Toiletries that Fly through Security

Toiletries that Fly through Security
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,...

Jermyn Street Gem

Jermyn Street Gem
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? That beats a big...

Cold Nights in Hot-lanta

Cold Nights in Hot-lanta
Your Nomad-in-Chief recently spent several days in Atlanta for a variety of meetings. My hotel, chosen by my hosts, was the Marriott Perimeter Center – an older property in need of a refresh. Despite the stuck-in-the-80’s feel, the staff was quite friendly and helpful and the suite we used...

East Side Finds in New York

East Side Finds in New York
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 —...

Up in the Air 2010

Up in the Air 2010
As we head toward a new year it is a good time to look at what lies ahead when we head to the airport. In a phrase, it isn’t pretty. The thwarted on-board bombing on a Northwest flight headed from Amsterdam to Detroit portends increased airport security with the attendant longer lines and waits....

Airline Seat Fees Becoming More Widespread

Airline Seat Fees Becoming More Widespread
If you find yourself sitting in coach more often these days, and who among us has not had tighter restrictions put on travel, you likely know the “pleasure” of having your knees wedged into a seat back as you fly. Increasingly, there are options — if you are willing to pay for them,...

Destination: Brussels

Destination: Brussels
Our new Brussels page is the first of several new city pages you’ll see in the next few weeks. We’ve been combing through research, talking to our fellow Nomads, and going over the notes from our visits to compile a great list of hotels, restaurants, shops, and sights. Among the highlights:...

Future Cities…Glitzy but Livable?

Future Cities…Glitzy but Livable?
Concierge.com has done any interesting round-up of innovative projects that will be appearing on the skylines of cities around the world in the next few years. Some of the architecture is truly fanciful though what struck me most about an article entitled, “Cities of the Future” was that...
