The Otter NYC

The 60 Thompson hotel is back, but it’s changed its address to 58 Thompson and its name to The Manner. Also, in lieu of an impossible-to-get-into scene, The Manner is coming into the neighborhood, gathering space. Its restaurant, The Otter, is run by Alex Stupak of Empellon fame, but doesn’t continue in the Mexican food vertical. This is a first look at The Otter and whether it should be on your list. Atmosphere I’ve been coming to 60 Thompson in…

Arev St. Tropez

There’s a new hotel group on the scene, and they’ve put down their first roots in the not-so-under-the-radar St. Tropez. But they’re not just in it for the summer yacht season. Instead, they’re making the South of France an all-year-round destination. This is the first look at Arev, one of the coolest hotels to open in a while. A Hotel that’s a Home Okay, maybe it’s more accurately described as a large estate that should be in the countryside of…

Off-Season Travel

There’s something to be said for going to a hot-spot when it’s a cool spot. ‘Cool,’ being the operative term to take away. Some destinations have it going on all-year-round, or at minimum, after Leo has left the dance floor, and Jeff’s boat has sailed off into the sunset beyond the borders of the Med. For those who don’t need to be in the mix when every single room is sold out, the off-season may just be the new in-season. …

But it has to be easy, like an all-in-one situation, as in top-notch accommodations, Michelin-starred cuisine, and a spa that’s off the charts. Oh, and it’s gotta be a stunner, like Cindy Crawford at the top of her modeling career. Well, we take your five-star hotel experience and…

Lily of the Valley

Continuing the theme of St. Tropez is not over for the season, we’re here to clue you in that it’s actually open all-year-round.

Rosewood Schloss Fuschl

Rosewood Schloss Fuschl is only in its infancy, but we should preface by saying that the Austrian castle has lived many lives, with 400+ years’ worth of stories. What started as a grand hunting lodge in 1461 is now a luxurious resort, surrounded by the Alps, and situated directly on the waters of Lake Fuschl – a UNESCO World Heritage site. The lodge housed nobility and film stars, and having stayed true to its luxurious reputation, it is now a…

The Ned NoMad’s Halloween Party

Occasionally, we need to do our PSA, and this time, it’s to share that you’re never too old to dress up for Halloween. That’s like saying you’ve aged out of fun, and no one, however old, should give up on enjoying life. And for relative “grown-ups,” The Ned NoMad is hosting their epic Halloween party again this year. Horror meets extravagance at the NYC hotel’s iconic party. This year’s theme? Carnevil – cue the scary clowns. On October 26th, The…

The Jean-Georges Private Club

Who remembers the Spice Market restaurant? We know bringing up the once A-list spot is a walk down memory lane for us long-time New Yorkers. And even though we haven’t been there since the early aughts, we still mourned its closing in 2016. But there’s good news, as the old Spice Market is going to rise like a phoenix. The space is ready to make its comeback – and it only took eight years. To be fair, all good things…
