Tripoli Patterson
Tripoli Patterson is a pro surfer. He’s lived in Bali and New Zealand. He puts together fantastic exhibitions for artists he discovers in his travels. His tee-shirt line’s like Christopher Holland’s on acid. New York’s hipster elite love him. So too do older, more established gallery owners. Among the east end’s young wave riders, he is God. And he is only 24. More>>
Interview With Chester French
Chester French is the architect who designed the Lincoln Memorial and “The Spirit of Life.” He”s also a synth-rock band signed to Pharrell”s Star Trak label, a band masterminded by two fresh-out-of-Harvard, button-down-wearing white boys. The tale of D.A. Wallach and Maxwell Drummey is one of dormitory sessions and persistent demo-distribution, of intuition and drily dirty wit. Most of all, it is one of talent, and the ability to put it to use. Below, the boys talk genre-bending, wet tee-shirt contests, and coveting their neighbors” physiques. More>>
Jeff Goldstein
The young, the artsy, and the sartorially aware movers and shakers have learned to use Blue&Cream in East Hampton as their closet, stylist, and evening hangout par excellence. Curious as to the origins of this rather avant-garde collective, we hit up the store’s creator and owner Jeff Goldstein and got him to give us the 411 on juxtaposition, staying ahead of the curve, and why Charlotte Ronson is his muse: More>>
Roger Rosenblatt
Roger Rosenblatt has been the essayist for TIME and the New York Times, and a correspondent for PBS‘ NewsHour. He was the New Republic’s and US World Report and News‘ senior editor. He’s written 12 nationally acclaimed, often best-selling books. He’s amassed a Peabody, an Emmy, and two Polks. And he does not use email. I ask how such a feat is possible in our age of round-the-clock virtual connection. “A combination of inborn stupidity and laziness,” he tells me. More>>
Lorna Kleidman
Somewhere between Lorna’s physical appearance, her friendly, yet empassioned demeanor, and the fact that, in just three years, she went from greenhorn to International Master of Sport and National Champion, she sold us. Below, Lorna talks Spetznaz, Ferraris, and why you’ll never need to run again… More>>
Emily Giffin
She’s been called “A modern day Jane Austen.” and I like the comparison, as her heroines are becoming equally influential, (though I doubt her predecessor was as hip). Toting her addicting charisma, her radiant smile, and her new book, Love The One You’re With (which I finished in two days), Emily dishes out her real life tale… a best selling story in itself.

Mary Schoenlein
On Amagansett’s Main Street, there’s a little white shop with a red door and a sign which proclaims, in flowing letters, “Mary’s Marvelous.” Intrigued by the alliteration and the crowds attesting to it, we caught up with owner Mary Schoenlein, a former pastry chef at Gotham Bar and Grill and the current muffin mama for what seems to be half of the south shore, to discuss cookbooks, gardens, and what happens when the muffins run out…… More>>
Jasmin Rosemberg
We’re more than a bit in awe of Jasmin Rosemberg. At twenty-three, the bubbly Brooklynite bunked Standard & Poor, landed herself a column at the New York Post chronicling her Hamptons share house experience, and lived to write the bacchanalian tale. How the Other Half Hamptons reads like Animal House 2.0: The Hamptons, with all the delicious cultural references and sartorial digs its location necessitates More>>
James Cruickshank and Emmett Shine
Founders of LOLA and hailing straight from Southampton, these two are becoming our newest resource for all things East. They’re one part Manhattan movers, one part laid back locals out east…though don’t that last part fool you, these two will run CIRCLES around you work wise, and their part of the reason New York will never “die”.
