Summer camp left some fond memories.
Floating down lazy rivers. Co-ed squirt-gun battles. Secret recipes for mind-altering bug juice.
All of it makes you want to go back and do it again.
In Las Vegas. This weekend.
Introducing Summer Camp Fridays and Nectar Music Festival Saturdays, two new parties to grace the Hard Rock’s reckless, glorious Beachlife scene with aquatic gaming and aging rappers, launching Friday.
If you’re here, you’re probably familiar with the term “four-day weekend” already. In which case, you know the great ones share one common bond: structure.The plan: Friday, you’ll storm the 200,000-square-foot fake beach with Super Soakers and water-balloon grenades (think: Saving Private Ryan meets Showgirlsmeets Meatballs). Don’t hesitate to flag a staff member wearing counselor garb (beige polo, whistle, visor) in case you forgot how.
Saturday, you’ll hear a live, weekly-rotating concert series that should answer the “Where are they now” question pretty definitively. On stage: Snoop Dogg, the B-52s, Collective Soul. And you’ll do it from your private cabana while a personal masseuse works your shoulders behind closed curtains.
Grueling business, we know. So you’ll wind down with the Hard Rock’s usual end-of-weekend routine: Rehab Sundays followed by Relax Mondays.
Rehab can be so stressful.

Maison Kitsuné

As of today, Tribeca season is on.And that’s great.
But inevitably, it makes you think of Cannes. And when you think of Cannes, you think of… loafers.

Well, you do now.
Introducing Maison Kitsuné, an airy house of classic French rakishness tucked in the corner of the NoMad Hotel, now open.
Close your eyes and picture Sinatra on holiday on the Riviera. He’s probably wearing something like the stuff you’ll find here. In other words, stuff you can work with.
As you walk in, you’ll be confronted by a cream-piped tartan blazer that’d probably work best when you’re collecting your beachside baccarat winnings. Beyond that, the place is pretty much a giant, light-filled version of a walk-in closet. Just a couple racks of anchor-pattern button-downs, laid-back chinos and striped cotton polos, all hung according to color.
The two-toned loafers beneath: they’re exclusive and ready to cement your position as the Hamptons’ leisure champion.
After you’re squared away on the attire front, the rest of your vacation preparedness kit will come together with some of the handsome Montreal-made canvas totes and leather briefcases perched behind the register.
And those mix CDs you passed on the way in: they’re from Kitsuné’s record label and feature tunes chosen by the guy behind Le Baron.
You knew it would all end with a record label.
