News and Culture from the vineyards on the North Fork to the beaches on the South Fork, and all the parties in between, reported from a plank chair in the sand.

Featured Interview


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.

Summer Is Winding Down. Now’s The Time To Really Get Greedy!

the surf clubMadonna may have missed her own party this weekend, but I was far from the hamptons social set, and even further from caring.  We took the weekend off (again) from the party circuit and focused on some simpler pleasures.  Friends (both new and old), good food, and some good old fashioned fun.  This weekend, in Quogue, I learned the ins and outs of the Surf Club, The Q, and the Fruit King.  I learned how to poach a sword fish and stuff a crepe.  I got preyed on by jellyfish, and buried in the beautiful sands of Long Island. There were tomatoes involved, and ice cream…scallops, vino, and salt water.  There were few (read: zero) showers and even less cell phone usage.  The only time I looked at my computer was to watch what was happening in Beijing.  Sometimes it’s okay to sleep too much, eat too much, and lay in the sun for too long. I may have gotten a tad greedy this weekend, but this is what summer is all about.
