Into the Pines Kitchen contains 200 recipes from 100 contributors, including Pines notables Scott Bromley, Gilbert Parker, and Hal Rubinstein. As a nod to bygone days, the book also features a posthumous contribution from John Whyte, one of the Pines' founders. The book includes original photography of the island from Pines artists William Karam, Mark Lonsbury, and Barbara Sahlman. •More About this Book»

Just thinking of Belvedere, the exotic dream palazzo and clothing optional men's guesthouse, rising on the east end of Bayview Walk in Cherry Grove, inspires the notion, what a perfect place for a party! Divine Decadence was a concept that had some currency several decades ago, when the "Cabaret" film with Liza Minnelli reminded people about the Weimar Republic and Bette Midler was appearing at the Continental Baths. The phrase may require revival next month when Belvedere, the Baña Pool Party, party giver Paul Short, and the rentboys.com dancers collaborate on producing "Baña Belvedere: the Last Days of Pompeii," a benefit for the Cherry Grove Doctor's Fund, during the September 11 to 13 weekend.
The centerpiece of the weekend promises to be the Vesuvias Erumpo party from 4 p.m. to midnight on Saturday, September 12, with shows at 4 and 10 p.m. Enjoy music by DJs Billy Beyond and Gustavo and visuals by Larry Shea and Stephen Kent. Expect to be dazzled by performances from the Dazzle Dancers, offering their interpretation of "Goddess," from "Showgirls;" the 'beadazzling' Leopatra; and Narcissister. Narcissister amazed us last month, at one of Daniel Nardicio's parties at the Ice Palace, when she came to the stage nearly nude, but for mask and huge Afro wig, and pulled a full outfit, piece by piece, out of goddess knows where.
Three hundred tickets are available and all price levels include clothes check, beer, vodka cocktails, and access to the pool, Jacuzzi, bayside lounges, and dance floor. General admission is $100. VIP tickets, for $200, include full open bar, access to VIP areas, and massage. Features of a weekend pass, sold for $300 and included with all room rentals, are additional poolside parties on Friday, from 8 p.m. to midnight, with the rentboy.com dancers, and cocktail parties 'frozen drink frenzy' on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 'mimosa madness' on Sunday at 11:30 a.m.
