for and by sophisticated executive travelers
I have to say that I was disappointed when the Legal Sea Foods outpost at Reagan National Airport (DCA) closed. It was a lovely end-of-the-business-day oasis before the shuttle flight offering real food (compared with the fast food fare on the other side of the security check point) and an excellent wine list. I was afraid that it would be … [Read more...]
Among the biggest pains of the ongoing security crack down is finding one's favorite toiletries in a 3 oz or smaller size that will pass muster with the TSA. It's one thing to cruise the "travel size" section at CVS but the basics will only take you so far. Three cheers, then, for 3floz.com. They bring you great products and top brands for … [Read more...]
Roger Ebert recently remembered Eyrie Mansion, an old-school hotel on Jermyn Street in London. Reading his essay, I was heartbroken that I'd never had a chance to stay there (Where else can you expect the owner to show up in your room with a bottle of Scotch just for a chat?

A recent foray into Manhattan gave me the opportunity to try The Fitzpatrick, a relatively new hotel on Lexington between 56th & 57th Streets. It is operated by an Irish group and has another hotel in the Grand Central area as well as properties in Ireland. It's done in the classic style -- furniture reminiscent of some not-quite-discernable … [Read more...]
I've bemoaned the arrival of wifi in the sky -- the plane cabin is one of the last places where one could be blisfully untethered from e-mail -- but felt obliged to try it today out of professional curiosity. I'm currently flying to Atlanta on Delta, blogging live from 10,000+ feet. Delta's service is provided by GoGo. I found the log-in process … [Read more...]
