Here’s what to know before you go to Viola’s Room, by Punchdrunk
My whole trip to New York was “artsy.” I had a slate of museum visits already, but Viola’s Room at The Shed provided an additional kiss of culture to fill my creative soul. To say that I saw the exhibit would be inaccurate. This auditory presentation is one that you have to experience. Crouching, slithering,…

And now, the food at the Langham Hotel in New York
When I booked my stay at the Langham Hotel in New York City, I did it through American Express. That gave me daily breakfasts, a credit to be used for dining, and a whole lot of excuses to try the food. Multiple mornings, I started breakfasts in their dining room. On one side of the…

Quick note about the service at the Langham Hotel NYC
Yesterday, I started writing about my experience at the Langham Hotel in New York. You can read about my thoughts on the room (or not, the spoiler is that I was not impressed) but today I’m focused on the other aspects of the hotel. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by the front desk staff.…

These are the hotels I’m recommending, if you’re wondering
Voting for the Travel+Leisure awards has opened. Here are four hotels I will be nominating. It’s only right for me to start this off with the hotel that started it all for me. 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge was the first “nice” hotel I ever stayed at and gave a glimpse into what excellent service meant.…

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. Some of the same elements that were meant to assist with sleep were still there. The only in-room difference I…

I had to try this energy boosting treatment at Equinox for myself
I entered the dimly lit room hoping it would be exactly what I needed. It was the start of my session on the Spa Wave Table at Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards. I had been looking forward to trying this treatment since February, back when my plan had been thwarted when it was out of service.…
