Our spectacular Gold Coast man-sions and homes have provided the setting for movies and television shows from Batman to Mildred Pierce.In this issue, we take a snapshot of this diamond mine for world-class filmmakers.

Knole, an estate in Old Westbury for instance, was the location for the original Arthur, starring Dudley Moore; as well as the films Reversal of Fortune, Mickey Blue Eyes, Devil’s Advocate, and The Associate star-ring Whoopi Goldberg. Falaise, the former Harry Guggenheim estate in Sands Point Preserve, was the set-ting for a scene in The Godfather star-ring Marlon Brando. What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas, but Oheka Castle in Cold Spring Hills was where the movie with Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore was actually filmed.

Recently filmed in Old Westbury and coming to the big screen next year are Admission starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd and Dark Horse with Christopher Walken and Mia Farrow. Then there’s my own budding televi-sion career. But, as you’ll see, that’s a separate story.

Our summer issue includes other stars as well.

Gary Gallagher, our featured ar-chitect, has long been known for his luxurious one of a kind custom homes. The mother daughter team of Rosemarie and Annemarie DiSal-vo, the owner/designers of DiSalvo Interiors, make decorating seem easy. Their eclectic sense of style can be seen in fabulous homes across the North Shore.

We also look at summer decor -- and how with a few minor changes, you can make the interior of your home feel outdoorsy and like sum-mer. For your outdoor living room,

we’ve provided a sampling of garden decor products from fountains to freestanding fireplaces.

Besides yard knickknacks that are nice to look at, we’ve also sought out great gadgets for a smarter home. And in the dining arena, we’ve taste tested the coolest cocktails at our favorite restaurant bars and enjoyed a meal at the Poll Brothers’ hot new venture in Roslyn, Hendrick’s Tavern.

Our Good Life column will have you setting up the umbrella on the beach and canvassing the racks of suntan lotions at your local phar-macy or supermarket with SPFs of 30, 45, 70 or more. Sure, the dangers of too much sun have practically been grilled into us the last few years. But our fair-skinned essayist came out of the shade with a love story about having fun, safely, in the sun.

Enjoy the summer! Don’t forget the suntan lotion. And happy reading!

When a client seeks a design for not only the

principal residence but also all the accessory

buildings, Gallagher and his team coordinate plans

for the compound. They enjoy designing an entire

environment, which might include a guesthouse and

a pool house. The structures utilize many of the same

shapes and materials, roof lines tie into one another,

and the windows complement each other.

ARCHITECTURAL VISIONS: GARY GALLAGHER CUSTOM

DESIGNS ELEGANCEby Linda Tagliaferro

ARCHITECTS SHOWCASE

SHAWN ELLIOTT LUXURY 9

For Gary E. Gallagher, designing a home is all about focusing on the details and fulfilling clients’ wishes. Time and again, he has made dream homes come true.

The president of Gallagher, Homburger, Gonzalez, Architects, PLCC in Huntington, Gallagher has created blueprints for many luxurious residences on the upscale North Shore.

“We’ve worked on homes out in the Hamptons and other parts of the country,” he explained, “but primarily, we’ve done homes in the Gold Coast area.” Gallagher was born in western Pennsylvania but has lived in the Huntington area for most of his life. Even as a child he enjoyed sketching and designing. By the time that he entered high school, he had his heart set on pursuing a career in architecture. He attended the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury and cites his influences as Le Corbusier and Richard Meier as well as “a more recent generation of architects like Robert A.M. Stern and Michael Graves.”

Since the early 1980s, Gallagher has worked with Steven Homburger and Melvin Gonzalez, designing

luxe custom homes ranging from cedar-sided contemporaries to English Tudors and everything in between. Most of their architectural plans are unique and tailored to the homeowner and the specific site. More recently, tradition rules. Gallagher’s residences tend to be stately Georgian colonials with grand front entries and those “with a French manor-look with stone and very steeply pitched roofs,” he said.

What sets Gallagher’s architectural practice apart from the competition is experience. “Among the three of us, we have 90 years in the business. We focus on doing quality, high end design and servicing our clients in all aspects of the process from the initial zoning analysis all the way through to helping them with the interiors and other aspects of the projects.”

In order to develop a personalized design, from the start the architects spend a great deal of time discussing plans with their clients. Gallagher’s firm files for the necessary permits and helps clients select a builder, and assist throughout the construction process.

When it comes to specific plantings or formal gardens, Gallagher defers to landscape architects. However, once the garden plans are designed, Gallagher’s firm

makes suggestions to ensure that the landscape is coordinated and that the plantings complement the architecture of the residence. If an allée of trees is supposed to line the driveway, for instance, Gallagher weighs in on the selection of trees. “You’d want to pick ones that don’t block the design,” he said. “I’ve seen long driveways where there’s no opportunity to see the house until you’re right in the forecourt, and that to me is disappointing. As you drive, you want to get some glimpses of what’s ahead.”

Since he started in the field more than 30 years ago, Gallagher said that the industry has undergone a number of changes.

“There are multiple state regulations and zoning has become more and more stringent,” he said. “The processes of filing and approval have become more involved.”

More attention is also paid to the environment, with a focus on utilizing sustainable products such as cedar shingles coated with environmentally friendly stains. The products used for the homes they design are manufactured within a 500-mile radius.

But adhering to state regulations doesn’t mean that

there is no room for creativity in conceiving a home’s layout. Gallagher and his colleagues excel at integrating dramatic touches into clients’ homes.

“We do a lot of detail in these houses,” he explained. A recently completed residence features soaring ceilings with domes measuring 12 feet across.

“It’s common with this type of dome to include a chandelier and a great deal of moldings and trims that fit the style and budget of the client,” he elaborated. The

firm has also designed domes that have been painted to resemble azure skies.

He recently suggested a distinctive flourish to a client with an artist’s studio in her home: incorporating a painted ceiling depicting the fingers of God and Adam reminiscent of Michelangelo’s mural in the Sistine Chapel. “It could be an inspiring addition to her residence,” he explained.

When a client seeks a design for not only the principal residence but also all the accessory buildings, Gallagher and his team coordinate plans for the compound. They enjoy designing an entire environment, which might include a guesthouse and a pool house. The structures utilize many of the same shapes and materials, roof lines tie into one another, and the windows complement each other.

To achieve the best results for their clients, Gallagher and his team discuss all the possibilities. “Initially, we ask what’s on the client’s wish list without editing out what they think they can’t do,” Gallagher said. “Maybe they can’t accomplish the entire wish list, but we’ll sit down and explore all the different alternatives and see how close we can get to the mark.” SE

12 SHAWN ELLIOTT LUXURY

When Rosemarie DiSalvo designs interiors, sheprefers the clean lines and natural, unstainedwood tones of Italian Country style rather than thegilding typical of more ornate Renaissance stylefurnishings. Sometimes the high end interior designer opts forEnglish Regency style, tapping into its“rich mahoganyof reds and dark brown stain,” with inlaid woods andclean lines. Or if her client so desires, she’ll fashion aspace with classic Chippendale style furniture withtheir signature ball and claw legs. Her daughter, Annemarie DiSalvo, on the otherhand, takes an eclectic approach to interior design.With tastes and preferences that constantly evolve,she finds inspiration in everything around her “ aswell as other designers’ creative work.” She exploresdifferent design genres and time periods and mixesand matches them together to form a “pleasingpalette” and “unique personality” for each client’shome. “For example: A bold modern painting,ensconced in a gold leaf Rococo frame can hangmagnificently above an Art Deco console.” Though their styles are different, the mother-daughter duo (Rosemarie is vice president;Annemarie is president) combine their strengths as

founders and owners of DiSalvo Interiors, a 16-year-old interior design firm based in Carle Place thathandles residential and commercial interior designprojects from Manhattan to the East End. Most oftheir residential commissions are on the North Shoreof Nassau County.

As a design team they share a mahogany part-ners’ desk in their second-story office in a converted1880s firehouse. It is here where interiors are trans-formed from the mundane to the spectacular. Inte-rior design plans for kitchens and baths are spreadout on a grand onyx-top art deco table. Binderschock-full of fabric samples, wall coverings, woodfinishes and furniture resources line the shelves anda farmhouse table. Each year, the DiSalvos design the interiors of eightto 10 new 10,000-square-foot homes and handle adozen or so smaller redesign and decorating projects,Annemarie said. They also decorated a Europeanvillaoutside Rome that once belonged to the grandfatherof a client from Garden City and will be used as asecond residence. Among the latest trends, they noted, are deep

jewel tones of teal, orange and ruby along withmonochromatic grays, including gray wood tones,

driftwood finishes and metal. Traditional lines mixwith modern colors; patterns are starting to make acomeback; and marble countertops are gaining favorover speckled granite. By 9 a.m. each morning the DiSalvos are respond-ing to dozens of emails from clients, builders andsuppliers, and are “putting out fires” of a differentkind. “In construction, a million things can go wrong:molding is warped, a marble shipment is delayed,”said Annemarie, who studied interior design at Fash-ion Institute of Technology. Rosemarie, who learned the trade at C.W.Post/Long Island University near the end of a 23-year stintas a paralegal, typically takes on small design anddecorating projects. Annemarie tackles ground-upconstruction or major renovations. A third designer,Keith Mazzei, a design coordinator, and a bookkeepingassistant round out the team. Initially the firm was asmall furniture and design services boutique locatedfirst in Franklin Square, and later Garden City. “My job at the law firm was very rewarding, but my

daughter gave me the ability to go for my dream,”Rosemarie recalled. She has no regrets. “The businessis a blessing, and I am very happy we did it.” Two years ago, the pair decided to downsize the

retail portion of the business and expand their more popular interior design service. They moved the head-quarters of DiSalvo Interiors to its current location.

According to their website, some of their commercial redesign projects are for captains of industry such as Dean Witter in Manhattan, the Wall Street Regent Hotel and catering giant Leonard’s of Great Neck.

Annemarie visits three to five job sites every day. “I work with the builder to make sure projects are progressing and that the finishes are being installed properly.” She keeps a pair of UGG boots in her SUV just in case a worksite is muddy, snowy or drafty.

From the job site, she may drive to Manhattan or the Hamptons to meet a client to review architectural plans.

Her task is complex. Designing a space not only

involves dressing up a room with beautiful furnishings and stunning fabrics, Annemarie said, but also changing the structure, sometimes transforming plaster walls to stone, adding beams to a ceiling, moving or changing the shape of a window. Aspects of a room are not properly modified without striving to find the “best potential in every space.”

“When you know a client and what she wants, every area of a room should have a purpose,” said Annemarie, who caught the design bug years ago after viewing a spectacularly refurbished home in the Five Towns. “That purposed area can take the form of a corner with a reading chair or a fantastic piece of art that will make you want to wander over and ponder it or a window frame that makes you want to glance out that window.”

Drawing that information out of clients is made easier by asking direct questions. “I delve into who my clients are as a couple and as a family,” Annemarie said “I ask them how they live in the home, about their friends, if they entertain often and cook daily.”

Finally, she assigns homework, asking her clients to study design and decorating magazines to identify what they like and don’t like. “People know what they like but may not know how to express it. I want to visualize what’s in their mind.”

The finished design project is a collaboration. “I love to mix and push the envelope and explore someone else’s tastes and bring that out.” Annemarie says. “I’ll guide their tastes to the proper scale, blend the color palette correctly, but at the end of the day, it must be their thumbprint.” SE

GUILTY PLEASURES

In a world that embraces the brand new, sleek, digi-tal and mass-marketed, previously-owned, mechani-cal and limited-edition watches are luxury items thathave truly stood the test of time. With their precision, time-proven movements andcomplicated features, these watches — whetherstrapped to the wrist or linked to a chain danglingfrom a pocket — convey an appreciation of finecraftsmanship from another era. And depending onthe luxe brand name on their faces and the narrativebehind their existence, they may also represent soundinvestments. Some of the most sought-after, previ-ously-owned timepieces have appreciated as muchas 40 percent in value since 2008, according to Mat-thew Gross, who buys and sells previously-owned andnew watches at H.L. Gross in GardenCity, while his brother, Brad, specializesin bridal jewelry. “The collectors’ watch market is defi-nitely strong now and has gone upsince the recession, when people wereunloading them,” said Matt Gross, whohas been journeying to domestic andinternational trade shows and auctionsfor nearly two decades to buy and sellclassic time pieces. “Collectors can havethree to four watches or over 100.” More often than not, the collec-tors are men —- not women — whoare trading in a watch to trade up toan ever-scarcer and intriguing piece.“Men are drawn to mechanical time-pieces that are a bit more rare, andthey aren’t as concerned with fashion,while women are looking at watches from a stylepoint of view,” said Michael Edelman, director of Lon-don Jewelers’ watch salon. Women also tend to holdonto watches because of their sentimental value. Generally, watches most in demand among the col-lector set are those that not only possess a name withuber-cache, such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Vach-eron Constantin, and tout such features as a perpetualcalendar, chronograph and minute repeater, but arealso scarce. An extremely fine and rare 18-karat yellow goldPatek Philippe World Time watch, dating back to 1953,sold at auction in Switzerland for $1,190,500 Swissfrancs or about $1.26 million in U.S. dollars last May.

“Part of their value is that they will never be madeagain, and people view them as an investment,” saidGross. In contrast, a brand new Patek Philippe WorldTime watch currently retails for $47,000. About 18 months ago, a platinum Panerai watch,which featured a Rolex movement and see-throughcaseback, sold at auction for about $220,000, or ninetimes more than its selling price a decade earlier. Itsimmensely appreciated value was, in part, the resultof its limited-edition status; Panerai produced only 60of these watches in the 1950s, according to Edelman. A notable provenance can also add to a watch’sattractiveness to buyers and increase its worth. In2008, Eric Clapton’s 1971 Albino Rolex Daytona soldfor $505,000, while in May, a Rolex Submariner, onceowned by Isser Harel, who headed the Mossad, Is-rael’s national security agency, from 1952 to 1963,sold at a Geneva auction, for $263,748, which wasnine times its anticipated high estimate. The back

of the watch is engraved in Hebrewwith Harel’s name, as well as theMossad motto around the State ofIsrael emblem. The condition of a previously-owned piece’s case and the originalbox and paperwork that accom-panied it also enhances a watch’svalue. Yet a scratched crystal andfrayed strap do not diminish a rarewatch’s importance, since they canbe replaced, said Gross. Collectors aren’t alone in their pas-sion for distinctive timepieces. Rare,older watches have also capturedthe attention of the investment

community, and in January 2011, Precious Time, aLuxembourg-registered hedge fund, was launchedto take advantage of the escalating values of vintagewatches immune to fashion’s whimsy. In a year’s time, the watch hedge fund, which hasa physical inventory that includes an extremely rare1954 stainless steel Patek Philippe with a pulsationdial, has already registered a 12 percent increase inperformance, according to Miriam Mascherin, man-aging partner of Elite Advisers, which started Pre-cious Time. “In these difficult times, investors are looking fordiversification and good returns,” Ms. Mascherin said.“Investment in collectible watches combines enthu-siasm and excitement with sound reasoning andperformance.” SE

On a remote hillside tucked awayon the grounds of the exclusive VillageClub, a production assistant in an“ITALIA” soccer shirt bellows, “Picture!”Three crew members sitting on woodencrates munching spareribs fall silentas the cameras get ready to roll on ascene from the fifth episode of the hitTV series Royal Pains. The plot followsconcierge doctor Hank Lawson in theHamptons. (Spoiler alert: Sorry, East End lovers, the zombie episode was shot ina reconstructed barn in the Sands PointPreserve.) Contrary to what the script wouldhave its audience believe, Royal Painsis shot mainly on the North Shore. Infact, spotting those yellow and blacksigns that point the way to the RPset has become something of a phe-nomenon for the show’s cognoscentiwho post their sightings on www.onlocationvacations.com. Keeping upwith the peripatetic crew of some 300union crew members, make-up art-

ists, wardrobe mistresses, hairdressers,caterers, grips and sound engineersis not so easy. In just one week, Royal Pains set up shop at Bayville’s CrescentBeach Club, a sound stage at Colum-bus Circle in Manhattan, and now, TheVillage Club at Sands Point. The showstores many of its props at Gold Coaststudios in Bethpage where Man on a Ledge starring Sam Worthington wasshot last year. Royal Pains is not alone. On any givenweek, Law and Order: SVU, Damages,Person of Interest, and Gossip Girls setup shop in locations as varied as OldWestbury Gardens, Glen Cove, and evenNassau County Correctional Facilityin East Meadow. The new season ofMarried to the Mob films there and youmight be surprised to know that scenesfrom Scent of a Woman with Al Pacinowere also shot in one of this jail’s fourempty tiers. “Filming in Nassau County has gonethrough the roof. Last year, the direct

economic impact was $90-million,”says Debra Markowitz, Director of theNassau County Film Office in Mine-ola. “That’s really huge.” Although theNassau County Film Office has beencharged with attracting and retainingfilm, television and commercial indus-tries for the past 23 years, Ms. Markow-itz has observed some big changessince 2008. “During the recession,commercial work disappeared. It wasreplaced by TV series and larger fea-ture films,”she says. She sees the returnof commercials as “a positive indicatorof the economy turning around.” In neighboring Suffolk last year, film,television and commercial industriesbrought in4.7-milliondollarsof revenue.“That includes vendors, hotels, andsuppliers of food,” says Joanne Minieri,the Suffolk County Commissionerof Economic Development. Despitean influx of such television shows asDamages, Revenge, and Pan Am, manyvisually stunning Suffolk locations arejust too far from a given studio’s homebase. “The reason we shoot Royal Pains

in Nassau County instead of theHamptons is because we are lockedinto union regulations that state youhave to shoot within a 30-mile radius ofthe studio zone. Our home studio is atColumbus Circle,” explains Mike Fucci,location manager for Royal Pains. “AHamptons shoot would require that webudget two hours each way for traveltime which would shorten our workday by four hours. Or we would haveovernight housing costs for the castand crew.” The unions involved includeI.A.T.S.E. (stagehands and motionpicture technicians), the Teamsters, andLocal 399 of the Screen Actors Guild.Going back nearly a century, the 30-mile zone has been a big attractionfor some of Hollywood’s legendaryfilmmakers. In 1915, silent filmproducer Vernon Castle produced The Whirl of Life in Long Beach. The 1954Billy Wilder classic Sabrina, starringAudrey Hepburn and HumphreyBogart was shot in several locationsaround Glen Cove and Mill Neck. The1995 remake with Harrison Ford wasfilmed at Salutations, the former J.S.

REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE

HOLLYWOOD EAST: THE NORTH SHORE HAS A STARRiNg ROLE

by LAuRiE NADEL

The stars of the TV series Royal Pains on the set in Mineola included Mark Feuerstein, Henry Winkler and Paulo Costanzo.

a Ledge” set at Gold Coast studios, Bethpage (courtesy: Gold Coast Studios)

Morgan estate in Glen Cove. In 1954, Alfred Hitchock’s North by Northwest was shot at Old Westbury Gardens. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) starring Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor was filmed on the Coleman estate in Muttontown. “Knole” in Old Westbury, a 40,000-square foot home designed by Carrere and Hastings, the architects who designed the New York Public Library, was very popular with filmmakers. “It was really a time

capsule,” says Paul Mateyunas, author of “Long Island’s Gold Coast”(Arcadia, May 2012). With its two and a half story rotunda, Knole was the location for the original Arthur, starring Dudley Moore; Reversal of Fortune, Mickey Blue Eyes, Devil’s Advocate, and The Associate which starred Whoopi Goldberg. Falaise, the former Harry Guggenheim estate in Sands Point Preserve, was the setting for the grisly horse’s head scene in The Godfatherstarring Marlon Brando. When Sonny (James Caan) was gunned to death on “the causeway,” that scene was shot on an unused runway at Mitchel Field in Uniondale.

The grande dame of filming on the Island, both past and present, Oheka

Castle’s royal hilltop presence became Xanadu in the opening aerial sequence of Orson Welles’ 1941 classic Citizen Kane, considered one of the best ten films of all times. “For the Long Island film industry, when you need L.A.R.G.E. style and history, Oheka works,” says Ellen Segal, coauthor of “Monument to Survival: a History of Oheka Castle” (Arcadia, June 2012.) Built in 1919 by billionaire Otto Kahn, the 115,000-

square foot mansion fell into disrepair and was abandoned for more than half a century until developer Gary Melius bought it in 1984. “There was nothing here. The place was a shell,” says Melius, who has devoted his life to rebuilding the mansion. In addition to dozens of commercials, photo shoots, and music videos, Oheka has been the location of choice for The Emperor’s Club starring Kevin Kline, What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas with Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,and numerous shows on The Food Network. After opening with an aerial shot of the Hamptons south coast, Royal Pains cuts to Oheka’s main entrance. Most of the show takes place here.

Who scouts for just the right spot? The Island’s queen of locations for everything from Super bowl commercials to Lady Gaga videos to Person of Interest is Debbie Regan. She books boats, schools, factories, warehouses, and historic homes for shoots and has about 5,000 locations in her database, each of which rents for around $5,000 per day. Her own home, a 100-year old white Federal colonial built by the Whitneys

in Old Westbury was the set for The Oranges, starring Hugh Laurie and Allison Jannie. After the shoot, when one of the actresses wanted to buy Ms. Regan’s Schumacher silk drapes, the price offered was too low. “I decided to keep them,” she says. Debbie Regan Locations provided a house in Muttontown for The Good Shepherd starring Matt Damon and one in Old Westbury for the next Bourne Legacy feature.

The ups and downs of working with Hollywood stars have also led to some funny moments. When Alec Baldwin was shooting a baseball commercial, Ms. Regan recalls his attempt to improvise. “He jumped,” she says. “And the ceiling below just crumpled.” SE

SUMMER STYLE

Summertime, and the living is easy. School’s out. It’s the season to play. Fling open the

French doors and let the outdoors in.That carefree attitude is evident

in how we dress, how we dine, and how we entertain. The same summer spirit can also be reflected in your home. Small changes in décor can make your home feel cool, calm, relaxed and inviting—the perfect ambience for summer.

Modifications may be as simple as swapping pillows, using slipcovers or adding a tropical blast to a room with a hanging green or flowering plant. Or you can opt for a head to toe, custom designed summer home makeover. Here are some “sizzling” ideas from design experts on how to give your home a new look for summer.

Change the pillows and cushions: It’s one of the easiest ways to transform your home from a winter look to a lighter summery environment, said Mercedes

Courland, owner of Courland Designs. If, for example, a room is decorated in shades of gray, switching the accent pillows to bright yellow from burgundy totally changes the look. Colorful pillows in brighter colors—solids, stripes, floral or lightly printed—are perfect summer accessories. Even outdoor furniture pillows work well for indoor summer decorating.

Rotate accessories: “De-clutter” is the mantra for summer time, said Faith Rosenthal of the Long Island Design Center. The theme of “less is more” creates an airy feeling that makes a living space feel more casual. Out with the heavy knick-knacks and in with fun, beach, and summery ones that are lighter and easier. Debbie Ubertini, a designer at 406 West Home Furnishings, suggests clear glass, seashells, lanterns and candles to accessorize during the summer. Glass picture frames and porcelain vases also give a lighter, more casual feeling.

Add different lighting: Changing the lighting can make a big difference in a room’s atmosphere, said Rosenthal. A new lampshade on a table top—with a brighter color or a lighter fabric—brings a seasonal flavor to a room.

Switch the bed linens and towels: It’s a season to lighten the weight of fabrics and add softer or more cheerful colors.

Courland suggests putting that chenille spread in the back of your closet, and replacing it with a cotton or silk duvet—perhaps in bone, or white on white, accented by coordinating pillows for a monochromatic look, or with contrasting ones in bright yellow, orange or citrus green. Try also mixing and matching towels—combining white with splashes of bright color.

Summer is a perfect time to be creative.

That might mean replacing your wall

art with posters of fun, sunny prints,

watercolors of sunsets, photographs

of beach scenes at different times

of the day, or bright and whimsical

abstracts. Whether posters or

original works of art, these changes

may add to that summery feel.

Soothing SummerDécor

By Linda Saslow


Change the window treatments: The heavy drapes were perfect for winter, but not the right feeling for the summer. Rosenthal advised hanging up a pole with lighter panels of linen, silk or another sheer fabric. Different window coverings will make a dramatic change in the entire room.

Introduce lighter pieces of furniture: Awicker loveseat, a pair of wicker chairs, or a wicker coffee table brings a casual, airy ambiance to any room, and will blend with almost any décor. Switch out your coffee table with two ceramic Chinese urns turned upside down. Or try bringing a favorite outdoor piece inside—giving any room a more summery feel.

Transform tabletops: Simply by changing the accessories on your kitchen or dining room table, you can create a new summer look, suggested Courland. Try using lighter colors and flowery placemats and napkins, or adding a splash of color with a bowl on the kitchen table filled with bright red and green apples or colorful limes and lemons..

Connecting with the outside surroundings also adds sizzle to summer décor. Even if you don’t have the urge to

tend a summer garden, fresh flowers and lush green plants or an herb container garden easily bring the feeling of outdoors inside. Flowers can be arranged in creative ways— perhaps in a pitcher, a mug or even a teacup.

Change the wall art: Summer is a perfect time to be creative. That might mean replacing your wall art with posters of fun, sunny prints, watercolors of sunsets, photographs of beach scenes at different times of the day, or bright and whimsical abstracts. Whether posters or original works of art, these changes may add to that summery feel.

Be naughty: The designers agree -- summer is the perfect season to break the rules. It could be as simple as introducing un-matching pillows, breaking up pairs of lamps, and mixing and matching towels. Or it could be a more dramatic change like painting one wall of a room a daring and unexpected shade of turquoise or lime, or adding an over-sized whimsical abstract print to a wall of your living room for a blast of summer cheer.

Victor talbots:

Victor Talbots, the couture fashionestablishment in Greenvale, personifieselegant menswear. But many wonderwhether there really is a man behindthe name. Indeed there is. Just ask any savvygentleman who has been fitted therefor a tuxedo, had their clothing madeto measure or shopped for fine menssuiting with labels like Brioni, Kiton orRalph Lauren Purple Label . Victor Talbot Scognamiglio is avisible presence in the clothing storethat bears his name. While he wearsmany hats—including those ofdesigner, buyer, marketing director,image consultant and chairman—atleast half of his week is spent on thefloor beside his sales team. “I want to hear what my customers

think,” said Victor. “I am privileged tohave an audience who appreciateunique things. And to be effective, youhave to be hands on.” The legendary business, now locatedin a historic building on Glen CoveRoad, was founded 28 years ago as anat-home shopping service. “I always had a love for clothing,” saidVictor, now 51. “In college, when I gotmy first job at a formal men’s shop, Irealized that I had a knack for businessand I recognized the importance ofdetail.” After graduating from college, Victor

got his first job in finance but longedto start a business of his own. Formore than a year he moonlighted onweekends, calling prospective groomsand selling them elegant evening wear

for their upcoming weddings. When Victor learned of the financecompany’s plans to relocate to Oregon,he took it as a sign: it was time to turnhis dream into a reality. With a loan of$20,000, a van and one tailor, he starteda traveling menswear company. VictorTalbots was born. By word of mouth his business grew.Several years later, Victor opened hisfirst shop, committed to providing anenvironment befitting his designs.

“It’s like a restaurant,” said Victor. “Youcan have the greatest product, but if theservice is lacking, you’ll never go back.” Loyal customers have recognized the

quality and integrity of the fashions,and have appreciated the expansionof Victor Talbots to include outerwear,accessories, shoes, and more casual

attire. Beyond the made-to-measurecustom clothing department and theusual personal shopper, Victor Talbotsoffers a concierge service that analyzesyour closet and helps to create anupdated wardrobe. “Our customers like to see continuity,”Victor said. “A man likes to know thatthe same salesman who sold him his BarMitzvah suit can now sell him a tuxedofor his wedding.” Mark Zelniker, of Syosset, has been aVictor Talbots customer for more than20 years, relying on the expertise ofDarren, his favorite salesman. “He knows what works, and hehas great taste,” explained Mark, whobought his first tuxedo for his son’s BarMitzvah, and has since brought both ofhis sons to the men’s boutique to sharethe experience. “I would never think ofworking with anyone else,” he said. “ Imay pay a little more, but it’s worth it.” The business has recently expandedin several new directions—launched itsown shoe line and fragrance, and willsoon add a salon equipped with shaveand shoe shine. A new E-commerceventure, GroomStars—a shoppingservice for grooms--is a joint ventureamong several vendors and as Victorexplains, “a way to stick our toe in thewater.” There is no stopping Victor Talbots.“You constantly have to re-inventyourself and stay current,” Victoremphasized. Then there are the younger customerswho need more affordable fashions.“There is an entire generation of 19-21 year olds, who have never put on asuit or tie,” Victor explained. “We havepartnered with Hugo Boss and J Brandto create an experience for this youngergeneration and to open up the playingfield for them. As they get older andmake more money, they will hopefullygrow into our label.” With one of his three daughtersinterested in joining the business, Victoris now looking at a space in downtownManhattan, with plans to open a secondVictor Talbots in the near future. “I’m proud of my products and I lovewhat I do,” said Victor. “It’s not work, butan extension of my enjoyment.” SE

Cool it fast! The VinPodium HC04. A Rapid Wine Chiller. $80 @ Smarthome.com

Restful channels. The Pillow Remote Control. $29.99 @ Brookstone.com

ENTERTAINING A SMALL GROUP OR

GEOMETRIC NAPKIN RINGS—IN FAUX PEARL AND WOOD—CAN MODERNIZE

Thanks to electronic devices that measure, manipulate, and monitor various components of our residences, our control over our home environments is ever increasing. Whether promoting our comfort and well-being or playing a part in our in-house entertainment, the wired world is making its mark in our daily living with the arrival of smart new gadgets.

From a scale that tracks your weight loss progress to a remote control masquerading as a plush pillow and more, here’s a sampling of new electronic devices to enhance your home and your lifestyle.

Chill Out

Did you have your heart set on a soothing glass of wine after a hard day’s work, only to discover that you forgot to chill the bottle? The VinPodium HC04.A Rapid Wine Chiller brings wine, champagne and other spirits to a palatable temperature in minutes as opposed to hours. It typically takes just 3 minutes to bring Bordeaux or Shiraz to the mid-60 degrees Fahrenheit, Beaujolais or Rose to the mid 50s Fahrenheit in 6 minutes, and champagne or sparkling wine can reach a frosty mid-40 degrees in 13 minutes.

Plug in the unit, and then add ice cubes and water. Lift up the neck of the machine, and place your bottle of wine on the support base. Adjust the timer to the suggested amount of minutes. Press the start button and cool water flows around the bottle. When the unit stops, you lift up the neck, remove the bottle and you’re ready for that perfectly cool glass of wine. Cheers!

The VinPodium HC04.ARapid Wine Chiller. $80. Available at smarthome.com.

Sleep on This

Everyone knows that TV remote controls have an innate ability to teleport from one room to another, to migrate to the tightest dark space at the bottom of your couch or to disappear inexplicably without a trace, only to reappear after your favorite show has finished. For everyone who has ever mourned the sudden loss of yet another electronic device, help is on the way.

The Pillow Remote Control is always in plain sight, so you won’t have to miss even one whiskey-swilling moment of “Mad Men” trying to locate the gadget. Shaped like a regular pillow, this electronic device-cum-head-support features all the typical universal remote control dials on one side. When you’ve finished flipping through channels, flip over the pillow

and it’ll quietly blend into your living room’s décor. Best of all, you can control up to six home theater components at once. And another bonus: you won’t have to put on your reading glasses to find the large, easy-to-click fabric buttons.

Powered by two AAA batteries, the device comes with an auto shutoff feature that stops all remote functions after one minute of inactivity.

The Pillow Remote Control$29.99. Available at Brookstone.com

Weight Staff

If you’re looking to track your weight, percentage of body fat and BMI, your first instinct might be to hire a staff of doctors and personal trainers. But owning a Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale is a little bit like having your own staff of weight management professionals on hand.

This super-scale taps into your home wireless network and uploads all your fitness information to a private account whenever you step on the scale. On Fitbit.com, you’ll track the progress of your weight loss online. A graph provides a visual indication of how you fare with your weight, body fat percentage and BMI (body mass index) over time.

Need someone to keep you on track with your goals? You’ll earn weight achievement badges whenever you lose 5, 10 or 20 pounds. Like-minded, weight-conscious people are part of the Fitbit.com community and you can share ideas and statistics with them, or let your friends hear the good news via Facebook or Twitter. And don’t worry about your friends and family sneaking an online peek at your weight: you’re in charge of how much and which data that gets shared.

Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale$129.95 at fitbit.com

Sensory Perception

Even when you’re away from your home, you can quickly check the temperature, find out whether there’s a problem like flooding in your basement, or get an alert if you forgot to close the garage door, all with a new, easy-to-use product.

TWINE is a 2.5” square, wireless module that works in tandem with a cloud-based service. Through multiple sensors, infor-mation about your home environment is relayed to you via e-mail, Twitter, text messaging and more. For instance, a sen-sor that monitors vibrations could notify you that the door to a specific room in your house has been opened or that the television has been turned on while you’re away.

All you have to do is type in simple “if/then” commands like, “When such-and-such a button goes down, then text: ‘Turn on the A/C in here.’” SE

LUXURY COCKTAILS

Mixology is reaching new heights. With a cocktail forevery season, every occasion and perhaps every mood,bartenders and mixologists are creating cool new signa-ture drinks.

Though classic drinks like Manhattans, Tom Collinsand Gin Slings are perennial favorites, cocktail culture hasevolved beyond the once trendy, pretty in pink appeal of“Sex in the City” Cosmopolitans and oh-so-green AppleMartinis. With the recent tide of colored and flavored tequilasand a Baskin-Robbins assortment of vodkas including va-nilla, cookie dough, citron and raspberry, cotton candy,and even PB&J -- yes, peanut butter and jelly ---all sorts ofcreative new cocktails are worth a shot. For health-conscious imbibers there are drinks madewith Van Gogh’s acai blueberry vodka or ruby red, tartand sweet pomegranate liqueur. For dessert, think Go-diva’s dark chocolate liqueur, double espresso martinisor a splash of Smirnoff’s Fluffed Marshmallow vodka onthe rocks with S’mores. On the North Shore, summer siesta cocktails to beatthe heat also include classic mojitos and magnificentmargaritas. LUXURY taste tested cocktails in four of the NorthShore’s hottest restaurant bars. Here’s what we found: A sign behind the bar at Besito Mexican Restaurantand Agave Lounge in Huntington reads, “All good tequilarevives the brain, warms the heart, uplifts the spirit andoverhauls the machinery.” From shooters to sippers to savours, the bar offersmore than 75 different tequilas -- all from, you guessed

it- Mexico, to tempt your palette or quench your thirst . Next to a bucket of cut fresh fruit, Maya Moore, a bar-tender at Besito for two years, deftly squeezes limes andmuddles mint preparing drinks. “The most popular is the Besito Patron Margarita,”Mooresaid, made with top shelf liquor and organic ingredientsincluding pomegranate-tangerine juice infused into theclassic cocktail. At $11, it’s a tangy, tart treat made with Pa-tron Reposado, Cointreau, pomegranate-tangerine juiceand fresh squeezed lime and served in a weighty, hand-blown old-fashioned glass. At 83 calories, Besito’s Partida Natural Margarita ($13)is the skinny girl’s Margarita of choice. Made with Partidablanco tequila, fresh squeezed lime and agave nectar, itsall-natural ingredients won’t spike blood sugar. As the te-quila menu advises, “Enjoy them slowly and respectfully.” Dock your yacht at Prime, An American Kitchen & Baron Huntington Harbor, and head for the Cabana Bar by theBoardwalk or the Fantail Deck, an outdoor deck with a largeround gas firepit and Adirondack-style lounge chairs. On the hottest days and nights, cool down with theperfect sinful delight, Prime’s Sweet Tea Lemonade ($14),made from Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, homemade lemon-ade and sour mix. Bartender Amanda mixed up this mostpopular sweet drink serving it in an extra tall glass. You can also never go wrong with Prime’s PineappleMojito, a delightful, cool mix of Malibu pineapple, mud-dled mint and lime and fresh pineapple. More urban bistro than typical strip mall joint, Bar Frit-es at Wheatley Plaza in Greenvale is part of the brothersGeorge and Gillis Poll’s growing ensemble of upscale hap-

pening restaurants on the North Shore. The covered out-door dining area and the bar inside are packed, possiblybecause as a patron from Roslyn, Heidi Tullman, put it, “thedrinks are to die for.” Among the speciality cocktails at this Northern Frenchrestaurant are the Madeleine Margerita ($12), a swirl ofPatron Tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime juice and, agavenectar; the Blueberry Martini ($12) with Stoli BlueberryVodka (good for the memory, perhaps?) and freshlemonade, Our pick, a Pomegranate Martini ($12), ismade with Absolut vodka, PAMA Pomegranate Liqueurand pomegranate juice. Cocktails go hi-tech at Blackstone Steakhouse, theposhly-outfitted Americana lodge style restaurant inMelville. Though the bar area is uber-sized, an iPadmenu makes it easy to navigate the numerous high-end specialty drinks or that perfect wine from theiraward-winning 850 bottle collection. Served in a tallglass, our favorite, the Blackstone Margarita ($15) is theperfect blend of sweet, salty, sultry delight. The recipeincludes Don Julio Bianco tequila, fresh blood orangepuree, Triple Sec, sour mix and a salted rim. Another winner is the Bellinitini ($15), a martini with

style. Savor it on Blackstone’s newly designed outdoorpatio, opened on Memorial Day weekend. It’s a blend ofCiroc peach vodka, fresh white peach puree, and splashpeach Schnapps with a Champagne topper. For paradiseon Long Island, this is it. SE

HOT SPOTS: THE MANY (ALL BUSTLING) FACES OF BEIJING

By M.C. SUSSMAN


Beijing, the political, educational and culturalcapital of the most populated nation in the world,the People’s Republic of China, is a rapidly evolving,bustling portrait of change. Broad boulevards and ultramodern skyscraperssprawl across the city, sometimesreplacing the traditional hutong neighborhoods ofadjoining alleys lined with old-fashioned single storycourtyard residences that played an important partof Chinese cultural history during the Ming and Qingdynasties. Throngs of Chinese, nearly all holding cellphones, stand or squat on street corners, waiting fora break in the endless the swarms of car, bicycle andscooter traffic on the concentric yet rectangular “ringroads” that circle the metropolis. Part of Beijing’s latest incarnation is as a modernshopping mecca stocked with the best American andglobal brands. The Peninsula Hotel lobby, for instance,has Chanel, Hermes, Prada, Gucci and other luxurybrand shops that gives it the feel of a “mini AmericanaManhasset,” said Shawn Elliott, President and CEO ofShawn Elliott Luxury Homes & Estates, who stayedthere on a recent trip to the Chinese capital. To hisdelight, in the area were also Rolls Royce, Maseratiand Lamborghini dealerships and upscale shoppingmalls that seemed be three miles long with many ofthe same retailers you’d find at Roosevelt Field or WaltWhitman mall as well as many Chinese brands. Shawn was in Beijing to speak at a luxury real estateconference about the benefits of living on Long Island

and in the United States and to participate on a panelon “what you can buy in New York for $10 million ormore.”He gave a powerpoint presentation to real estateagents, investors, buyers and immigration agents onhis top 25 properties. Recently there has been a largeinflux of wealthy Chinese buyers on the North Shoreof Long Island and across the United States, drawn atleast in part by the ability to have larger families andthe fine local schools, Shawn said. While in China, Shawn’s favorite tourist jaunt wasto the Great Wall, which was built between the 5thcentury B.C. and the 16th century A.D and has foot-high steps that are “almost like a Stairmaster.” For therecord, he completed four levels. He visited TiananmenSquare and the Forbidden City, palaces and temples.Not to be missed were the traditional Chinese silk,

antiques, clothing and night markets. Along the way Shawn practiced the Mandarinhe’s been learning via Rosetta Stone, the foreignlanguage software. He took rides on rickshaws pulledby bicyclists and newer models towed by motorbikesand was awed by the overwhelming amount of car,bicycle and scooter traffic on boulevards so wide theymake New York roads seem small. At the center of the city, the vast TiananmenSquare is the largest public square in the world, andthe site of 1989 massacre of student activists by thePeople’s Liberation Army. Around the square aregrand, voluminous buildings such as the Great Hallof the People, the Museum of Chinese Revolution,the Museum of Chinese History, the Chairman MaoMemorial Hall and the Monument to the People’sMartyrs, the Qianmen Gate and the Forbidden City. The must-see palace of palaces is the ForbiddenCity. Set in a green oasis that was once the privategarden of Ming and Qing emperors and now abeautiful public park, it seems worlds away from thebustling boulevards and crowded markets. Home to the Imperial Court, it was relativelyunscathed during the cultural revolution. Thefootpaths are lined with willow trees and there areBuddhist temples by the lake. Separately, the Templeof Heaven, the symbol of Beijing, is surrounded by apark where locals drink tea, practice calligraphy or taichi. Further away is a newer landmark, the National

TRAVEL

Stadium or Bird’s Nest from the 2008 Olympic Games. Among the remains from the medieval city is the Ming Dynasty Wall Site Park, the only remains of the city wall.

Beyond sightseeing, dining in Beijing was a unique experience. At restaurants, the dishes just keep coming, though with the language barrier, it’s sometimes hard to know what you’re eating. Beyond familiar outposts of fine restaurants like Nobu, Zuma or Maison Boulud, Shawn described dining at Dadong Roast Duck Restaurant as “a tremendous experience.” The lean, headless ducks hang from black hooks, ready to roast in the restaurants’ brick ovens until the skin is crisp and the meat is melt-in-your-mouth tender.Think of it, Shawn said, as “a Peter Luger for duck.” SE

Because five of their seven restaurants are within a three mile radius on the North Shore, restaurant kings George and Gillis Poll work

hard to give each an identity to call its own. At the swank Americana at Manhasset, the Poll

Brothers own Toku, a modern Asian restaurant. On the other side of the luxury destination shops is their Italian restaurant, Ciopollini. (The Poll Brothers‘ casual lunchtime counterpart, Ciopollini Pronto, is steps away, the place for a quick wrap, salad or bowl of roasted tomato soup, with indoor and outdoor seating.) Just down the road in Roslyn is Bryant & Cooper, their signature steakhouse. At Wheatley Plaza in Greenvale, Bar Frites, a French bistro draws an affluent suburban crowd to both the covered outdoor seating and inside the restaurant. They also own Majors Steakhouses in Woodbury and East Meadow.

The most recent addition to Poll Brothers’ success-ful squadron of sophisticated restaurants is Hendrick’s Tavern in Roslyn on the landmark site of the old George Washington Manor. The first president dined there in 1790 when it was Hendrick Onderdonk’s estate, hence the name. Onderdonk also owned the Roslyn grist mill and the paper mill.

“We had to be creative in having a concept that was different from the others,” Gillis Poll said. Unlike their other restaurants, Hendricks Tavern has event spaces, including a catering hall on the main level that accommodates 150 guests with dancing and a cocktail party-style lounge beneath the ballroom for private events. One of the two upstairs private function rooms upstairs accommodate s 35 guests; the other can hold 70. The ballroom overlooks a pond.

At their other locations, “people would ask us if we could do birthday parties or business functions but it would be 30 to 40 people and we couldn’t do it,” Gillis

HENDRICK’S TAVERN: THE POLL BROTHERS NEWEST VENTUREBy M.C. SUSSMAN

“WE HAD TOBE CREATIVEIN HAVINgA CONCEPTTHAT WASDIffERENTfROM THEOTHERS,”gILLIS POLLSAID.


The wood-paneled walls in The main dining room are covered wiTh black and whiTe phoTographs from The broThers’ “eclecTic personal collecTion”

added. The extra rooms for private parties made the historic home “attractive.”

They “revamped this place from head to toe in every which way,” Gillis said. Part of that renovation was the addition of a main bar to the restaurant, while keeping the “George Bar” which has numerous paintings of the first president on its walls. The tavern’s cozy living room has a fireplace and provides lounge seating beyond the main bar. It’s next to another dining room known as “the porch.”

The wood-paneled walls in the main dining room are covered with black and white photographs from the brothers’ “eclectic personal collection,” George

Poll said. Seating along the walls and windows is on comfortable deep red banquettes; tables and chairs fill the center of the room.The ceiling is beamed and the original wide plank floors remain in the main dining room and the George Bar.

Hendrick’s Tavern offers the same dry aged and prime steaks as Bryant and Cooper, a raw bar, arti-san pizzas, tapas or small plates such as lightly fried panko-crusted avocado or king crab legs, appetizers including a Maryland crabcake or a sashimi-style Ahi Tuna Poke, salads, pastas and a wide selection of fish including Chatham Cod, grilled Branzino and seared Norwegian salmon. Sides range from lobster fried rice

to sweet potato mash -- made with cinnamon and sugar -- creamed or sauted spinach.

For dessert, check out the white chocolate cloud cake that is reminiscent of an oversized Ring Ding and the bountiful fruit platter with pineapple, grapes, melons and berries.

During an interview, the Poll brothers declined to name a favorite dish. “They are all our favorites,” George Poll said. Like their customers, choosing a dish depends on what they are in the mood for. “It’s a steakhouse but it’s a variety of things.” A bit bigger than a neighborhood bar, Poll called their newest endeavor “our take on the American tavern.” SE

With a commanding hilltop view of the surrounding paddocks and me-ticulously landscaped gardens, this

five-acre Tuscan-like estate in Mill Neck is para-dise found.

A sparkling gem in the North Shore’s crown, the 15,000 square foot stucco and stone European country castle has a massive turret to the front with a smaller turret to the back.

The splendor starts at the round entry forecourt. A large urn planter on a pedestal surrounded by abundant flowers grace its island. Above the arched double entry doors exquisitely detailed with wrought iron is an elegant Juliette balcony with a matching railing.

Inside, the foyer is spacious and elegant yet warm and welcoming, with gleaming marble floors, a coffered ceiling and extensive moldings.

Straight ahead, through the formal living room, are French doors leading to a bluestone balcony wrapping the main floor with access from nearly every room. Skirted by fanciful wrought iron rail-ings, the broad balcony overlooks the dreamy

FEATURED PROPERTY


resort-like backyard, with a classic pool and spa, two waterfalls, outdoor kitchen and liv-ing room, and terraced gardens beyond. A shady terrace on a hillside provides a quiet space to enjoy the outdoors. To one side of the house is an elevated vegetable garden with built in irrigation.

Down a distant slope, a 10-stall state- of-the-art stable, designed for race horses, fits neatly onto the splendid equestrian property.

The inside is equally captivating. To one side of the foyer, beyond a double-sided fireplace, is an elegant home office with full bath. To the other side, the large formal dining room has oak floor and a ceiling medallion. Be-yond it is the spacious country-style kitchen with creamy white cabinetry and matching granite laced with gold tones on an expan-sive center island and a built-in brick pizza oven. Across from it, a curved breakfast room with two stories of windows overlooks the grounds. Curled off the kitchen is a double-height family room of regal proportion, ac-cented by a limestone and marble fireplace.

The grand staircase winds gracefully to the second floor, with a balcony overlooking the family room. The master suite includes an ad-jacent nursery to one side and a sitting room with a fireplace and a private balcony to the other. Inside the castle-sized turret is a round library with a vaulted gold leaf ceiling, a per-fect getaway space to curl up with a book. The family bedrooms are spacious suites, each with its own bath. The house has a laun-dry room on each level.

A grand staircase also winds to the cavern-ous lower level, outfitted with all the must have bells and whistles, from a 1200 bottle wine cellar to a large built in bar, a lounge like movie theater and a gym. In the spa, there’s a locker room, a large steam shower and a sunken, glass enclosed bubbly, effervescent Jacuzzi. Sip a glass of merlot as you soak and watch the flames flicker in the imposing stone fireplace or watch a movie on a large screen television above the fireplace.

This two-year-old palatial home has six fireplaces, six bedrooms, seven full and two half baths, an in-law suite, staff quarters, and an elevator. All the floors have radiant heat. It is a treat not to be missed. Price Upon Request. Ben or Marion Matros (516)647-7488. SE
