Where to Stay in Crested Butte

The Scarp Ridge Lodge Why we like it: If there is a place for true skiers (not just those who are looking to spray champagne on top of Cloud Nine in Aspen or get on the lifts to rock their new Channel jacket), Crested Butte is the experience for you. With 1000+ acres of exclusive ski terrain in Irwin, the area receives about 450 inches of snow per year. The Scarp Ridge Lodge is the refurbished Croatian Hall, where coal…

Four Seasons Jackson Hole: The Winter Celebrity Hotspot

Four Seasons Resort and Residences, Jackson Hole Who: Say what you like about the Kardashians, but those guys know how to vacation in style. If Kim and Kanye have approved of a hotel destination, we know it’s worth looking into. But if you’re not convinced by Kimye, perhaps the vacation track records of Harrison Ford, Sandra Bullock, and Matthew McConoughey, all of whom are past guests of the Jackson Hole Four Seasons, will be a weighty sign of a luxury…

Carbone: Classic Italian Scene

If there’s one place you are almost guaranteed to celeb spot, Carbone in NYC is your restaurant. The scene here has only continued to get hotter, even though the restaurant is over 8 years old. We were in the midst of a pandemic in 2020, and when Carbone opened for takeout, there was a run on penne a la vodka. Seriously; we’ll never forget the photo of the Caviar guys so not social distancing for delivery. It got so intense,…

Cafe Sabarsky: More Viennese than Vienna

Café Sabarsky Good for: Dining alone during the weekday, small groups for brunch, and everything from first to fiftieth date lunch (because if the date goes well, you can walk around the museum afterwards). Atmosphere: Café Sabarsky is more classic than a classic Viennese café. No one rushes you: even though there is a line of thirty people deep outside the door, you could literally sit for hours in conversation over coffee and Apfelstrudel. Even better, you’re always encouraged to have…

Where to Stay in Napa Valley

Bardessono Why we like it: If you are looking for a full-service resort, located right in the heart of Yountville, Bardessono is the place to stay. Relaxing rooftop pool? Check. Great spa? Check. Big rooms? Check. Nice fireplaces? Of course. And what’s even better, is that after being a little sauced from wine-tasting all day, you can walk into town for dinner at Bouchons Bistro. Bardessono prides itself in being environmentally responsible – it’s one of the three Platinum LEED…

Road Trip: The Baker House 1650

Baker House 1650 The great thing about The Hamptons is that they never go out of season. It’s a popular destination during the summer months, but The Hamptons in the fall means fewer people, better deals, more comfortable weather, and equally as much (if not more) to do. The Baker House 1650 in East Hampton, an award-winning boutique Hamptons Inn has three new experience deals for this fall. Each one centers around a getaway for two, with a multitude of…
