Point Seven

Some chefs just have a gift. We remember first getting a taste of Chef Franklin Becker’s cooking at Abe & Arthur in the Meatpacking district over two decades ago. Abe & Arthur was the coolest place in the Meatpacking at that time, so it didn’t need to have good food. But it did. Two decades later, does Chef Becker still have that gift? This is the review of Point Seven restaurant in NYC, one of Chef Becker’s latest ventures. Atmosphere…

Atmosphere From the day that Amarena opened, it has been a hotspot of sorts, for lower-key Upper East…

The One&Only Aesthesis in Greece

There’s another new hotel in Greece, which is making yet another case for skipping the islands this summer. And it’s also part of the One&Only group, so we’re guessing there won’t be much arm-twisting involved to go there. This is a first look at the One&Only Aesthesis, a new hotel on the Athenian Riviera. Overview After you’ve been to Greece year in, year out, Athens became your brief stopover city, instead of a destination for your summer vacay. Yes, Athens…
