Bungalow NYC

A shout out to Martha Stewart, whose IG put Bungalow NYC on the radar for me to try. Once again she proves that Martha knows best, as what I discovered was one of the best Indian restaurants in NYC.

Temakase Nomad

When Sugarfish and KazuNori came on the scene, they created a whole new category of casual Japanese in NYC. In lieu of a large-scale Tao or Nobu, the more casual Japanese fare became the trend. But there was room in the market for more creative hand rolls, and that’s where Temakase stepped up to the plate.

In this case, it’s for the even better, fast…

Celebrities in Ibiza

We’ve noticed a trend this year with celebrities in Ibiza. Clearly, not just any Ibiza hotel or villa will do. Instead, celebrities in Ibiza have descended up the Balearic Islands in Spain by boat. Leo and Tobey rolled up on a 249 foot yacht formerly owned by the founder of Zara. Naomi was on Zazzazu, one of the fastest boats in the world. But what did the celebrities in Ibiza do when they were on land? These are a few…
