Hamptons Car Of The Day
[Zev fueling up his rover in East Hampton]
A car is only as cool as its owner behind the wheel. And, this combo of car/driver is hands down the “coolest” one I’ve seen so far this summer. I met Zev Starr-Tambor on the Jitney. He was impressed with my blackberry skills and pointed completely unnecessary ramblings of directions to interns regarding our gofg photographers for that evening’s events….Zev’s a photographer….yadda yadda yadda….3 weeks later, Claire and I are dancing to a rendition of the Proclaimers’ “I’m Gonna Be” under a white party tent miles away from home with people in paisley print suits, pastels and bowties….

The Benefits Of Breathalyzers
[Written by Marissa Friedes]
Don’t you just adore going barefoot and bra-less in the summertime? Well that’s why I love summer: it’s the freedom! In fact, just last night my girls and I felt free to turn a random night into a party night!
After going classy with wine at Wolffer, we headed straight for one of the rowdiest places in the area: La Superica in Sag Harbor, where the nachos are served grande and the margaritas grand. La Superica also does super-strong “Perfect” margaritas, which can really put you under, if you’re ever so inclined… More »

Weekends In The Hamptons, Welcome To “The Good Life.”
[Claire and I after paddle boarding with instructor Zack Bliss and Luigi Tadini at Surf Lodge]
Summer has always been my favorite season. Not even the yuletide blessings that surround me each holiday season can compare with weekends like this. After our taping with Plum TV and the after party soirée with the entire crew at Wolffer Estates, Claire and I got to hang with the men behind Surf Lodge on Friday, shop around for the best lobster roll in Montauk with Luigi Tadini all day, and then later burn it off Hawaiian-style via paddle boarding on Fort Pond behind Surf Lodge.
Later that night I tried my hand at cooking (an adventure that happens once in a blue moon), and relaxed the night away with tomato beers and fresh air.

Wolffer Hosts The Summer Solstice Party
We first heard about the Group for the East End’s Summer Solstice party from our dashing Plum TV host Nick Gregory, and his description -laid-back and liquor-loosened weekenders frolicking midst the vines until sunrise, made us wish we had an extra $900 jangling around to cover ticket costs. We didn’t, but, judging from Patrick McMullan’s pictures of this year’s event, it was a success.

Live Posting From Surf Lodge
Claire and I are sitting with Sam Talbot, Jamie Mulholland, and Steve Kasuba. Here’s a picture of me working in between talks about shark fillets, deep sea fishing in Montauk, and brownies. Did I mention how much I love this place….

Steve Forbert Will Bring Romeo’s Tune To The Talkhouse
Steve Forbert’s been around since the late 70’s, and with 12 studio releases and ten stellar live albums, I’m not sure why he isn’t better known. He’s got Dylan’s knack for poignant ramblings, coupled with a more pleasant, if less distinct voice. His guitar skills are far beyond solid, and he’s a master at the catchy, sweeping chorus. If you dig Mark Knophler’s solo stuff, or Steven Stills’, I guarantee you’ll like this guy. Prove me right tonight at the Talkhouse; he goes on at 8.

Tipster/rove lensman Jeffery snapped this little Fiat outside the Candy Kitchen in Bridgehampton. We hope its owner was fueling up on PB&Bacon sammies!
