We know we said that only grand gestures will do this Mother’s Day, but there is nothing grander than giving Mom the gift of your time. And because you’re such a good multi- tasker, it just makes sense to spend that time breaking bread (or a tin of caviar) to celebrate Mom at these top NYC spots.

There are beach vacations. And then there’s boarding a speedboat and disappearing into the Gulf of Thailand for 15 minutes en route to your own 30-acre island. Six Senses Krabey Island sits five kilometers off Cambodia’s southern coast, just beyond Ream National Park. It’s close enough to Sihanouk International Airport that you’re poolside before you know it. And Phnom Penh is an easy two-hour drive away via the new motorway. But once you’re here, the outside world slips away. Photo…
“Genetically blessed” doesn’t begin to describe the fortune of Kaia Gerber, who is the carbon copy of her mom, Cindy, otherwise known as the OG supermodel. Essentially, you’ve won the lottery when your Mom is both beautiful and was an engineering major in college. And, of course, like every A-list mother-daughter duo, these two have traveled the world. This is where Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber have jetted off to. Photo courtesy of Hôtel de Poulpry, Maison des Polytechniciens. Destination:…
Perfection is not a designation we award lightly, but we’re ready to ordain this estate on 66 private acres deep in Provence pretty darned close. The quintessential French country home, at a modest 13,000 square feet, is the kind of place that inspires you to make a cassoulet and live your best Provençal life. What was originally a pear farm, Les Mas des Poiriers brings the dream of owning an effortless estate to life, alongside a daydream of Mr. Darcy…
Some say it with flowers. Then, there are those who say it with chocolate. That’s all nice, and of course, Mom doesn’t expect anything. In fact, she genuinely cherishes every gift you give, even that clock you made in woodshop in junior high. But you know Mom didn’t raise you to be run-of-the mill in anything, and that includes gift-giving. So naturally, you’re the one who says “thank you” with a grander gesture, like a well-deserved vacation with Mom. These…
Forget Botox. Stem cell rejuvenation is where it’s at nowadays, because beauty is literally more than skin-deep. The conversation around longevity has shifted considerably in recent years. Where anti-aging once meant topical creams and cosmetic procedures, the frontier has moved inward — to the cellular level. Stem cell rejuvenation is at the center of that shift. How Does Stem Cell Rejuvenation Work? The premise is this: stem cells are the body’s raw material, capable of developing into specialized cells that…
They had us at the first glimpse of their fish and chips, and sealed the deal with their stargazy pie. From the team behind King is a casual rendition of the classic English Pub, and we liked it. A lot. This is a first look at the new Dean’s in NYC. Overview The opening of Dean’s makes you wonder why it took this long for a proper British pub to arrive in New York City. We’re not talking a themed…

Indian cuisine is having its moment in New York City. And when there’s a 35,000-person waitlist for a restaurant in the genre, you could say there’s even a frenzy. Musaafer is a transplant from Houston, and has joined the NYC restaurant scene. Photo courtesy of Musaafer. Atmosphere There is something to be said for a restaurant that stops you in your tracks before you’ve even sat down. Walk past Musaafer’s nondescript entrance on Duane Street in TriBeCa and you’d never…
It used to be members only meant the now almost extinct old-school suit and tie dress codes or gents only clubs. Today the velvet rope has gone vertical, from penthouses in Manhattan to oceanfront compounds in Malibu, to wellness and longevity oases. It may have started with Soho House as a one-off coveted membership, but the next gen of private clubs is giving you a whole host of reasons to join, and our bet is they’re here to stay. An…
