Join Hip-Hop legend, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and co-founder of the pioneering rap group Public Enemy, Chuck D, in conversation with NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo on Sunday, November 19th at the Canoe Place Inn at 5 pm, as they reflect on hip hop’s rise from the street corner to the world stage and into one of the world’s most prominent cultural influences.

The global influence of hip-hop culture has shaped music styles, fashion, technology, art, entertainment, language, dance, education, politics, media, and more. Hip-hop continues to be a global phenomenon, developing new art forms that impact the lives of new and old generations. Chuck D is the leader and co-founder of the legendary rap group Public Enemy and a social activist, multimedia producer, visual artist, and digital music pioneer. As part of Public Enemy, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 and has earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

His “naphic grovel” trilogy STEWdio was the debut release on his Enemy Books Imprint with Akashic Books. He is also the illustrator and author of Livin’ Loud: Artitation (with the near DEF Experience.) His latest “naphic grovel” takes on how America is held hostage by gun violence in Summer of Hamn.

Chuck D and Chris Cuomo’s conversation on the 50th anniversary of hip-hop promises to be a riveting exploration of the genre’s impact on culture and society. As they reflect on the past five decades of hip hop, we can anticipate an engaging discussion that delves into the genre’s past, present, and future, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of a cultural revolution.

Hamptons Doc Fest celebrates its 16^th year with an enlarged seven-day festival of 30  enlightening documentary films, screening November 30 to December 6 in Sag Harbor, at both the Sag Harbor Cinema and Bay Street Theater.  

“Our 2023 documentary program promises you the power and experience of quality storytelling that surprises us, makes us think and feel, and connects us with wider ideas and concepts,” says Jacqui Lofaro, founder and executive director of Hamptons Doc Fest. “Plus the festival provides us as always with a festive, celebratory opening to the holiday season.”

Opening Night Film at the Sag Harbor Cinema on Nov. 30 features “In the Company of Rose” directed by James Lapine, about widow Rose Styron’s life with novelist William Styron, while Frank Marshall’s “Rather” about newscaster Dan Rather closes the festival at Bay Street Theater on Dec. 6.

The line-up includes films about artists, musicians, dancers, fashion and photography, nature and the environment, biography, history and human rights.

“Among the many award-winning films and talented filmmakers we have invited to our festival,” states Hamptons Doc Fest artistic director Karen Arikian, “we are honored to recognize the stellar career of Matt Heineman with our Pennebaker Career Achievement Award; Artemis Rising Foundation with our Impact Award to Regina K. Scully; and new this year, our Legacy Award, given posthumously to filmmaker Nancy Buirski. We are also thrilled to be showing Wim Wenders’ “Anselm”—shot in 3D—about artist Anselm Kiefer, as well as to warmly welcome master filmmaker James Ivory with his film “A Cooler Climate.”

An annual tradition, the festival also presents its Young Voices Program on Dec. 6 at Bay Street Theater to hundreds of local middle and high school students, where award-winning filmmaker Roger Sherman will conduct a hands-on workshop after the screening of a short film “Rocks 4 Sale!”

Montauk’s iconic Memory Motel is partnering with NYC and East Hamptons’ party hot spot Common Ground for an East Village popup bar now through New Year’s Eve. The two-level bar is located on the corner of 13^th Street and 3^rd Avenue. The bar will be open Thursday – Monday, now through December 31^st. 

Paying homage to its original location in Montauk, the space has been transformed to create the rowdy beachside dive bar feel that resembles the space that served as inspiration for the Rolling Stones hit song “Memory Motel.” Anyone who’s partied at the original Montauk spot will find familiar DJs and staff, in addition to its staple drinks served in plastic cups (after 9PM), drinks without fruit (don’t ask for a lime!), and a painting of the iconic Montauk Memory Motel on the side of the building. This popup will give NYC residents and visitors a taste of Montauk fun during the New York winter.

The bar menu will feature classic bar snacks like nachos, wings, burgers and “Weenieville” hot dogs. For game days and events, guests can order food towers. Kicking off each weekend, bargoers can enjoy Thursday trivia and Thursday night football and end their weekend with Memory Mondays.

“I think it’s the perfect time for Memory Motel to enter NYC,” said Brian Kenny, owner of Memory Motel. “People are excited and ready to have high energy fun without having to spend stupid money on bottle service they don’t have. I’m looking forward to making some new friends, and seeing some familiar Montauk faces. Memory Monday industry night is going to be insane – I can’t wait!” 

“It’s been a long time coming for Memory Motel to open its doors in NYC so that we don’t have to wait all year round for those (not so memorable) Memory Motel nights,” said Chris Reda.

“Your new favorite dive bar is open for business. NO Reservations. NO Fuss. NO Fancy Door Lines. Just a cover and a good time. Meet us at the Memory Motel.”

Experience the ultimate night out at the Memory Motel Pop up, located at 103 3rd Ave. New York, NY.
