CLASSICS: What began as a teenager with a kit car has evolved into a decades-long pursuit for Bob Torre - and turned into a shared passion with his wife Renee.

MAY | JUNE ‘26: Travel
There’s something quietly restorative about a weekend away - just far enough to break routine, slow down, and reset. We take a four-day weekend in May at the Marram in Montauk, where early-season calm, ocean air, and an unhurried pace make for a delightful escape.MAY | JUNE ‘26: Homes
Built in 1780 as the first homestead of the Mead family, Elmdon is a pillar of Waccabuc charm. Set on open land and thoughtfully restored to retain its original millwork, fireplaces, and character, the estate offers a refined take on historic country living.An Update on local charities:
Our apotheosis comes when we can help focus attention and draw contributions to locally-related charities! It’s B&NC Mag’s best and highest use! And I’m pleased to report that B&NC Mag’s coverage and support results in gains for each of the locally-focused charities we’ve featured.Read our update on two fantastic organizations we profiled last year.
