Cool Pools

2012-05-23T16:18:08+00:00

When the weather is hot and beach crowds reach epic proportions, staying home is often the only logical option. Many don’t have the luxury of private beachfront property, so a dip in the pool is the next best thing.

Fun in the Sun

2012-05-23T16:07:49+00:00

It’s summer and it’s time to have fun. You want to entertain, and what better place to do it than at a summer house? Obviously you did your homework and found a fitting area—say, Fire Island or the North Shore or Hamptons—but finding the appropriate setting is only half the battle. Now you have to find the right house. A fun house.

Modular Homes

2012-05-23T15:53:55+00:00

Modular homes—houses built section by section in a factory, often at a quicker pace than traditional homes—offer many advantages to homeowners. On average, modular homes are completed within six to eight weeks, which can lead to significant savings in labor and construction costs. The amount of building material spent is often reduced as waste and theft are greatly minimized with indoor building and factory supervision. The factory model is more closely monitored, so labor is more effective and economical, resulting in a better constructed, cheaper and more energy efficient home.

Haute Habitats June 2012

2012-05-23T15:44:05+00:00

In the middle of LI’s North Fork wine country, Cutchogue is probably best known for its numerous vineyards and wineries, including Bedell Cellars, Castello di Borghese/Hargrave, Pugliese Vineyards and McCall Wines, to name a few. But the small hamlet’s rich and well-preserved history is also worth exploring.

Hot and Refreshing

2012-05-23T14:39:34+00:00

Sales of Moscato have increased more than 70 percent each of the past two years, while total wine sales have increased about 5 percent. I guess it's time for me to jump on the bandwagon, even though I have loved and promoted the traditional Moscato d’Asti as a refreshing beach beverage for years.

Way Out East

2012-05-22T15:43:25+00:00

Before Caroline Doctorow found her voice as a singer-songwriter, vocalists inspired her to sing and play guitar. The East End-based musician has written dozens of songs and released numerous albums, but Doctorow’s recent recordings pay tribute to artists she admires.

Hybrid Cocktails and Brooklyn Acadamy of Music

2012-05-21T21:00:16+00:00

The idea of the hybrid fascinates us. Think about it. It’s not just about fuel economy.

World Barbecue

2012-05-21T20:51:20+00:00

In case you haven't noticed, summer is here. It’s time to twist on your gingham-patterned bib, break out the wetnaps and take part in the sloppy afternoons that are part of America's most celebrated tradition: The backyard barbeque.

2012-05-21T14:01:16+00:00

They are a local family band giving you the best of both worlds—joy and pain, so to speak—and their infectious sound is the entry point to a place that is so familiar, it’s like déjà-vu.

Little Discourses

2012-05-21T13:55:04+00:00

This refusal to adhere to convention is at the core of what it means to be an artist no matter genre or discipline. I’m speaking with Grey Reverend today, and he knows a little something about challenges.

Suit Up With JB Baretsky

2012-05-21T13:30:36+00:00

A suit-wearing, gambling, whiskey-drinking master of irreverent one-liners, jazz/pop singer JB Baretsky would fit right in as a member of the 1960s Rat Pack. But it wasn’t always this way for the 25-year-old Central Islip native, who now resides in Commack.

Moonrise Kingdom + Dark Horse

2012-05-21T13:12:38+00:00

Wes Anderson burst onto cinema screens with the bold one-two punch of Bottle Rocket (1996) and Rushmore (1998). Both movies use an exuberant “let’s-put-on-a-show” aesthetic to explore the fuzzy line between childhood and adulthood in a playful manner that is self-reflexively mirrored in Rushmore’s depiction of high school productions of classic movies like Apocalypse Now.

Yes, Mother’s Day is that amiable day of brunch and mimosas, but I declare, what says “thanks Pops!” more than steak and/or beer?

Elevated Simplicity

2012-05-20T20:43:10+00:00

It is not realistic for expanses of soil and saltwater to be prepared for consumption and served within a culinary establishment. It is fitting, however, for these aforementioned earth-pieces to exist as a principal source, providing ingredients utilized for cookery.

Drinkology June 2012

2012-05-20T20:38:41+00:00

Campari is the bitters apéritif of choice for hotspots around the world. The recipe—an infusion of herbs, aromatic plants and fruit in alcohol and water—has remained a closely guarded secret since its creation more than 150 years ago. Two words: Simple. Elegant.

Shape Shifting Reality

2012-05-20T20:11:25+00:00

What now seems like a modern suburban tale—a boy and his skateboard vs. the world (no longer that boy and his horse), most likely complete with a Slurpee, flitting from the cops and a bloody elbow—has suddenly modulated into something not even Hurnyak could predict.
