I’m well aware of dynamic pricing. You know? How different sporting events for the same team will differ based on their opponents and seats in the stadium.

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.…

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…
