One of our favorite benefits returned for a wonderful evening of philanthropy and fun. The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation’s 18th Annual Hamptons Happening took place over the weekend. It’s one of the Hamptons’ most-anticipated summer social events. The benefit was once again, hosted on the beautiful Bridgehampton estate of Kenneth and Maria Fishel. More than 300 guests attended and more than $400,000 was raised for cancer research.
The Hamptons are set to get an exquisite culinary experience with the opening of the restaurant El Turco. El Turco East Hampton is the result of a casual meeting between one of El Turco’s founders and Frank Cilione, the longtime operator of the dual restaurant and nightlife venue on Three Mile Harbor Road in East Hampton. Soon thereafter, Mr. Cilione hired the original El Turco founders Nurdan Gur Yuzbasioglu, Gokhan Yuzbasioglu along with developer and visionary Cagri Kanver to assist in realizing their collective vision. With that being said, expect delectable dishes. Created with high-quality meats, fine imported spices, and local seasonal ingredients, each dish on the menu is based on reimaged classic Turkish recipes by the culinary team led by Mr. Yuzbasioglu and talented Executive Chef Guney. Many dishes originate from the Aegean and Anatolian parts of Turkey, as well as special selections from the Mediterranean and South-Eastern region.

The pizza in New York City is arguably some of the best in the world. When given the opportunity to attend a grand opening of the big apple’s latest pizza spot, we couldn’t resist.

The first is location is on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, this new spot is on Hudson Street between Perry and West 11 streets. The new location features a robust menu of pizzas in both traditional square pies and by the slice along with an impressive art collection of murals, NFTs, and graffiti art that celebrate NYC.

New York City is somewhat back to normal after the pandemic shut the city down. The hustle and bustle of the busy city are seeing some normalcy again with the opening of various attractions, including the largest Star Wars exhibition, called The Fans Strike Back.
I recently stopped by a VIP preview of this exciting exhibition. I will willingly admit, I’m not the biggest Star Wars fan but what I discovered is that you don’t have to be in order to enjoy this experience. Though some general knowledge of the franchise would be helpful.
