Your Guide to Jetiquette – Flying Private with the Mile High Club

Forget the 1%. When you fly private, you’re dealing with the .0001%. It’s a whole different kind of mile high club, and not just anyone (with the ability to fit in tight places) can join. But if you’re lucky enough to be invited, which nowadays is sometimes the only way to get from Point A to Point B, think of it as an invitation to your host’s home in the sky. Jetiquette goes beyond not sticking your gum under the…

Private Plane Escapes – Deplar Farms

You’ve never been in one place so long in your adult life, and you’re ready for a big change of scenery.

The Hand Sanitizer Sommelier – Top Five on the Market You’ve never done anything halfway. When the general masses were lined up for Purell, you were on the wait list for at least three of the hand sanitizers below because they were already on your list of essentials. With all the hand washing and sanitizing these days, it’s becoming more important to use the right product in order not to have hands of a 120-year-old when this pandemic is over.…

Where to Stay in Lake Garda

Villa Feltrinelli Welcome to the Daydream, 30 seconds to inspire your new #hotelgoals.

The Best Hotel in Crete You’ve Never Heard Of

Summer in Greece? It may just happen. Even better if it’s poolside, next to Charlize Theron. Or Tom Hanks. No, it’s not a hotel in Mykonos or Santorini, which are great too. No, this is more off-the-beaten tourist path. What could be better than dancing on a table at Nammos? Maybe it’s the 130,000 years of archeological history. Or the pink sand beaches. Or the turquoise waters as stunning as in the Maldives. Or it could be this hotel in…

If you’re reading this, then you’re the person who can make a difference. My view of the world was forever changed on May 25th. Despite having a diverse group of friends and industry colleagues, I realized how little I knew about the level of discrimination and the unjust challenges black individuals face…

Top Healthy Spots to Order In NYC This Week

The Restaurant: Mokum This is the type of café that we would find in a city like Prague, Milan, Kiev, London – you get the idea – and completely obsess about. Surprisingly, we found Mokum on the UWS, where we followed the music they have pumping at their outdoor kiosk. It’s an unexpected piece of Europe, where they make a real Italian coffee with their legit Sanremo machine and serve up high-end teas, alongside olive oil lemon cake bread. The menu is all about…
