There’s a new Kimpton in town (NYC, that is), the Eventi. I stopped there for a night recently to check it out. Its location is ideal if you are traveling by train as it is close by Penn Station though the immediate neighborhood still doesn’t offer a lot of diversions beyond that.  Just...

Terminal A at Boston’s Logan Airport features the new full body scanners at security and I took my second trip through about a half-an-hour ago. I don’t know if they make us any safer (and I wish the TSA would at least buy me a drink before examining my full anatomy) but the certainly...

Hotel restaurants seem to be going incognito more and more. On sites like Open Table present the restaurants as stand-alone concerns, I assume by design of the client, which can be fine — or not.  I admit that I generally steer away from hotel dining because it tends to be either boring, over-priced,...

A few weeks back, the good folks at The Economist’s Gulliver travel blog wrote an amusing piece about packing like a journalist.

I’ve been thinking a lot about craft lately. One  hears about the art of travel — mostly in what’s left of the glossy magazines and usually with regard to some grand adventure, not business travel. I think that craft is a much better choice of words. Traveling well for business requires...

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...
