Saya menghabiskan akhir pekan yang panjang di Austin, Texas, dimana saya berkesempatan untuk mewawancarai pengusaha hotel punk Liz Lambert (Hotel St. Cecilia, Hotel San Jose) di restoran barunya, Joann's (dinamai setelah ibunya:logonya adalah ciuman lipstik merah khasnya), yang dilampirkan ke Austin Motel dan sangat lucu. Putri saya senang menghabiskan waktu di motel Bodega, yang menjual mainan jadul beserta cetakan jadul baru, hadiah, dan makanan ringan, dan memiliki sofa besar yang mengundang Anda untuk tinggal sebentar. Saya juga berkesempatan untuk mengenal The Carpenter Hotel, yang baru, cerah, luas, tampan, dan memiliki konter kopi kecil yang sangat bagus yang menyajikan roti kayu manis dan migas dan hal-hal lain yang akan menghancurkan harapan untuk makan dengan baik untuk hari itu, Oh, 9 pagi. Jika Anda menuju ke arah itu, pastikan untuk makan di restoran Italia Fiore Tedesco yang luar biasa dan tersembunyi L'Oca d'Oro, yang memiliki soundtrack yang bagus dan pasta buatan tangan yang aneh. – Jeralyn

Saya menghabiskan akhir pekan terakhir ini di Charleston dengan tim Garden &Gun yang cantik, menyerap semua pesona Selatan dan merayakan Penghargaan Made in the South tahunan mereka. Seiring dengan serangkaian obrolan api unggun dengan pembuat selera Selatan seperti Hampden's Stacy Smallwood dan pemilik restoran lokal Brooks Reitz, bagian favorit saya dari akhir pekan yang dipenuhi acara adalah makan malam al fresco oleh koki Selatan Asha Gomez yang merayakan pemenang penghargaan di Aiken-Rhett House yang bersejarah. Saya beruntung karena tidak hanya menginap di satu tapi dua hotel yang sangat ingin saya kunjungi — The Dewberry dan Zero George — dan menyukai keduanya. Juga dalam agenda saya:makan ayam goreng terbaik di Husk, tur ke Showhouse Gaya Selatan Sekarang, berbelanja di Wynsum Antiques &Interiors, dan berjalan-jalan santai di sekitar distrik bersejarah yang selalu fotogenik. – Beri, editor senior

Saat berada di Los Angeles, Saya membagi masa tinggal saya antara timur dan barat, mencurahkan sebagian besar waktu saya untuk menemukan dan makan produk super segar dan minum minuman dengan adaptogen dan mentega kelapa. Tapi saya memutar dengan croissant di sebuah acara di toko dekorasi rumah pop-up Heather Taylor yang indah di Westwood. Dan makan di restoran paling Venesia-y di Venesia, MTN, gastropub Cali-Jepang dari orang-orang Gjelina / Gjusta. Selama tinggal di Los Feliz, Saya sudah sarapan, makan siang, makan malam, dan istirahat minum di Botanica, yang merupakan jenis kafe/pasar/restoran komunal yang saya harap berada dalam jarak berjalan kaki dari apartemen saya di Brooklyn. Sehat, berkelanjutan, makanan yang dikemas dengan baik dari Honey Hi adalah hal terbaik tentang perjalanan pulang dengan pesawat. –Jeralyn

Saya baru saja kembali dari Savannah dan dengan senang hati melaporkan bahwa hal-hal baru sedang terjadi di kota tua Selatan yang menawan ini. Festival Makanan dan Anggur sabana, diselenggarakan di halaman rel tua, adalah undian besar akhir pekan yang saya kunjungi, tapi saya berada di kota untuk memeriksa The Alida Hotel, butik baru di distrik River Street yang perlahan berkembang. Berpakaian ke sembilan oleh perusahaan desain NYC Parts and Labor, hotel jauh melebihi harapan saya. Juga baru di kota:The Grey Market, layanan counter baru bersama dengan menu sarapan yang luar biasa dari Mashama Bailey, baru-baru ini Meja Koki tepuk tangan sorak, yang menjalankan The Grey beberapa blok jauhnya. Ini adalah Savannah, klasik tidak melakukan apa-apa selain bersinar:sarapan di Collins Quarter, minuman di Artileri, makan malam di Husk, tur hantu, berjalan melalui 24 alun-alun kota, dan es krim di Leopold's. - Daniel

Saya pergi mendaki Gunung Storm King di Lembah Hudson New York selama akhir pekan bersama Discover Outdoors, pakaian petualangan yang menawarkan segalanya mulai dari perjalanan sehari berpemandu hingga perjalanan berkemah beberapa hari hingga penduduk kota (baca:saya) di seluruh AS.

Saya sedang melakukan pendakian navigasi di pedalaman, dan meskipun kita terjebak di jalan setapak, Saya memang belajar cara menggunakan peta dan kompas dengan benar, yang, sebagai pria perjalanan, hampir tampak seperti persyaratan.

Pagi selanjutnya, Saya pulih dengan gulungan daging babi (ketika di Jersey ...) dari lembaga sarapan Frank's Deli &Restaurant dan, setelah jalan-jalan keliling kota, sarapan burrito dengan lebih banyak gulungan daging babi dan es kopi dari Ketentuan Kardinal yang lucu. Ketika saya tidak sedang menikmati AC dan orang-orang yang menonton di hotel The Asbury, Saya berada di pantai menikmati pemandangan dan suara Jersey Shore. - Daniel, editor

SUR BESAR
Saya akhirnya berhasil sampai ke Institut Esalen, kompleks hippie terkenal di bentangan liar garis pantai California. Institut adalah pusat retret nirlaba dan komunitas yang disengaja — tempat bagi orang-orang untuk mengolah tanah untuk makan siang mereka, jelajahi sudut-sudut gelap diri mereka sendiri dan, mungkin, melolong saat bulan purnama (selamat datang di California). Ini telah terjadi sejak tahun 60-an, ketika Hunter S. Thompson menjelajahi hutan, Joan Baez bekerja di kafetaria pecinta quinoa dan kale, and Don Draper found everlasting inner peace and a gazillion-dollar ad idea. The sprawling grounds have simple accommodations, yurts for meditation and yoga, sitting areas for self-reflection, and rustic outdoor baths open 24/7 and perched on a cliff over the Pacific Ocean. – Jeralyn, Direktur editorial

Where We've Been

NORTH FORK, NEW YORK
Team Fathom kicked off Memorial Day weekend with an overnight at Sound View, the newly renovated former motel in Greenport. We couldn't get enough of the views, the sunshine, the sofas, and the coffee in the main lobby area — hats off to Studio Tack for a really well crafted space. Other cute places we liked in town included Little Creek Oyster Farm &Market, Barba Bianca, antiques at Beall &Bell, and the always amazing sandwiches at The North Fork Food Truck.

LOS ANGELES
Last weekend I checked into the ultra glamorous Hotel Bel-Air, a picturesque escape spread across twelve acres of serene gardens with a cute flock of swans, pale pink bungalows and a swimming pool kept at the idyllic temperature of 82 degrees. The entire stay felt like a treat, but my favorite part was the heavily scented air, fragrant with fresh gardenia and jasmine. - Berit, editor senior

LONDON
I booked a quick, last-minute trip to London last weekend and flew the new budget airline Primera. The cons:The tedious check-in process. (I had no luggage; they had no automated ticketing kiosks.) You have to pay for everything on board, including water. There's no in-flight entertainment, and the seat had USB power only one one leg of the trip. The pros:It was a brand new plane with friendly staff. And the biggie:The fare was $800 when the majors were charging $1800. When I was in London, I toured South Place Hotel, a stylish hotel in the City (look for a full article soon), and Kettner's Townhouse, the lovely open-to-everyone Soho House hotel around the corner from their flagship club in Soho. I had two fantastic meals:dinner at Odette's in Primrose Hill and Sunday roast before the flight home at The Quality Chop House in Clerkenwell. Neither restaurant is new, and both were better than ever. - Pavia, CEO

QUOGUE, NEW YORK
I recently had the chance to spend a weekend in the Hamptons the way I imagine it should be spent — in a spectacularly designed, glamorous home with its own pool, bak mandi air panas, and daybeds. The house was in Quogue, the sleepy town east of Westhampton, and is managed by ThirdHome, an exclusive homestay program with a collection of insane second homes around the world. Once you qualify as a member, you can either rent your own second home in exchange for keys, which are used to book nights at other properties at a significant discount, atau, for those without second homes, rent their accommodations the old-fashioned way. It's a cool service for those looking for an upgrade from Airbnb, especially if you’re lucky enough to have a beautiful second house just lying around. - Daniel, editor

PORTLANDIA, MAINE
On a recent trip to Maine, I discovered that the quaint port city of Portland — and specifically the quirky West End neighborhood — is home to cozy restaurants, cool bars (with perfectly distilled spirits and locally brewed beer), and one-of-a-kind indie shops. I stayed at The Francis, a family-run B&B-style hotel nearby, and totally felt like a local. - Delfina, editorial assistant

SOUTH WALTON, FLORIDA
I recently returned from a week in South Walton, an area of sixteen planned beach towns on Florida’s Emerald Coast. Each is unique in design, from the all-white stucco homes of Alys Beach to the pan-Caribbean vibes of Rosemary Beach, which makes for an impossibly charming hodgepodge of small communities. First-time visitors to the Panhandle (like myself) will quickly realize that the Gulf Coast of Florida has a distinctly different feel than the more popular tourist destinations to the south. South Walton is closer to Nashville and New Orleans than it is to Miami, and you can tell:I even heard it referred to as the Redneck Hamptons — a place where gorgeous beaches and great shopping meets good ol’ fashioned Southern hospitality, crayfish, and po’ boys. I stayed in Rosemary Beach at one of the area’s few boutique properties, The Pearl, a charming hotel with distinctive turrets and striped awnings in the center of town, steps away from a private beach. It was a perfect home base. - Rachel, editorial assistant

Where We've Been

I find it funny that on my first trip to Greece, I visited a total of zero islands. But I must say, I was kept pleasantly occupied (and well fed) on the mainland. I started with a few days in Athens, staying nowhere remarkable but spending my time in the city’s hippest neighborhoods. Bel Ray in Koukai, Hotel Chelsea in Pangrati, and The Clumsies and Odori in the city center were all standouts. Heading north to Volos, in the shadow of the mythic Mount Pelion (where the centaurs were believed to live), I learned about the Greek version of meze, which is heavily influenced by culinary traditions of Greeks from Turkey who emigrated to this area in the last century. Here’s how it works:You get one small plate with every round of tsipouro (a grape distillate) you order, ensuring that after eight rounds of the hard stuff, you’re not stumbling home. Capping off our foray into the mainland was Meteora, a series of massive boulder-like rock formations into which monasteries were carved. As the name implies, they truly look like they were dropped from the sky. – Daniel, editor

Where We've Been

TEXAS
Attending the Original Round Top Antiques Fair has been a dream of mine for a few years now, so I jumped at the chance to go with General Motors when they invited me down to Texas to try out the newest model of the Chevrolet Equinox. From Austin, I made the one-hour drive to Rancho Pillow, a kooky 20-acre compound in the tiny town of Round Top, which is flush with cows and bluebonnets. I spent the following day trolling the goods on display at The Big Red Barn before heading back to Austin for a whirlwind 24-hour visit, where I tried to see and do as much as I could. Having a car to navigate the city was key. I was able to squeeze in a lot, including an overnight at the hip South Congress Hotel, a delicious lunch of Vietnamese pho at Elizabeth Street Cafe, and a stop at Ellsworth Kelly's highly Instagrammable Temple for Light . – Beri, editor senior

QATAR
Have you been to Qatar? I hadn't, and was curious what to expect, given that Qatar Airways is promoting the country as a stopover destinaion en route to its eastern Africa and Asia destinations. I spent four days there in March, before the temperatures get too hot to handle, dan, wow, did I pack it in. We went dune bashing in the desert en route to the Inland Sea. Saw the excellent permanent collections at the stunning Museum of Islamic Art, Ai Wei Wei's Laundromat exhibit at the Fire Station, and well-conceived displays at the four fascinating Msheireb Museums, a new development that will soon have a lovelt Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which I previewed. I got a feel for the Arabian equestrian obsession touring the stables at Al Shaqab and watching the races at the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club. I was draped in a burqua to visit Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque, but otherwise wandered freely around Souq Waqif and the absolutely stunning Rem Koolhaas-designed Qatar National Library. Qatar is opening itself to the world through sports (World Cup 2022) and culture. It's not as go-go as Dubai, and that's a very good thing. — Pavia, CEO

SAN FRANCISCO
I just returned from my first proper visit to San Francisco. (A stop en route to Napa doesn’t count.) I had heard conflicting reports from friends who had been, but I loved it. The weather was perfect, which made walking around the Mission, up Bernal Heights Park, down to the Dogpatch, through Hayes Valley, along Chrissy Fields to the Golden Gate Bridge, and back to my room at the newly renovated Hotel Kabuki a breeze. All that strolling was essential considering how much I ate. Highlights included small bites and sake after a hot soak at Onsen; a feast of rabbit, pig head, and abalone at The Progress; an incredibly fresh brunch at the Ferry Building’s best kept secret, Boulettes Larder; and being one of the first diners to experience the luxurious tasting menu from Atelier Cren alum Rodney Wages at Avery. - Daniel, editor

GEORGIA
It's not easy for Americans to reach Georgia (the country!), one of our picks for the top 10 places to visit in 2018, but that makes it all the more interesting. I was expecting a real Russian vibe on my recent 10-day trip to the republic, but the food, anggur, hospitality, rakyat, and landscape reminded me more of the Mediterranean. But that's glossing over it too much, as the place is wholly unique:Georgians have their own alphabet and language, an incredible polyphonic singing tradition, and an 8, 000-year-old natural wine-making practice. With access to Eastern Europe and the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains and Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Western Asia, there's a lot of cultural mixing and matching. And barely an American in sight — yet. (So get in on the ground level.) Your best bet is to begin in Tbilisi, the capital city that's having a bit of a cultural moment (continental creatives are calling it "the next Berlin"), where you should absolutely stay at one of three places:Fabrika (the super cool Brooklyn-in-Eurasia hostel complex), Rooms (the chic boutique hotel), or the soon-to-open Stamba (for the bold, Cantik, and bourgeois), all run by the incredibly savvy and globally inspired Adjara Group. – Jeralyn, Direktur editorial

AUSTRALIA
While Jeralyn was in Georgia, I was in South Australia attending the Australian Tourism Exchange travel show. While there, I visited Kangaroo Island (it's a real place! with kangaroos and wallabies and sea lions and koalas!). There are beaches galore, as well as a natural phenomenon called the Remarkable Rocks which really is remarkable. I stayed at Southern Ocean Lodge — also worth a few superlatives for beauty, serenity, drama, and scenery. The travel show itself was in Adelaide, where highlights included the Botanic Gardens, the Adelaide Biennial Divided Worlds , and my hotel, Mayfair. This area is famous for its wines, and I was happy to have dinner with the owners and winemakers and taste the freshest vintages at Bird in Hand winery and to attend a party at the funky, kooky, art-filled d'Arenberg Cube. Every time I'm in Australia I come away with the same thought:Why don't we all live there? — Pavia

WASHINGTON, D.C.
I flew to Washington D.C. for a few days with friends and family. Man, this town is pretty come spring. Daffodils, tulips, magnolias, and the famous cherry blossoms, best seen along the Tidal Basin, were in full bloom. Translation:Hotels were packed. I found a nice room at The Darcy, a cool downtown boutique with a mead bar and a serious seafood restaurant from Hilton’s Curio Collection, but could not pass up the chance to peek into The Line in Adams Morgan. Housed in a former historic church, the hotel is beautiful and full of lively communal spaces. Spend time here if you can:Dinner at the wood-burning restaurant A Rake’s Progress is a must. So is a meal at Fabio Trabbochi’s new Spanish spot Del Mar in the new Wharf waterfront district (save room for the seafood paella). The National Museum of African American History and Culture was a powerful and eye-opening experience, and deserves not one but a few visits. - Daniel, editor

Where We've Been

AUSTRALIA
My family is still reeling from jet lag after summer vacation in Sydney, Australia (pure joy to experience in the middle of a windy NYC winter). Pretty much everything lived up to the hype. We got a hot tip to stay in North Bondi, which is excellent for families looking for easy access to the amazing kiddie ocean pool and the more locally inhabited cafes and bars. Breakfast blew my mind every morning — favorites included The Nine, Shuk, and Harry’s. I’ve been looking forward to Sean’s Panorama since this story appeared on Fathom seven years ago. And I had a lovely radio chat about all things travel with the @katiemayors on her Bondi Beach Radio show, in a tiny studio perched on a hill overlooking the beach at sundown. - Jeralyn, Direktur editorial

SOUTHEAST ASIA
I’m fresh off a two-week stint in Southeast Asia and am already thinking about a return visit. I started my trip in Singapore, where I stayed at the new Andre Fu-designed Andaz Singapore and toured the The Warehouse Hotel. Both were fantastic. From there I boarded Silversea’s elegant Silver Shadow and made my way to Ho Chi Minh City, where I took $1 Uber rides (really), slurped pho at Propaganda, and bought an obscene amount of modern Vietnamese ceramics at Sadec District. My next port of call was Chan May, which I quickly departed for Hoi An, a highly Instagramable and well-preserved ancient town with the most charming tea parlor. My final stop in Vietnam was Ha Long Bay, where I hiked to the top of Bai Tho Mountain and kayaked amongst the towering limestone pillars. I ended my trip in Hong Kong at The Upper House, where I had the best meal of the trip at Cafe Grey Deluxe. - Berit, editor senior

MONTREAL
I can't believe it took me so long to get to Montreal. The city is a food-lover's paradise and is brimming with things to do, even in the dead of winter. I went over Presidents' Day weekend and stayed at the stylish Hotel William Grey in Old Montreal. That hotel gets so many things right, from the espresso they serve in first-floor cafe and the marble pool table in the lobby living room to my incredible corner room, which had huge tub with a view over the Old Port. Other highlights:a sensual dinner at Foxy, cheese-stuffed Russian pancakes at Arthurs Nosh Bar, drinks at Atwater Cocktail Club, a smoked meat pilgrimage to my namesake Schwartz's. I'll back in the summer to enjoy outdoor drinks during teras season, and this time, I'll fly. Taking the overnight bus from NYC was a nightmare. - Daniel, editor

NAPA/SONOMA/SAN FRANCISCO
Memiliki siapa pun been at FathomHQ this month? We've all been on the road. I was just in San Francisco, where I checked into super cool Proper Hotel, ate at Rich Table, and drank champagne at Leo's Oyster Bar, one of many fun joints owned by Anna Weinberg, who is easily the coolest woman on the West Coast. I was in the Bay Area because I was speaking at the Professional Wine Writers Symposium at Meadowood Napa Valley, where I sipped and swirled with very impressive wine experts. While there, I traveled around Napa and Sonoma extensively to see how the region was recovering from the devastating fires from last fall. Dalam sebuah kata, fully. Everybody, go to Napa and Sonoma! Sekarang! I saw so many wonderful things, which you'll be reading about on Fathom soon or can watch me gush about in this Facebook video. In a very quick nutshell, my highlights included Napa and the charming Archer Hotel, the nicest place to stay in town. A too-brief visit to perfect, perfect Las Alcobas Napa Valley in St. Helena, where my room overlooked a beautiful vineyard. Hotel, the first United States outpost of Fathom Favorite Las Alcobas in Mexico City, is home to Chris Cosentino's terrific restaurant Acacia House and a very restorative Atrio Spa. A super informative wine tasting at Round Pond Estate, where sommelier Scott Tracy gave me a crash course in Napa viticulture. That I got to spend three nights at Meadowood, the resort for which superlatives aren't enough, means I owe someone a lot of karma points — and not only because I was invited to taste an outrageous 2009 red at Promontory Wines, one of the three wineries owned by Meadowood's Bill Harlan and run by his lovely son, Will. That I followed that up with a night at the Auberge Resort Calistoga Ranch means I'll never repay the karmic debt I now owe the universe. Bahwa saya kemudian went to charming Healdsburg, spent the night at Hotel Les Mars, and had dinner at the temple that is Single Thread means that I should just give up traveling right now because it might not ever get any better. — Pavia, CEO

JAMAICA
Oke, that's not all I did. A week after California, I went to Rockhouse Hotel in Negril, Jamaica, and am happy to report that it's even better than I knew it would be. We've covered it on Fathom many times, dan, dengan baik, what can I say? There's nothing that can't be cured with a few days spent jumping off cliffs, eating ackee and salt fish, dancing to reggae, snorkeling with those cute little fishies, and watching the big red sun set into tomorrow. — Pavia

The Rockhouse team is about to unveil Skylark, a new hotel on Seven Mile Beach in Negril. They transformed a drab hotel along a somewhat down-heel stretch into a 28-room Miami Art Deco-inspired hotel that is keeping prices low and style high. Miss Lily's, their terrific NYC restaurant, will be providing the beachfront food and fun.

Four Seasons Punta Mita just unveiled The Container, a club for 13-19 year-olds with a strict No Adults Allowed policy. Programming includes movies, video games (kids, get off the box and get outside!!), ping pong, voli pantai, dan mendaki. Our first thought:Where was this when we were 15?

Where We've Been

Earlier this month, I toured the Roman and Williams-designed Freehand New York, a 395-room boutique hotel housed in New York City’s former George Washington Hotel. The abundant plant situation on the second floor lobby is not to be missed, nor are the two restaurants by restaurateur Gabriel Stulman of Joseph Leonard and Bar Sardine. Rooms start as low as $129 per night through spring, which feels like a steal for New York City. – Beri, editor senior

Where We've Been

Over the holidays, I finally got a chance to visit a few of the charming upstate New York towns we’re always covering on Fathom. Thanks to a killer deal on Hotel Tonight, I spent two days at Hasbrouck House, a cozy 18th-century Dutch Colonial mansion-turned-B&B with a farm-to-table restaurant. Highlights of my trip included all-day-breakfast spot Hash, a snowy walk to the uber photogenic Saugerties Lighthouse, and drinks at natural wine bar Brunette. - Berit, editor senior

I also went upstate over New Year’s to Troutbeck, the newly revamped resort that we covered last month. I loved it — the roaring fires in the common areas, our cozy suite (#6) with the bathtub on a sunlit patio, the terrific restaurant (have the lobster soup!), and the rich cultural history the attentive team is rightfully proud to share (in our room:a framed letter from Martin Luther King, Jr.). I can’t wait to see how they grow and continue the humanist tradition. - Pavia, CEO

I spent the last few weeks of 2017 in paradise. First leg:Sydney, where we split six beach days between Tamarama and Avalon north of the city. (Swimming, sunbathing, smoothies, and dinners in Surrey Hills were the norm.) Then we went to Singapore, where I ate chicken rice more than thrice and stayed in the hip Tiong Bahru neighborhood. To cap it all off, we spent three days in buzzy Hanoi. The highlight:A street food tour and drinking past the 12:30 a.m. curfew in a bar that had shut its front gate to avoid getting in hot water with patrolling cops. - Daniel, editor

Spending New Year's weekend in San Miguel de Allende, Meksiko, was cool and chill — even with our gang of little kids in tow. The high-altitude town is colorful, crafty, and festive; there are outdoor markets, horse-riding charros , and just enough New World touches (i.e.:cortados, bone broth) to keep one from going on chips-and-guac overload. I found wonderful Mexican home goods at Mixta, cosmic cow skulls at Evoke the Spirit, and wildly delicious handmade honey chocolate at Mente Cacao. My toddler came back with fiesta garland for her bedroom and a newfound love of mariachi music. - Jeralyn, Direktur editorial
