Manhatta Good for: After-work drinks with friends, date night, and small bites with the best view in town. It’s worth making a reservation ahead of time if you want to secure a seat – the restaurant is divided into two sections (drinks and bites in one, and three-course meal in the other), and it’s first come first serve for both. Atmosphere: Sophisticated, but lively. It’s cool, it’s modern, and it’s on the 60th floor of a downtown skyscraper. The floor-to-ceiling…
The more places you travel to, the more places you have to compare. But there are a handful of destinations that stand out way above the rest. We’ve outlined our top 20 destinations for this year. If you make it to all of these locations this year, you’re crushing it on every front. Actually, if you make it to even half of these top 20 destinations, you’re still crushing it. Here are the best of the best: 1. Hotel du…
Do you remember how as a kid, and you’d read fairy tales that took place on beautiful faraway islands, with mesmerizing lookout caves on never-before-seen cliffs? Do you remember wondering if these places actually exist? Well, they do, and we’re sure of it. As a grown-up, you can visit Santorini – and that’s as close as it gets to that fairy tale setting. One of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea, with cliffs hanging above an underwater caldera crater,…
There are many things that come with being a seasoned jet-setter. Being organized (we know you’re a packing guru), being spontaneous, being able to adjust to last-minute changes – those are all great traits to have. But being armed with knowledge about travel paperwork and the most updated international travel requirements – that’s essential. Rest assured, we have you covered. The State Department recently tweeted about a crucial change to the European travel policy for American citizens. Although this won’t…
Ladybird Good for: Healthy girl’s dinners, third or fourth dates, and casual small groups who are up for a vegan meal. Atmosphere: If you were to characterize the décor, it’s proudly, unabashedly feminine, though with equal opportunity for everyone to enjoy a plant-based meal. Ladybird is just pretty – from the moment you spy the discreet sign outside its East Village locale to the green and pink interior. We love it when a restaurant owns who they are, and Ladybird…
New York – the city that never sleeps. If you’ve ever lived or stayed in the Big Apple, you know that New York has an unmatchable unique energy. Broadway, fine dining, busy streets, and a diversity of people unlike anywhere else. But sometimes, the hustle-and-bustle of this high-rise town leaves you wanting to slow down a bit, if even just for one weekend. Thanks to Bobbi Brown (yes, the Bobbi Brown) and her husband Steven Plofker, you now can, because…
*NOTE: Our hearts go out to the Sri Lankan people, for the recent tragic events. Our feature on Sri Lanka ran earlier this month, and we are devastated that something so terrible could happen in a place so beautiful, genuine and kind. We know that one day, and we hope soon, that peace will be back in this beautiful place. There are two types of personalities. As Type A’s, some of us are perfectionists in many ways (although self-aware enough…
Although beauty is supposedly a subjective notion (in the eye of the beholder, some might say), when it comes to the land of the Kiwis, beauty is objective. It’s on everyone’s unanimous bucket list. The cliffs, the rolling hills, the mountains, the backdrop for The Shire, the Land of The Long White Cloud – it really doesn’t matter what you call it, or which part of New Zealand you’re looking at. It’s all simply majestic. The Farm at Cape Kidnappers…
It’s one thing to stay in-the-know for grand hotel partnerships or style collaborations. But it’s a different thing entirely to witness one of the finest luxury hotels in Africa partner up with one of the most refined shoe brands of Paris. The Royal Mansour Marrakech hotel has announced the release of two new babouche slippers by Christian Louboutin. These babouche Louboutin slippers are on sale exclusively at the hotel’s boutique. Talk about one-of-a-kind (well, two-of-a-kind, in this case). The Man…
Following the tragic news of the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash on Sunday on March 10, President Donald Trump announced the US ban of Boeing Co’s 737 MAX 8 and MAX 9 jets – thus reversing an earlier statement that the US would keep flying the Boeing aircrafts. This decision followed the grounding of Boeing 737 planes in 42 other countries because of safety concerns. Now however, they are banned worldwide. China was one of the first to ground the…
