My Joint Birthday Party With Harry Slatkin
A few weeks ago, I went out to dinner with my good friends, Harry Slatkin, the fragrance tycoon, and his wife, Laura. We chose a new restaurant in Montauk, the far-east end of the South Fork of Long Island. Its name is Navy Beach, a beachfront restaurant and bar serving casual coastal cuisine in a laid back, family-friendly setting. While dining, we looked around and said, “Wouldn’t this be a great place to have a birthday?” And so we started planning. Harry and I never celebrated our birthdays together before, but it seemed like a fun thing to do. Dinner consisted of everyone’s favorite comfort food, including iceberg wedges, butter poached lobster rolls, buttermilk fried chicken, truffled macaroni and cheese, seafood and chips, parmesan French fries and a several-layer chocolate cake. Harry! What do you think? Should we try it again, next year?

Susan, my publicist, was so happy to see this blog and she wanted me to add on the photos that she had in her camera from this fun-filled birthday celebration. Some of them may be repeats, but that's okay. Enjoy!
