Life just got a little more luxurious in the city. Dior has just opened their first US spa in none other than New York City. And you know they’re not here to play. Dior teased us with wellness pop-ups: the Dioriviera takeover at Gurney’s Montauk in 2022, sun-soaked cabanas at The Beverly Hills Hotel, and a spa residency at Aspen’s Little Nell. But until now, Dior has never had a permanent location in America. While we’re grateful for the morsels,…
It took eight years and several billions of dollars, but the legendary Waldorf Astoria New York has finally reopened. On July 15, 2025 the Park Avenue landmark – widely considered to be New York City’s most iconic hotel – welcomed its first guests since its closure for renovations in 2017. The transformation is all-encompassing: the lobby, the rooms, the event venues, the restaurants, and even the spires have been refurbished to make the 1931 property shine bright again. A Respectful…
Saying that there are many restaurants in NYC is like saying the ocean has a few drops of water. By some estimates, there are around 25,000 restaurants in the city, and it would take over 20 years to try them all. But you don’t want to try them all. You want to try the best ones only. To do just that, you can reduce the pool of contenders by focusing on the 72 Michelin-starred New York City restaurants. You can…
There are hotels that make a city a destination to visit. That’s not to say that Boston doesn’t have its own virtues. We’ve never met so many people who can talk Revolutionary War. And tea parties. But with Raffles in residence, it’s a reason in itself to make a trip. Atmosphere I had not been to Boston for over twenty years, and the city has come a long way from lobster rolls and clam chowder. My means were more modest…
The Viewpoint Hotel sits quietly on the edge of York’s coastline, facing the Atlantic with an unbothered kind of confidence. And sure enough, if New England luxury had a front-row seat to the ocean, The Viewpoint Hotel would be the VIP lounge. This boutique retreat is tailor-made for those who appreciate the finer things (that’s you). It’s the kind of place where fog rolls in like a local and the Nubble Lighthouse feels close enough to touch. The rooms are…
Summer is waning out. The days are shorter and the temperatures are slowly but surely dropping. But it’s not over quite yet – there’s one last hurrah to be had: Labor Day weekend. It’s your final chance to celebrate the glory of summer by taking one last swim in the ocean, and enjoying one more al fresco dinner. To do Labor Day right on the East Coast, you have an abundance of options, but few beat a stay in a…
Lather, Rinse, Socialize. That’s the mood at Remedy Place, the self-described “social wellness club” that’s just opened in Boston’s Seaport—and yes, they brought a foam bath with them. Not a euphemism. A literal, bubbling, body-enveloping cloud of nutrient-rich foam, designed to detox your skin and your social calendar at the same time. Because apparently, sitting with your friends in a steam room full of foam is what wellness looks like now. And we’re not angry about it. The Social Club…
Sometimes you just want to get your Americana on. When that inspiration strikes, Litchfield Hills is your spot. Located in northwestern Connecticut, Litchfield isn’t the Metro-North suburbia you think. With winding backroads, white clapboard churches, and stone walls, this is where fields that turn golden during sunset magic hour. About two hours from New York City, it’s a scenic drive if you avoid Friday rush hour. So no airports, no train schedules, and no TSA line behind a guy unpacking…
Naxos isn’t just postcard-perfect beaches and whitewashed charm — it’s also a rising star on Greece’s culinary map. In 2025, this laid-back Cycladic island is serving up everything from seaside cocktails to farm-to-table feasts in the hills. Think fresh seafood straight off the boat, local cheeses, and cozy tavernas. Whether you’re wandering old town alleys or watching the sunset from a beach bar, Naxos is full of flavors worth the ferry ride. This is where to eat, drink, and love…
Like most good things, SHA Spain began as a solution to a problem. The founder of SHA, Alfredo Bataller Parietti, dealt with numerous health complications. Through the power of a nutritious diet—combined with Western and holistic medicine— Parietti successfully recovered from what once was considered an unsolvable diagnosis. In 2008, he opened the doors of the wellness clinic SHA Spain. The goal is to help people live longer, and live more fulfilling lives at their optimal state of being. Not…
