The sailing capital of America takes the Fourth of July to a whole 'nother level, so naturally we had to witness this famed patriotic madness. After three days of concerts, beach parties, and a certain hotel's grand opening bash, we definitely need a vacation from our vacation. More»

While most of you were either broiling in the NYC heat or waiting in line at some Hamptons club, a handful of intrepid New Yorkers made the trek up RI Route 138 this past weekend. Not knowing what to expect they packed heavy (for beach time, BBQs, and a few flashy cocktails) but kept the vibe light and easy. So here it is, your first Dispatch from Newport in 2010. More»

This is a 505 sail boat.  It is one of the most complicated boats to sail.  With just a little bit of help, I took one out for a spin yesterday in Newport's beautiful waters (that's me out on the trapeze harness).  Here's some more things I learned from my weekend in Rhode Island:

* 3 oz Barrit's ginger beer
* lime wedge for garnish if desired.

"The world was buzzed out on luxury, and the actresses took couture and put an eccentric street spin on it."
