The Season has not yet arrived in Montauk, so we imagine that things are pretty quiet over at Solé East and sister prop Solé East Beach. But down in SoFla? The Season is in full swing, baby, and whaddayknow, the Solés have another sibling—Solé On The Ocean.
Info on the boutique hotel in Sunny Isles is kind of scant--in fact, we had never heard of it until we were leafing through one of those luxury-lifestyle vanity magazines that proliferate in these parts.

We hear Montauk has been jumpin' this summer (much to some longtimers' dismay), and after seeing pictures of the Bing Summer Music Series at Solé East, we sure as hell wish we'd been out there every weekend.
Call us fussy but we're not really muddy music festival types. We prefer to wear flip flops over Wellies, and we'd like to kick said flip flops off as we lounge on a big cushion and gaze at Pete Yorn as he strums his guitar in an intimate show like this one.
Sadly, we missed his performance at Solé East on July 4th weekend, as well as Rufus Wainwright and Jenny & Johnny (below).

Where do you go once you've made a name for yourself putting hotels in previously dubious areas or buildings and making them the hippest spots in Manhattan? Why, it's obvious: The Hamptons. Or in the case of Sean MacPherson, he of The Bowery, The Jane, and The Maritime Hotel fame, you head to Montauk.
That's where our favorite J.Crew modeling, Gossip Girl-cameo-ing hotelier just bought his latest property, The Crow's Nest Restaurant and Inn. (A word of warning before you click on the website—prepare for the sounds of seagulls and breaking waves.)
