Richard Migliore, a retired jockey who grew up in Bay Shore, remembers his carefree days in the 1970s as a good time for a boy who loved horses: “A whole group of us had ponies and we would ride behind the high school athletic fields, even right on the fields. We would ride to Belmont State Park, down to the lake and let our horses swim in the lake. Instead of jumping on a bike, we jumped on a horse. It was a great time to be a kid.”

Tantalizing Textiles

2013-05-23T15:37:23+00:00

These mighty fabrics have taken families through decades of backyard get-togethers, shrugging off many a spill, smear and storm. And it’s these attributes that make outdoors fabrics compelling for interior spaces.

Au Natural

2013-05-23T14:01:06+00:00

The wine world is complex and marketing creates even more ways to muddle the facts when actually, at its core, wine is pretty simple and almost makes itself. The right temperature, a bit of yeast, some sugar and off the fermentation goes. The results wouldn’t be much to write about without a good balance between all the other natural components of wine along with the grape sugars that turn to alcohol creating wine.

The Passion, Grace & Fire of John McLaughlin

2013-05-22T19:17:17+00:00

Jeff Beck is regarded by most critics and guitar-gods as the greatest living guitarist. When asked a few years ago who he thought is the best guitarist he said, without hesitation, “John McLaughlin.”

Before Midnight

2013-05-22T19:08:58+00:00

Sequels are generally inspired by greed. Hollywood producers think “We made a lot of money with that movie. Let's give them more of the same.” Rare is the sequel that deepens and expands the meaning of the original. With Before Midnight, filmmaker Richard Linklater and actors Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have completed a trilogy that has grown more powerful with each subsequent movie.

What are little summer theaters made of? Musical n’ farces n’ kiddie shows, that’s what little summer theaters are made of. Especially along our summer theater loving sandbar. This season there is also a little spice to go with the sugar and a bit of variety and risk-taking to offset the obvious…

Claudia Jacobs, who started writing songs around the time she was making out with her Cat Stevens album cover in junior high, has a lot going on these days. In addition to handling all-things Woodlands Folk Festival, Jacobs fronts the Claudia Jacobs Band. But she earned her chops flying strictly solo early on.

Permanent Trajectory

2013-05-22T18:05:32+00:00

You don’t listen to the new Akron/Family record, Sub Verses, you commit to it. You surrender to its gallantry, its pristine expression, its culmination. You celebrate its arrival and then spend hours trying to deconstruct it only to find you’re just shredding yourself. It’s a lesson in ego obliteration, a chance to immerse yourself in something bigger and stranger than yourself.

Up in Smoke

2013-05-22T16:51:52+00:00

Long Island pitmasters are changing the idea of a barbecue in these parts through the competition circuit. Smoked hunks of pork butt, racks of ribs and dozens of chicken thighs are replacing grilled burgers and franks. It’s not fast and it’s not easy, but it may just be the best damn thing you put in your mouth this summer.

Agrarian Urbanity & Other Strange Pairings

2013-05-22T15:09:12+00:00

My parents emigrated here from lands where the sheep roam free and the goats know very little about YouTube. They knew full well when crossing the Atlantic that, in the great metropolis of New York City, life would be a far cry from the motherland’s pastoral living. They obviously didn’t know about The Queens County Farm Museum.

Smooth Sipping

2013-05-22T15:02:04+00:00

Few things compare to a simple cocktail enjoyed under summer’s sun, or sunset for that matter. When entertaining moves out onto the deck, patio or poolside the beverage experience should likewise take it easy. That means a little curating will go a long way to avoid the entire liquor cabinet from ending up outside. It requires a plan.

Just Add Water

2013-05-22T14:51:52+00:00

There was once a time when the bathing ritual was, well, a ritual. Changes in living patterns have downsized the indulgence, and along with it, the importance of the bathroom. But the commode and its fellows are enjoying a renaissance
