Staycation at The Plaza Hotel
November 9, 2015 by 16 Comments
…own of The Plaza Hotel. Then after seeing Home Alone 2 as a kid, I always knew I wanted to stay there at some point. But having lived in Manhattan for 16 years now, you generally don’t stay in hotels where you live. So I was thrilled when I got the chance to do a staycation at The Plaza Hotel in New York City! A 3-day staycation at The Plaza Hotel was perfect for me and was like a little getaway without actually going anywhere. What a brilliant co…

September 9, 2016 by 3 Comments
…Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open in a sign of the times in Queens, a few new things happened with my experience at the US Open with SPG Amex. The first was the new virtual pro walk thru in the fan experience zone. This was a really cool thing to check out. You get to virtually play on center court and feel what it’s like to walk down the tunnel onto the stadium court. It was extra cool because Monica Seles and Pete Sampras consulted on the proje…

…ight there’s no noise at all. The developer is also about to build a brand new development not far away. It will take luxury to a new level with villas ranging from a million up to $10 million right next to the new Ritz-Carlton that is being built currently and villas are still available. Next up for me on my vacation tour of luxury villas in Thailand were the Mandalay Beach Villas on Koh Samui. I have to say this place absolutely floored me. It w…
Singapore Has It All

…ieces. Drinks at Manhattan are actually pretty reasonable (I say this as a New Yorker where everything is expensive) considering the cost of drinking in Singapore is quite high. I look forward to visiting Operation Dagger, 28 Hong Kong Street and a new cocktail bar that just opened called Atlas. The former bartenders at Artesian in London opened this; which formerly was the #1 bar in the world for several years in a row. Now since Artesian lost it…

May 9, 2007 by 26 Comments
Man fears Time, yet Time fears the Pyramids – Ancient Arab Proverb The amazing Pyramids of Egypt, among the largest constructions ever built, constitute one of the most potent and enduring symbols of the mysterious Ancient Egyptian civilization. They are the only surviving member of the original and ancient seven wonders of the world. It is generally accepted by most archaeologists that they were constructed as burial monuments associated with ro…

Again, here are my final 7 that I think should win. Since the Pyramids are automatically going to carry over as a wonder, here are my 7 that I think should win. Again, I have been to 18 of the 21 finalists. The 3 I haven’t been to are Timbuktu, Neuschwanstein Castle, and the Great Wall of China. Easter Island Petra Taj Mahal Machu Picchu Angkor Wat Acropolis Colosseum Keep in mind, apparently they have been stuffing the ballots, so to speak, in A…
The New 7 Wonders Are…

1. Christ the Redeemer (Brazil) 2. Chichen Itza (Mexico) 3. Petra (Jordan) 4. Great Wall (China) 5. Machu Picchu (Peru) 6. Colosseum (Italy) 7. Taj Mahal (India) My thoughts on this controversial vote are as follows: 1. The omission of Easter Island is a complete travesty and the people of the world should ashamed of themselves for leaving Easter Island off this list. It is the epitome of what a wonder of the world is. Its mystery, history and lo…
