Top LA Workout Studios

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.…

Celeb Spotting in LA

Yes, there are some glamorous places to people watch in LA, and in normal times, hanging outside the Nice Guy late at night with the paps will guarantee you a sighting. But celebs — they really are just like us (but with movie deals, private jets and very attractive costars). These are the spots to get the best sightings, and they’re not what you think.

Californication – The Top Five Hotels in California

Follow the Lobster

There’s nothing more New England than a too much meat from a lobster caught this morning, “I don’t think I can finish this myself” lobster roll. If you grew up summering in the Cape, you’ll know that absolutely no summer is complete without this simple delicacy. Somehow the marriage of white bread and fresh-caught lobster just melts in your mouth and tastes like everything a beach day should. If you’re craving a break from COVID-19 and need to transport yourself…

A Website for the Traveler

Traveling internationally is like a complex sudoku puzzle nowadays. It’s an art to time COVID-testing windows with country requirements and available flights. The canitravel.net website gives you the latest and greatest by nation and by nationality, to where you are allowed, restricted, or denied entry under the changing COVID travel requirements. 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. You may be wondering what makes these candles special, to warrant the $95 price tag and up to $495 for the “Great”? It’s too bad we can’t ask the court of Louis XV, who were fans of the…

Cheese Churros – Yes, Please

Why it took someone so long to come up with cheese churros — or as there’s called, Gruyère fritters (which sounds pretty good too) — we don’t know, nor do we know how we lived without these in our lives. Crown Shy, the restaurant helmed by guys who’ve run Eleven Madison and Del Posto, is back on in the Financial District. And it’s good enough to come from the nether regions of the Upper West Side. Unlike it’s pedigree, the atmosphere…

But added, to bring the grand total to 35 states, are Arizona, Minnesota, Nevada, Rhode Island, and Wyoming. Moral of the story…
