Michael Musto (born December 3, 1955) is an American journalist and a former columnist for The Village Voice, where he wrote La Dolce Musto. He is the author of Downtown and Manhattan on the Rocks as well as a compilation of selected columns published as La Dolce Musto. His subsequent collection, Fork on the Left, Knife in the Back, was published on September 1, 2011, by Vantage Point Books. He was laid off from The Village Voice on May 17, 2013.
[on the Pavilion on Fire Island] This past summer, I went to the Pavilion for low tea with cable star, Robin Byrd, her husband, and some friends. It was so hot the dogs were sticking to the boardwalk. And it was even more broiling inside the Pavilion because of the intense body heat and the lack of any kind of overpowering air-conditioning system. But Byrd started performing a flag dance, waving the banners around like mad, and she got so aggressively into it, I wouldn't be surprised if she was still doing it as we speak.
