The Frog Club Review

Note: Frog Club does not allow photos, so the photo above is not of the restaurant. It does however loosely illustrate the quirky edge of the decor. I’ve read all the reviews and gossip about the much talked about Frog Club. In absence of its location in the historic old Chumley’s space, I may have passed on a visit.

Assouline Madison Avenue Opens in the Former Nello Space

The more things change, well, the more things change. Nello, a fixture on the Upper East Side scene for over 30 years, shut its doors this past March 2024. Something about $5 million in unpaid rent and a few hundred thousand in utility bills eventually led to its ultimate demise. But instead of another restaurant, a urprising tenant has quickly popped up this summer in Nello’s former space. And it’s not who you would expect. Luxury book retailer Assouline Madison…

Faraway Martha’s Vineyard

The Vineyard isn’t about the hottest restaurant. And it surely isn’t about the most luxurious places to stay. Somehow though, a new hotel called Faraway has planted roots.

English Countryside Hotels

Taking aside that silly decision on Brexit, the English have a plenty they do right. First there’s the monarchy, where it’s hard not to love Princess Kate right now. And even though we were always Team Diana, Kamila is admirably holding her own. Then there’s fish and chips like no other, and on the other side of the spectrum, the brilliant tradition of afternoon tea. But before we digress into warm scones, let’s get down to brass tax.
