THE PARLOR AT LMF brings a new kind of social space to Bedford, where mahjong, games, and a thoughtful mix of events create an easy, ongoing reason to pull up a chair and connect. And everyone’s invited! ESTHETICS EMBASSY: After a career in international diplomacy, including time at the United Nations, Lydia Bubanja stepped away from global policy and into esthetics, building a practice in Pound Ridge boasting Biologique Recherche products and a distinctly personal approach to skin health. BEKA TENNIS ACADEMY: From a childhood in Tbilisi to a career spanning professional sport, film, and the arts, Beka Sikharulidze brings a unique perspective to his tennis academy at Vista Indoor—where his precise, disciplined approach reflects a lifetime spent studying performance, both on and off the court. JADEY: After a cancer diagnosis in the prime of her life, Michelle Reiss set out to create the resource she couldn’t find - launching HelloJadey.com as a thoughtful, experience-driven platform for women navigating cancer in real time.
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. A passion defined by instinct, risk, good taste, and an ever-evolving collection of rare automobiles, each restored, driven, and woven into the story of their life together.
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.
BRAQUE AROUND THE BLOCK: One of the preeminent private collectors of Georges Braque, Régis Krampf brings both his remarkable collection to the Bruce Museum and his next chapter to Pound Ridge. Régis offers a rare and close-up look at the artist known as the Father of Contemporary Art.
ART BLITZ: A former scientist turned multidisciplinary artist, Monique Allain brings her globally shaped perspective to Waccabuc. Art Blitz is her dynamic, collaborative exhibition series that blurs the line between process and presentation, inviting the community into an evolving, real-time creative experience.
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:

Alex Coco is the newest of New Canaan’s homegrown heroes! In 2025, at the age of only 33, Alex won the Oscar for being the Producer of the feature-length film Anora, which won the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Film Editing. Anora also won the Palme d’Or, the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, in spring of 2024. “The whole experience has been a whirlwind...a real magic carpet ride!
