanda Freeman, SLT turns up the volume on the lengthening and strengthening aspects of Pilates with a Megaformer/Lagree Fitness–based workout that counts Sofia Vergara, Kyra Sedgwick, and Jessica Hart among its devotees. “SLT combines cardio, strength training, and Pilates into a full-body workout that burns calories rapidly and sculpts the physique in ways traditional exercise cannot,” says Freeman, who will feature exclusive new Interval classes along with HardCore classes and offer private sessions as well at her studio in Water Mill. The Hamptons location is one of the studio’s most intimate settings, featuring mood-boosting natural lighting and a total of nine Megaformers. “The smaller studio allows for lots of extra personal attention,” says Freeman, who has been spending summers in the Hamptons for 15 years. Freeman first discovered the Megaformer— an amped-up version of the traditional Pilates reformer—on a visit to LA, and she realized immediately she’d stumbled onto something special. “I was trying to achieve long, lean, and toned muscles and had grown dissatisfied with the options that were available in NYC,” she says. “After taking that first class, I could feel my muscles changing and saw instantly that it works very quickly.” 50 Station Road, Building 3, Unit #2, Water Mill, 212-355-1737; sltnyc.com

OM BY THE OCEAN: Jessica Bellofatto, KamaDeva Yoga Jessica Bellofatto, the founder and director of KamaDeva Yoga in East Hampton, first discovered yoga as a dance major at NYU and has been trained in the Jivamukti method, although she describes her approach as a “mixture” of several different styles. “I firmly believe that you have to seek out a style and teacher that resonate with you—that relationship can be very important,” says Bellofatto, who has taught
with some of the East End’s most prominent yoga ambassadors, including Russell Simmons and Christy Turlington. For summer, KamaDeva is introducing a new class called Foundation Training, developed specifically for back and core strength. “It makes the body and core really strong, which carries on into any other sport or activity,” says the East End native, who grew up working summer jobs on
Dune Road in Westhampton Beach before eventually moving to Bridgehampton full time in 2001. “I grew up on the beach and love being in the water. I painted the walls of my studio a deep, bright blue so you feel like you’re in the ocean, and the ceiling is painted a sand color,” says Bellofatto. “Every class is simple, not fussy or complicated. We have an easy, summery vibe.” 15 Lumber Lane, East Hampton, 604-1382; kamadevayoga.com

For those who are looking to shake up their usual fitness routine, AKT inMotion, the highenergy interval workout developed by former dancer (and Kelly Ripa’s go-to trainer) Anna Kaiser, features a variety of different sweatinducing methods, including circuit training, cardio, and flexibility exercises. “Our program changes every two weeks so you never get bored and we keep pushing you past your plateaus,” says Kaiser, whose AKT program incorporates everything from hip-hop and ballet to Pilates and kickboxing. “You’re not going to want to work out if you’re not enjoying it and not progressing.” Kaiser’s workout philosophy should translate well to the work hard/play hard credo of the Hamptons crowd. “There’s a fun atmosphere and loud pumping music and low lights,” she says of AKT inMotion, which offers four types of
284
classes, including S&M, a 90-minute class that mixes dance cardio with flexibility and strength, and the dance-free 4Play, which focuses on eliminating fat and building endurance. She’s also offering a full range of services, including nutrition, acupuncture, and massage, as well as private and semiprivate classes in Montauk and East Hampton. “I love Montauk,” says Kaiser. “I grew up in California, so it feels most like a Cali beach to me.” 1 Bay St., Sag Harbor, 725-0707; 395 County Road, 39A, Southampton, 283-4770 (both, classes/private training); Silich Core & Strength, 79 Newtown Lane, 767-2709 (private/ semiprivate); aktinmotion.com

YIN AND YANG: Adam Zickerman, Power of 10 Most Hamptonites agree that it can be a challenge to fit even an hour of fitness into an action-packed weekend, but we all have 20 minutes a week to spare, maintains Adam Zickerman, founder of InForm Fitness. His Power of 10 workout, a highintensity, slow-motion resistance-training regimen, promises “an entire week’s worth” of exercise in just 20 to 30 minutes. “We focus on building and maintaining muscle, which ultimately helps to supercharge your metabolism, increase cardiovascular endurance, and combat a variety of health problems,” he says. The Power of 10 method works by significantly reducing the speed of each repetition to a cycle of 10 seconds up and 10 seconds down with no rest in between, until the muscles are pushed to failure. “When you slow down repetitions, your muscles are forced to work harder because they become unable to rely on momentum to propel movement.” The workout is now available by appointment to Hamptons residents via a retrofitted “mobile gym” shuttle bus. “The workout is exactly the same as in my 4,000-square-foot Manhattan center—it just happens to be on wheels,” says Zickerman. And if a blink-and-you-might-missit session isn’t convincing enough, clients are actually encouraged to rest four to seven days in between workouts. “The workout and the rest are the yin and yang of the muscle building,” says Zickerman. “You need to eat well and strength train, but you also need to sit back, relax, and let your body recover if you want to meet your goals.” informfitness.com

The go-to cycling instructor for an impressive roster of clients—Flywheel fans include Sean Avery, Jessica Alba, and Katie Couric—Kate Hickl brings an infectious energy, as well as a healthy dose of mind/body awareness, to her classes. “My class is a pretty intense and fastpaced 45 minutes,” Hickl says. “There’s lots of choreography and not a lot of downtime.” Hickl designs high-energy playlists to keep clients motivated throughout the workout, incorporating tracks from dance, pop, hip-hop, and alternative. “As much as people are into remix songs, I like to have a bit more originality,” she says of the classes that also offer an “accountability”
286
factor, where instructors suggest target resistance levels and a large TorqBoard displays class leaders and their performance data. And while the popular workout provides a relatively quick—and efficient—option for busy East Enders, Hickl is keen to stay on top of clients who are stuck in vacation mode. “There’s definitely an energy in the Hamptons that’s different—people tend to be a little more laid back,” she notes. “If I’m feeling like a group is a little too relaxed, I’ll play a pop song so people can sing along and stay engaged.” 65 Montauk Hwy., East Hampton, 329-8622; 1 Bay St., Sag Harbor, 8994256; flywheelsports.com

CHALLENGE CHAMPION: Adam Rosante, The People’s Bootcamp and WaveShape
PHOTOGRAPHY BY TK; ILLUSTRATION BY TK PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATE ROSANTE
Adam Rosante is the visionary behind The People’s Bootcamp, a high-intensity workout using bodyweight as resistance, as well as the WaveShape, a travel-friendly online workout first developed for pro-surfers. He helps Hamptonites get moving every Saturday morning on the front lawn of Ruschmeyer’s, where his clients range from groups of vacationers to East End VIPs, including model Leilani Bishop and chef Sam Talbot. “All of my workouts are fast, ridiculously efficient, and ignite the ‘afterburn effect’ to help you burn more calories for 36 hours post-workout,” says Rosante, who was recently tapped as a brand ambassador for Target’s C9 by Champion fitness line and just completed his first fitness book, The 30-Second Body (Penguin Random House), slated for release early next year. “I love taking clients to the beach, with or without equipment. The sand creates an additional challenge that really helps you tone up and slim down. Plus, there’s nothing in the world like diving into the ocean after a killer workout!” Splitting his time between New York City and Montauk, Rosante champions getting fit as much as he does kicking back with a glass of rosé. “I for one would rather spend my time laughing with family and friends over a great meal than slogging away for hours in a gym or studio,” says Rosante, who grew up on the East End. “Life should be looked at as a game of chess, not checkers—make smart moves now, and you’ll reap the benefits far into the future.” thepeoplesbootcamp.com; getinwaveshape.com H

PLAY CHEF MARC MURPHY AND HIS WIFE, PAM, CELEBRATE THEIR NEW BRIDGEHAMPTON HOME BY HOSTING THE PERFECT SUMMER LUNCH.

on’t use my board for leverage,” says Pam Murphy, mock scolding her husband, Marc, as they paddleboard on Sagaponack Pond just down the road from their newly built beach house in Bridgehampton. He is an avid surfer and paddleboarder who hardly needs assistance on the water, yet several times during their morning session he leans on her for support. It’s a pattern seen time and again, regardless of the activity: She’s organized and collected, he can be a little impulsive. But one thing they both clearly enjoy is entertaining. Marc is the renowned chef who, along with Pam, co-owns Benchmarc Restaurants by Marc Murphy, a group with nearly 600 employees that operates four popular eateries in Manhattan: Landmarc in Tribeca and Time Warner Center, Ditch Plains in the West Village and the Upper West Side. Kingside on 57th Street is Murphy’s latest restaurant venture. Among many charitable efforts that address proper nutrition and ending hunger in our communities, Marc works closely with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign and is a board member of the nonprofit City Harvest. He can also be seen as a judge on the Food Network’s ratings-topper Chopped, and will be publishing his first cookbook next year. While the Murphys have a demanding schedule—Marc handles all things culinary for the business and Pam manages the branding and marketing strategy—today is no work and all play, even though it involves preparing lunch for 14 people (an early birthday celebration for their 10-year-old daughter, Campbell, who will soon be going off to sleep-away camp; 7-yearold son Callen is with his grandparents at a baseball game). That means heading back to the house and prepping all the food: two summer salads and grilled lamb chops. “This is a day off. I love doing this!” Marc exclaims. It’s 11 AM and the house is aflutter with activity: children playing in the swimming pool, a set of parents lounging on the deck, and several workmen on the ground floor putting the finishing touches on the front yard and driveway of the house. Pam manages the contained chaos with little effort, at once tending to the children, making small talk with the parents, and directing the workers as Marc heads to the uppermost deck to fire up the grill. It’s a familiar dynamic

“We stay home a lot. On the weekends, we don’t go out to restaurants.” —Pam Murphy
for the Murphys; when they opened their first restaurant in 2004, Landmarc [Tribeca], Pam worked the front of the house, while Marc worked in the kitchen. “We really did start the business together,” she remarks. The Murphys just moved into their new modernist sanctuary over Memorial Day weekend. The three-story concrete, glass, and steel structure, with direct access to the beach, resembles a boutique hotel, as it was designed with relaxation as the ultimate goal. “We wanted everything to be really open—we have a lot of people to the house every week,” Pam says. “I wanted it to feel like a beach house, obviously a more modern one, but easy. There’s nothing difficult about this house.” The couple had previously occupied the home that was originally on the site, but found it to be too small to accommodate more family and friends— an important aspect of their lifestyle on the East End. “We stay home a lot. On the weekends, we don’t go out to restaurants,” Pam says. Marc echoes that sentiment: “I’d rather cook myself and be home. I hate the idea of drinking and driving—I’d rather go out to eat in the city because I can take the subway home.” While Pam sets the table, Marc goes into action. One of his pet projects this summer is getting to know his new outdoor wood-burning grill—an intimidating device, part fireplace, part incinerator, that lets one control the proximity of the heat coming off the hickory embers. “It’s all trial by fire, literally. You got to learn how to use this thing, so I’m still working at it.” Marc says, adding that wind on this third-floor deck is a factor he hadn’t accounted for. “But the flavor you get off this is phenomenal!” Suddenly the music comes on. Like an easy-listening radio station, the speakers transmit a breezy mix of pop and indie ditties from the ’90s and today. “What I Got” by Sublime, “Island in the Sun” by Weezer... it all goes with the beach vibe of the house. “What Pam plays is more popular and what everybody else wants to listen to,” comments Marc, who would play something by Lil Wayne if he had his way. Once the lamb chops are done, lunch is served, paired with a refreshing glass of rosé. “Does everybody have wine, whatever you need? Don’t be shy. Grab what you need,” Marc announces. “We entertain a lot, but I don’t really try to do too much waiting on,” he says. The crowd then goes silent— the hallmark of any great meal that is simply too delicious to interrupt. Another song comes on, this one by indie artist Mat Kearney. “Oh here we go,” Marc says, rolling his eyes. “He is such a good songwriter, I love him,” gushes Pam of the singer, to Marc’s exaggerated chagrin. Her adoration for Kearney has twinges of teen-idol worship, making the artist fodder for a running gag of faux jealousy between the couple. “I can’t explain why I like him,” she says, teasing. “You can’t explain your love for somebody you’ve never known.” The banter between Marc and Pam is just part of the show, a volley of good humor and conversation that encourages everyone present to participate. They provide the entertainment, spectacular food, an inviting atmosphere, and ever-flowing rosé to create an idyllic summer afternoon on the East End. H THIS PAGE, FROM TOP:

In celebration of our Summer of Giving, Hamptons Magazine has created a custom artists surfboard auction to benefit the Southampton Hospital Jenny & John Paulson Emergency Department. This program is being sponsored by Douglas Elliman and supported by Global Surf Industries and New York Sunshine Surf Club. Nine renowned artists have created custom surfboards, reflecting their artistic aesthetic and connection to the East End, including Thomas Dash, Peter Dayton, Michael Dweck, Jerome Lucani, Paton Miller, Jeff Muhs, Peter Tunney, Charles Wildbank, and iconic artist Peter Max, who also designed our magazine cover. These one-of-a-kind works of art will be accompanied at auction by personal experiences with each artist, reflecting their own interests and lifestyle. The surfboards will be on display at Douglas Elliman’s Bridgehampton location and are available on Charitybuzz until August 6th for bidding.

Haute Property NEWS, STARS, AND TRENDS IN REAL ESTATE
This sevenbedroom Robert A.M. Stern– designed home in Water Mill is on the market for $27.5 million.
PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAKE RAJS
Pedigree Property A WATER MILL HOME BY FAMED ARCHITECT ROBERT A.M. STERN COMES TO MARKET. BY MIKE OLSON
I
n May, a duplex in Robert A.M. Stern’s tower at 15 Central Park West fetched $48 million—roughly double what it cost in March 2008 ($23.9 million)—while his West Village property, Superior Ink, was named the fifth-costliest building of 2013, collecting $3,901 per square foot. It’s safe to say that investing in the 75-year-old architect is a growth opportunity. But decades before he redefined modern luxury in Manhattan, Stern was doing the same in the Hamptons. And while his more recent offerings dot the East End from Bridgehampton to Montauk with stops in Sagaponack and East Hampton (where he famously designed the Town Hall) in between, one of his classics—a seven-bedroom, 6,100-square-foot home sitting on 4.6 pristine acres on the shore of Mecox Bay—is on the market in Water Mill. Though it was built nearly 30 years ago, this home is quintessential Stern, nodding to the Hamptons’ rich, shingle-style past with a particular focus on the perfect proportions of every window, door, room, and hallway. “The continued on page 326

HAUTE PROPERTY
“The Hamptons struck me as being specifically American.” —CLIVE ASLET
ABOVE:
The bayfront home has 300 feet of waterfront plus a dock. A sunken tennis court and heated gunite pool are placed so as not to obstruct the view. BELOW: The double-height entry hall also provides a glimpse of the water.
sheer width of the property gave Stern, who is also dean of Yale School of Architecture and J.M. Hoppin Professor, room to exploit those expansive western views by tucking the sister structures—a sunken tennis court, a heated gunite pool, a caretaker cottage—in less conspicuous areas. “When you have such a wide piece of property, you can have all of those things without obstructing your view,” adds Grant. “You have more open space, and that means the house gets western sunsets. It’s just a great piece of property.” Those westward views are immediately on display upon stepping into the home’s double-height entry hall and continuing throughout the living room, den, kitchen (with breakfast area), and dining room (with built-in service bar). Upstairs, the vistas are even more breathtaking from the master and guest suites, as well as the office tucked into the home’s trademark cupola. The end result is unmistakably Stern, the early work of a man on the verge of mastering his craft. “When I first visited the US to tour Bob Stern’s houses, what struck me most was the self-confidence,” remembers Clive Aslet, the British author of The American Houses of Robert A.M. Stern, a book dedicated to the architect’s blending of historical tradition with contemporary needs. “He was doing things without any reservation about referring to tradition. In fact, he seemed to be picking up right where early 20thcentury architects had left off.” continued on page 328
MAN-ABOUTTOWN Architect Robert A.M. Stern has left an indelible mark on the East End. While Robert A.M. Stern has designed outstanding buildings throughout the world, he has consistently been present in the Hamptons. In addition to designing numerous residential projects over the years, Stern renovated East Hampton’s Guild Hall in 2009—a five-year endeavor that included restoring the John Drew Theater. He also renovated the four structures of East Hampton Town Hall, updating them with sustainable elements like natural ventilation and solar shading. Most recently, his firm designed the 6,800-square-foot children’s addition to the East Hampton Library, completed this June. With half timbering, brick wainscoting, and leaded glass windows, the expansion’s design seamlessly blends with the 1910 structure’s original aesthetic.

continued from page 326 Though Aslet’s book chronicled homes in locations ranging from the mountains to the city, he was most drawn to Stern’s work on the East End. “There’s a great sense of place in Bob Stern’s houses, and the Hamptons struck me as being specifically American,” Aslet explains. “The area is very beautiful with such great light. Americans can do informal living in style!” Sotheby’s Grant can attest to that, and that’s why he’s confident this $27.5 million home will not be on the market long. “Stern carries a lot of weight,” Grant says. “The combination of that name, the way the owners have kept the house immaculate, and the location with 300 feet of waterfront Garden tour: Robert A.M.

Michael Braverman: People refer to the Hamptons as either the country or the beach, and I’ve always been intrigued about how they choose their definition. Michael Schultz: It’s a very subjective question, and a lot depends on where you live. If you live close to the beach and the dunes, it’s very beach-like. If you’re living in the northwest woods, you might have a whole different perspective. It also may have a lot to do with where your primary residence is, assuming that the Hamptons is a second home. If you live in the suburbs of New Jersey, Westchester, or Connecticut, coming here might be the beach because you live in what they call the country. If you’re a New York City dweller, which I am, I always feel that I am coming to the country. Al Giaquinto: Many of my clients refer to their houses as country homes. Some of them do call it a beach house even if it’s not on the shore, because their orientation is that when they come to the East End, they’re going to go to the beach. MB: Leonardo da Vinci once said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” How does that apply to the way you see things here in your work? Dan Thorpe: As landscape architects, we often work within the context of our area. It’s very simple out here, and simple is tough to do and make continued on page 332

continued from page 330 believable. To create something that looks like it has always been here, so that it fits the context of the country and the beach, is difficult, but in that challenge we find a lot of success. AG: Our product, called Modern Barn, is simple in its design and simple in its execution, however, very difficult to achieve. We find that our clientele asks for places to relax, rejuvenate, recreate, and bring family together away from their hectic life in their primary residence. We focus on those particular areas to give them the space, features, and amenities that support those activities. Laura Sanatore: One of the challenges we face is having a kitchen or bathroom be simplistic, beautiful, and functional. Sometimes, in design, the function gets lost. One of the things that we try to achieve is the airiness of the beach—it looks beautiful, it’s simple, clean, sophisticated, timeless— but then it also works for the people involved. Michael Brandes: I see simplicity as a design direction. I see it, obviously, in modern houses that are now ever more popular, but I see it even in some of the newer traditional houses where they’re taking away some of the heavy molding that was being used 10 years ago. They’re using much less in the way of finishes. Donato Maselli: I’d like to pan out a little and focus more on what’s been going on in the last couple of decades—preserved land being gobbled up. Everybody has to have a tennis court, and everybody has to have the gourmet kitchen and the home theater, and I feel like it’s never used. It needs to return to what this place used to be about. As professionals, many of us inherently want to do that, and it’s very difficult to convince a paying continued on page 334

continued from page 332 client that the real idea of being out at the beach is the beach, the landscape, and the inherent beauty of the Hamptons. AG: Part of why it’s happening is there are a lot of spec houses being built, so homes are not made for the individual. If they were, you wouldn’t have the repetitive nature; there would be a lot more individuality with the architecture. What I’m starting to see is that it’s all the same and, as an architect, it does bother me. Our mission is to create something for the individual—about their taste, their view of how they should be living—not something that’s forced upon them. DT: I understand your concern with excess and things getting bigger, but what drives our scope of work is the skill of our work. Our clients are used to a certain level of comfort, and their idea of coming out to the Hamptons is, yes, going to the beach, but also being at home with family and not having to drive around town and get stuck in the crazy traffic that reminds them of the city. MS: I don’t think any of us are touching on the new economic reality of land prices in the Hamptons—that is the big difference why people are building to the max. When you’re paying $4 million for an acre of land in Sagaponack South, you’re not going to build to the max. LS: There are two different types of architects out here: the kind who do spec houses and the architects who look at the client. I agree that people are spending a lot of money on land, and they should get what they want—this is a lifestyle. The architects who are looking at the client are building something that’s not in excess. With that said, there are other
people out here who build too much, and they build simply for the sake of building. MB: Buyers versus renters—what does the real estate market look like this year? MS: There was a time back in 2009, 2010, 2011, even 2012, where if you didn’t sell your house, you could always rent it, but now a lot of those houses are sold and people are using them. Just on the basis of supply and demand, rental prices are going up. Location matters less sometimes when you’re renting, and a lot depends on the budget, but I’ve seen people who think they want to be south of the highway, but when they’re renting, they’re just as happy to be north of the highway in a house that’s nicely done inside with new furniture and a clean, crisp design. Martha Gundersen: I agree on the economy being better and people being more willing to spend money on a high-end rental, but I see many people who have purchased houses putting them on the market for rent. Also, people are investing money into their houses and improving them, whereas maybe two years ago, they said, “No, I’m not spending money on a new stove.” If you’re going to rent your house, minimalize—take your continued on page 336

continued from page 334 personal things out. Last year’s rental market was a mixed bag—the good houses went quickly at a good price, but a lot of the people who had purchased houses and hoped to rent them without putting much improvement into them were stuck with high-priced rentals that they couldn’t rent. MB: What architecture is indicative of the beach versus the country? Michael Brandes: Many of our clients come to us with the shingle style, which obviously was developed back in the early 1900s by McKim, Mead & White, architects who built these homes specifically for the elite of the aristocrats of New York City. People still want the 100-year-old house on the outside, but would love to have the modern interiors and space planning. The way we live today, that’s the majority of our work. MS: It involves what people are looking for and particular tastes. There are certain neighborhoods that lend themselves to a more traditional, shingle-style house, and there are others that might lend themselves to a more modern house. It’s clearly a growing trend right now toward modern houses and maybe Al’s Modern Barn style. A lot really depends on the buyer and the neighborhood. AG: Clients are conservative. When it comes to the exterior of their building, they tend to lean toward the tried-and-true. That home, out here, is the shingle style. Many of our clients are second, third generation coming out here, and they want a home that reminds them of what they grew up in, so history plays a major role in how the architecture evolves out here. DT: One trend we’re seeing in landscape architecture is people building more swimming pools on the landward side of the house as opposed to the ocean side. The ocean’s very unforgiving, and it’s very uncomfortable fully exposed to the elements. LS: The younger clientele is looking for something cleaner. Personally,
336
we’ve worked on more modern homes, and the traditional homes that we’ve worked on have been very traditional in their exterior and completely modern on the inside. MB: A new buyer without an unlimited budget—where would you advise them to look, and what kind of house should they buy or build? MG: If you have a limited budget, there are many opportunities if you go further from a village or the beach. You’re never too far from the beach or a village here, but there’s a lot of opportunity in properties “north of the highway.” And don’t be afraid to research what you can do architecturally on a property, because sometimes you’ll be pleasantly surprised. You get your best value if you work with a very experienced broker who knows the area and where the values are. LS: I tell my clients to look at the bones of the house—does it have the potential to be something great? A lot of these houses out here do. Everything can be added upon; everything can be gutted and renovated. With the right renovation decisions, you can have a beautiful home. H

FUELED BY A SHARED PASSION FOR GREAT FOOD, THEIR DEDICATION TO ONE ANOTHER HAS BEEN THE KEY TO THEIR SUCCESS. BY CARRIE DOYLE KARASYOV PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUG YOUNG
I
n the beginning, there were several pecks of peppers. A bumper crop, really. And a hurricane was coming. A giant tempest that would be the catalyst for the evolution of Round Swamp Farm as we know it today. It was August, several decades ago, and Carolyn Snyder and her husband, Harold, were frantically trying to pack up all of their produce that they sold out of a small hut on Round Swamp Farm, the property that had been in Carolyn’s family for more than 300 years. When she was barely in the double digits, Carolyn had started selling local strawberries and vegetables out of a
340
little red farm stand, and through hard work, as well as Harold’s gains as a fisherman, the business was providing a much-needed income. But now the threatening storm was imminent, and they couldn’t afford to have the vegetables perish as they waited it out. Revered in her community for her tireless efforts and generosity on behalf of multiple causes—including the East Hampton Library, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, and Fighting Chance, a cancer charity—Snyder had to improvise. continued on page 342

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

FAMILY PORTRAIT
continued from page 340 “Being poor, you just couldn’t throw everything away,” explains Carolyn from inside the kitchen of her almost 300-year-old house that abuts the current market. Now in her late 60s, she has assumed the role of the matriarch of the extended Lester family since the death of her mother, Barbara, in January. “We were so poor, I had to pay my sister in rolls of pennies. We had to do something with the peppers so they wouldn’t go to waste.” They decided to pickle them and make relish. They started with sweet relish and then added three different varieties of hot relish, as customers kept requesting hot, hotter, and even hotter. As word spread, renowned pastry chef Maida Heatter stopped by when she was on a visit to Craig Claiborne’s house and signed all of her cookbooks that the Round Swamp family loved, before purchasing a ton of relishes that she described as her husband’s absolute favorite thing. After that, the family expanded into strawberry jam. Vats and vats were made in the living room, and rugs were ruined—but the jams were a hit. Then came the chocolate-chip cookies, perfected by
342
Lisa, Carolyn and Harold’s oldest daughter. “When she was 11 or 12 years old, my husband and I would lie in bed and hear the sound of the mixer going all night,” Carolyn describes, imitating the grinding sound of the blades stirring the batter. “And we’d wake up in the morning and there would be sheets and sheets of chocolate-chip cookies everywhere. It was just in her: Lisa was always a baker, and she always had a tremendous skill.” The cookies also became an instant hit, and are now even a successful wholesale business. Lisa shrugs off her success. “Some people read books, I read cookbooks. I’ve always loved it.” If you ask Carolyn what the secret of Round Swamp’s success can be attributed to, and why they have been able to create a full-fledged market where other farm stands have failed, she ascribes it to one thing: loving what you do. “You have to have the love in it, because it is not all about the work. There has to be something in you that you are putting in there. Every job is a triple job, and it’s 24 hours a day, and it’s hard labor,” she says. But a deeper drive also resonates with Snyder and her family. “We are proud of who we are and what we represent, and we are proud of our heritage. After my dad died, I was determined to put Round Swamp on the map.” Indeed, working on land that has been in their family for nine generations, Round Swamp remains as it always was—a family affair. Barbara Lester was scooping dough for Lisa’s cookies and making cakes until her health deteriorated. Since Harold’s untimely continued on page 344

FAMILY PORTRAIT FROM LEFT: Everything sold at Round Swamp is fresh from the ground and wholesome, without added preservatives. BELOW: Carolyn in the fields with daughter Lisa when she was a child.
“We were so poor, I had to pay my sister in rolls of pennies.”
Upon being regularly asked about who contributes what to the market, Carolyn has come up with an explanatory delineation: “I describe them like this: Lisa is Martha Stewart. She’s a perfectionist, inventive, and makes things look and taste beautiful. Claire is Betty Crocker—she is precise, follows recipes, and makes delicious food. And Shelly, well, she’s Julia Child. She cooks like her, makes a mess like her, and likes red wine like her!” The younger generation is also involved. Shelly’s step-children help their father fish lobster; Claire has her kids, including Tricia Anne, who works in front; and Lisa and Charlie have four sons, all of whom contribute in some continued on page 346
PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF ROUND SWAMP FARM (LISA SNYDER)
continued from page 342 death in 2005, son-in-law and fellow fisherman Charlie Niggles (Lisa’s husband) has assumed many of his responsibilities, on the land and sea. On being asked if she sought out a fisherman for a husband because her father was one, Lisa demurs. “On the contrary, Charlie sought me out because he wanted to fish with my dad!” Carolyn smiles before contextualizing, “Fishing and farming embody what we are. Fishermen and farmers are humble men who work with their hands and labor with their hearts.” Depending on the week, Carolyn, Lisa, and Charlie rise anywhere from 2:30 to 4 in the morning to begin setting up the market, filling pies, baking savory dishes, and stocking the fish market. “Morning is the best part of the day,” Carolyn says. “When it’s quiet, and I look out the window at the farm and see the —CAROLYN SNYDER strip of green growing through the layer of fog, it’s beautiful. It’s so amazing that you can plant something in this earth and watch it grow.” Every member of the family is involved in the business. Carolyn’s sister Dianna helms the register and has her own niche baking yummy goods such as zucchini bread. Youngest sister Claire is also a baker (her famous banana nut bread was an early hit for the market). In addition, she is responsible for the cooler that houses the vegetables. “You don’t usually see me here, but I will go where needed,” Claire explains on the day I stop by and find her at the register. And Carolyn’s daughter Shelly, whose husband, Alan, provides the lobster for the store, works as a team with Lisa and is renowned for her namesake teas, lemonade, and her famous Key lime pie.

continued from page 344 capacity. Brian Niggles, Lisa’s second son, is now running the new location that recently opened on School Street in Bridgehampton. His brother Steven is a full-time police officer, but he spends every free moment helping out at the farm and repairing machinery. Another Niggles brother, Tommy, drives the truck. “I said to my kids and grandchildren they can do anything they want, but they will have to work eight days a week and 12 hours a day to succeed,” says Carolyn, whose wisdom seems to have been heeded. (Although, like all family businesses, there are the common dust-ups. Lisa jokes that some of her sons have been hired and fired several times by Carolyn and other family members.) What is unique about the Round Swamp family is their ability to move with the times, their commitment to high-quality ingredients, and, despite living on ancestral homeland, their knack for adapting to current food trends. “We keep our finger on the pulse,” Carolyn explains. “We always have.” Lisa agrees. “We try to be innovative,” she says. “In the off season, I go on tours around the country, tasting and visiting restaurants. I refuse to compromise the quality of my food. I use only the freshest ingredients and I inspect every single berry. Some people would say I am crazy to pay $4.50 for eggs that I’m using to cook with, or pay top dollar for berries in my muffins, but I won’t compromise.” “Doctors send patients to us,” adds Carolyn, “because our food is healthy with no preservatives.” “We stand by our food,” says Lisa. “And we all labor here,” Carolyn says. “With love.” H

“Y
ou can’t have an intelligent conversation about the swimming pool without discussing outdoor dining, entertaining, and the client’s preferences for exercise,” says Pristine Pools owner Greg Darvin, whose holistic approach to luxury pool design has led to an impressive portfolio on the East End. His company recently completed an oversize pool on Atlantic Avenue that boasts a 60-foot-long lap lane, attached spa, and beach entrance. The surrounding patio was finished in white limestone, rather than dark paving stones, for its softer color, a trend that Darvin says is on the rise. “Limestone won’t get hot in the sun and is a great departure from the more traditional bluestone.” Upcoming projects include a rooftop stainless steel pool in Sag Harbor that will service new luxury condominiums on West Water Street. East Hampton, 324-8240; swimpristinepools.com
“I was looking for lamps that were sophisticated and sculptural,” says Kimille Taylor of the inspiration behind her popular lamp line. “The Cubist shapes came to me during my yoga practice one day. I grabbed my sketchbook and brought them to life.” Taylor chose natural and ebonized cerused oak for the bodies of the lamps, but the designing didn’t stop there. “Every detail is significant: The finial, the cord, and the harp should be as beautiful as the lamp itself,” she says. “The cerused veneer is hand-cut and handapplied, so while the shape stays the same, no two pieces of wood are alike.” 917-361-3058; kimilletaylor.com

W
ith its whitewashed walls, exposed beams, and sun-soaked, wide-plank floors, West Elm’s new store in Water Mill looks more like a stylish Montauk beach house than one of 58 stores in the global company’s collection. But to West Elm Creative Director Vanessa Holden, it makes perfect sense that the brand blends so seamlessly with its surroundings. “The Hamptons is all about ease and good living in a beautiful, relaxed setting, and so are we,” she says. West Elm moved into its 7,120-square-foot location in early June, joining SoulCycle and Steven Alan in the Water Mill Shoppes. Everything in the store pays homage to the beach lifestyle, from its natural, laid-back aesthetic down to the details. “It’s like the perfect little beach shack!” Holden says. Sara Gilbane of Sara Gilbane Interiors says the shop is a great addition to the Hamptons. “West Elm pieces have a sense of whimsy and playfulness that are important to feel in a house by the sea,” she says. continued on page 354

An outdoor patio plays host to the rustic Jardine driftwood-finish bistro table and Huron Collection furniture, which, according to Holden, has developed a cult following. The design team kept the Hamptons clientele in mind when curating items for the shop. “Our customers are creative and bold in their homes and have their own sense of style,” she says. “That’s the Hamptons to a T.” When it came to transforming the former grocery store in to a space for home décor, the team opted to work with the existing surroundings. “Instead of taking down the walls, we built right into them,” Holden says. “We embraced and reused everything from the old wine crates to a repainted produce sign.” The Hamptons’ relationship to the sea played muse to the many installations that are unique to the space: dock cleat fixtures, knotted rope, naval flag bunting, and dip-dyed macramé fishnet lend a nautical touch to the store. A surfboard emblazoned with the company’s logo hangs above the cash register, while outside, two aptly named Montauk chairs beckon customers to take a seat. continued on page 356

continued from page 354 Hamptonites with heavy entertaining schedules will enjoy the large selection of gift-worthy items, like pom-pom throws, handstamped tile-print serving pieces, and cheeky animal melamine plates. “The season is about getting together to celebrate, and we’ve designed pieces that are great for a casual cocktail or a styled evening soirĂŠe,â€? notes Holden. The creative director is personally drawn to the brand’s shimmering Capiz pieces: chandeliers, lighting, wall art, and frames that were handcrafted in the Philippines. “It’s an amazing process,â€? she says. “Artisans on the islands harvest pearl oysters, separating the layers of each shell by hand, then cutting the shell to the desired shape and setting it in the final piece. The results are beautiful and really make the most of summer light.â€? Other favorites from this season include vertical hanging planters for small spaces and mosaic bistro tables, which come in an array of vibrant colors. Gilbane thinks the new Water Mill store will inspire fresh, innovative design in Hamptons homes. “I mix many of their pieces in to my interiors in the Hamptons, and the pieces fit seamlessly with both traditional and modern design,â€? she says. Throughout her 10 years of visiting the Hamptons, Holden has come to understand and appreciate the unique feel of each East End town, a skill she doubtlessly called upon when designing the new store. “I love that each enclave has its own distinctive personality and every trip is a discovery,â€? she says. “The Hamptons is a heaven just hours away from the city, and I’ll be getting out East as much as I can!â€? 760 Montauk Hwy., Water Mill, 726-6017; westelm.com H

nature doesn’t need people. people need nature. Human beings are part of nature. Nature is not dependent on human beings to exist. Human beings, on the other hand, are totally dependent on nature to exist. The growing number of people on the planet and how we live here is going to determine the future of nature. And the future of us. Nature will go on, no matter what. It will evolve. The question is will it be with us or without us. If nature could talk, it would probably say it doesn’t much matter either way. We must understand there are aspects of how our planet evolves that are totally out of our control.

But there are things that we can manage, control and do responsibly that will allow us and the planet to evolve together.
We are Conservation International and we need your help. Our ovement is dedicated to managing those things we can control. Better. Country by country. Business by business. Human by human. We are not about us vs. them. It doesn’t matter if you’re an American, a Canadian, or a Papua New Guinean. You don’t even have to be particularly fond of the ocean or have a soft spot for elephants. This is simply about all of us coming together to do what needs to be done. Because if we don’t, nature will continue to evolve. Without us. Here’s to the future. With humans.

Modern Appeal H
orizontal structures of steel and double-story glass panels are rapidly replacing wood shingles and gabled roofs here on the East End. In recent years, more people who are building from scratch or renovating their vacation homes choose modern architecture over the traditional Hamptons-barn style, in part because the virtually invisible structure and simplicity of a modern house can make it seem to disappear into the woods or to float above the ocean. “When the features of the landscape are strong, you want them to be part of your interiors,” says Pablo Jendretzki of Jendretzki LLC (860 West End

painting the interior walls one neutral color throughout. The choices for furniture and fabrics always go hand in hand with the architecture and exteriors. Tamara Magel (33 Oakland Ave., Sag Harbor, 917-628-0868; tamaramagel.com), an interior designer with locations in Soho and East Hampton, brings the colors from outside into the upholstery fabrics and rugs. She says she also uses grasscloth wallpaper “to be more in line with nature.” Recently, Magel used sofas and pillows with classic lines on a project, but added unexpected touches like a vintage Hans Wegner chaise and modern ’60s lighting. “Above all,” Magel says, “a beach house is about being comfortable in nature; that’s what we escape the city for.” H

continued from page 360 hybrid style. The latter approach is a compromise between prevailing Hamptons aesthetics and more open layouts—a cross between pitchedroof barns and fishbowl-style homes. For young clients, energy efficiency and sustainability are also key. Two popular features are climate remote controls and recycled materials. “We never use exotic stone or wood shipped from abroad or California,” Quinn says. “Everything is locally sourced, even the subcontractors.” Despite its appeal among younger consumers, modern architecture— perhaps due to its avant-garde roots, which create a museumlike quality—lends itself to the idea that it can be cost-prohibitive. “There is a misconception that modern is more expensive than traditional architecture,” Jendretzki says. “But intelligent design, based on the simplification of details, isn’t just contemporary, it can actually be less costly.” If you are not yet ready to channel Richard Neutra, there are elements that can be easily changed to modernize a classic house. On a recent project in Sag Harbor, Jendretzki replaced two small kitchen windows on the second floor with a large glass panel occupying the entire gable. The effect makes you feel like you are cooking in a tree house amid a leafy canopy. “The point is to blur the limit between inside and outside,” he says. If opening windows is not possible, Jendretzki likes horizontal cedar slats instead of shingles for the exterior walls. “Cedar blends in with tree and sand textures, and long, narrow horizontal slats add a modern touch.” Many old houses use too many materials and can be made more contemporary by streamlining to one kind of flooring and kitchen counters, or by

here’s truly no such thing as a bad table at The Seawater Grill, the newly redesigned restaurant at Gurney’s Montauk Resort, first opened in 1926. Each one of the 175 seats inside the eatery now boasts unobstructed panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Designer Michael Kramer opted for a minimalist, modern aesthetic with no window coverings, making the sea the focal point and ensuring sunsets can be enjoyed in all their splendor. The brand-new Arteriors chandeliers cast a warm, calm glow over the dining room. But just because they redid the restaurant doesn’t mean tradition has been tossed aside. Kramer used original wood from the resort’s Forward Watch building, constructed in the 1960s, on the back of the bar, the booths, and the columns in a herringbone design. “It gives

A Private World WE TOUR THREE VENERATED HAMPTONS GARDENS THAT RECENTLY OPENED THEIR GATES TO PARRISH ART MUSEUM SUPPORTERS. BY JAMEE GREGORY PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STRIFFLER
O
ne of the best ways to study gardens is by visiting extraordinary ones, such as those welcoming supporters of the Parrish Art Museum’s (279 Montauk Hwy., Water Mill, 2832118; parrishart.org) annual “Landscape Pleasures” program. Private gates burst open for one day last month, inviting participants to stroll through exceptional estates at their leisure. This year’s tour included three spectacular creations that inspired not only novices but also jaded garden junkies. During a gardening lecture seminar held at the museum, a theme emerged: “The Un-Finished Garden.” This idea should comfort every greenthumb wannabe—the realization that a garden is
372
not static, but a living, breathing artwork, constantly changing, responding to the whims of nature as well as to its designer. Last winter’s frost, the cool spring, and the continuous turnover of Hamptons estates create an ever-changing environment. Plants may be called perennials, but heavy rains, salt spray, and deer often play havoc. Here, we look at some of the homes whose gardens exemplify the dynamic quality of landscaping.
Westerly The legendary Southampton 10-acre estate on Ox Pasture Road, now owned by designer Tory Burch, is an example of changing tastes. Built in 1929, the
estate was designed by Hiss & Weekes. The gardens are an Annette Hoyt Flanders original design, based on on a strong cross axis, surrounded by a series of outdoor rooms. The landscape evolved in the hands of its various owners over the past 85 years. Armed with happy memories of the estate, it was wonderful for me to observe Tory’s serene vision of the home; it respects the past, but moves forward. With the help of landscape designer Perry Guillot, the property lines are streamlined and clarified, creating a perfect background for entertaining and enjoying a large family. The choice of plant materials has been continued on page 374

continued from page 372 simplified, creating a peaceful expanse, defined by boxwood, yew, a rhododendron. Guillot began with some “housekeeping,” caring for failing trees, establishing a new property line, finding early photos of the original gardens, creating space for entertaining, building a new pool beside the original 70-year-old lattice and rose-covered pavilion, restoring the classic green-park landscape, bringing its elements back to health for an athletic family. “Tory fell in love with the history of the house, but also wanted a basketball court for her boys, a hot tub, and a shaded space for poolside lunches,” he says. The large boxwood-lined formal sunken garden is no longer filled with a potpourri of species and colors. Harmony reigns, creating a youthful vision, a background for the outdoor terrace, pool house, and tennis court, uniting the property in bold strokes. Guillot worked in tandem with the property’s head gardener, who has cared for the grounds over 25 years, maintaining the spirit of the original Georgian Revival mansion, a testimony to the advantages of treasuring the past while moving forward.
Little Orchard Joan and Bernard Carl are the thoughtful owners of this eight-acre Southampton estate on Coopers Neck Lane. The estate dates back to 1913, and the gardens were originally designed by
374
Innocenti & Webel, a landscape architecture firm based in Locust Valley, New York. They were updated by the same firm in the late 1950s. When the Carls bought the historic estate more than 20 years ago, “several giant trees had been neglected for years and were terribly overgrown,” Joan says. “Like a painter, I studied proportion, color, and foundation. We unearthed original designs as well as a 1950s plan that informed our effort.” Joan worked side by side with her mother, the late Mary Beryl Patch Turnbull, who was president of The Garden Club of Montclair, to research and enhance plans, modify designs, and leave their personal mark—as committed gardeners always do. “We were inspired by the white gardens at Sissinghurst,” she says. The two preserved more than 20 rare specimen trees, some allegedly shipwrecked en route to the landscaping firm Olmsted and Vaux, destined for Central Park in the mid-1800s. They restored the orchard, respected the classical four-quadrant 1920s planting backed by boxwood, adopted roses from the legendary garden of David Dawn, filled the scene with statuary, returned the lawn to a majestic sweep of green, rebuilt and restocked the koi pond, replanted the elaborate cutting garden, created a secret garden of ferns, trained roses over a tea house, turned on fountains to incorporate water with its noise and motion, and continued on page 376
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
Joan and Bernard Carl’s garden offers many spots for relaxation and contemplation. This bench, approached via an allée of trees, draws the eye to a peaceful destination; rhododendrons in full bloom provide color and texture; water fountains add life and sophistication to the Carl garden.

GARDEN CLUB CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: The Sullivan terrace, dotted with Italianate urns, faces the swimming pool and a well-defined garden, rimmed with clipped box hedges; white dahlias turn toward the sun in the Sullivan garden; a “poetry pot,” designed by Madoo’s creator, Robert Dash, occupies center stage.
continued from page 374 set lovely benches across the property to provide spots for perching, reflecting, and observing. Joan says, “A garden is always changing. It is a challenge. We lost trees this winter, a sad fact, like missing a good friend, but that’s nature for you. It forces us to look at space differently and opens new vistas. A garden should always be unfinished, adding to its own vocabulary. I really like seeing things grow over structures. Dead trees expose root and branch structure, encouraging me to design woodland gardens.”
In this house, the past melds seamlessly with the present. A future wedding is being planned in the garden. “We use plants we love, lots of perennials in our favorite, soft palette,” she says. “Although, we can make mistakes. For example, using hot pink instead of pastel, or ordering a dwarf buddleia that grew to giant proportions. But we find places for everything. We love looking out on Coopers Neck Pond and creating vistas, along with a lily pond. I love hearing water and seeing it flow. When David Dawn’s roses arrived they had no IDs,” she adds. “We just stuck them in the ground. They came up in multicolored profusion. I fell in love and decided to leave them. My cutting garden is perfectly organized, but sometimes a random act creates something beautiful.” This fantastic garden, perhaps Southampton’s most beautiful, is the result of acts of rescue, redemption, and serendipity, a testament to informed change.
Sullivan Gardens The gardens of Marge and Peter Sullivan are far from frozen. When Peter wanted to rebuild their Southampton house on Wyandanch Lane, Marge,
a serious horticulturist, was not sure about moving her beloved plants. In the end, she found homes for the trees and flowers she treasured and created a stunning garden around their new Italianate Palladian villa, with the help of landscape designers Elizabeth Lear and Brian Mahoney. A desire to create a happy new garden began with an entrance courtyard, terraces, and an axial structure for indoor-outdoor living. Marge wanted a garden off the master bedroom, which boasts an amusing sculpture of a spitting Irish green man. She envisioned a formal parterre with one color in each section, but that is not how it turned out. Instead, her garden features many colors and varieties of plant material collected over the years, creating a rich tapestry. She also installed a wonderful labyrinth, using paving stones from her former driveway, encircling a “poetry pot,” a terra-cotta urn inscribed with poetry, designed by the late Robert Dash, creator of The Madoo Conservancy, which is also on the tour. She is now creating a butterfly garden with milkweed, perovskia, and buddleia, always imagining another joyful area on her ever-evolving property. H

Summer Sprouts THE REWARD OF HAVING A VEGETABLE GARDEN OR POTAGER IS NOT JUST THE FOOD IT PROVIDES, BUT HOW IT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER. BY PAULA DE LA CRUZ
“F
amily participation is the most important element I consider when designing a vegetable garden,” says Jeff Negron, a prominent garden designer focusing primarily on installing and maintaining kitchen gardens in East Hampton. During the 2008 recession, Negron embraced the vegetable garden niche when people stopped investing in flowers and trees for decorative purposes. He started distributing flyers around East Hampton and got two commissions to design small kitchen gardens, arriving by bicycle at first, then in his truck. Then he met Colin Ambrose, the owner of Estia’s Little Kitchen restaurant, and planted the garden that produces the fresh, delicious vegetables
and greens for which the Sag Harbor restaurant is known. Since humans first domesticated grains circa 10,000 BC, communities have been organized around farms. As urban centers became more sprawling and densely populated, people lost touch with eating according to the seasons. As the farm-to-table movement has picked up momentum, more and more people are planting their own crop-producing plots. The difference in flavor—which could be translated as nutritional quality—of homegrown vegetables compared to supermarket ones is substantial, plus they add a bit of nature to our cement-laden lives. continued on page 380

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
Medicinal and ornamental agaves planted with succulents give the garden an untraditional look; Jeff Negron takes notes on performance and scheduling needs for a late-summer planting; typical bounty from a late-summer harvest. The multicolored “Rainbow” carrots are a big hit with the kids; seeding in globe amaranths in the late spring proves rewarding for latesummer cutting.
“People are always surprised at first by how much food they can grow in a small plot.”
continued from page 378 This year, Garden Media Group says that more than 47 million Americans are planning to grow edibles, with 65 percent of garden budgets dedicated to installing and maintaining a kitchen garden. If you can start a vegetable garden, “find a spot near the kitchen,” says Negron, “and plant the plot in a north-south facing direction.” Observe the patterns of sunlight in your garden and choose the site, or sites—it doesn’t have to be one large area, but
380
can be a few small patches—to ensure your vegetables get at least six hours of direct sun. Winter is a great time to research the most pest-resistant seed varieties and to start your first salad crop indoors. In places where there’s poor soil, you might want to build raised beds with about 18 inches of cultivated soil. Another raised-bed method that doesn’t require building a wood frame is straw bale beds, which are low-maintenance and weed-free. To reduce pathogens and replenish nitrogen in the soil,
rotate plants in the same family—nightshades, cabbages, carrots—to different parts of the plot, season after season. You can protect your vegetables from strong winds with a tall pea trellis, but make sure that you are not shading the row of vegetables right below. Negron removes pests by hand and never sprays crops with pesticides. Edge your kitchen garden with berry shrubs—gooseberries, raspberries, blackberries, and currants—and if space allows it, one or two espaliered apple trees. Always buy 1- or 2-year-old fruit trees that are easy to train and will adapt quickly to their new site. To ensure healthy root growth it is best to install a watering system that will soak the soil deeply. Seed-free hay and straw make great mulches and help keep the soil cool during summer months. Despite currently maintaining 11 gardens around the Hamptons, Negron still doesn’t have a crew—“just the necessary tools,” he says. “Most kitchen gardens I’ve done are smaller than a quarter acre. People are always surprised at first by how much food they can grow in a small plot.” The Growing Seed, 655-3031 H

Compound Living AS THE HAMPTONS BECOMES MORE OF A FAMILY DESTINATION, CORCORAN’S SUSAN BREITENBACH SEES THE POPULARITY OF MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES. BY MIKE OLSON
U
ltimately, it’s the dream of every buyer for multiple generations to call the same slice of the East End home. No wonder Corcoran associate real estate broker Susan Breitenbach continues to see one particular trend in today’s white-hot market. “I’ve never had so many people ask for compounds,” she says. “A lot of people buying today have kids who are having kids, so they want more space for a family retreat.” Wanting a compound is one thing, but a lack of inventory puts such spots at a particular premium. “You can’t really build a guest house on a property anymore,” adds Breitenbach, who points to the myriad zoning ordinances in certain areas, chiefly Sagaponack, that prohibit such construction. That means it’s the preexisting compounds—such as Breitenbach’s listing on Egypt Lane in East Hampton, which comes with a cozy, two-bedroom guest cottage—that draw the most interest. Still, every so often a new construction comes along that redefines what a compound can be. —SUSAN BREITENBACH Breitenbach is selling one such estate on Ocean Road in Bridgehampton, a 17-acre site that already sports one 7,000-square-foot home with a separate 2.1-acre lot next door, waiting for a home double that size. Should the buyer choose to build, the result will be two neighboring homes that share a tennis court, pool, and pool house. Naturally, those who have shown early interest have done so with extended family in mind, and Breitenbach can understand the appeal of having visiting friends or family close—but not too close. “After a few days, it’s nice to have them in that house next door,” she laughs. 1936 Montauk Hwy., Bridgehampton, 875-6000; corcoran.com

“An ultramodern home doesn’t have one detail that can be construed as traditional.”

PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHARLIE GRUBB
HAVANA COLLECTION
hen it comes to modern homes, some buyers prefer to play it safe, opting for a home with a traditional shinglestyle exterior that acts as a perfect contrast to interiors filled with high-gloss finishes and Carrera marble. In fact, Town and Country’s president and broker, Judi A. Desiderio, has one such listing just outside of the village of East Hampton. However, Desiderio is witnessing a new breed of daring buyers hitting the market—and they’re ready to turn things up a notch. “An ultramodern home doesn’t have one detail that can be construed as traditional,” Desiderio explains. As an example, she cites a seven-bedroom, 8,600-square-foot home currently for sale in Sagaponack. You won’t find a gambrel roofline here, and inside you’ll spy nothing but clean lines and glass, from the staircases to the walls overlooking the infinity pool and—in what must be a Hamptons first—a glassed-in wine room floating just beyond the dining area. Such a daring architectural choice might not play well in the centuries—JUDI A. DESIDERIO old villages of East Hampton and Southampton, but locales that aren’t weighed down by tradition are free to blaze their own trails. Desiderio sees the proof in the new construction popping up on the East End. “I’ve been doing this for 34 years, and when you start to see developers build a significant number of ultramodern homes, then you know they’re filling a niche,” she explains. “Developers don’t build multimillion-dollar homes on a lark.” And Desiderio can understand why. As she succinctly explains, ultramodern homes are “just cool.” 52 Main St., East Hampton, 324-

What is that ‘magic’ about the North Fork that evokes the desire to set roots and build memories upon your frst visit to this very special place? Donielle Cardinale shared her family’s story of loving and living on the North Fork. She comes from a long family history spanning over 70 years and fve generations of memories here. Like most, her family started of spending their summers here. In the 1940’s her Great Grandparents and Grandparents discovered a small piece of heaven in Laurel on the Peconic Bay. Tey created two homes that were shared and enjoyed with family and friends. In 1978, her parents, transformed their own beloved Nassau Point summer home, into their primary residence. Soon afer, her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins on both sides of the family followed, to make this their primary residence as well.
“Once anyone introduces their friends and family to the North Fork, they can’t help but want to be here too.” – Donielle Although Donielle has had the pleasure of enjoying family residences in HHI SC, Palm Beach FL, and Manhattan, she explains that home for her and her family has always been the North Fork. “I consider it a blessing to raise my own family here in this amazing place,” says Donielle. “Its so rare these days to have a family as connected and bonded as ours. I attribute that to the vision my great grandparents had when they bought that summer home in Laurel over 70 years ago. “Tere is something enchanting about this place. Maybe it’s the views of vineyards, horse farms, and open space on your drive out. Maybe it’s waking up to see the water from your bedroom window, or watching the Sunset over Long Island Sound as you sip a glass of wine, before you head out to dine in one of the many wonderful restaurants serving fresh seafood from our local waters and produce from a variety of North Fork farm stands. You fnd yourself in a completely diferent world of peace and paradise, only 90 minutes away from the City.”

“My father grew up spending summer days on the Peconic Bay boating and swimming with all of his cousins, creating bonds, and now I watch my own children sharing laughs and building those bonds and memories with their cousins in that same way.” – Donielle

THE HAMPTONS’ FINEST
The New Garden Variety STROLL THE LAWNS AND HALLS OF SIX IMPRESSIVE EAST END PROPERTIES WITH THE WESTHAMPTON GARDEN CLUB. BY ROSIE PURDY
“I
remember going on these tours before I was a member of the club,” says the Westhampton Garden Club’s president, Sally McGrath. “They always had the best houses—ones that made you want to go behind the hedges, but they weren’t always accessible.” Hamptonites will have the chance to “go behind the hedges” on Friday, July 11, between 10 AM and 3 PM, when six private properties open their gates for the Westhampton Garden Club’s biennial House & Garden Tour. Among this year’s roster of homes is a refurbished barn, a restored carriage house, and a stately brick Tudor, each complemented by a unique garden. “They all have a character of their own, which makes it really special,” McGrath says. The Tudor estate was once owned by a skilled botanist, as evidenced by the garden’s vast collection of rare specimen
trees. Its pavilion will house a boutique where guests can buy gardening items to benefit the club. Visitors on the self-guided tour can also listen to live piano music, view antique cars, sip refreshments, and watch as artists paint the various landscapes en plein air. For an additional fee, tour participants can attend a luncheon at the recently renovated Quogue Club at Hallock House. Proceeds from the House & Garden Tour will support five public gardens in Quogue and Westhampton Beach as well as provide one Westhampton Beach High School senior interested in the botanical field with a $500 college scholarship. “This is one way the public can make our villages sparkle,” McGrath says. Tickets can be bought online or during tour hours at the Quogue Library, 90 Quogue St., Quogue. Call 208-7713 for info; westhamptongardenclub.org. H

Summertime Sipping THESE EAST END WATERING HOLES PAIR SCENIC VIEWS WITH BRIGHT FLAVORS. BY ERIN RILEY
Finale East Hampton
Many consider the views from the rustic deck of The Crow’s Nest restaurant the best on the East End. From simple classics like The Summer Rental—a refreshing mix of gin, lime, honey, and cucumber—to more elaborate medleys like The Rambler Wagon, which offsets the hearty Rhum Clement with grapefruit liqueur, each cocktail is best accompanied by sunset views over the pond. 4 Old West Lake Dr., Montauk, 668-2077; crowsnestmtk.com

Harvest on Fort Pond
Montauk Yacht Club
At sunset, the tables dotting the garden at Harvest on Fort Pond are the perfect setting for a predinner aperitif. With that in mind, the restaurant recently created The Refreshing Rosé. This cocktail mixes Provence rosé, grapefruit liqueur, and cucumber vodka. “Follow the drink with an order of oysters,” suggests beverage manager Laurel Edwards. 11 South Emery St., Montauk, 668-5574; harvestfortpond.com
Inspired by the laid-back feel of a bait-and-tackle fish shack in the Florida Keys, Hurricane Alley, the club’s indoor/outdoor dining space, offers a perfect summer reprieve. beverage director Mark Childers applies the farm-to-table mantra to his cocktails and sources local beers from Montauk Brewing Company and Blue Point Brewing Company, and Long Island wines from Lieb Cellars and Wölffer Estate Vineyard.

Group fitness classes at Tracy Anderson’s studio inspire participants to work their hardest.
Paddle Diva Several times a week, Paddle Diva, created by Gina Bradley, offers SUP Yoga classes taught by Hamptons fitness celebrity and SUP Yoga pioneer Jessica Bellofatto. “Those who take our SUP Fitness and SUP Yoga classes will feel connected to themselves and the environment. We fuse what one normally does in the indoors to the outdoors and then add that extra element of core fitness,” says Bradley. 219 Three Mile Harbor HC Road, Springs, 329-2999; paddlediva.com
SoulCycle This year SoulCycle celebrates its seventh summer in the Hamptons.
SoulCycle’s challenging, inspiring classes have secured it a cult following, complete with celebrity clients like Kelly Ripa. “It’s not simply about the body,” says senior master instructor Laurie Cole. “We are strong believers that the mind dictates how the body feels and vice versa.” This summer, SoulCycle offers Soul Summer Body classes, a new series taught like an army-style boot camp. 264 Butter Lane, Bridgehampton, 537-3630; 68 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, 324-6600; 760 Montauk Hwy., Water Mill, 324-6610; soul-cycle.com
Tracy Anderson The Tracy Anderson Method continues to evolve, even after 10 years of success. It centers on creating balance within the body. Anderson’s Water Mill location is the only one of her studios that does not include a membership.
Take advantage and sample her wide range of classes, which are available for all levels and target all muscle groups. If you’re lucky, you might take a class with Anderson herself; as a Sag Harbor resident, she holds her Water Mill studio close to her heart. 903 Montauk Hwy., Water Mill, 212-965-1408; tracyandersonmethod.com
Yoga on the Terrace Every Sunday in July and August, Ananda Wellness and Yoga Center brings its practice to the terrace of
the Parrish Art Museum. The museum’s tranquil grounds and simple architecture make it the ideal setting for the practice. Ananda owner/director and instructor Mary Angela Buffo stresses the importance of yoga, “It has transformative tools to deepen your own self-worth and your relationship with all beings,” she says. “One learns to live a life that allows us to be extraordinary.” Parrish Art Museum, 279 Montauk Hwy., Water Mill, 283-2118, parrishart.org H
