For others, it’s more about visiting bucket-list attractions, like the Empire State Building, Central Park, and American Museum of Natural History. New York’s broad appeal shows in the numbers: It’s the…
As thousands of federal workers across the country went unpaid due to the government shutdown, the nation’s air safety came into serious question today. According to CNN, Laguardia Airport in New York City was placed on a ground halt for several hours Friday as air traffic issues piled up due to staff shortages at regional…
Los Angeles gets all the attention for being an urban city with beautiful beaches, and while that’s partially due to Southern California’s pleasant year-round climate, it would be a mistake to ignore New York City‘s easy, breezy summer beach access.

Ask any New Yorker and they’ll tell you that the city is expensive — thanks to sky-high rents, pricey restaurants, and $15 movie tickets — but there’s also a way to experience NYC on a budget.

Brought to you by artistic duo Christo and Jeanne-Claude, this two-week public installation in Lake Iseo, Italy is nothing short of incredible.

What does heaven look like? My personal take is sprawling velvet sofas, golden capped ceilings, illuminated bars that serve every cocktail you could possibly desire, piles of “Hello” magazine at my fingertips, and pummeling massages on request.
