3-Star Hotel in Yonkers, New York ✈ Hampton Inn & Suites in Yonkers, New York Staying just outside Manhattan does not have to feel like settling for less. My recent stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites Yonkers showed why this Westchester County hotel works as a practical alternative to Manhattan properties, offering more space, easier logistics, and a calmer setting while still keeping New York City within reach. Located at 160 Executive Boulevard in Yonkers, this property balan

3-Star Hotel in Nanuet, New York ✈ Hampton Inn Nanuet Hotel in Rockland County, New York Located in the heart of Rockland County , the Hampton Inn Nanuet offers an affordable, reliable stay in New York ’s northern suburbs. It’s part of the Hilton portfolio, which means guests can expect consistency in service, amenities, and cleanliness — the qualities that make Hampton Inns a dependable option for both short and extended stays. During my visit, I stayed in a King Studio Sui

The former site of Eagle Day Camp in Nanuet, New York ✈ The former site of Eagle Day Camp in Nanuet, New York Standing in a Home Depot parking lot on Hutton Avenue in Nanuet, New York , it takes a minute to line up what you see now with what once stood here. The address today is 43 Hutton Avenue, just off Route 59 and a short drive from Exit 14 on the New York State Thruway. For decades in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, this land was Eagle Day Camp , also called Eagle Country Day C

4-Star Hotel in Bogotá, Colombia ✈ Hilton Bogotá Hotel in Bogotá Colombia The Hilton Bogotá is located at Carrera 7 No. 72-41, right in the financial district of Bogotá, Colombia . The neighborhood is part of Chapinero, a central district that combines office towers, shopping centers, embassies, and residential streets. For both business and leisure travelers, this address offers a strategic base. Corporate visitors have immediate access to major companies and institutions,

Bogotá, Colombia ✈ BD Bacatá in Bogota, Colombia When I visited Bogotá, Colombia , one of the first things that caught my attention was BD Bacatá , a skyscraper that dominates the city skyline. Located at Carrera 5 # 19-45 in the downtown area, this building is impossible to miss as it rises above the surrounding streets in a staggered, modernist style of glass and steel. It currently holds the title of the tallest building in Bogotá, making it a natural point of interest for

Bogotá, Colombia ✈ Monserrate in Bogotá, Colombia Bogotá , the capital of Colombia , is a city that sits high in the Andes mountains at more than 8,600 feet above sea level. Its altitude immediately sets it apart from many other Latin American capitals. The air is thinner, the weather is cooler, and there is always a sense of being perched above much of the surrounding region. For travelers arriving from lower elevations, the first few days can require some adjustment, but th

Private Villas for Kosher Travelers in Providenciales, Turks & Caicos ✈ Photo credit: Beach Enclave Turks & Caicos There are places that redefine what it means to take a family vacation, and Beach Enclave is one of them. Imagine a collection of private villas along some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, each with its own butler, chef support, and space for the entire family to spread out. That’s the reality at Beach Enclave Turks & Caicos on the island of Provi

Blade Helicopter Flight in New York City ✈ Blade Helicopter Flight to JFK in New York City New York City traffic between Manhattan and the airports is a gamble I rarely win. One stalled semi on the Van Wyck, an accident on the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway, or a flooded FDR lane can wreck a schedule that looks fine on paper. After a recent slog to JFK that burned more than an hour in a back-seat crawl, I booked a seat on Blade’s by-the-seat helicopter from Blade Lounge West at

4-Star Hotel in New York City ✈ The TWA Hotel at JFK airport in New York City I first spotted the TWA Hotel at JFK airport in New York City long before I reached the front desk. While gliding past on the AirTrain toward Terminal 5, I saw the terminal’s gull-wing roof perched beside the jetways, still as sleek as the morning it opened in 1962. The building was designed by Eero Saarinen for Trans World Airlines at the height of the Jet Age, when air travel promised glamour in

4-Star Hotel in New York City ✈ Dream Downtown, by Hyatt in New York City I checked into Dream Downtown, by Hyatt at 355 West 16th Street on a warm New York City afternoon. The stainless-steel façade set with circular windows looked more like a docked ocean liner than a city building, a deliberate cue that this is not a conventional New York hotel. A doorman guided me into a compact entryway that opens to Ninth Avenue on one side and Sixteenth Street on the other, anchoring

5-Star Hotel in Jerusalem, Israel ✈ Theatron Jerusalem Hotel & Spa in Jerusalem, Israel I recently had the opportunity to experience the Theatron Jerusalem Hotel & Spa , regarded by many as Jerusalem, Israel 's best new hotel. It’s located in the Talbiya neighborhood, just a few blocks south of Jerusalem’s busy downtown yet feels more like a secluded garden suburb. Tree-lined streets curve around early-twentieth-century villas, diplomatic missions, and cultural landmarks, chi
