The palatial property that played host to extravagant parties for guests including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx and the Fitzgeralds was brought to the ground two short decades after its heyday. And this summer, we will loose yet another when the mansion fabled to have inspired Daisy Buchanan's home is torn down. Now that the Gilded Age of <a href="http://guestofaguest.com/tag/f-scott-fitzgerald/" target="_blank">F. Scott Fitzgerald</a> is back in the spotlight, we can't help noticing why <a href="http://guestofaguest.com/directory/Baz-Luhrmann/" target="_blank">Baz Luhrmann</a> chose to shoot his rendition of "<a href="http://guestofaguest.com/tag/the-great-gatsby/" target="_blank">The Great Gatsby</a>" in Australia. The Gold Coast of Long Island is no longer the glamorous dueling Eggs of Gatsby's world, as some of the famous mansions crumble to the ground. <strong>See also: </strong>[<a href="http://guestofaguest.com/movies/10-reasons-we-cant-wait-for-the-great-gatsby-to-hit-theaters" target="_blank">10 Reasons We Can't Wait For The Great Gatsby</a>] [<a href="http://guestofaguest.com/new-york/party-crasher/last-nights-parties-leonardo-dicaprio-jay-z-step-out-for-the-world-premiere-of-the-great-gatbsy-katy-perry-presents-vera-wang-with-an-award-and-more" target="_blank">Last Night's Parties: Leonardo DiCaprio Steps Out For The World Premiere Of "The Great Gatsby"</a>] [<a href="http://guestofaguest.com/new-york/movies/6-ways-to-experience-the-great-gatsby-in-nyc" target="_blank">6 Ways To Experience The Great Gatsby In NYC</a>] <em>[Photo via <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/online/oscars/2013/05/the-great-gatsby-production_slideshow_item2_3" target="_blank">Vanity Fair</a>]</em></p> </article> <article> <h1>Last Chance To Intern With Us In The Hamptons This Summer!</h1> <p>Guest of a Guest — Thu, 16 May 2013 12:45:43 +0000</p> <p><style>img { border: 1px solid #CED1E5 !important; float: left; margin-right: 7px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 0 !important; } img.alignleft { display: inline!important; float: left!important; } img.alignright { display: inline!important; float: right!important; } img.alignnone { display: inline; float: none !important; }</style>We're in the process of finalizing our Hamptons operation this summer and we still have a few spots left for interns!

Feast your eyes on <strong>"The David Pharaoh Cottages.</strong>" Named after the revered Montakett Indian leader, <a href="http://www.longwood.k12.ny.us/history/midisl/bayles%20stories/book%209/montauk%20indians.htm" target="_blank">David Pharaoh </a>(regarded as the last living Indian king of Montauk), the name pays homage to Montauk's rich Indian history. These adorable little homes (which don't seem to need much work as-is) will be getting the full MacPherson treatment. What does this mean for Crow's Nest guests? The chance to spend a summer holiday in one's own private beach bungalow complete with kitchenettes, a private lakefront patio, a private beach, and all of Crow's Nest's amenities. Apparently demand for the coveted two bedroom house on the existing Crow's Nest property was so strong that MacPherson quickly expanded to the adjacent cottages. A good move - with very few rental options in Montauk for families, expect these to get snatched up fast!

For the first time ever, the MTA will be offering express, nonstop service service between Penn Station and Westhampton, leaving the city Friday afternoon and returning Sunday evening. The 94-minute ride is a far cry from the drunken, Frat-like LIRR experience of summers past. We all remember the beer slip n slide debauchery that went down on a train ride out to the Hamptons a few years back. And if you don't, then check out the video below and be thankful that you'll be able to escape that mess this season. We don't know about you, but we think $27 each way is a small price to pay for the slight luxury of a nonstop ride out to the Hamptons this summer.
