The Hamptons is synonymous with luxury. Simply mentioning the name conjures images of poolside soirées, grandiose waterfront estates and endless days on the beach socializing with the upper echelon. But before this famed peninsula became the summer haunt of the glitterati, its forty miles of rolling sand dunes provided the perfect landscape for English settlers. Once New York high society caught wind of the charming hamlets and salty air, its members - from the Fords to the Vanderbilts - soon turned The Hamptons into a summer oasis. Next came the creatives seeking solitude, a place to write and sketch, away from the urban cacophony. John Steinbeck in Sag Harbor. Jackson Pollock in the Springs. And Andy Warhol in Montauk. Now, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Calvin Klein, Madonna, Alec Baldwin and Martha Stewart all enjoy Hamptons homes. They may come from different realms, but what's one thing all Hamptonites, honorary or official, can agree on? The locale boasts a unique allure - one that morphs to meet the desires of its next seasonal guest or lifelong dweller. Hamptons Private invites readers to peek behind the manicured hedges in Amagansett, charter a yacht off the shore of the Springs, experience the surfer's haven that is Ditch Plains and attend a polo match in Bridgehampton. Each page envisions the quintessential leisure of The Hamptons and showcases the unique quality of light that artist Willem de Kooning dubbed a miracle. One can almost hear the thwock of tennis balls at The Meadow Club, the whisperings of exclusive parties, the rhythms of seaside music at The Surf Lodge - even the first bite of a lobster roll at Lunch. The Hamptons, at once a retreat to nature and a hot spot for A-listers, exudes a boho-chic spirit reflected in its beautiful people and sublime surroundings.. 312 pages. Over 200 illustrations.

The Italian region of Tuscany is a feast for all senses. A creative incubator that has cultivated art and architecture for eras including Etruscan, Roman, Renaissance and modern times. Timeworn churches, once stops on nineteenth-century Grand Tours, stand tall in the towns' piazzas.

For a bespoke suit, one goes to Savile Row. For the contemporary art scene, Soho. For the royal treatment, Buckingham Palace.

A sense of calm permeates the city of Kyoto, situated in the western heart of the island of Honshu, in the Kansai region. From gardens to temples, from cherry blossom trees to wooden architecture, the natural beauty of Kyoto is always showcased. This tranquil identity is also reflected in the simplified approach to cuisine, which champions the pure flavor of top-quality ingredients.

The parades of elaborate floats, called yamaboko, are art exhibitions in motion, presenting the exquisite local craftwork.

Developed in close partnership with the trio behind Major Food Group, CARBONE includes over a dozen recipes from the restaurant that have never before been shared. Along the journey, anecdotes and recollections from the founders and the restaurant's inimitable cast of characters provide readers a captivating inside look at what it takes to create a New York City legend. It's an early spring day in downtown Manhattan, and Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi are back on the block where it all began over a decade ago. Here at 181 Thompson Street, the newly formed trio harnessed the energy Rich and Mario generated nearby at Torrisi Italian Specialties to revive a culinary style that few chefs with their pedigrees would typically deem worthy of their dedication. In short order, The New York Times would conclude that the three friends had managed to bring back the punch-in-the-guts thrills of a genre that everybody else sees as uncultured and a little embarrassing, while exposing the sophistication that was always lurking there. Ten years since its founding, Major Food Group's CARBONE is a New York City institution: a destination that draws endless crowds, makes constant headlines, and lights up historic Thompson Street every night with the warm red glow of its iconic neon sign.

Arms outstretched, gaze slightly downward, covered in millions of soapstone tiles, and placed atop a pedestal, Christ the Redeemer stands watch over Rio de Janeiro from its perch on Corcovado. With Brazil's Guanabara Bay in the distance, the statue keeps an eye on the fabled beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana. Passionate, dynamic, colorful, Rio is a city that is bursting with a zest for life. This energy is palpable during the numerous celebrations and events that have taken place in the city, including the Summer Olympics, two World Cups, Carnival, and more. Rio de Janeiro is home to the expressive dance of the samba, which perfectly embodies the high-tempo rhythms of the city. Whether it is the sound of a record by bossa nova pioneer João Gilberto or the reverberations of a massive Madonna concert on Copacabana Beach, Rio does not cater to those looking for peace and quiet. Beyond the musical output, the city is also a major influence in the world of design, inspiring the likes of Oscar Niemeyer and Roberto Burle Marx. Then there is Copacabana Palace, a true icon of the Rio landscape and the hotel of choice for members of the jet set for the past century. This and more pop off the pages of Assouline's Rio de Janeiro, with local insights from Bruno Astuto.. 304 pages. Over 200 illustrations. Released early February 2025. Measures approx 10 W x 13 H.
