A new bistro with a covered outdoor patio, Little Red has an appealing New American menu featuring basic, local dishes. I had a lobster roll, which contained a satisfying amount of meat and was served on an untoasted roll with a side of thick, hand-cut chips. A British dining companion noted that the linguini with […]

Golden Pear
This Hamptons café has been a beach community fixture for over 20 years. It offers generous sized salads, sandwiches and baked goods as well as daily hot entrees. I especially love starting my day with the scrambled eggs and cheddar on a freshly baked croissant or the cinnamon infused Belgian waffle and one of their […]
75 Main
This American Bistro with basic fare is my favorite go-to place in Southampton because the menu’s varied, simple offerings will satisfy any group. This week, I went with a party of five and we were all pleased with various grilled seafood dishes such as tuna and tilapia. Try to get a sidewalk table for entertaining […]
East Hampton Beach Roundup
A day at the beach in the Hamptons can be as competitive as anything in Manhattan. With a little planning, you’ll get your fill of rays. The five beaches in the Village of East Hampton, owned and operated by the village, are: • Georgica Beach, Lily Pond Lane (lifeguard, bathroom) • Main Beach, 101 […]
Don Quixote’s Nightmare
In East Hampton, windmills are as much of a fixture as the stunning ocean beaches. It’s always a treat when someone new to the area marvels at the mills since I am then reminded of how striking they really are. Three windmills are still standing, all of which were built in the 18th and 19th […]
IFC Center
This is one Manhattan’s best theatres. You might remember it as Waverly Theatre, which it was until 2005. The lobby is still cramped and patrons still line up prior to movie time, but the five cinemas are modern, the popcorn is organic and dressed with real butter and the film line-up continues to impress. […]
McCarthy Square, NYC
Vertical city, vertical birdhouse This tiny, triangular Greenwich Village square resulted from Seventh and Eighth Avenues’ extensions south of 14th Street in the early 1900’s. In 1943, the site was named in honor of U.S. Marine Bernard Joseph McCarthy, the first reported Greenwich Village resident killed in WWII.
MOMA, NYC
Figurengruppe (Group of Figures) soaks up the sun in MOMA’s Sculpture Garden. Katharina Fritsch’s installation features nine life-size sculptures of, among other figures, St. Michael, a Madonna, a giant, and a snake in bronze, copper, and stainless steel. Inside, Erin and I viewed the striking exhibit German Expressionism: The Graphic Impulse, which showcased German Expressionists’ […]
Dubai Palm
Inexpensive Middle Eastern food and one of the few decent vegetarian options in Luxembourg. The food is not memorable, but it’s good for a reasonably priced sit-down venue. 3 Avenue Monterey, Luxembourg
