Traditional French Christmas Dessert, Bouche de Noel; Photo Credit: afloden Hosting Thanksgiving was exhausting, so we think you should take a break for Christmas and dine out this year. Especially because — while we’re sure everyone loves your “secret recipe” egg casserole — hotel restaurants around the world are serving up some pretty amazing dishes…
Black Friday is quickly approaching. Prepare yourself. While this day is famous for holiday music and amazing deals, it’s infamous for long lines and crazed shoppers who seem to need that last toy on the shelf just a little too badly — and there’s no way their kid was better than yours in 2014! But…
There are a million ways to celebrate during the holiday season, but here at Oyster, it’s not a holiday unless we’re traveling — no surprise there, huh? Exploring a new city (or rediscovering a familiar one) is especially exciting during this oh-so-festive time of year. White lights twinkle, snow flurries fall (or the sun shines…
For true foodies, a vacation that doesn’t involve mouth-watering cuisine is hardly worthy of the title. In fact, food can often be a major focus of a trip; it’s hardly uncommon for the taste connoisseurs among us to plan a foodcation. And in our opinion, it should all start with your hotel. If you stay…
It’s time to get your spook on. Halloween is just two short weeks away, and for many that means shaking out the costumes, buying some candy and cueing the Monster Mash marathon.

When we seek quieter, more intimate getaways, we head to these cottages, inns, and bed-and-breakfasts for some R&R. Hidden Pond, Maine
Staying in a New England inn during foliage season is the quintessential fall vacation. If you’re conjuring up images of historic mansions, elegant antiques, thick oriental rugs, and cozy fireplaces for those crisp fall nights – well, you’re right on the money. These ten inns all have charm to spare. Ale House Inn, New Hampshire
Whether it’s overlooking a beach, set in the middle of a desert, across the water from a lit-up metropolis, or tucked away on a remote and picturesque hillside somewhere, there’s nothing quite like a hotel with amazing views. This is why we’ve trekked from coast to coast seeking out the best views this country has…
With everything that’s going on in the world today, it’s nice to occasionally be reminded that simple things do exist — and they’re what counts, right? So sometimes a holiday in the big city surrounded by tall buildings, swarms of people, and a constant cacophony — while invigorating — doesn’t quite match the mold in…
