These Celebrity-Owned Wineries Are the Real Deal

Celebrity wines are everywhere. Celebrity-owned wineries are something else entirely. A famous face can bring attention to a bottle, but building a respected winery requires more than recognition. It takes land, patience, agricultural expertise, financial commitment, and a willingness to invest for decades, rather than chase a quick return. The owners on this list chose the more demanding path. They purchased vineyards, restored historic estates, planted vines, hired respected winemakers, and immersed themselves in the long process of winegrowing. Some participate…

The 9 Best Hotel Restaurants in the World

We know you pride yourself on uncovering those gem restaurants before they end up on social media. We’re all for that. But sometimes, all you want to do is stay put at your $5k-a-night hotel, and head to bed after one too many dirty martini sessions. For when that mood strikes, here are the hotel restaurants that are gems in their own right. No scouting required. Just an elevator ride. Hélène Darroze at The Connaught, London.

The 2.0 Version of Babbo NYC

If you’ve lived in New York for at least twenty years, Babbo probably has a place in your heart. I know that it does in mine, as a restaurant that represented everything cool about New York. After all, what was better than walking into Babbo in the early aughts with AC/DC blasting on the speaker system and Bono eating a plate of pasta in the front bar? The answer is nothing, and that was just Babbo NYC on any given…

Experience Spa de La Mer’s New Crystal Resonance Signature Massage

Enter Spa de La Mer through the Baccarat Hotel New York doors on West 53rd Street. You’ll pass a live flame kept burning in homage to the French glassmakers, whose furnaces gave Baccarat its name centuries ago. Then, you’ll descend to a subterranean sanctuary that feels entirely removed from Midtown. It’s like a European seaside grotto sealed off from the city. This is the world’s only full-service Spa de La Mer, and it has introduced a treatment unlike anything else…

Classic New York: 6 Old-School Experiences You Should Try

There’s nothing quite like kicking it old school in New York. These six spots aren’t trying to be the next big thing. Instead, they already won, decades ago, and they’re still winning. Here’s where to catch a jazz set, take in a mural, or simply slow down in a room built long before anyone cared about turnover.

Nori Shinn Handroll Bar

I don’t remember a world without handrolls, and thank goodness — now I don’t have to. The East Village has never lacked handroll bars, but Nori Shinn arrived this spring with a compelling pedigree. Nori Shinn is from the same team behind Thirteen Water and Shinn East, two of the neighborhood’s most reliable under-$100 omakase spots. It’s walk-in only, no tipping, and handrolls made to order at a center bar. I went in expecting a quick, casual bite. What I…

Chicago: Alinea’s Esmero Pops Up at Charlie Trotter’s

Some things come full circle, and not just the team that is behind the Esmero popup by the Alinea team in Chicago. In lieu of hosting Esmero in their compound in the West Loop, Alinea chose one of the most iconic spots in Chicago. There is exactly one address in Chicago dining that comes loaded with this much history — and that’s 816 W. Armitage Avenue. Real foodies know Chef Charlie Trotter, the OG of Michelin celebrity chefs before it…

Keepers NYC – The West Village Pizza Tavern

There are some places that are effortlessly and unapologetically themselves. That is certainly the case with Keepers, the new West Village pizza and Negroni tavern. After all, when you serve your food on paper plates and kitsch is the theme of your decor, you have to have a certain confidence. In New York City, you also need to back that up with what’s in the kitchen if you have a shot at making the sky-high rents in the West Village…

Best Dog-Friendly Hotels

There are dog-friendly hotels, and then there are hotels where your dog may have a better vacation than you will. A bowl in the room and access to the service elevator no longer cut it. The best properties offer canine room-service menus, massages, custom accessories and, in at least one case, an actual dog butler. From urban hotspots to sprawling ranches, these hotels understand a simple truth: dogs aren’t accessories to a family vacation. They’re guests. And like any discerning…

The Real Score: Where Celebrities Stay During the US Open

Every August, celebrity hotel choices during the US Open become almost as fascinating as what happens on the courts. The tournament descends on the city like a second Fashion Week (which, not coincidentally, overlaps with it). And for two weeks, the question isn’t just who’s winning on the courts at Flushing Meadows. It’s who’s sitting in the box seats and who’s in the hotel lobby. The tournament itself draws the kind of crowd that defies easy categorization. Tennis, with its…
