John Brown reigns as the true Kansas City -style bites BBQ. Find a seat in the back and settle in for a serious shindig. Find city folk ordering perfectly done meats served with a thick and rich barbecue sauce. Rib tips and burnt ends are juicy, tender, and sumptuous when paired with baked beans studded with bits of smoked meat or killer mac-and-cheese that is appropriately bright orange, creamy, and sparked by black pepper. An order of the corn pudding is a must, and nicely caps off a meal here. Fingerlicking is an inevitable end. JohnBrownSeriousBBQ.com

The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons celebrated their 12thAnnual GET WILD! Summer Gala at Joan and Bernard Carl’s Little Orchard Gardenon Coopers Neck Lane in Southampton. The event honored Jay Schneiderman, Southampton Town Supervisor and Susan McGraw Keber, East Hampton Town Trustee, and welcomed distinguished guests to celebrate the united efforts to rehabilitate animals and successfully release them back into the wild across Long Island.
The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center, Eastern Long Island’s only wildlife hospital, is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the rehabilitation of wild animals impacted by encroachment of humans on their habitat. It is a grass roots organization that grew from a few concerned friends to a group of over 3,000 members and supporters. The center is a full-time professional wildlife hospital staffed by licensed rehabilitators, biologists, animal behaviorists and volunteers. Over 300 people have been trained to assist in wildlife rescues. The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center is located on Munn’s Pond Park through a cooperative licensing agreement with Suffolk County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation. The center is situated on a greenbelt of public land parcels totaling several thousand acres and stretches from Tiana Bay to Peconic Bay located on the eastern end of Long Island, NY. This is a unique and irreplaceable ecosystem consisting of salt and fresh water wetlands, Pine Barrens, deciduous forest and meadowland. Thus, it is the perfect setting for a wildlife rehabilitation center. The hospital is designed exclusively for wild animals. Unlike a veterinary hospital, there are no ambient noises or smells to stress the wildlife that are recovering within. The Wildlife Rescue Center receives more than 10,000 calls each year for information or assistance involving wild animal encounters. The center also provides educational programs to local elementary and secondary schools. Students from local colleges participate in cooperative education programs and internships. The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center annual operating budget exceeds $650,000, almost all of which comes from generous donors. WildlifeRescueCenter.org

In honor of Bastille Day, also known as French National Day, Courvoisier will honor its French heritage with a unique cognac experience at the Lower East Side’s Dirty French that brings to life Courvoisier’s history, quality credentials and grape-to-glass process. Courvoisier.com
IF YOU DON’T STAND FOR SOMETHING, YOU DON’T STAND A CHANCE.
A code makes sure your ascent is guided by something bigger than hunger and ambition.Something bigger than yourself.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR CRAFT AND THE WORLD WILL TOO.
In the early 1800s Courvoisier founders Louis Gallois and Emmanuel Courvoisier had a simple goal: making the world’s best cognac. The medals, accolades and even the recognition from Napoleon Bonaparte himself were simply a product of that.
TO REACH GREAT HEIGHTS YOU NEED DEEP ROOTS.
We were born in the streets of Paris and even though we relocated to Jarnac, a small town in the heart of the Cognac region, we take pride in bringing that Parisian sensibility to every corner of the world.

We would love to have you attend our sneak peek of Hooters first-ever weekend brunch. The demand for brunch came from many of the people that go in and out of the city on summer weekends to the Long Island and Jersey beaches.
This is an invitation-only press preview tasting (and drinking) that we thought would be a good kick-off to the Memorial Day weekend. The brunch will debut to the public June 2 and 3 and be available Saturday and Sunday only. Menu entrees range from an affordable $6.99 to $13.99. Individual drinks are priced per drink. For a flat $24.99 they are offering “all-you-can-responsibly drink” for two hours.
We had the pleasure of meeting Chris Kerson, who is playing opposite John Travolta in the feature film “Gotti” out June 15th. Seen in photos with daughter Emma.
