Classic Los Angeles Restaurants

You’ve never had an avocado — or sushi for that matter — until you’ve had it in LA. This is the city where they’ve mastered the art of effortlessly good food because the ingredients are just so darned fresh. In fact, farm to table in California is the standard. It would actually be more effort to source ingredients that weren’t just harvested from the local farmer. It’s impossible to include all the new, trendy places for LA, as it changes daily.…

The Maybourne Beverly Hills

It’s not just Prince Harry who made a move to Los Angeles. LA now has a piece of the most iconic hotel portfolio in London, with the opening the Maybourne Beverly Hills. And even better? No 14-day quarantine upon arrival, so plan on excursions to Rodeo Drive right around the corner. Though if this hotel is anything like its sister properties – Claridge’s, The Connaught and The Berkeley in the UK – the hotel will be a destination unto itself.…

Most magazines full of paid staff can’t accurately report travel restrictions for Americans, but somehow these three friends who were frustrated with the complexity of COVID travel requirements have…

Things to Make Your Life More Parisian

You’re finally home after that temporary relocation, and you’re feeling the need to nest. And you’re missing Paris. These candles by Cire Trudon are your must-have. This is no quick trend though; these guys have been around since 1643, so consider this a classic.
