Lido Restaurant at The Surf Club Earns Top Rating from Gambero Rosso


Lido Restaurant at The Surf Club has been awarded the highest rating of three forks by Italy's premier food and wine rating group, Gambero Rosso. This accolade follows the recognition of Marco Calenzo, Executive Chef of Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, as Chef of the Year by the same Italian institution. Established in 1986, Gambero Rosso is a global authority on Italian cuisine and lifestyle.

Gambero Rosso praised Lido for its authentic Italian flavors, exceptional service, and expertly curated wine list. Their review highlighted dishes such as saffron risotto, steamed sea bass, langoustine carpaccio with caviar, and a standout spaghetti pomodoro. Signature dishes include the unique Ricciola cacio e pepe.

Calenzo, who joined Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club nearly a year ago, has brought a fresh perspective to classic Mediterranean dishes, focusing on Italian cuisine with Japanese influences. The new Crudo Bar at Lido offers an elegant omakase experience with six and seven-course journeys.

Lido Restaurant at The Surf Club serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, with reservations available via
Open Table.

Historic Pride Beach Bash Kicks Off Summer Sundays Series Highlighting Love and Inclusion

The 2024 Summer Sundays series, presented by the Tourist Board, launched with a vibrant Pride Beach bash, the Town's first ever LGBTQ+ event separate to the Pride flag raising.

Held on the shores between 92nd and 93rd Streets on June 9, families and friends gathered for a joyous celebration featuring live music by Lotus Collective and Los Alchemists, lively beach volleyball, and bubble soccer.

Guests enjoyed refreshing cocktails from Drake's Organic Spirits, savored healthy bites, and powered up with blender bike smoothies. Beachgoers relaxed under Shibumi Shades, received skin safety tips from SJI Dermatology, and engaged in creative art activities, a free book swap, and festive rainbow tattoos.

To commemorate the celebration and celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Surfside residents and hotel guests received special Surfside T-shirts featuring the Pride Beach logo. The event marked a fun and exciting start to the Summer Sundays series, blending entertainment with tolerance, inclusion, community spirit and beachside enjoyment.  Please join us for the next event on Sunday, July 7!

 SURFSIDER IN SURVIVOR

Surfside's Ben Katzman Rocked "Survivor 46"

Surfside's own Ben Katzman may not have walked away with the million-dollar prize on "Survivor" season 46, but he certainly made his mark. The charismatic former music teacher captivated audiences with his positive energy and surprising strategic chops.

Katzman, known for his "shredding" guitar skills and infectious enthusiasm, defied expectations. Initially pegged as a colorful character, he navigated the complexities of the game, even overcoming night terrors brought on by the harsh conditions. He even secured the win in the final immunity challenge, guaranteeing his place in the final three.

However, despite his impressive gameplay, the jury ultimately chose a different path. Regardless of the outcome, Katzman's "Survivor" journey resonated with fans in Surfside and beyond. He proved that determination and a positive spirit can take you far. Congratulations Ben!
