Artechouse used Love is Blind to its advantage
I went to Artechouse back in February. It was an immersive experience that allowed me to experience the creative power of AI. I went alone and was able to linger in each space and contemplate for an extended time. I look fondly on that time and plan to get over there to see more exhibits.…

Equinox Hotel is becoming one of my favorites for this reason
I previously stayed using the Science of Sleep package, but I had a sneaking suspicion that the package didn’t add all that much to my experience. I wanted to know what the “regular experience” was.

Flashback to a good meal at Hav and Mar
Back in February, I walked into Hav and Mar on a busy Thursday night. The New York restaurant was a buzz, fully of fashionable people. The hostess seated me quickly at the bar. The restaurant is one of Marcus Samuelsson’s. It is, in my opinion, an ode to the beauty of the cuisine in the…

I really like the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge
I went back to the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. Truthfully, it was the first really nice hotel I had ever stayed at and set the standard for me as to what a hotel experience could and should be like. This time around I booked using the Mastercard Travel services to take advantage of some of…

In memoriam to my favorite part of the hotel experience: The mini shampoo
As a child, my favorite part of staying in a hotel was getting the tiny bottles of shampoo. It was like a free souvenir (that my parents definitely paid for). As an adult, I continued to revel in having the little takeaways from my journeys. Only now, that is becoming a rarer and rarer pleasure.…

Equinox Hotel has a Science of Sleep package. Here’s how it went down.
During my stay at the Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards, I opted to try out the Science of Sleep package. Truth be told, it was one of the reasons why I was so eager to try this hotel. I had visions of myself, entering the hotel haggard from all the work and nights staying up way…
