AirBnb Check-in Option 2: $290/night Neighborhood: Chelsea/Kensington This flat is located in the posh neighborhood of Kensington, and sits right by Earls Court Station, the tube line that can take you into the city. The flat has two bedrooms / double beds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527871861000-I2K04MFDPQLNO3XYSB5B/konoba-korta.jpg A+P croatia - Dinner: Konoba Korta In a lively courtyard in town, you'll find Konoba Korta, a local favorite. Ask for a recommendation on Dalmatian dishes + Croatian wine to pair :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527959148583-0JG1UO4J71T1AAOE6M17/image-asset.jpeg A+P croatia - Mt. Srd Hike (or take the cable car up Mt. Srd) for unparalleled views of the city. I highly recommend hiking - but warning - there are a lot of stairs before you get to the base! A great morning or sunset activity :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527932973994-ZPLJNZWVICKGFYYGU9DN/image-asset.jpeg A+P croatia - Afternoon Hike: Rugged Coast + Interior If you have time, keep hiking east until you reach Milna. From there, more hiking trails open up towards the interior of the island, bringing you back to Hvar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527958843553-P3LTRF9F45Y6UCHM5POU/city-walls.jpg A+P croatia - Dubrovnik City Walls Dubrovnik’s city walls were constructed between the 14th and 16th centuries and run over one mile around the historic center. Walk along the walls for stunning views, and pop into some of the cafés and small shops along the way. To enter, take one of the staircase entrances at the western and eastern gates. Tip: arrive early to avoid tourists, and have a light breakfast at one of the cafes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527625334877-AJHWD9NX9ASUU7KDQO1J/shutterstock_71012422two-wild-monkey-rhesus-macaque-in-kam-shan-country-park-kowloon-hong-kong.jpg A+P croatia - Morning: Market Visit Spend the morning at the Zadar market, one of Croatia's best traditional markets, with seasonal, local produce at great prices - think juicy watermelons and oranges, cured ham and cheeses (be sure to pick up some snacks to hold you over during your drives). If you want to spend a little more time in Zadar, visit the 12th century cathedral in town, where you can climb the bell tower for sweeping views of the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1528006929524-BUCYSVU9WZ8F142WBPBN/image-asset.jpeg A+P croatia - Casual Lunch: Oliva Pizzeria Grab a table outside and dig in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527872983121-2P7C23775ABCV69IXR9F/image-asset.jpeg A+P croatia - Morning: Ferry Take one of the morning Jadrolinija ferries from Split to Hvar - boat times can be found here :) Tip: take the earliest ferry to make the most of your day! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527625890532-PI121EWR7MI9YUAJ5GS3/Krka-national-park-Skradinski-Buk.jpg A+P croatia - Mid-day: Krka National Park After packing up, make the 1 hour drive to Krka National Park. The park is full of waterfalls and gorges (wear a bathing suit and bring a towel!), and a river gushing through 200-meter deep canyon. Note - the park has 5 entrances - the closes to Zadar is the Skradin entrance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1528007783339-1W2STOSHI1ZCRSCHPZIT/image-asset.jpeg A+P croatia - Late Afternoon: Banje Beach For a Euro beach scene, go to Banje beach. Banje is divided into public and private sections, the latter of which boasts daybeds and cabanas. The calm, sapphire waters are great for swimming. Like so many clubs in Croatia, Banje draws partiers during the day and then a late-night crowd for dancing and drinking. Nearby at the Eastwest beach club, you can rent boats and equipment for water skiing, wakeboarding, or parasailing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1528005818792-7EWEKRCBU0U7GDTSR7SD/image-asset.jpeg A+P croatia - Sunset Drinks: Buza Bar Pass through a hole in the fortress walls to access the bar, and you'll find a lovely terrace over the sea with incredible views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1528010761151-5CD4TVP6M76TQF6HNKUD/old%2Btown%2Bmarket%2Bdubrovnik%2Bcroatia.jpg A+P croatia - Afternoon: Gruz + Old Town Market Pick up fresh fruits, veggies, and meats at the Gruz (less touristy) or Old Town (more charming) markets. Ask a local to guide you to the best butcher and wine store, so you can find everything you need for the perfect home-cooked dinner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527933131318-X9XX57HIG2JZGMHYRBBK/Split-Jadrolinija-Ticket-Booth-Big.jpg A+P croatia - Early Evening: Ferry Grab a bite in town and take the ferry back to Split. If you're hungry later on in the evening, enjoy a lively dinner at Bokeria. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1528009354636-WHUHD5RGPG2XPXKRZ4P7/istock-524051363.jpg A+P croatia - Late Morning: Drive to Dubrovnik Drive along Croatia's jagged coastline on the Adriatic Highway to get from Split to Dubrovnik. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527959699873-LTR1WQ6B9F59X4QOJ5Y0/image-asset.jpeg A+P croatia - Dinner: Kopun Restaurant If you feel like splurging one night, dine at Kopun, set in one of the loveliest squares in Dubrovnik. The restaurant features regional fare with an emphasis on seafood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527955647678-3V3UWBCIWIMYJSKZKS0L/Lokrum-aerial-view.jpg A+P croatia - Day Trip: Lokrum Island After breakfast at home, head to the dock and catch the ferry to Lokrum Island. Or even better, kayak over (you can rent from Adriatic Kayak Tours here). Once arriving, you canneither set up a picnic, or enjoy lunch + drinks at one of the several cafes on the island.

Bars and cafes are near the beach, so if you get hungry, you can always walk to one nearby :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527630911780-Q8XKRVMZ6POBG7KQGBID/diocletians-palace-courtyard-590-590x392.jpg A+P croatia - Morning: Diocletian's Palace Sleep in and spend a relaxing day exploring Split + lounging at the beach.

Built in 1879 and bought by Elsie Wicki in 1961, the bar has changed hands a few times since but has never lost its charm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1533312814149-BQNO3RK2F2LC1UC6IGDZ/gees2-480x320.jpg zermatt guide - Gee's Bar Gee's is one of the newer spots in town, built on what was the first floor of Grampi's.

They also have their raclette cheese made by local cheese makers with their own cows’ milk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1533311899871-RVJ4KIS2F59PDEVTDL0N/5081731b401b4292ba4fe3d59a180d4c.jpg zermatt guide - Zum See Have a fancy ski lunch at Zum See - as you probably remember one of our favorite spots! Disclaimer - the restaurant becomes very upscale in the high season, and they don't serve the traditional Swiss classics -so don't get your hopes up for rösti and cinnamon ice cream :( That being said, the rack of lamb is amazing and worth ordering - the lunch is quite heavy so you might want to skip dinner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1533311441141-FH3BVIMA515GA1O9P6MR/40665549385_b1882b2030_b.jpg zermatt guide - Evening at Riffelalp Spend the evening at the Riffelalp hotel for a fun night outside Zermatt.

Jade signifies good luck and prosperity in China, and many people wear it to ward off bad luck. The market is a great place to buy - the jade won’t be high quality, but as a general rule, a decent piece of jade should feel cool to the touch and have an intense hue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527229740286-5ABTKWL8H9TLLLENFARP/S-Hong-Kong-Initial-01468203_155175011280267_480179738_o-620x413-1.jpg hong kong city guide - INITIAL Initial - a concept store that sells its own designs alongside other international brands - features a mix of edgy home goods and accessories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1527225448519-PYCBZ21G347H3A1I8L86/R-HongKong-CafeGrayDeluxeBar2-620x413.jpg hong kong city guide - CAFE GRAY DELUXE BAR Located on the 49th floor of the the Upper House, you;ll find incredible views, innovative cocktails and great people-watching. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1534364601262-V9815LNCYKED4PBO00RF/bfbaf81a6f5f5d3e6f82fa3a1732df94.jpg hong kong city guide - FOOT MASSAGE If you didn't know already, no visit to China/HK is complete without a foot massage.

Order bar snacks and small plates (all from next door neighbor Flying Elk) and have a sommelier guide you through a pairing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1536695937625-K0LUBJHS69TZTQVTALCA/36644432956_04fc4e9147_b.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - Royal Palace of Stockholm (Kungahuset) With more than 600 rooms, the Stockholm Royal Palace is one of the biggest in the world still used by a head of state: King Carl XVI Gustav.

Fabrique is one - a chain of wood-fired bakeries (Söder location is the best). Tip: try a kardemummabullar, a more modern, cardamom-spiced, buttery version of a cinnamon bun. If you don’t find yourself near Frabrique, Tössebageriet is a great alternative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1536696192493-THZU2U78XWA8A1GKJ9CO/03071031_xgaplus.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - Stockholm Archipelago My top pick: a ferry trip out to the archipelago. The half-day trip is absolutely worth it for the stunning views and traditional lunch spots. Everyone has their favorite islands: Utö, Finnhamn and Sandhamn are always a good choice. If you end up visiting Värmdö, Artipelag, a modern art museum, is a must. The space opened on donation from BabyBjörn founders Björn and Lillemor Jakobson, and blends well into the pine tree-laden island. If you, be sure to check out the design shop, restaurants, exhibition gallery, and surrounding nature trails. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1536700011875-AUXVRGHJIQNDPHXB7JJ7/Rosendals-Tradgard-2-670x446.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - Garden: Rosendals Trädgård Rosendals Trädgård: part garden, part nursery, part cafe. Stop for a light, farm-to-table style lunch or fika at the cafe, located in one of the greenhouse buildings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1537311544887-RZWIF2HZL6GV87Y6KPMU/pharmarium31liten-2.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - Cocktails: Pharmarium Located on the main square in Gamla Stan, Pharmarium creates high-end cocktails in a pharmacy-inspired space. Cocktails feature Swedish elements like licorice, cloudberry jam and birch and moss smoke in its concoctions, which can be paired with seasonal dishes for a full meal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1537212546213-DB3TK3Q0PWP2DLGK4BWF/tyska-kyrkan-deutsche-kirche_stockholm-german-church-1.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - German Church, Gamla Stan In 1565 the city council gave the German Guild Hall to the Finnish community, who enlarged and transformed it into a church, which they shared with the Germans until 1601 when the Finns were told to leave and the building took on the name of the German Church. The rich decoration dates from this period - not in particular the ebony pulpit and the splendid royal tribune designed by Tessin the Elder, himself a member of the parish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1537208879183-APJ1XO506MGQIOE6UVEU/Skansen_Stockholm_Sweden_1.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - Skansen Skansen is essentially a walking tour of historic manor houses and town houses from all over Sweden, in an elegant royal-park setting. Towards the end of the 19th century, scholar and folklorist Artur Hazelius rescued 150 outstanding traditional houses and placed them here among gardens and allées. Of special note: Skogaholm Manor, built in 1680, has superb Gustavian interiors with decorative pale gray paneled walls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1536701946041-3NL5IKP7YX27I3SC8D4Y/exterior_cynthia_siew.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - Breakfast: Chokladkoppen Chokladkoppen is a hole-in-the-wall cafe right in the old town’s main square. Go for the atmosphere - the terrace out from calls for prime people watching, and the tiny interior with low-beamed ceilings, yellow walls and edgy artwork is great for a rainy day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1537214453500-BUBH14UTSV77GKOQUQBF/e1vqej7nrrgiolb1ywy4-1.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - Omakase: Sushi Sho Since opening in 2014, one-Michelin-starred Sushi Sho is a must-visit for sushi lovers visiting Stockholm. The omakase menu features local fish, like Swedish tuna and mackerel, among others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1537214766573-8OYWZWJKROWLTQT200BP/from-the-street.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - Local: PA & Co On a charming corner in Ostermalm, PA & Co is routinely packed with a friendly mix of local artists and writers as well as in-the-know visitors. The restaurant serves bistro classics like fried goat cheese salad and reportedly has one of the best bacon cheeseburgers in the city. Also excellent for brunch.

The restaurant is housed in an old boathouse, with window walls for great views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1537316507720-TL9Z3YG6CKJ79FLK08YJ/Screen+Shot+2018-09-18+at+7.12.41+PM.png Stockholm Mini Guide - Post-Dinner Drinks: Morfar Ginko If you want a (light) taste of Stockholm nightlife, Morfar Ginko is worth checking out. The industrial-chic bar and restaurant draws a hip crowd that comes to play Ping-Pong and dance to DJ sets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1536698371865-81KFEB3AG2LGQDX6KI5L/seglande-skeppet_2-1.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - Vasa Museet A true must-see, the Vasa Museet features the warship Vasa that sank 1628 and lay underwater for 333 years until salvaged and eventually displayed in the museum. Tip; start with the documentary in the small cinema. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1536699254682-VR5RE3XA3P1G44N920GC/db91eeaee4132029c137dabe187f6018-2.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - Breakfast: Broms Karlapan Part restaurant, part deli, Broms offers a mix of Swedish dishes and international dishes in a seated setting or to-go. If you’re looking for a If the place is too crowded, Nytorget 6 is a great alternative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1536880339841-8J29FX8E0OYPKLCNXJCZ/Flying-elk-1.jpg Stockholm Mini Guide - Lunch: The Flying Elk For a fun, casual lunch, grab a table at gastropub Flying Elk, sister to michelin-starred Frantzén. The restaurant pulls some menu items from Frantzén, but serves them in a more approachable manner and simpler setting. While there, indulge in craft beers or follow lunch with a cocktail at the restaurant’s bar. If you’re not feeling too hungry, you can try some of the restaurant’s smaller dishes (paired with wine) next door at Gaston Wine Bar. https://www.ahlcollective.com/zona-cafetera daily 0.75 2018-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1536338163703-POXQIUGWNJ3WQYM76ML3/mini_magick20170927-3-1x6tgvz.jpg Zona Cafetera - Horseback Riding Horseback riding is one of the best ways to explore the region. There are many options, from a short trail ride + picnic from the hotel or a full day trekking across larger stretches of land, such as the Cocora Valley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1533225165199-52DK6E02CTDLJ5MSIL3U/Screen+Shot+2018-08-02+at+11.52.30+AM.png Zona Cafetera - Coffee Tours Coffee tours give visitors the unique opportunity to spend time with local farmers, pickers, and jeep drivers, allowing them to understand the importance of coffee to the culture and way of life of the region. We highly recommend joining one if you are not staying at a coffee-producing hacienda. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1536338242170-8PIHRVTTPGUGXVVRNI78/Salento-Quindio-Colombia-1.jpg Zona Cafetera - Coffee Towns Set in the lush green mountains of the Zona Cafetera, Pereira, survives on coffee production, trout farming and, increasingly, tourists, who are drawn by Salento's quaint streets, typical paisa architecture and its proximity to the spectacular Valle de Cocora. It was founded in 1850, and is one of the oldest towns in Quindío. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1533224597397-9TD1G12XO177Z61YUEU1/PalmadeCera1.jpg Zona Cafetera - Hiking: Valle de Cocora, Valle de Samaria The Cocora Valley is home to a huge population of the endangered and endemic Quindio wax palm – the tallest palm tree in the world – which towers over visitors, giving the entire experience a distinctly surreal edge. The hike takes a few hours and takes in lovely cloud forest and farmland scenery, culminating in the once-in-a-lifetime experience of wandering among the mighty giants of Cocora. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1536338416760-CF8GK09MAHXTK7ICDBER/Termales-2-2.jpg Zona Cafetera - Hot Springs: Santa Rosa de Cabal Just outside the little town of Santa Rosa de Cabal, the termales (hot springs) flow down from the mountain above in a waterfall. Visitors can hike up to the foot of the falls to bathe in a lovely natural thermal pool. Less adventurous types can still enjoy the hot waters at the nearby hotel, where a smaller waterfall feeds several different pools, at a variety of temperatures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1533224479575-E37JNJT1SRAE67MAOOB3/image-asset.jpeg Zona Cafetera - Birding: Rio Blanco, Otun Quimbaya and Montezuma Colombia has more recorded species of bird than any other country in the world, and the Coffee Region boasts more species than practically any other part of the country. Birding enthusiasts will love exploring the Nevados National Park, Otun Quimbaya Reserve, Rio Blanco, Tatama National Park, Cerro Montezuma, among others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1533224074659-F5VUF1M6KPSCSRRVQ4WQ/dscn7667crop.jpg Zona Cafetera - Hot Air Balloon Take a hot air balloon ride for unparalleled views of distant Andean peaks, fields of coffee, plantain, and bamboo, and the lovely little houses and towns that make up the region.

The collection, housed in the art deco Palacio Municipal, includes pre-Columbian (pre-arrival of Columbus), colonial, and modern works. The highlight of the museum is the 3rd floor, where many of the works of Fernando Botero (the famous Medellín-born artist) are on display. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1532613730430-CMUYR48UUY8H5DPVIGKN/d233b03000ac1202b4ca7c047967fb0d.jpg medellín city guide - Hotel Charlee Located in the trendy Parque Lleras neighborhood, Hotel Charlee boasts undisturbed city views from every room. The hotel has a great rooftop pool and design discotheque, drawing a younger crowd, but worth booking for the location and views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1533156504252-JN2NGQ4R6KVBX8MVFL3S/maxresdefault.jpg medellín city guide - Son Havana Son Havana is a Cuban-themed salsa joint in the trendy Laureles neighborhood, with a band playing on Thursday and Saturday nights.

These cable cars, which climb both sides of the valley in which Medellín sits, travel deep into the far-flung and formerly difficult-to-reach favelas (shanty towns) that are located in the surrounding hills and have had a measurable social impact on the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1532710356846-EGLRUR8NFM573NUA403P/Screen+Shot+2018-07-27+at+12.51.46+PM.png medellín city guide - Casa de la Memoría Located in Bicentenario Park of Medellín, Casa de la Memoría is a museum dedicated to the urban conflict in the region and its victims. Naturally, Colombians aren't proud of this part of their history, so you'll find few recommending the museum. It is a bit grim, but provides of good overview of the city's modern history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1532713229454-162J3OBG3GTY7KSB97XE/Sede-La-Tienda.jpg medellín city guide - Hatoviejo If you want a higher quality of service and a less-local atmosphere, try classic Colombian dishes at Hato Viejo. The Centro location features Pre-Columbian design (wooden beams and a red tile floor), and is right by the Plaza de Botero. Apart from the banedja paisa, I would recommend the empanadas, patacones (fried plantains). It may seem too hot to order soup, but trust me when I say you must try ajiaco or sancocho before leaving the country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1532713393880-EMYJ8W71M2WXMHBFJN57/Ocio-medellin-1.jpg medellín city guide - Ocio Ocio is one of Medellín's trendier restaurants, located in the neighborhood of Poblado.

The food is lighter than your average Colombian meal, and is best described as Californian-Colombian. You can request a table upstairs, downstairs, or in the garden. Advance reservations are highly encouraged. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1532713317353-VTI2AULANLN1MH8FZT0E/ticr_0_0.jpg medellín city guide - In Situ In the heart of Medellín's botanic gardens, housed in a minimalist villa, In Situ serves modern dishes with a Colombian twist.

Come hungry and order the bandeja paisa, chicharrón, and morcilla if you're adventurous. If you're not afraid of fried food and pork you will love it. The restaurant is in the neighborhood of Envigado, bordering Poblado, and is particularly famous for the chicarrón (fried pork rinds). https://www.ahlcollective.com/new-page daily 0.75 2018-11-28 https://www.ahlcollective.com/napa daily 0.75 2019-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1545950616368-4XZWJ4L8326NK221I37I/tzoo.99300.0.748690.TheSpaatTheEstate-CP.jpg Napa - Spa Day: Vintage House Spend a late afternoon relaxing at the Vintage House spa.

The look and feel of the space is modern Californian, a vision that started in 1948 by the Trinchero family. The esteemed Napa Valley vintners craft wines with estate-grown fruit, hand-selected from the family’s sustainably farmed vineyards throughout Napa Valley. The state-of-the-art winemaking facility and picturesque estate in St. Helena offers visitors a modern, luxurious experience.

The Yountville-based wine business is a family affair—run by Michael Stewart and his children—so it’s only natural they wanted to open a tasting room with a convivial, easygoing vibe. The property includes a café and a library, lots of outdoor space, and a wood-burning fireplace. No reservations required! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1545938700388-BSWSPIL78Y02LZ41DU61/tk.com_byv_homepage10.29_1.1c.new_.jpg Napa - French Dining: Bouchon Bistro Bouchon is famed chef Thomas Keller’s take on casual French bistro food. It’s sort of impossible to call out the best menu items because everything is great. Bonus: they have a late-night menu, which can be a game-changer on a long Napa night after too many wine tastings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1545948773156-02US08V7N6A2HYSAQELU/584_gallery_03_lg.jpg Napa - Over-the-top: JCB Tasting Salon Jean-Charles Boisset, proprietor of the colorful Raymond Vineyards, dreamed up a vision for a wild tasting salon in Yountville, which recently opened in 2016.

From her uncle, Arianna learned the proper way of laboring the vineyards and winemaking. Arianna manages the entire operation, using the “sovescio” technique (green manure), and leaves the wild Mediterranean vegetation, with the aim to preserve the biodiversity and have a natural oxygenation of the soil. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562549243532-47DOW2DE8P2MQW46H2HF/Caltagirone-Ceramica-1.jpg T + N noto - ceramics: TERRACOTTA CERAMICHE di CALTAGIRONE This is where the cognoscenti (including Dolce & Gabbana) head for beautiful ceramics from Caltagirone, a central Sicilian town famed for its ceramic production. Fusing classical motifs and bold, contemporary style, its stock includes iconic teste di Moro (Moor heads) and conversation-piece vases and bowls in rich, intense colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562345925798-2C4ENV3K2YHC3AYPK9MD/calamosche.jpg T + N noto - beach: VENDICARI Situated on the southern-most part of Sicily’s east coast, Vendicari is a mixture of lagoons (pantano), sand dunes, rocky coastlines, and sandy beaches. Also within the reserve are a series of buildings, including a 15th Century tower built by Peter of Aragon (known as the Torre Sveva), a tonnara (tuna fishery) and several old fishermen’s houses. My recommendation: Calamosci, which requires a 30 min walk from your parking spot. Be sure to bring a towel, blanket, hat, and picnic lunch! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562547491245-981E5RVEO084B3TLF4H6/ortigia-market-24.jpg T + N noto - ORTYGIA MARKET While exploring the island, be sure to stop by the lively Ortigia Market on Via de Benedictis, which sells the freshest local products. Be sure to try a Sicilian specialty, such as snails or pistachios, and chat to the colorful vendors, who are happy to take you through their wares. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562279474737-GBPIKXZ6OUZKJA1XEHVR/Screen+Shot+2019-07-04+at+6.28.47+PM.png T + N noto - pastry: CAFFE SICILIA When in Noto, a visit to the outwardly unassuming 124-year-old Caffè Sicilia is a must. The fourth-generation co-owners serve up many things, among the best is the almond-milk granita and cappuccino ghiacciato (iced coffee with almond milk granita). When it comes to the pastries, ask for a recommendation, as new creations are served every day :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562186770906-RR1VG8YF473D4P1HARJD/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-07-03%2Bat%2B4.44.42%2BPM.jpg T + N noto - country lunch: IL BAGLIETTO For a beautiful lunch in the countryside, Il Blagietto is the move. This lovely restaurant is open-air, with tables set under a canopy of olive trees (though picnic blankets / eating on the ground is totally kosher). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562186311219-MQF9CNYZQD6P02KITNPA/manna_noto_10.jpg T + N noto - dinner: IL CROCIFISSO or MANNA NOTO* CROCIFISSO: Up the hill from Noto’s main street is a low-key building occupied by the handsome Ristorante Crocifisso, whose chef, Marco Baglieri, serves up inventive dishes using the freshest local ingredients. Locals and visitors alike rave about the outstanding wine list, cheesy eggplant, and sea urchin pasta. MANNA NOTO: Housed in a former wine cellar, Manna Noto is one of the more chic restaurants in town. The whymsical, stylish decor is matched by an equally cool menu. Be sure to ask for a wine recommendation - the wine list is known to have unique and unexpected choices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562450413789-5YYVWJD1UGRND2E9BXIX/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-07-06%2Bat%2B5.52.18%2BPM.jpg T + N noto - winery: COS WINERY* After a morning visit to to Ragusa or Modica, drive over to COS winery in Vittoria. Here you may meet Giusto Occhipinti, one of the 3 founders, and certainly one of the most important, influential, producers in all of Sicily. In order to protect the region’s precious soil, COS (along with most other products) work organically and biodynamically. More interestingly, COS uses 440-liter clay amphorae instead of casks. This calls for an interesting tour, and an even better educational tasting experience! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562535388757-FI2TBM30FY0BVE2FSNUS/SULTANO-3270377-800x600.jpg T + N noto - ragusa/fine dining: CICCIO SULTANO DUOMO* In an old restored building with a modern interior in an open space setting, the famous chef Ciccio Sultano has opened a ‘basilica of taste’ where he offers a large range of bread varieties, appetizers, main dishes and homemade desserts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562545287394-1SRG4QSTP352XF99L593/Ortigia-Syracuse-ornaoreilly-7.jpg T + N noto - ISOLA di ORTYGIA The historical center of Syracuse is located on the island of Ortygia, connected to mainland via two bridges.

Its origins lie in the worship of the goddess Minerva, but its most striking feature has to be the combination of beautiful baroque and rococo architecture. The edifice was constructed in 1753 and is a magnificent sight, best admired from one of the cute cafés in the piazza! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562184993405-Q6CAIR4WLWDCR9Q17BP6/C_2_fotogallery_3088239_12_image.jpg T + N noto - SOUTHEASTERN SICILY AUG 30 - SEP 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562547972900-VMR5VBLXUTGFZ3KXS3CT/matt-hranek-noto-9.jpg T + N noto - on the drive down: seaside lunch at TRATTORIA IL RIZZARI* If you’re looking for a fantastic lunch on your way from Catania to Noto, I Rizzari, near Agusta in Brucoli, is a worthwhile seafood pilgrimage. The dark interior of this tiny family-run bar and trattoria opens onto an unwittingly shabby-chic, sun-dappled deck by the sea. Try the sweet local shrimp, mixed seafood pasta with fresh tomatoes, and grilled octopus served on a wooden board. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562551006768-9BPIXJUZRRTUQK3EQQZ3/castello-maniace-sezione-gallery-1.jpg T + N noto - CASTELLO MANIACE Guarding the island's southern tip, Ortygia's 13th-century castle is a lovely place to wander through.. The castle grounds house two exhibitions, one shedding light on the fortress' evolution through the centuries, the other displaying archaeological objects from the site, including Norman-era ceramics and ceramic hand grenades from the 16th century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562345748788-H9J0D5NL8CAAM0WI0JMV/15_noto-town.jpg T + N noto - town: NOTO Start your day with a visit to the Duomo, and a walk along Corso Vittorio Emmanuele - you’ll get the best glimpse of the town’s architectural gems. Note that the region experienced a devastating earthquake back in 1693 - so most everything you see is the result of baroque town planning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562550264093-50PNXJ8SH9RZZKT6Q0KW/28692167088_8814095959_b.jpg T + N noto - FONTANA ARETUSA Down the winding main street from the cathedral is this ancient spring, where fresh water still bubbles up just as it did in ancient times (when it was the city's main water supply). Legend has it that the goddess Artemis transformed her beautiful handmaiden Aretusa into the spring to protect her from the unwelcome attention of the river god Alpheus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562550553247-55WMIUNN5ADCBGGYNYXD/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-07-07%2Bat%2B9.48.31%2BPM.jpg T + N noto - elegant dinner: DON CAMILLO* One of Ortygia's more elegant restaurants, Don Camillo specializes in great service and innovative Sicilian cuisine.

Modica is also the capital of high-end chocolate production, which dates to the 1500s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1562347340358-C1IAQKDM0M4AMX7N1DFB/A-view-of-Ragusa-Ibla.jpg T + N noto - old town: RAGUSA IBLA An hour northwest of Noto, the town of Ragusa was also decimated by the earthquake in 1693 and rebuilt in the Baroque style. Don’t miss the Donnafugata Castle and the Piazza Duomo, an open, palm tree–filled reprieve from the town’s narrow alleys.

The restaurant is cozy with bar-style seating, and the owners are as charming as they come. The son will take care to explain to you every dish on the daily menu :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1570132331468-IA02FNQZFLSUVI3XGK0B/image-asset.jpeg florence guide - UFFIZI As one of the most highly-visited attractions in the city, the Uffizi can be hard to manage. The best way to visit is to reserve tickets in advance, link here. You can pick up tickets at door 3 - you'll still have to wait in line, but it'll be much shorter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1570132363165-6KIPRYUTKF5VVWC91V5O/image-asset.jpeg florence guide - BRANCACCI CHAPEL For art history majors + Renaissance enthusiasts, the Brancacci Chapel is a must.

The 14-room boutique hotel is designed in a Deco-influenced contemporary style. Rooms are equipped with all the modern necessities, from soundproof windows and Nespresso machines. Guests have access to the heated pool on the patio, as well as the rooftop terrace — and a small spa completes the luxury-boutique package. And while there’s no shortage of drinking and dining options in the surrounding neighborhood, if you’d prefer a night in you’ll find the hotel’s own restaurant and bar are great. You can access your hotel confirmation below. Note: your room rate includes breakfast at the hotel :) Confirmation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579662718687-W6LZ5Q79U1E33I4318H6/tour_img-2271767-146.jpg T + J buenos aires - LA BOCA / CAMINITO The La Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires has a reputation for being a little sketchy, however considering it's home to the Boca Juniors stadium, and many of the city’s best restaurants (Don Carlos, Patagonia Sur), the charming street is well worth the trip (and is walkable from quaint San Telmo). The area’s charm lies in the mish-mash of brightly painted houses situated along the cobbled streets lined with artists and craftspeople. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579890589823-J7E9Q2PTL8TWQM3OQAZK/La-Carniceria-15768-8753496d-ef47-4d79-b048-2c8084dbc38b.jpg T + J buenos aires - modern parilla: LA CARNICERIA There’s a new breed of design-focused parrillas (steak houses) in Buenos Aires, and currently the hottest is La Carnicería. Everything is sourced from a family farm in the Pampas, and is served in traditionally enormous Argentinian portions. Start your meal with the peach-topped grilled provolone, served sizzling on a cast-iron skillet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579637658461-V2JILKI3M7I1MGW39BXY/image-asset.jpeg T + J buenos aires - BUENOS AIRES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579663611895-ZYUXHUU9QLZG0070MUAS/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-01-21%2Bat%2B10.25.58%2BPM.jpg T + J buenos aires - RECOLETA Recoleta is BA’s traditional, classic-style neighborhood. Many consider it a place for high end locals / ladies who lunch, but it does offer a wide array of experiences that BA’s hip enclaves can’t match. It mixes fine dining with street food, fine arts with craft cocktails, and it is home to one of the world’s most oft-visited cemeteries. The cemetery sounds grim, but is very interesting & worth a visit. I suggest getting an audio guide or reading up online prior to visiting! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579885767414-6JRMZZQAE590WZ3UGKRT/IMG_2733-620x536.jpg T + J buenos aires - FUTBOL In BA, the two big teams are River and Boca. If there’s a home game available, you should definitely get tickets and go. The games can get pretty rowdy, so if you want to feel more safe / have a guided experience, get tickets through Landingpadba (a local agency). You go in a “VIP” section that is generally all tourists, you have a halftime “lounge” with some soda and little snacks and they provide transportation to and from. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579884924187-5FUBM4YUWOEWJ9EE2NB4/dscf3937.jpg T + J buenos aires - TANGO + SALSA If you’re interesting in seeing or learning tango, go to a real tango milonga, not a tango show (tango shows are staged & overpriced). You can either go to a tango milonga on your own, watch the amateurs and aficionados dance while you enjoy some (good) cheap wine or you can hire someone to take you to the milongas and have a lesson. La Catedral is in an old flour warehouse, has lots of lessons and is pretty laid back. Another great option is Parakultural at Salon Canning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579984191388-JXNWI5WDC8UGH2I40ROW/asado_centro_980_0.jpg T + J buenos aires - local favorite: EL POBRE LUIS Fútbol jerseys line the walls at El Pobre Luis, a bustling Chinatown parrilla. Locals pack the house to order salchicha parrilleras and Uruguayan pamplonas, either beef, chicken, or pork stuffed with cheese, ham, and roasted red peppers, rolled up, and cooked on the parrilla. Head to the bar for the best seat in the house, which overlooks head parrillero Beto Niz on the grill. The crispy sweetbreads, also referred to as the caviar of the parrilla, are a must-order. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579984874859-4FMX7FAQUIZ56JEBJVMH/9a3c6031432dadd7d219533428e2977e.jpg T + J buenos aires - upscale: PATAGONIA SUR Bringing the gaucho tradition to La Boca, famed pampa chef Francis Mallman set up his grill at this renovated Italianate town house not far from the brightly painted houses and tango dances on Caminito. The menu, as meat-centric as any, is a three-course sampler (there’s no a la carte) centering on Argentine specialties like succulent roasted Patagonian lamb and ojo de bife, aka rib eye, with chimichurri, as well as soulful plays on empanadas and veggies. As is the menu, the wine list is quite pricey, offering up bottles from top Argentine bodegas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579663305045-ZETT37EXPCL8UKWAKNQ6/9bd70c69354b0d276917f1d44d5c701a.jpg T + J buenos aires - PALERMO Palermo is the largest neighborhood in BA, and a hub for foodies, art fans, and shoppers.

The center in Puerto Madero is a converted flour mill, and retains many of the unique turn-of-the-century industrial details. There are tons of museums in BA, but considering how much traveling you’ve done (and museums you’ve seen), I think it’s worth seeing something more unique to BA (like the Faena)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579886170465-00WOOAE8EW1XFAL3JIN1/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-01-24%2Bat%2B12.15.21%2BPM.jpg T + J buenos aires - FOOD TOUR Pick Up the Fork is a favorite among friends - founder Allie has a great instagram site and runs customized food tours. She also posts a ton of info on all things food in BA (click the image to see her site). If you’re interested in booking, she can be contacted at feedme@pickupthefork.com, or I would be happy to book for you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579891223537-I7UUPUYR0QZ7N6DUPFPK/Screen%252BShot%252B2020-01-24%252Bat%252B1.37.59%252BPM.jpg T + J buenos aires - jewish: MISHIGUENE Mishiguene is a city-wide favorite, specializing in Israeli and Jewish cooking. Apart from the menu, the restaurant is known for the high-energy, hip crowd and live music (on Friday nights). You can order a la carte, do the full tasting menu, or opt for the chef's table menu inside the kitchen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579662893925-9A2U7EQX4SOEXIUBE1ZG/photo-1552085903-5301914d62e8.jpg T + J buenos aires - TEATRO COLON Without question, Teatro Colón is one of the world’s most breathtaking opera houses. The building itself has gone through many incarnations amidst plenty of turmoil (an anarchist bombing in 1910, the murder of one of its architects) - the latest refurbishment was completed in 2010. Take a tour—which includes the deep catacombs beneath the building—or dress up and attend a performance :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1580408524155-VCU2JFGSIVV1DA6Z4VH2/Julieta-Oriolo-la-alacena-1.jpg T + J buenos aires - italian: LA ALACENA La Alacena serves up fabulous homemade Italian dishes in a light and sunny corner café in Palermo. The bistro covers all bases - brunch, lunch, and dinner. Food here is rustic - choose from toasted sandwiches, homemade pasta, or antipasti. I recommend going for lunch! Another fabulous non-Argentinian spot is Gran Dabbang - Indian fusion. Kind of like a Win-Son, but Indian-South American. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579896608546-PJNU27B1IVOMTUBUM95K/uco.jpg T + J buenos aires - wine + all-day: UCO Located in the boutique Fierro Hotel, Uco is a wine-centric restaurant (over 300 labels available) serving a farm-to-fork menu with everything down to the charcuterie prepped in-house daily. If you need a break meat, try one of their vegetarian or fish paellas (or don’t and order the eighteen-hour shoulder of Patagonian lamb). Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579662619907-ZTAW5KYS5S43OKDA500C/25d65a28a7acecf36121cc6ce9a54450.jpg T + J buenos aires - SAN TELMO MARKET This market has served locals since 1897, when it was originally founded as a marketplace for the waves of European immigrants. Most of the stalls—selling all manner of knick-knacks, antiques, records, and crafts—are open daily. A separate Sunday flea market happens every weekend in the same quaint plaza, oftentimes with live tango as an accompaniment. Stop by the charming Bar Plaza Dorrego for a post-flea pick-me-up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579895739247-VTNXNWRLXXMMQW1TZ9YF/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-01-24%2Bat%2B2.54.58%2BPM.jpg T + J buenos aires - classic cafe: TORTONI Cafe Tortoni is touristy but beautiful and worth a visit (kind of like Cafe de Flore in Paris). As one of the oldest cafes in Argentina, Tortoni was once the spot for the city's artists, poets, singers and intellectuals to convene over a glass of wine or espresso. The atmosphere is electric pretty much any time you visit the cafe, but it is particularly crowded at lunch time and tea time (around 5 o'clock). *La Biela is another great old-school, traditional BA Cafe :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1580408298728-VERC3WKTB7UL0CVLRJ3W/IMG_8492.jpg T + J buenos aires - brunch: SALVAJE Tucked away in a space that was formerly a mechanic shop in the Palermo Hollywood neighborhood is Salvaje Bakery. The casual indoor-outdoor space serves up some of the best bread in the city (try the sourdough) at all hours of the day,. Brunch is also excellent. Whether you stay for a meal or stop by for a snack, be sure to try the spicy Bloody Mary or Aperol Spritz. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1579888566660-M462KZ3HNNSYF2DFVUQP/Screen+Shot+2020-01-24+at+12.55.59+PM.png T + J buenos aires - latin american: iLATINA iLatina is located in a beautifully refurbished house in residential Villa Crespo, and is known for great Latin American food, a beautiful space, and attentive service. The place used to be a “closed-door” restaurant experience - something that has become increasingly popular in BA in recent years (essentially a secret suppler club). Now that it has formally become a restaurant, iLatina is no secret to locals and foreigners, so you can expect an international crowd. If you want a closed door experience, ask your concierge for the best new spots. https://www.ahlcollective.com/c-g-maui daily 0.75 2020-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1580491996960-Z3BWBTKPOL9URX7WV44G/79.jpg C + G maui - HELI TOURS Fly over the well-known Haleakala Crater, the rainforests of Hana, the West Maui Mountains, and the island’s tallest waterfall.

It’s one of those quintessentially Hawaiian surf towns where the beaches are the main attraction: While Ho’okipa beach is where you want to be to watch the local surfers tackle the famously fat swells, Baldwin beach is best if you plan on getting in the water (the surf is mild).

Curated and designed by Japanese designer Hiroki Nakamura. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603231512480-T8FE2BKJM83BOM1F2CJ8/georgia-okeeffe-cr0940.jpg Santa Fe - Georgia O’Keefe Home + Museum Located in downtown Santa Fe, this perfectly sized museum is dedicated to the artistic life of Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986) and houses the single largest collection of the artist's work in the world. Rotating exhibits often include O'Keeffe's iconic desert landscape paintings alongside lesser-known gems painted in Lake George and Hawaii. Often, notable pieces from established peers and contemporaries like Ansel Adams, Jackson Pollock, and Andy Warhol join hers on the walls. *Tickets required. *Unfortunately, Georgia O’Keeffe’s home in Abiquiu is closed for the remainder of 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603047270511-FM6BMGK0P2PR5LF1WM6R/5dce9b38a8c4102faaea2dda_Rosewood%2BInn%2Bof%2Bthe%2BAnasazi%252C%2Bhero.jpg Santa Fe - Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi The Rosewood in Santa Fe honors the area’s early native Anasazi tribe—reflected in the Inn’s ethos and interiors. Textiles, paintings, carvings, and baskets handmade by local Native American talent fill this intimate space, where adobe walls, rich wood floors, and kiva fireplaces are found in every room. The rooms are small-ish, but there’s a cozy communal living room with a fireplace where you can order cocktails. Ahl Collective Amenities (per room): $50 breakfast credit for two, upgrade on arrival (subject to avail.), $125 food & beverage credit Cancellation Policy: Full refund if cancelled 21 days prior to arrival (before December 6).

The sophisticated dining room is subtly Southwestern, formal, but cozy. The formal plating of the meals suits the dining room, with traditional dishes like elk tenderloin and ahi tuna on offer. They also have a lounge with great cocktails and a smaller menu for something a bit more casual. *Reservations recommended. Another great dinner option is Compound. The menu is inspired by region ingredients with a Southwestern-meets-Mediterranean focus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603221664446-IFCV2CKDNB5EEMF592S6/sig51097.jpg Santa Fe - Aspen Vista Trail The fantastic Aspen Vista Trail is high up in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains along a rocky, dirt road. The out-and-back trail leads your through a snow-covered aspen forest - great for hiking or snowshoeing depending on the weather. If you don't have your own gear, you can rent snowshoes and poles at Cottam's Ski Shop, on the way up the mountain - you'll just need sturdy hiking boots to wear with the snowshoes, as well as warm clothing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603162321183-UTCM6HHD6QZF9U67CMUR/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-10-19%2Bat%2B10.51.00%2BPM.jpg Santa Fe - Spa at Loretto The famous spa at the Loretto Inn (next door to the Loretto chapel) has a homespun vibe—starting with the massage oils, which the spa director makes herself. All the standard treatments are on offer, from facials and milk baths to couples' massage, plus a room outfitted with a Vichy shower for water therapy. Another fabulous option is the Ten Thousand Waves Spa, a stunningly beautiful Japanese-style spa located in the hills just ten minutes from downtown Santa Fe. The spa is consistently ranked among the top spas in the country, and the restaurant, Izanami is fabulous for creative Japanese small plates and an extensive sake list (even better - you can wear your kimono from the spa to the restaurant). Ojo Caliente is another one of our favorites, but is temporarily closed at this time. We will check back closer to your arrival date! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603052374953-ZHZ8Z2AQL0I7MNZU12A1/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-10-18%2Bat%2B4.18.22%2BPM.jpg Santa Fe - Hearty Brunch: Cafe Pasqual’s The first thing you'll notice about Pasqual's is the interior, defined by turquoise paint and New Mexican bits and bobs. The menu here is long, with a healthy mix of salads and classic New Mexican dishes, plus a few fan favorites like the famous quinoa burger. They're open three meals a day, but locals will tell you that breakfast is the best. *Right now, Pasqual’s is only open for take-out, with the exception of dinner. We’ll check back to closer to your arrival date! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603223387334-PPPI237FIBHX2BRAVUGU/IMG_6862.jpg Santa Fe - Light Breakfast: Modern General Modern General is hybrid of a general store, juice bar, and bakery in one. The walls of the airy, barn-like space are filled with items for the home, garden, and pantry. In the back, there's a juice bar with plenty of healthy snacks and lunch items, all sourced from Wade's farm, and tables with Wifi for customers. *Right now, Modern General is not open, but we will check again prior to your arrival :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603161575194-U5BNRR6FTGX70S4DEAFC/Screen%252BShot%252B2020-10-19%252Bat%252B10.36.02%252BPM.jpg Santa Fe - Peters Projects Santa Fe In a town where a lot of the galleries can be kitschy, Peters Projects offers ambitious exhibitions of contemporary art that would transfer easily to a larger city. Their stable of artists includes several impressive young native artists, and they often have works from more well-known names like Chuck Close, Kiki Smith, and Bruce Conner. Check the calendar for one of their public art talks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603051455201-5U4JH3H42N4EA3LZH5J3/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-10-18%2Bat%2B4.03.45%2BPM.jpg Santa Fe - Farm to Table: Radish & Rye At Radish & Rye, chef David Gaspar de Alba serves up a menu of fresh, seasonal fare, inspired by finds from the local farmers market. The cocktail program alone is reason enough to visit - mixologist/sommelier Quinn Mark Stephenson offers for than 50 varieties of bourbon, among other things. *Reservations recommended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603226496994-F9B5PRY88RVSGI7W69L6/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-10-20%2Bat%2B4.41.04%2BPM.jpg Santa Fe - White Sands National Park ‍For those who have the time and transportation during the Santa Fe winter, White Sands is a must-visit. This 275-square-mile desert is the world’s largest gypsum dunefield, and the colder months provide ideal daytime temperatures for exploring the sandy waves. *Open every day except for December 25th, but be sure to check their website for details about possible missile testing as the monument is surrounded by a missile range and air force base. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603223677087-KLWR9QIJ9VNGQ5A5DWRJ/d9b3cb55_3a9b_4867_a4cc_1913200ae96b_6c142712-5661-4cec-b9be-970724a1616e.jpg Santa Fe - Burgers & Shakes: Shake Foundation For a quick, casual lunch (or sweet treat), Shake Foundation is the place to go. They’re known for their take on New Mexico’s iconic green chile cheeseburger, but the local Taos ice cream shakes are the real draw. Flavors change daily, ranging from standard vanilla and chocolate to lavender and salted caramel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603161529659-UCKKKNHJQYHJ73GJ2RF8/e1eeb040d57c84f68e838f45513ef363.jpg Santa Fe - Loretto Chapel The Loretto Chapel is undoubtedly famous for its spiral staircase. Today, architects and mechanics consider the staircase to be a structural marvel, as it contains two full rotations with no central support (not to mention that it was built entirely using wooden pegs, with no hammers or glue of any kind). It's just a few blocks off the Plaza, so plan to stop in when you're making your way through town. Tip: The bar at the Loretto Hotel next-door is a great place for a drink after. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603053838066-O2T7ICDC3S40QBJIIWKZ/Canyon%252BRoad%252BSanta%252BFe.jpg Santa Fe - Canyon Road Galleries Start with a coffee or tea at Teahouse, and make your way along this half-mile stretch of galleries. Native American art, historical and contemporary Latino art, and international folk art all coexist as part of an array of more than a hundred shops showcasing paintings, sculpture, hand-made jewelry, and pottery. Some of the spots are kitschier than others, but it’s just as much about the scenery as it is about the art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603160212935-8LCIQJUGUIBD1ZTW9XHD/IMG_3166.jpg Santa Fe - SITE Santa Fe The first thing you’ll notice about SITE is its façade: Designed by Los Angeles-based architect Greg Lynn, the structure’s exterior is a work of art in and of itself. The relatively small contemporary art museum houses regional, national, and international exhibitions in the middle of the Railyard Arts district. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a728b1ed7bdce4907e52a70/1603046685656-2SQDC18J9DNBLKJNEDLY/image.jpg Santa Fe https://www.ahlcollective.com/alexis-docs daily 0.75 2021-11-18 https://www.ahlcollective.com/holtan-docs daily 0.75 2022-06-08 https://www.ahlcollective.com/greece-lax-docs daily 0.75 2022-07-06 https://www.ahlcollective.com/burwell-docs daily 0.75 2022-09-11 https://www.ahlcollective.com/dabney-docs-1 daily 0.75 2022-09-11 https://www.ahlcollective.com/cope-z-docs daily 0.75 2023-01-13 https://www.ahlcollective.com/burwell-rosier-docs daily 0.75 2023-05-22 https://www.ahlcollective.com/new-page-5 daily 0.75 2023-05-22
