The Ambani Honeymoon

After you host (by some reports) a half-billion-dollar wedding, the post-wedding life could be pretty anti-climactic. Like, the natural question is, where do you go from there? Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant had one of the most expensive weddings in the world. There were 2,000-ish guests. Jewels like no one has ever seen in public. Heck, there were Kardashians in the house. But now that the dust is settling, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are just like any other 29-year-olds…

It’s said that his famous line about James Bond’s “shaken, not stirred” martini, comes from Dukes. Whatever the case, the London…

The Ancient Art of Gua Sha

Gua Sha recently gained mainstream popularity, with everyone from Kaia Gerber to fitness influencer Melissa Wood getting on board. However Gua Sha is not new at all. In fact, Gua Sha might just be one of the oldest wellness techniques in medical history. The practice dates back to the Paleolithic Era, and likely with roots in the Ming Dynasty. The word in Chinese literally means “scraping”, but we would say that it’s more of a massage as you’re not breaking…

Janu Tokyo

Aman is known for the peace and often solitude in their hotels which started in remote parts of the world. Over the past three decades, Aman’s serene, minimalist and modern design have created a cult of Aman Junkies. Where’s there’s an Aman, as a Junkie myself, I will go.

Domodomo NYC

I’ve been in search of good sushi in New York that’s not a $1,000 omakase. Not that I’m opposed to a mind-blowing meal, but we all need that everyday sushi fix.

Your seaweed is served open-faced like a taco, and filled with rice and fish. It’s not like I think that Nami Nori is a classic version of…

Her sister Pippa Matthews joined Kate Middleton at Wimbledon as well. And it was almost a tear-jerker as Princess Catherine arrived to a standing ovation. We would say that the cheers in the crowd have reached their peak today, and the tennis had not even started. We don’t think that Carlos…

Wildair

One of the benefits of being around in NYC during the summer is checking out the restaurants on my wish-list. Wildair isn’t new, but it’s been on my radar forever. Wildair is the more casual wine bar of the now-closed, but rumored to reopen under some sort of iteration of Contra. Essentially, Contra was, and Wildair is, like the real-life The Bear on FX. By all reports, at Wildair, you have yourself a crew that is breaking culinary boundaries and…
