Rare 8 Acre Estate Size Vacant Parcel

In Coveted Dering Harbor

Shelter Island Heights. The charming 200-acre, seaside Village of Dering Harbor with just 35 homes has been dubbed “The Smallest Village in New York”. And in the heart of this quaint Village this 8.2-acre parcel, once part of “Oriole Farm”, the 18.8acre private arboretum and gardens of famed horticulturist Alice Fisk, has just come to market with infinite possibilities in a privileged setting. With room for a substantial house, pool, pool house and tennis court, this beautiful, mostly cleared lot, will appeal to that buyer looking for location and privacy. Unlike other areas of Shelter Island, Dering Harbor has its own municipal water source allowing for both pristine drinking water and the ability to irrigate the property. This property also will allow for a separate carriage house to shelter your prized vehicles with the ability to create legal living quarters above. There is also the perfect service entrance on the west end of the property which also shortens your walk into town. This sublime property sits across the street from Gardiner’s Bay Country Club with views of the course and its signature 4th hole and is within easy walking distance to beaches and the quaint waterfront commercial district with its multiple shops and restaurants. With easy access to both the North and South Forks as well as proximity to the shops and various restaurants that dot the 29 square mile island oasis, this singular new offering deserves your attention today. Exclusive. $3.595M WEB#915097

A Very Chill Sammy’s Beach Compound Awaits on Gardiner’s Bay at a New Attractive Price

East Hampton. The sun dips low over Sammy’s Beach, casting a fiery glow across the waters of Gardiner’s Bay. The beach, with an unspoiled sandy shoreline stretching in both directions, feels like a secret, untouched by time and spared the clamor of the world. Here, the water is a crystal-clear, Caribbean blue-so vivid it almost feels imagined-and the crowds, blessedly, are nowhere to be found. And on this quiet peninsula, with expansive water and sunset views, lies a rare opportunity to have one of the most amazing vistas in a unique setting in the Hamptons at an attractive new price. The years have seen thoughtful renovations that nod to the past while embracing the present. The main cottage stands as the heart of the property-two bedrooms both with dedicated baths, await inside, along with a great room that feels expansive and welcoming, its open-plan design flowing into a chef’s kitchen built for both practicality and pleasure. The expansive glass doors bring the vast liquid backdrop right into the abode. The magic continues when you step outside where the waterside deck stretches out, as if daring you to sit, to relax, to take in the endless horizon where in your view, the water, like the hands of a clock, reaches out to Shelter Island, the North Fork, Connecticut, Plum Island and Gardiner’s Island. Lounge chairs, a sectional settee, and a banquet dining table are all perfectly placed, designed to help you soak in the sunsets-each one more stunning than the last, each one a reminder that this is a place apart from the rush of life. Just across the manicured lawn, where there’s room enough for games, gatherings, or quiet fireside moments, stands the second cottage. It too, is fully legal, with two additional bedrooms-ideal for guests or extended family, a place where privacy meets proximity. In addition, it is a proven income producing rental. Each house comes with an outdoor shower to wash away the day’s activities. And for those seeking more, there is deeded access to Three Mile Harbor just across the street providing an opportunity to moor one’s boat for water skiing or other aquatic activities. This is not just a place to visit, but a place to live, a place where you can breathe in the salty air and hear nothing but the familiar call of seagulls along with the gentle lap of waves. This is not just a beach house; it is a legacy, a rare find where nature meets a feeling of genuine chill, and the sunsets promise a beauty that is, simply, unparalleled.

12 Acre North Fork Soundfront Permits In Place On Each 6 Acre Lot

North Fork | East Marion. You remember the feeling. You’re on holiday on the coast of some Caribbean isle or on the cliff of a European town overlooking the Mediterranean. Each morning when your head leaves the pillow you know you are on vacation with broad expanses of water dotted with boats and vistas of other shores. Much closer to home, only 100 miles from Manhattan, you can recreate that feeling each and every day when you develop this very private, nearly 12 acre waterfront, meadow-like parcel composed of two 5.7 acres lots spanning 350’ along the North Fork’s Long Island Sound. With all permitting work done on each lot, a savvy buyer would save hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of waiting to begin construction of a significant house, waterside pool, tennis court and even a guest house for those who would undoubtedly flock to help you enjoy your grand, new estate. The low, but stable bluff, provides easy access down a gentle pebbled path to the beach from where you’ll enjoy an abundance of aquatic activities while conversation and laughter will resound around the inevitable nighttime beach fires. The property affords ample opportunity to create your own vineyard, apple orchard or a field of wildflowers through which your driveway will meander right to your front door. Only a few miles from both the ferries of Greenport and Orient Point, this well positioned property provides easy access to everything that has made the North Fork the new sought after destination. At night, go into town for dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants overlooking Shelter Island or head to one of the many vineyards for a wine tasting. But on clear evenings, eat early as you might want to get back for some of the most beautiful sunsets anywhere, as the sun seems to disappear somewhere into the Sound leaving the horizon a purplish haze. Best of all, you won’t need a passport, a pat down or a plane ticket. Just get in your car and head East. When you get there, you’ll know...and remember.

Good News Gossip About Our Notable Friends and Neighbors. BY DAWN

HIFF, HIFF HURRAH!

Shouting out a big-time bravo for Montauk’s Liev Schreiber, who will be honored as the Dick Cavett Artistic Champion Award recipient at the 32nd annual Hamptons International Film Festival. Welldeserved sir!

Schreiber, who has lent his name and time to a number of East End charities and other worthy organizations, joins a distinguished list of former recipients, including Mr. Cavett, Mariska Hargitay, Toni Ross, and Alan Alda. The award honors those in the creative arts who not only succeed in their field but also support the arts and artists, in other fields, such as education, related media and other arts disciplines.

Schreiber is currently starring in The Perfect Couple, a limited series on Netflix alongside Nicole Kidman, Eve Hewson, Dakota Fanning, Megahann Fahy and Sam Nivola, whose family owns property in Springs. That fun thriller, based on a novel by Elin Hilderbrand, is set on Nantucket, but it could easily be here out east. Coming up, he’ll star in Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing. That film is about a burned-out former baseball player who gets ensnared in the criminal underworld in 1990s New York City.

A GOOD THING

HIFF opens this year with R.J. Cutler’s Martha Can’t wait for that one! Deemed the definitive documentary on Martha Stewart, the film dives

deep — from the former East Hampton resident’s early start on Wall Street to her ongoing reinventions during several decades in the spotlight — and even features candid interviews with the icon herself. Even better, both Stewart and Cutler are scheduled to attend the festival this year and participate in a post-screening talkback.

Whilst on the subject of HIFF, we’ve just got to mention that the Views From Long Island program this year will highlight IFC Films’ Christmas Eve in Millers Point, which was set and shot in Suffolk County. The feature film, which was directed by Tyler Taormina and stars Michael Cera, Matilda Fleming, and Francesca Scorsese, is about a family’s potential final gathering at their ancestral home.

EVIL EYE?

Speaking of finality, East End regular Richard Kind guest stars as a potential killer in the fourth season of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building. Playing an Arconia “Western Tower” resident, Stink-Eye Pete, he joins series regulars Steven Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as they try to unravel who killed beloved stunt double Saaz, played by Jane Lynch.

Even as a might-be murderer, who doesn’t love Richard Kind? I mean really. Can’t wait to see whodunnit this season!

DRAMA MAMA

Though she’s not technically an East Ender, we just have to give some props to Winona Ryder — who

WATSON

stars in the Montauk Project-inspired Stranger Things and also in the long-awaiting Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!

This latest iteration of the classic film, 30 years after the original, returns the Deetz family to Winter River after an unexpected family tragedy. Ryder, who reprises her role as Lydia, discovers that having a teenage daughter can be just as emotional as being someone’s teenage daughter. Surprise.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice also stars Michael Keaton in the titular role, Jenna Ortega as Lydia’s daughter, Monica Bellucci, Willem Dafoe, Danny DeVito, Justin Theroux, and Catherine O’Hara

SPOOKY STORIES

Sag Harbor’s R.L. Stine has done it again! His newest creepy crawler is out it’s got us shook! Now in bookstores, Spinetinglers 3: More Chilling Stories From the Master Of Scary Tales is a collection of short stories for kids ages 8 to 12 who love horror. Huzzah to Stine, whose super popular Goosebumps series has sold more than 400 million copies worldwide. The prolific author has written more than 300 books.

GOOD DEEDS

Lastly, shout out to East Hampton’s Jon Bon Jovi, who literally saved someone’s life last month. The rocker, who was filming a music video in Nashville, noticed a woman who appeared to be in distress on a bridge overlooking the Cumberland River. The JBJ Soul Foundation founder, who has received crisis training through that organization, ended up talking her off the ledge. Well done!

REALTY CHECK

Hot sales and listings...along with the latest real estate news in the Hamptons.

BY KAREN DASH

Happy Columbus Day! As we head into fall, let’s take a look at the rental season that was and get a handle on the current market. The New York Post trumpeted that “Summering in the Hamptons is dead: budding influencers are trying to outdo each other vacation-hopping” to Europe and farther afield. Funnily enough, traffic in the Hamptons was heavier than ever this summer - so much for the opinions of influencers!

Reading down, the Post’s point, which is nothing new, is that it’s hard for younger people to afford, in time or money, an entire summer’s rent. This has meant some disappointment for many landlords, as they prefer to rent all summer and strict laws about short term rentals can make that option unfeasible. Pandemic-era pricing for rentals is also gone. Many properties purchased during the Covid era were being offered as rentals, creating a glut in the market.

East End agents are very optimistic about upcoming sales this fall, as more properties hit the market. In the first six months of this year,

brokers closed 679 deals, a 57% increase over the first six months of 2023. And if interest rates are cut by the Fed, agents predict a sales frenzy.

GIN LANE WITH PROVENANCE

Several interesting new properties have hit the market recently. On Gin Lane, the home once occupied by late pop artist Roy Lichtenstein and wife Dorothy has listed for $20 million. Roy passed away in 1997, while Dorothy, donator of hundreds of works of art of her husband’s, died this past July. Roy said regarding the house, purchased in 1970, “We came for several summers, and one fall just didn’t leave.”

The former carriage house, with a deeded path to the beach, was built about 1910 in the former “Meadow Beach” estate, which once included ten oceanfront acres. Today, the property includes a generous 1.93 acres, along with the house, which was of course renovated over the years, and Roy’s painting studio.

The Southampton classic summer house sports

three levels (which can not be built in the village any more), as well as five bedrooms and six bathrooms in 5,825 sq.ft., surrounded by beautiful, lush gardens with hostas and specimen trees. There’s room for a pool, too. Interested? Get on the horn to Harald Grant, Bruce Grant, and Caitlin Walsh of Sotheby’s International Realty, or Tim Davis of The Corcoran Group, the co-exclusive brokers representing this amazing property.

WAS IT SOMETHING WE SAID?

Seven months after listing, the Water Mill home of Rick and Kathy Hilton has gone into contract. Yes, the hotel Hiltons, the Real Housewives Hiltons, parents of socialites Paris and Nicky. Those Hiltons. Located in the Fordune enclave, the 2.7 acre property was originally asking $14.95 million; the Hiltons then chopped $4 million off the ask for a price of $10.99 million. Of course, we don’t know what the final price will be until closing. The Hiltons paid $2.38 million for the place in 1999. Jared Seligman at The Corcoran Group is the selling agent.

Gin Lane With Provenance Presented by Sotheby’s International Realty & The Corcoran Group

Built in 1992, the house’s interiors definitely date from the 90s, despite a 2018 refresh. Whether or not the new owners will demolish and build new will be interesting to see.

The Hilton clan has spent less and less time at the house ever since mostly decamping to the West Coast in the past 20 years, though Nicky, married to James Rothschild, has her own place in Southampton.

The 10,500-square foot home includes six bedrooms and seven and a half baths. There are three woodburning fireplaces and a finished lower level. Outside features a pool, outdoor dining and terraces to make the most of the summer, as well as a three-car garage and a porte cochere. Best of all, the property includes deeded access to nearby Fowlers Beach.

BETHENNY FRANKEL LISTS IN BRIDGEHAMPTON

Reality TV alum and businessperson Bethenny Frankel has just listed her long time home with Douglas Elliman agents Noble Black and Erica Grossman. Asking $5,995,000, this charming compound property features a main house, guest cottage, 40 acres of open fields, and a backyard oasis, complete with pool, spa, pool house, outdoor kitchen, and meticulously landscaped gardens.

Frankel, the celebrated television personality, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and author, purchased

the compound estate over a decade ago and extensively and lovingly remodeled the home. Recently renovated, the main house offers expansive views and abundant natural light. A newly renovated chef’s kitchen features custom millwork, high-end finishes, and appliances, while the living room seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living spaces.

ALL SINGING, ALL DANCING

Another new listing also offers interesting owners and a fab location. Dancing Oaks, as the house is known, belongs to Stewart Lane, a Broadway producer who has won six Tony Awards. Lane, best known for La Cage aux Folles, The Will Rogers Follies and A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, purchased the property in 2002 for $2.625 million.

Dancing Oaks located on the Grace Estate in Northwest East Hampton, which includes 623 acres of protected beachfront, forest, and tidal and freshwater wetlands. The Sotheby’s listing points out that “In 1985, East Hampton Town embarked

Was It Something We Said? Presented by Jared Seligman of The Corcoran Group

on one of the most successful land preservation acts in the northeast. …only 100 acres [were] allowed for only 30 building parcels and the remaining 500 acres remain as a protected nature preserve. The Grace Estate historical and ecological importance is a success story as to how acres of land can be planned and protected for future generations.”

The house, built in 2000, is asking $12 million via Catherine Debackere at Sotheby’s. The 8,500 square foot stucco house includes eight and eightand-a-half bathrooms, including a luxurious primary suite. The owners’ suite features a sitting room with a gas fireplace, a walk-in closet and its own terrace, while the bathroom features a large jacuzzi tub and a double shower stall with six shower heads and spray features. The four acres of land include a tennis court and a fabulous pool. It’s in the pond style and includes fountains and a double waterfall.

CH-CH-CHANGES

Kelly Canavan has assumed the role of full time brokerage manager at Sotheby’s International Realty – Hamptons Brokerages. Through a collaborative senior management partnership, Kelly and Nanette Hansen will strategically colead three Hamptons offices (Bridgehampton, East Hampton, and Southampton).

Kelly joins Sotheby’s with an extensive background in real estate law. Most recently, she was a partner at her own Hamptons based firm, Canavan Law Group, where she led the practice, representing buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants, brokers and developers, architects, contractors, and business owners with all aspects of residential and commercial real estate. Prior, she was an attorney with a premier law firm on Long Island.

“I said yes to Sotheby’s International Realty when Nanette Hansen approached me to be a comanager with her. I had known Nanette for years,

first on the tennis court (she is an incredible tennis player) and as an attorney closing her deals when she worked as an agent. The prospect of working together was exciting and a new chapter for me after 33 years of practicing law. Sotheby’s International Realty is a brand with global reach and even more importantly, our agents are not only knowledgeable, but deeply embedded in our local Hamptons community. We have an incredible and dynamic team which I am grateful to be a part of,” said Canavan.

HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

OcTOBER 4-14 / 2024

The Hamptons International Film Festival Returns for its 32nd year.

BY ALICE PHILLIPS

The Hamptons International Film Festival takes place annually in October, with a number of additional events held year round in New York City and the Hamptons. Named one of MovieMaker Magazine’s 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World as well as one of 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee, HIFF is the premier film event on New York State’s East End, and an intimate showcase of some of the year’s best offerings in contemporary cinema. Recently referred to as “Telluride East” by Variety, the publication cited HIFF as “one of America’s most glamorous displays of the best in cutting-

edge cinema.” Festival selections continue to play an important role during awards season, with a significant number of titles highlighted every year at the Academy Awards. Films featured at the 2023 Festival received 43 Academy Award nominations, and overall, films in the last 14 editions have received a total of 571 Oscar nominations.

The festival draws national film industry attendees, including representatives from a wide array of film and media companies, a range of journalists including the film trades, Academy Award bloggers, local publications as well as national journalists and New York based press. The festival hosts multiple competitions focused specifically on early-career filmmakers, in the hopes of bolstering their work at an important juncture and helping develop a discussion around their films, both within the film community and beyond. With prizes of cash and in kind goods and services valued at more than $130,000, HIFF continues to support the artists that create some of the best films each year.

The festival also features four signature programs: Films of Conflict & Resolution; Compassion, Justice & Animal Rights; Air, Land & Sea; and Views From Long Island. HIFF partners with numerous international and national organizations, including an educational initiative with the United Nations, a long-standing partnership with the

New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC), who serve on the jury and moderate Q&As, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which attracts many big names from the film and cinema industry. Film critics are also in attendance at the festival each year, including from The New York Film Critics Circle.

Prizes are awarded for the Best Narrative Feature, Best Documentary Feature, Best Narrative Short (Academy Award qualifier), and Best Documentary Short (Academy Award qualifier). Other awards include the Peter Macgregor Scott Memorial Award ($10,000 prize), the Brizzolara Family Foundation Award for Films of Conflict & Resolution ($5,000 cash prize), the Suffolk County Film Commission Next Exposure Grant ($3,000 cash prize), the Zelda Penzel “Giving Voice to the Voiceless” Award ($2,500 cash prize), the Victor Rabinowitz & Joanne Grant Award for Social Justice ($2,000 cash prize), the New York Women in Film & Television Awards for Excellence

in Narrative Filmmaking and Documentary Filmmaking (each, $1,000 cash prize), and the University Film Awards (various cash awards).

This year’ Festival – the 32nd – kicks off on Friday, October 4. Passes and packages for the festival, which runs through October 14, went on sale September 4; individual screening tickets go on sale September 21 (for HIFF members) and September 23 (for non-members). For additional

The festival has also shared the poster art for the 2024 festival, continuing the 32-year tradition of featuring artwork from local artists. This year’s poster features the work of acclaimed artist Mary Heilmann’s 2014 piece “Maricopa Highway.”

The year’s presenting sponsor is the Artemis Rising Foundation, which has a mandate for the support of media, film, and education challenging the status quo and transforming culture. It champions powerful stories about important social justice issues like mental health, trauma recovery, addiction, sustainability and personal empowerment. Other sponsors include UBS, Audi, law firm King & Spaulding, Sotheby’s, Variety magazine, Netflix and Silvercup Studios. New to Festival sponsorship are Naturopathica, Assemble Media and Dragon Hemp. Favorite Hamptons wining and dining spots have joined the sponsor list as well, including Nick & Toni’s, Serafina East Hampton, Il Buco al Mare, Rowdy Hall and Wölffer Estate Vineyards.

While the entire HIFF film guide will not be available until mid-September, the following is a preliminary list of featured films scheduled to premiere at the festival:

MARTHA. HIFF32 Opening Night Film on Friday, October 4 will be the East Coast premiere of documentary feature MARTHA, profiling American businesswoman and lifestyle personality Martha Stewart.

Stewart and Cutler are both scheduled to attend the festival with the film and participate in a postscreening talkback.

NIGHTBITCH. The HIFF32 Closing Night film (screening Sunday October 13 and Monday October 14), NIGHTBITCH is a Searchlight Pictures release from writer/director Marielle Heller and starring Academy Award nominee Amy Adams and Scoot McNairy. The film follows a woman (Adams) who pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom when her new domesticity takes a surreal turn. Marielle Heller is scheduled to attend the festival and participate in a postscreening Q&A.

THE PIANO LESSON. HIFF32 Centerpiece

Film scheduled to premiere on October 5, THE PIANO LESSON is directed and co-written by Malcolm Washington, and features an ensemble cast including Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, Danielle Deadwyler, and Ray Fisher. An adaptation of August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prizewinning play of the same name, THE PIANO LESSON is the story of how a prized heirloom piano tears two siblings apart. On one side, a brother (John David Washington) plans to build the family fortune by selling it. Malcolm Washington, Danielle Deadwyler, and John David Washington are scheduled to attend and participate in a post-screening conversation about the film. At the screening, and in recognition of his feature directorial debut, Malcolm Washington will receive this year’s Breakthrough Director Award, celebrating an up-and-coming filmmaker with an uncommonly bright future.

Kalikow brought in a pair of Natuzzi couches — which together are her favorite feature in the home makeover — and placed them on a flatweave, wool and viscose carpet she had custom made in India.

When

designer Amy Kalikow’s clients became empty nesters last year, they weren’t sure what to do with their 5,400-square-foot house in Sagaponack.

BY HEATHER SENISON

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ADAM KANE MACCHIA

One option was to add an addition to the wood-shingled house, built in 2014. More space could accommodate their growing number of grandchildren but would require time and attention the couple, who spend most of the year in Florida, didn’t have to spare.

For now, they turned to Kalikow earlier this year to give their home an update that suits their new phase of life.

“They couldn’t decide whether to sell the house or add an addition but they wanted to at least, for the moment, make it feel more Hampton-y and more comfy,” Kalikow explained.

Starting with the entrance, Kalikow began by toning down the glitzy aesthetic that remained from decades past. She added a neutral, braided wool carpet topped with a custom bench, a new console and a matching wavy mirror from Dune. The bench, which resembles a set of drums stacked next to each other, is wool on the bottom and vinyl on top to resist the coming and going in a foyer.

“It’s mindful designing because they have kids,” Kalikow said. The home has an open floor plan, so Kalikow designed the kitchen, living, and dining areas cohesively.

“We just wanted to add a more modern, clean element to the kitchen and make it a little more interesting,” Kalikow said of the space. To achieve this, she swapped out the hardware on the Ciuffo Cabinetry and added new window treatments. At the island, she installed pendant lights from overhead and gave it sturdy new stools.

“They wanted something that’s comfortable because they do a lot of work from home, and safe and big enough to not worry about grandchildren tipping over,” Kalikow said of the kitchen stools she found for her clients.

Over in the living area, Kalikow brought in a pair of Natuzzi couches — which together are her favorite feature in the home makeover — and placed them on a flat-weave, wool and viscose carpet she had custom made in India. She placed a custom coffee table from Metro Interiors between them and added window treatments from The Shade Store. “We were able to create a warm and inviting space for everyone to gather together,” Kalikow said of the living room. “It’s comfortable and practical.”

Kalikow revamped two bedrooms upstairs: a guest room with a beachy vibe and the couple’s daughter’s bedroom, which was requested to be “very neutral.”

Last, Kalikow turned her attention outside. The house sits on 3 acres and has tennis courts and a gunite pool. Rather than replacing all the Restoration Hardware patio furniture, Kalikow updated it with new

upholstery and pillows. She changed out the Tuuci umbrella shades for a softer palette and added side tables and bar counter stools with organic textures. “With some minor tweaks to the outdoor spaces, we were able to really update the aesthetic without making major changes to furniture,” Kalikow said.

Though the six-month project required some patience while her clients flew back and forth to Florida, Kalikow said all parties were pleased when she unveiled her design just before Memorial Day weekend. “I learned that trust from your client is a really important thing,” Kalikow noted, “and that being on the same page for design really helps bring a project to completion.”

The

of Edwina Lucas

BY HEATHER BUCHANAN

There is a human desire to capture the flower’s bloom at its fullest glory, the fleeting moment before it starts to fade, the allure not its perfection but its authentic expression of itself. Fine artist Edwina Lucas, luckily, comes to the rescue to capture this essence in her gorgeous oil paintings. Reminiscent of the Dutch Masters but with a wonderful fresh and vibrant take, she infuses her personal energy and appreciation of the life cycle to capture this vitality on her canvases.

Lucas states, “My work is about being awake. It is about living life with your eyes wide open. It is about noticing everything; from the way the sunlight hits a houseplant to the way an ocean wave can bring you to your knees.”

With both a grandmother and mother who are avid gardeners, Lucas says, “I grew up around flowers. It was important to our family to surround ourselves

with beautiful things, and I think that’s somehow in me.” Edwina learned that her mother’s skill in curating her garden was not only for its beauty, “She is always curating it and composing it with the idea of painting it in her mind.” In a world of Hamptons’ landscaping of boxwoods and hydrangeas, this sort of lush garden is most appealing.

Edwina had early support from her mother, Maryann Lucas, an accomplished artist as well. “When I was going to college to study my mother said, ‘Follow your dream. It’s not going to go away. Best to fuel it and feed it with an education and immersion.’” The lovely duo still shares a studio to create their artwork. For Edwina, it is ultimately a gut reaction to pick and immortalize her floral subjects, “There can be stunning flowers but they’re not going to make a great painting because no one is going to believe them. I love a meaty, droopy rose.”

Her training and education including time spent in Florence gives her a solid foundation yet room to experiment, “I think you have to learn the rules then kind of forget them.” If you look closely at her paintings, you see her masterfully controlling foreground and background, “The drama is in what’s lost and found.”

While she enjoys the controlled setting of her spacious studio, Lucas also explores the experience of en plein air painting which presents its own challenges. She sees a kindred spirit in her husband who is a surfer, “There are a lot of similarities,” she explains, “With both plein air painters and surfers you are a slave to nature. The conditions have to be

right, but when the stars align it is magical to cocreature with nature.” Her work reflects both when the universe is her stylist and when she consciously picks and positions her floral subjects as sculpture.

An aficionado of oil painting, Lucas know the pros and cons of this medium, “Oil is magnificent in its ability to be built up or taken down. The surface is remarkable and has a silkiness to it. The con is it’s expensive but I’d rather spend the money on that then another shirt,” she adds with a smile.

Lucas has exhibited at The Grenning Gallery, M & M Fine Art and Ille Arts as well as finding buyers on Instagram. After all, who would not want to live with all this natural beauty. Ultimately there is art you can appreciate and art you actually want to live with. The art of Edwina Lucas is art you definitely want to live with.

Where to eat during the Hamptons Film Festival

BY HANNAH SELINGER

With the Hamptons Film Festival in town, it’s time to catch up on the best filmmaking of the year. But once the fade to black, where will you curb your hunger? Even in the shoulder season, the East End is teeming with options, when it comes to lunch and dinner. For some of our favorite fall picks — places that will impress when you’re out for the Festival — read on.

This season’s new East Hampton pizza joint, a Bleecker Street import called Little Charli, will

remain open through December, covering plenty of Film Festival attendees’ needs in the meantime. Offering up Roman-style pizza while highlighting fresh ingredients, the restaurant cooks its pizzas in a wood-burning oven. Pizzaiolo Salvatore Olivella cut his teeth in New York and abroad before heading Out East. The result of his years of craftsmanship: a menu of family recipes and dough that undergoes a 34-hour fermentation process. Pizzas are long and shareable, in the traditional Roman style. The arresting Godfather is a meter long in total, and arrives beneath layers of prosciutto and arugula, shallots, ample burrata, and fresh shavings of truffle.

At the well-established Page Sag Harbor, which is open to visitors all year long, diners can enjoy a view of the village’s bustling Main Street, either from inside the cozy restaurant or from the busy back porch, if the weather suits. The allencompassing menu truly does offer something for everyone. There’s local Long Island duck breast and leg confit, served with Himalayan red rice shaved asparagus, and sautéed spinach; handmade cavatelli with jumbo lump crab, snow peas, fava beans, and cherry tomatoes; and seared sea scallops, served atop a kombucha and red cabbage purée and alongside chanterelle mushrooms and a jalapeño coulis.

Also in Sag Harbor is the near-perfect American Hotel, a dignified and old-fashioned space that lends itself to long and drawn-out lunches and dinners. The intimate barroom is ideal for a post-festival apéritif, but the brick-walled dining room — formal and bright, thanks to a solariumesque ceiling — is a dining must for anyone traveling through. On a brisk fall evening, there may be no better joy in all of the Hamptons than a bowl of the Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée. American Hackleback, Osetra White Sturgeon, and Beluga Hybrid Kaluga Caviar are all sold in 28-ounce servings, for those looking to add a bit of luxury to an evening out. (To that end, there’s the Foie Gras Sauté au Porto Branca, too.)

Or head to Amagansett, for a visit to Il Buco al Mare, the Hamptons outpost of the Noho restaurant that opened in the summer of 2021. With a vast selection of tinned fish imported from the Iberian Peninsula and Italy, Il Buco is dedicated to small plates and breads. Focaccia is made in house, with imported flour that is driven by a sense of place. A wood-burning oven is a central feature of the restaurant, imbuing breads and entrées — like the whole-roasted fluke with caper and anchovy brown butter — with just a wisp of smoke.

Little Charli

celebrate the season of Color

BY HEATHER SENISON

Ah, fall. Time for pumpkin spice, pumpkin decor and pumpkin colors, right? Not necessarily, designers say.

“If you really love shades of orange, plaid blankets and trios of pumpkins, by all means, embrace that and enjoy the season,” said Kathy Kuo, founder and CEO of Kathy Kuo Home. “I am a big proponent of getting creative and going beyond the traditional while exploring different and slightly more elevated dimensions of the fall season.”

Paul de Andrade, founder of Studio Kestrel, which has projects around the Hamptons, added that the season is about more than ghosts and gourds. “Fall is a time for new beginnings and reinvention,” de Andrade said. With summer over and school starting again, it’s a chance to freshen your living space.

IT’S SPOOKY SEASON

That said, it’s good to have some fun too, Kuo noted.

“I like to lean into the naturally spooky essence of fall and bring in dark and moody decorative objects that speak to the mysteries of nature,” she said. Think skull and snake motifs in bookends and mantelpiece sculptures mixed with “luxe-witch” accents like crystals, dried flowers and apothecaryinspired barware. “The mood is just spooky enough to be an obvious nod to the season, but nothing feels cliche or over the top,” Kuo explained, adding: “I do have two children who love Halloween, so I can’t escape pumpkins entirely!”

LAYERS AND TEXTURES

With the temperatures getting chilly, adding layers and textures to a home decor helps it feel warmer and cozier.

For example, “sheer curtains a beautiful and breezy way to filter sunlight and add privacy in the summer, but they also create a warm and ethereal glow during the bleak winter months,” de Andrade said. Pair them with blackout curtains or highopacity roller shades to insulate your windows.

Elena Frampton, founder of Frampton Co, a studio based in Bridgehampton and New York City, agrees that a layered look with pops of color creates interest throughout the season. “Mixing architectural materials such as natural wood finishes or a textured stone or concrete with [colorful] elements balances a beachy vibe,” she said.

EMBRACE THE COLORS

“The fall color palette is one of my very favorites!” said Kuo, whose dining room is a deep green that easily accommodates a “haute-haunted” vibe for fall.

Start with traditional warm earth and spice tones — including burnt orange — and mix in unexpected contrasting fall colors, like winter squash green or the evening sky’s slate blue.

“When in doubt, look to nature for a guide as to which seasonal colors work harmoniously together,” Kuo suggested.

Frampton likes to celebrate the season of color with an unexpected palette: technicolor.

Try adding it to a wall and or ceiling, upholstery in an armchair or adding it through works of art, she said. “For year-round living in the Hamptons, I enjoy a more layered look, with colorful elements that add interest all year long,” Frampton explained.

Bites of the BIG Apple

When there’s a fall chill in the air, a food lover’s fancy turns to big city dining.

BY BEVERLY STEPHEN

The most anticipated opening was five years in the making. Le Veau d’Or, a venerable Upper East Side French establishment, was rejuvenated by the Frenchette duo Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr.

The tables are covered with red checkered cloths as they were when the restaurant opened in 1937. The look was intended to be more casual than the fancy French places of that day. And a casual look is fine with the current owners too. The $125 prix fixe menu may not seem casual but it’s a bargain compared to many of the tasting menus around town.

Diners can expect French classics: pâté en croûte, escargots, frogs legs persillade, even tripes à la mode. And ile flottante for dessert! If you wish you were in Paris, this may be just the ticket.

Or if you wish you were in Italy, there’s Massara (913 Broadway) from the Michelin starred pasta whisperers at Rezdora, where the menu celebrates Emilia Romagna. Massara focuses on Campania “from the fresh seafood sourced on the Amalfi coast, to iconic pizza from Naples,” says Chef Stefano Secchi. This team won’t overlook pasta but mains such as a whole heritage goat braised, roasted, and grilled demands attention as does Langostino with Sorrento lemon zabaglione. A catch of the day is sourced from Dock to Dish, a sustainable seafood supplier in Montauk.

Speaking of Italian, Roberta’s of pizza fame in Bushwick has now opened in the Penn District right by Penn Station. Very unassuming looking but it’s turning out its signature pizzas from a wood burning oven.

Sempre Oggi (always today) from the Chef Driven Group took over the space formerly occupied by Cesca on the Upper West Side. Chef Phillip Basone’s menu is seasonal coastal Italian. Orecchiette is tossed with braised dandelion greens; Strozzapriti with white rabbit ragu. The porchetta is reminiscent of Rome. The bar’s ceiling is covered with custom ceramic tiles that evoke the seaside.

You can also be whisked away to the Amalfi coast by chef Harold Dieterle’s Il Totano in the West Village. The mood is set by large swaths of diaphanous blue and white wallpaper.

Dry aged fish, displayed in a temperature and humidity-controlled chamber, is a central component of Il Totano’s menu. “Dry aging fish improves its flavor and texture while also increasing shelf-life. The final product also has a wonderfully crisp skin,” says Dieterle.

Fresh seafood is the focus at some other spots. Despite the sad, untimely death of Chef James Kent (Crown Shy) in June, the Kent Group is still on track to open Time and Tide, a “fish house” (like a steakhouse) in October at 360 Park Avenue South.

Top Chef winner Danny Garcia will oversee the savory kitchen. Renata Ameni, executive pastry chef of Kent, will oversee the pastry.

Time and Tide was conceived as an homage to Kent’s grandmother and a nod to Grand Central Oyster Bar, where his grandmother, Sue, went on her first date with jazz great, Charles Mingus. They married and she oversaw his legacy until she died in 2022.

Alex Stupak, known for his magic with Mexican food, will embrace seafood at The Otter in the chic Manner Hotel in SoHo. Expect a raw bar, lobster rolls, and swordfish steak au poivre. At an adjacent Sloane’s Cocktail Lounge, he will serve small plates.

Steak takes center stage at Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak in the JW Marriott hotel facing Central Park. But trolly carts bearing seafood, foie gras, and desserts practically shout ‘look at me!’ The seafood trolly is a deconstructed seafood including Mina’s famous tuna tartare which he invented in 1991 at Aqua as a riff on beef tartare and is now ubiquitous on menus everywhere. All

tables receive complimentary duck fat fries.

The restaurant was two and a half years in the making. But it was 35 years in Mina’s mind from the time he left Charlie Palmer’s Aureole in New York before he started on the road to acclaim at Aqua in San Francisco. Now 30 global restaurants later, Mina is back. His executive chef is Bryan Ogden, son of the celebrated San Francisco chef Bradley Ogden. The glamorous love letter to steak

houses was designed by AvroKo with a nod to the Art Deco heritage of the location.

Design reigns at the Warren Street Hotel, the latest from the Firmdale group. British designer/ hotelier Kit Kemp combines a cacophony of

colors — buttercup yellow, lime green, cerulean blue — and patterns from stripes to florals into a harmonious whole. The ambience makes you feel creative but comfortable at the same time. Some TriBeCa creatives have adopted the chic bar for a meeting space fueled with an olive Martini and a charcuterie platter.

Cesar Ramirez, who helmed the three Michelin star Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare for a decade, has opened his own namesake restaurant in SoHo. Ramirez made his bones working for the late David Bouley and it shows in his refined dishes combining French techniques and Japanese influences. The 13-course tasting menu starts at $365. Yes, there’s his famous uni toast. For these high rolling diners, the dishes can be accompanied by a glass of bubbly from the roaming Champagne cart.

For those desiring more exotic fare, the on-fire Unapologetic (Dhamaka) team opened Kebabwala, a fast-casual Indian kebab house inspired by the street grills of India in the East Village. Later in the fall, they are bringing Adda Indian Canteen from Long Island City to the East Village.

This also seems to be a year for revivals of old favorites. A reimagined Boathouse in Central Park gives new life to a landmark New York institution from 1954. The menu is modern Continental: prime rib, oysters Rockefeller, and Parker House rolls.

Nine years after Commerce, the beloved West Village spot closed, it is reborn uptown, as Cafe Commerce (964 Lexington Ave). “This isn’t just a move; it’s an evolution of everything you loved about Commerce,” says Chef Harold Moore.

Jeremiah Stone and Fabian von Hauske Valtierra transformed their ten-year-old tasting menu restaurant Contra into Bar Contra (138 Orchard Street). It features experimental cocktails crafted by Dave Arnold (Existing Conditions and Booker and Dax).

Later this fall Clemente Bar will open upstairs

at Daniel Humm’s elegant Eleven Madison Park. “Adventurous” cocktails and small bites will be served under murals by the Italian contemporary artist Francesco Clemente.

In November, Daniel Boulud plans to add a New York steak house complete with an omakase counter for a steak tasting menu, to his global restaurant empire. La Tete d’Or, designed by David Rockwell, will be located in the new marquee tower at One Madison Avenue.

INTERIOR DESIGNER ALEC HOLLAND REIMAGINES A HAMPTONS HOME WITH WHIMSY AND WARMTH.

BY NINA THOMSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY GENEVIEVE GARRUPPO

Generally speaking, interior designers in the Hamptons don’t go in for color. They speak of the neutral-colored living room, the restful properties of beige, and upholstery that is meant to reference nature. While Alec Holland, a New York City-based interior designer, has nothing against white walls and linen slip-covered sofas, his aesthetic is decidedly un-beige. To put it mildly, he adores color. That sensibility resonated with Emily Tisch Sussman, a Democratic political strategist, the host of the podcast “She Pivots”, and a mother of three. “Emily has always believed that more color and bigger earrings mean more fun,” says Holland, who has known Tisch Sussman for ages.

Thus, when she and her husband, Kevin Craw, bought an eight-bedroom, nine-bathroom, earth-toned home in Water Mill at the height of the COVID pandemic, they engaged Holland to overhaul the interiors. There was just one catch: he wouldn’t be starting with a clean slate. Desperate to quit New York, and in need of a place to eat and sleep, the couple had taken the house with all the previous owner’s appurtenances and they weren’t about to throw them all away. The furniture, says Holland, gave off “a matronly Queen Victoria-ish vibe.” Many of the pieces seemed more like replicas than cherished

antiques. The walls were painted a buttery yellow. The entry hall was grand.

Recalls Holland, “Emily’s son was sleeping in a queensize brass bed, and this kid was only four! It just didn’t feel like the home of a young family.” His first intervention was to rescue the boy from the middleaged bed, which he replaced with one that has a canvas tent and doubles as a hidey-hole. On learning that his young client was into the color blue big time, Holland painted the walls and furniture in the “brightest, happiest blue” he could find. The girl’s room combines lavender walls with geometric wallpaper. The nursery features an outsize bright red mobile by Jim Hunter above the crib, golden walls that fairly glow, and Farrow & Ball’s “Bumblebee” wallpaper. All three rooms are easy enough to re-paint and re-decorate as the children mature, but for now they are miniature wonderlands of fantastical creatures and soft, ageappropriate furnishings.

In another life, Holland was a comedian and a television writer, so it makes sense that there’s a decided whimsy, a playfulness to his design work. Another challenge, he and Tisch Sussman realized from the outset, would be to use color in a way that was bold but that did not eclipse the design scheme or the space. “When you’re designing an entire house, you want to make sure there’s a beautiful flow.” He says the two spent a lot of time looking and thinking about negative space so that the effect was painterly rather than full-on. To this end, the centerpiece of the living room is Kenneth Noland’s 1967 “Graded Exposure,” a dramatic twenty-foot-long painting comprised of bright bands of color while the

rest of the elements in the room are in relatively muted tones. And the primary bedroom is furnished in subdued, calming hues.

Among Holland’s boldest moves was to paint the base of an old dining table — one of the pieces that came with the house — in a saturated Yves Klein-blue. It’s the exact shade that was used by the painter, now produced by the French company Ressource. He chose a velvet-matte finish, “as it was the most subtle.” Then, with Tisch Sussman’s encouragement, he refinished the tabletop in lacquered neon-green and paired the assembly with chairs upholstered in a mossy crushed velvet from Cliff Young. By way of a finishing touch, he clad the walls in Phillip Jeffries’s “Flight” wallpaper, which is the mottled blue of a night sky. “I thought I was a color freak,” says Holland, “and there was Emily, leading the way. It was pretty nuts!” He felt emboldened to turn the dining room into a showcase, as he knew it would mostly be used for entertaining. Under the table is that emblem of eastern Long Island design, a sisal rug. “I wanted a fresh, clean feeling,” says Holland, who notes that here and there you’ll find white walls and even a piece or two of wicker furniture. “After all, it is a Hamptons home.”

Compact Trees Add Character & Color To Your Fall Landscape. BY

ANNE HALPIN

Flowers bless the world with their colors for just a short time – most perennials bloom for only a few weeks and annuals are gone in fall. But woody plants – trees and shrubs – have a presence in the landscape all year round. We think of trees as towering presences in the landscape, providing shade, homes for birds, perhaps spring flowers or autumn color (or year-round color in the case of evergreens). Not all trees grow tall, though. Some stay more compact and can mix with other plants, anchoring beds and borders in the landscape or near the house, adding height and character through the year as other plants come and go. Some trees can grow happily in pots for years.

Small trees can grow closer to the house than majestic oaks and maples. They can add height to a bed or border of flowers or shrubs, even in a foundation planting in front of the house, if chosen carefully. They can bring year-round structure to a small landscape, or a mixed bed in the front lawn where flowers and groundcovers also grow in summer. They can also add rich color – Japanese maples are known for their brilliant autumn foliage in blazing reds, oranges and yellows, and the dwarf varieties are just as bright as their taller relatives. Small trees are especially welcome near a patio, where they supply shade and greenery, and perhaps flowers, too, and colorful autumn foliage or interesting bark in winter. A bed next to a patio or deck can include a small tree or two for vertical interest. You might even construct a patio around one of your favorite trees and incorporate it right into the design.

For a formal home, a pair of trees in matching urns on either side of the front door offer a gracious welcome to visitors. Neatly clipped evergreens, or matching trees trained as standards, with a round ball of foliage atop a tall, straight stem provide an elegant accent. For a more romantic look in a bed or border, a small weeping tree adds graceful form, with its branches growing out from the central trunk and then spilling downward toward the ground.

trees are

to care for than flowers – they don’t need watering or fertilizing as frequently, or constant grooming to remove spent blossoms. One important caveat to keep in mind when choosing a small tree for a bed, border, a foundation planting or a location near the deck or patio, is the size the tree will grow to be when it is fully mature. That lovely little cherry tree covered with spring flowers at the local nursery could end up being much too tall and too wide for that spot outside the front door. It could in

time overwhelm a foundation planting, blocking windows, scraping against the wall, shading out other plants.

If you need a small tree, make sure the one you are choosing is actually a dwarf variety. If you’re shopping at a local nursery, ask knowledgeable staff for guidance. Check the plant’s ID tag. If online, read the information carefully to find the mature height and width of the plant. Plant names can sometimes provide a clue as well. If you see words such as Nana, Compacta or Minima in the name, the tree is probably a smaller form of the species. It is essential to be realistic about the amount of space you have available and choose a tree that won’t outgrow it. Moving an overgrown tree is a big project.

Here are some trees that are compact in size, or grow very slowly and remain small for years, making them good choices to combine with perennials, groundcovers or other plants, or to grow in a large container. If you’re looking for evergreens that provide color year-round, a few options are dwarf Alberta spruce, elegant in a formal urn, Hetz Midget arborvitae (just remember to put it where deer can’t get to it), Arnold Arboretum dwarf Japanese pine, and Globosa or Montgomery blue spruce. For late summer color, look for dwarf varieties of crape myrtle, whose bright pink, red or white flowers bloom around the Hamptons on full-size forms. Japanese maples light up the autumn garden with dazzling foliage; some varieties to consider include Crimson Queen, Viridis, Butterfly and Dissectum.

Where Haute Hamptonites Are Heading This Fall

Another unforgettable high season in the Hamptons has come to a close which means globetrotting East Enders are now eager to travel to the most luxurious locations that offer singular experiences. “Town and Country” escapes are a hot travel trend for Hamptonites as they offer a similar blend of urban excitement and rural tranquility for those who love the dichotomy of living between New York City and the Hamptons. A customized fall travel itinerary from London to Somerset, England is such a felicitous fit. Enjoy the iconic cultural attractions, cutting-edge dining, and royal flare of the capital city while staying at The Lanesborough Hotel in Knightsbridge, London and then hit the road for a beautiful two-hour drive (or train ride) through rolling hills, painterly landscapes, and charming villages to The Newt in Somerset. Situated in the heart of England’s West Country, Somerset allows for a deeper connection with England’s rich history and natural beauty. HRES shares a bespoke travel guide with all the details you need to plan an unforgettable trip across the pond below...

Travel Consultant Jackie Roth of London-based luxury travel company Scott Dunn shares, “We’re

finding nowadays that guests want just a snippet of the hustle & bustle of city life, then they choose to spend the rest of the time decompressing in the countryside. This combo works quite well, especially doing the city first because you have tons of energy at the start of your trip and we find that most guests are eager to explore right away. Then as the days go on it’s nice to get into a bit of a slower rhythm and even have some entirely free days, to explore or relax as you may wish, and that’s where the English countryside comes in.”

First stop, the historic Lanesborough Hotel in London is a quintessential symbol of British luxury and sophistication. With its stunning Regency-style architecture and interiors designed by Alberto Pinto. The hotel provides a perfect base for exploring some of the city’s most iconic attractions. Just a short stroll away is Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, and the Wellington Arch. For power shoppers, the world-renowned Harrods and Harvey Nichols department stores are nearby, along with the luxury boutiques of Sloane Street.

The hotel boasts 93 lavish rooms and suites, each equipped with modern amenities, ensuring

a blend of classic elegance and contemporary comforts. The Lanesborough is renowned for its opulent and meticulously designed suites, providing 24-hour butler service to cater to the

The history of The Newt dates back to the 17th century when the estate was first developed. Originally known as Hadspen House, the property has long been associated with English nobility and has been home to several prominent families over the centuries, each of whom left their mark on the estate. In the early 2000’s, the estate underwent a major transformation under the ownership of Karen Roos and her husband, Koos Bekker, a South African entrepreneur. The couple, who are passionate about design and horticulture, embarked on an ambitious project to meticulously restore and reimagine the estate into a modern country retreat while maintaining the integrity of the original structure. Known for her background in design and publishing, the interior design was led by Karen, having been the former editor of Elle Decor South Africa. Hadspen House, the main building, features Georgian architecture with high ceilings, large sash windows, and intricate moldings. Roos’ design approach blends classic English country house aesthetics with natural materials, muted color palettes, and a mix of antique and contemporary furnishings.

Drawing visitors from

around the globe, The Newt offers a series of immersive and interactive experiences featuring a walled garden, an apple orchard, a cascade of ponds, and a kitchen garden. There is also a color themed Victorian-style Parabola Garden planted with a collection of nearly 460 varieties of espaliered fruit trees, arranged in a Baroque maze.
