Craft spirits are booming and there’s a reason why. Leaders in innovation, craft distillers utilize local resources and high-quality ingredients and methods to produce their goods, and nowadays people are willing to spend more money for a better product.

Not all snacks are created equal, and for travel, you want ones that don’t take a lot of room, not high in salt (to add to the potential dehydration) or sugar and after all – still tastes great.

Among the most anticipated new dining experiences in New York City is KYU (pronounced “cue”), the acclaimed wood-fired Asian-inspired restaurant, which officially opened its doors in lower Manhattan.

The French are known for many things -- bread, wine, pastries, and of course, cheese. And luckily, New Yorkers have had the privilege of having their own French oasis in the heart of Nolita for eight years. The French Cheese Board, which recently moved to a new location at 56 Spring Street, is bigger and better than ever.

Orange wines are having a moment. Rosé has been the go-to wine of the summer for a handful of years, but as consumers become more and more educated about wines, they are looking to expand their horizons.
