Monday nights in August are particularly grim—the few people even in the city on weekdays ritualistically applying aloe and flushing the weekend’s gin and tonics out of their respective systems. We’re stopping by the Museum of Modern Art to check out the exhibition Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language, a group show examining the Dada and Futurist Read More
We’re walking a bit unsteadily today (we had a bit too much from Jay McInerney’s cellar last night), so we’re looking for something low-impact to do before the journey back to the city. Unfortunately, duty calls, and we’re forced to take little Trip and Muffin to the East Hampton Library children’s fair. There will be Read More
Surely our literary ardor couldn’t have been sated by last night’s Robert Caro event—and the only reading we thought to bring Out East was a back issue of Vogue and the third Fifty Shades book (we can’t wait to see how it ends!). Tonight, we’ll be in search of the life of the mind, starting Read More
Having indulged our Anglophilia more fully than usual these past two weeks of the Olympics (our temporary geographic obsession happens every cycle, and it’ll be much more painful when we get Brazilians for Rio 2016), we’re looking to recreate the rigid social structure and commodity fetishism of Victorian England. Happily, Ted Baker London’s flagship store Read More
Julie Delpy’s Rolodex is pretty full: she’s romanced Ethan Hawke, Richard Gere and Bill Murray onscreen. But in her new film, 2 Days in New York, she’s added a new gent to the mix: Chris Rock loses some of his biting comic edge to play Ms. Delpy’s boyfriend, a journalist. And Ms. Delpy’s not simply Read More
It’s a summer double feature courtesy of the “Universal 100” retrospective, in which Universal Studios shows just how broad its backlist is. Apparently, their appetites were catholic enough to allow for Spike Lee’s groundbreaking examination of race in America, Do the Right Thing, and Amy Heckerling’s dopey teen comedy, Fast Times at Ridgemont High (written Read More
If you can tear yourself away from the televised Olympics all across the NBC networks—tough stuff, given that today brings both the men’s triathlon and the women’s duet synchronized swimming finals, and do not get us started on table tennis!—you can celebrate everyone’s right to join in the Games at a benefit for Special Olympics Read More
We usually wait until December for Darlene Love to re-enter our lives. With her belted standard, “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” she’s probably made more of a name for herself off of Dec. 25 than any musician since Irving Berlin, or at least Mariah Carey. But Ms. Love has a wider repertoire than her yearly Read More
Tonight brings one of the final weekends in the Hamptons. Celebrate a summer well spent (or, at least, amusingly spent) with your chosen people at a cocktail reception hosted by Chabad of the Hamptons. The religious organization, of seven years’ vintage Out East, is raising funds with an evening soirée, with music provided by the Read More
It’s a night in Monaco—but don’t worry, you don’t need to call in a favor to get on someone’s flight from Teterboro. It’s “Monaco” in the sense that your high school prom was “a night at the Oscars”: a fantastically themed occasion requiring you to step not a foot outside your comfort zone (the Hamptons, Read More
