Here comes the book of the century. “In the Hamptons: My Fifty Years With Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires, and Celebrities,” by Dan Rattiner is going to be coming out nationwide with Crown Publishing. Talk about an interesting memoir. The book includes his relationships with people like Bill Clinton, Billy Joel, Richard Nixon and getting fired from working at his father’s pharmacy, White’s Drug Store, in Montauk.
If you want to read about how the Hamptons has been shaped into what it is today while laughing the whole time, you’ll love this book.
Look for it on book shelves everywhere this Spring.

Oh no they did not just do this to us. For those of you addicted to the crack that is reality television, Bravo has a new pill for you, “The Real Housewives of New York City.” The new series set to debut in March will feature an elite and powerful set of New York moms as they juggle their careers, family life, charity fund-raising galas and you guessed it, the social whirl of the Hamptons.
OH THE DRAMA OF IT ALL.
The show is a spin off of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” which has captivated the nation and young men who love Milf’s. You should expect nothing less from the New York City version and perhaps a few summer flings with a Manny might be added in just for kicks. The “real” women who are in the show are all New York power players who grace the Hamptons with their presence from time to time. The cast of babes consists of Bethenny Frankel, a single socialite in her 30s (SWEET!), who is an excellent chef (DOUBLE SWEET) and has a Wall Street boyfriend (NOOOOO!). Then of course there is Jill Zarin the entrepreneur married to another one. LuAnn de Lesseps the sexy traveler who speaks French and Ramona Singer, the RMS Fashions Goddess. Finally there is Alex McCord, the up and coming socialite who wants her kids to speak French so only lets her Nanny talk to them in French.
All fascinating stuff.
WE SMELL AN EMMY!

Rachael Ray has finally closed on her Southampton compound. The $3 million dream home comes equipped with a pool, pond and multiple gardens adjacent to prestigious Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, and a European style villa (in addition to two cottages). We are looking forward to one excellent house warming party complete with good old fashioned cooking by Rachel Ray. How can you not love this woman? She’s adorable!

Tom Swinimer, the delivery manager here, and myself wanted to go out for a beer and some food in Bridgehampton yesterday after work. We decided to check out World Pie and say hello to Dennis, but were stopped short when we saw this…
There was a note on the door, so we thought we’d see just what the heck was going on….
“Bobby Van’s?” Tom said…
But that was closed too, and so we checked around the corner and found Alison’s, but that was closed too! We headed to the West further to Water Mill to check out Muse, but that was closed for Tuesday night eating as well. But of course, good sushi and saki saved us.
It was so packed that even owner Toyo Kamatani was behind the bar taking orders. “Where the saki flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.”
It was a good Tuesday night find, but to be honest, I’m just happy we didn’t end up having to drive to the City.

Nothing beats local theatre in the Hamptons and some of the best comes from the The Hampton Theatre Company in Quogue. On January 10 the Hampton Theatre Company will kick off the new year with David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Glengarry Glen Ross.” The comedy is about the ridiculous competition between real estate salesmen.
You can check out these local characters at Quogue Community Hall on Jessup Avenue. These days real estate people could use a good laugh and David Mamet has the medicine.
