With Christmas right around the corner, you may want to be inspired, or at least entertained, by some of the weird stuff that people do to celebrate. What do we mean by weird? We mean a country where the meal of choice is KFC — as in fried chicken. But that may be better than herring (sorry, Norway). This is a roundup of global holiday traditions. Country: Scandinavia Tradition: Christmas Stockings We have to admit, we had to dig deep,…
Just when you thought it couldn’t get more festive this holiday season, Fouquet’s, of Champs-Elysées Paris fame, arrives in NYC. It’s not uptown though, but instead paves its way as a luxury hotel in Tribeca. This doesn’t mean it’s not bringing the elegance of the Parisian outpost, or the macaroons for that matter. This is the first look at Fouquet’s and why it’s worth a stop this holiday. Paris Arrives in NYC There’s now officially a true luxury hotel in…
If there’s places to vacation that are essentially utopia, Switzerland is gunning for the top spot. It doesn’t matter if you ski or just mastered the art of après ski (seriously, that takes real talent). No matter where your skills are on the spectrum, there’s something that is universally take-your-breath-away about Switzerland’s famous Alps. Where there is beautiful scenery and beautiful people. And, you know, beautiful people don’t like to rough it. These ski resorts in Swiss Alps are destinations…
There are few things in Midtown that excite us — like count-on-one-hand excitement. But we may just need another slot for the arrival of Le Rock, with prime views of the holiday tree. If you think about it, though, Le Rock may have just been destined for greatness, as it’s the brainchild of the guys from Frenchette. This is the Le Rock review, of a restaurant we hope stays forever in Rockefeller Center. Overview It’s not often that a place…
There’s no question that Aspen brings the glamour. And when it’s ski season, it’s all about the scene. Where else can you get a little too much champagne sprayed in your hair at Cloud 9? But as much of a scene as Aspen is, there are parts that make it still the same small town. Add restaurant Ellina to what keeps Aspen real, even in the heart of the season. And don’t get us started on the pasta. Ellina is…
Some people get better with time. So we gotta give props to Taylor Swift, who just crushed it this year. And we mean crushed it as in making history: she took all top 10 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 with her latest and arguably greatest album yet. In honor of Taylor’s birthday, and the bada– she is, these are the places where you can see her around town. Because we’ll all have what Taylor’s having. Since around 2016 (the…

You are an insider and have spent your time in NYC wisely — from the time you moved here in your 20s and knew every bouncer from Bungalow 8 to the Pink Elephant. You’re so dialed in, you’re considered friends and family to the guys at Carbone, and you can always score a prime table next to Kendall and Gigi (who, by the way, are just the sweetest). Staying on top of what makes this city so darned special is…
Do you remember the days when television was essentially just ABC, NBC, Fox, and CBS? We’re dating ourselves, but it feels like just yesterday. So when a show like Full House was a success, that meant a lot of us watched it. But the Olsen twins took their roles to the next level and were the only billionaires to come out of the cast. Here’s where the Olsen twins travel. After 12 or more years off screen, the Olsen twins…
Whether you’ve been naughty or nice in 2022, it’s that time of year when you drop some coin on gifts for friends and family. Yes, the annual pajamas or slippers are always a thoughtful touch. But what if you got a little creative? This gift guide is inspired by travel.
