You Should Know: Stephen Alesch

Skimming through a list of all the restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, homes of note du jour is basically a flip through the portfolio of Roman and Williams. The smudged-nouveau aesthetic of next-big-thing restaurant Le Cou Cou, the modern Gatsby allure of The Boom Boom Room, Gwyneth Paltrow's Tribeca Penthouse. GWYNETH PALTROW'S TRIBECA PENTHOUSE! One can only imagine how beautiful, magazine-worthy the design duo's Montauk beach home is.

5 Favorite Hamptons Places: My garden, the beach by my house, my kitchen, bluffs of shadmoor, johnnys burgers in montauk

The craziest thing I've done out East is... Drop in on a local during a good swell

Best kept Hamptons secret? Never actually go to east hampton between memorial day and labor day.

If you had one day left out East, what would you do? Watch the sunrise from lighthouse, swim from the lighthouseo to shadmoor, build a big bonfire on top of the bluff - dive off the bluff.
