Eurostar and local trains disrupted after unexploded WWII bomb found

Whenever I pack for a trip—be it a quick weekend upstate or a no-holds-barred vacation abroad—I have the habit of letting my anxiety stuff my bags for me. Quite literally, it’s the albatross that hangs around my travels: I either end up lugging my excessive “just in case” items wherever I go, or constantly shrug a large bag suddenly made awkward by its emptiness onto my shoulder. That is, until I met the Foldie bag—the weekender that contains my plans A through Z and moonlights as a demurely compact handbag.

Some people bring home a T-shirt from a trip. I bring home food. These are the souvenirs I brought home from a recent visit to Tucson: tepary beans, dried cholla buds, ground chiltepin peppers, White Sonora wheat berries, White Sonora everything bagels, three heritage flours, five breads made with those flours, corn and flour tortillas, prickly pear syrup, and just-fermented miso made from oak-roasted squash.

For the second year running, the editors of Condé Nast Traveller UK put their heads together with some of the most respected people in the food world—the judging panel: chefs Raymond Blanc OBE; Jackson Boxer; Julie Lin; Gizzi Erskine; restaurant critic and food writer Tom Parker Bowles; TikTok sensation Poppy O'Toole; founder of Black Eats LDN Jackson Mclarty; content creator Notorious Foodie; actress and wine bar owner Anna Shaffer; and Traveller UK digital director Sarah Allard—to shine a spotlight on the new restaurants across the UK that have turned heads and won hearts, as well as the chefs, sommeliers, and changemakers making a difference in the industry. The result is this list: the UK's top new restaurants, which acknowledges fine dining spots and fish bars in the same breath, from chef's tables in Birmingham to restaurants with rooms in Norfolk. We've eaten at, loved, and awarded Greek, Thai, Mexican, Punjabi, French, Italian, Korean, and British restaurants—the diversity of the UK food landscape is, after all, the thing that makes it so exciting. These restaurants are places we recommend to you, hand-on-heart, as new openings to visit, support, and enjoy when you travel across the country this year. Happy eating.

If it's got a few playful ruffles, a bold botanical print, and an easy-breezy vibe, there's a good chance the garment you're admiring is from Zimmermann. The Australian brand, founded in 1991 by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, is still faithful to its original philosophy of feminine silhouettes, ingenious color combinations, and that laid-back Bondi Beach state of mind—something the duo know well. “There's nothing better than being on a beautiful boat on Sydney Harbour in the sun,” says Nicky. Here she and Simone share their must-do recommendations in their hometown, including where to grab a meal with a view, go for a dip, and, of course, sip a classic flat white when you need to get your caffeine fix.

Verdant grass, stone carvings, and a delightful bench to relax on. By all means, the green space in the small town of Nagaizumi, Japan—about atwo-hour drive southwest of Tokyo—has all the elements of an idyllic park … except for the fact that it totals about 2.58 square feet.

Travelers are on alert and facing delays at the busiest train station in Europe.  Paris' Gare du Nord rail station suspended all train traffic, both arrivals and departures, after the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb.
