16 GUEST COLUMNS
National affairs correspondent Steve
Israel reflects on Long Island diners as
the suburban village square. And Nancy
Rauch Douzinas of the Rauch Foundation
urges lawmakers to lay the groundwork
for more affordable housing.
20 THIS MONTH
New York State voters will decide
whether to hold the first constitutional
convention in a half century,
which is either a great or terrible idea,
depending on who’s asked. The status
of the $50 billion Sandy aid package
remains opaque five years later.
28 REAL ESTATE
The Sands Point home once owned
by the late singer and TV personality
Perry Como is on the market. And
a Roslyn couple re-imagines their
empty nest with the help of Annette
Jaffe Interiors.
36 FOOD & DRINK
Mecox Bay Daily in Bridgehampton
wheys in on why raw milk cheese
tastes better, an ode to The Sidecar
– the beverage, not the vehicle – the
Wursts have the scoop on the best
Italian and cider, a conversation
with the folks at St. James Brewery,
plus where to get free stuff on your
birthday.
48 BETTER YOU
Why your diet needs more foods with
omega-3s and less with omega-6s.
Also, five products to help you achieve
a healthier self.
58 DESTINATIONS
Once a whaling town, the North
Fork’s Village of Greenport is now a
cultural hub with museums, art galleries,
breweries, wineries and one of
the nation’s oldest restaurants. Also,
the beach is pretty great.
65 COVER BOYS
Brian and Michael D’Addario, the
multi-talented siblings from Hicksville
better known as the breakout
indie darlings The Lemon Twigs,
are back in their home studio after
their debut album “Do Hollywood”
took them on a world tour. They just
dropped their latest, Brothers of Destruction,
last month.

68 BUSINESS
Why Long Island likely won’t get that
planned Amazon HQ, a Q&A with
1-800-Flowers CEO Chris McCann,
an ex-Wall Street whiz finds happiness
by trading stocks for memorabilia and
recalling Arthur Minasy’s pioneering
anti-theft clothing tag.
78 LISTINGS
An incredible array of entertainment
and cultural events are on tap this
month, plus a guide to pumpkin
patches, where to find haunted houses,
Oktoberfest events and more fall
festivals.
84 REAR VIEW
A look back at the life and, some say,
death of the ultimate comic con artist,
Great Neck native Andy Kaufman.
PAID INSERT
Proponents of a constitutional convention
for New York have a paid
advertorial insert in this month’s
edition. It does not necessarily reflect
the views of the Press editors.
