Slovenia

We get it. Slovenia may not roll off the tip of the tongue for summer travel. However, Slovenia deserves a spot on any well-traveled list. Think of this Eastern Euro country as the amalgamation of Austria, Italy, and former Czechoslovakia. This means it’s the place to be for food, wine, and towns that look like they’re right out of a fairy tale. With a slew of luxury hotels and top restaurants opening, it’s where to be now. Suggested Stay: 5-7…

Kim Cattrall is back on ‘And Just Like That’

Kim Cattrall is back on And Just Like That. It may just be a cameo, but even a cameo is enough to get excited over.

But the beef with her costars led her to turn down the reboot. However, even if she doesn’t love SJP like we do, she is at least loyal to her fans, if at least…

As we can see, she does know a potion or two. And this concoction might be the most difficult one yet. This is Emma Watson’s gin, Renais. In an era of celebrity…

RL Restaurant Chicago

Overview I’ve been visiting Chicago for the past 22 years, which equates to well over 100+ visits. My trip isn’t complete though unless I at least stop in for a drink to RL Chicago. I’m a big fan of Polo Bar in NYC, and while RL Chicago is more mainstream accessible, it’s still has a feeling of exclusivity. I personally don’t eat Michelin meals 24/7, and part of being in Chicago is to feel like home. That’s what RL Chicago…

Because if you…

Asador Bastian Chicago

Overview There’s no argument that Chicago has the top restaurants in the U.S. The Midwest is a meat and potatoes country, so it’s also no surprise that Chicago has perfected the art of the steakhouse. Asador Bastian takes a unique angle though, as a Basque-inspired steakhouse. The Basque region of Spain is known as the foodie region, where chefs from all over the world come to the stage at restaurants that push the envelope on cuisine. In 20+ years of…
