Four Seasons Boston Launches Very Important Kids Program With Scavenger Hunt

In recent years, Boston has made vast improvements in its infrastructure for cyclists, including painting miles of bicycle lanes and implementing an excellent bike-share program. Local drivers are used to sharing the roads with their two-wheeled friends, but cyclists should always obey traffic rules and ride defensively.

In October 2021, I took my first overnight train journey from New York City to Miami. For the 30 hour-ride, I booked the cheapest private cabin I could — an Amtrak roomette for $500.

Don't ask me where May went, I truly don't know. This month was a wild one for this hotel reporter. It started with my own wedding here in New York City, followed by a honeymoon in Paris, and the chance to catch the first night of the European leg of Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour." I then immediately joined a wonderful retreat with TPG's travel team in Washington, D.C.

I hesitate to share this information because I think my friend and I would be perfect for the job but GetYourGuide, in partnership with On Location Tours, is kicking off a search for a couple of Swifties to lead Taylor Swift-themed tours in two major cities.

Renowned for its high-end dining scene, sophisticated hotels and world-renowned higher education institutions, Boston offers a particularly idyllic escape on the eastern edge of New England—but this historic city is no stranger to high-speed thrills as well. This June, Boston is set to welcome the return of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, an annual event that unites 24 individuals in an effort to achieve the maximum amount of points and earn the coveted King Kahekili Trophy. And while Boston is in good company with its fellow participating cities, it serves as the sole host in all of the United States, providing visitors with an opportunity to witness a truly unique event taking place right on New England soil.

After months of frigid temperatures and scant daylight, Boston has sprung back to life with balmy spring weather—and the city’s dining scene has returned to its former glory as well. All across the Greater Boston area, restaurant patios are brimming with brunch diners and dinner guests alike, with no shortage of complex cocktails and flavorful small plates to discover all across the region. As you plan your next trip to the city, don’t miss out on these beloved spots, each one offering its own unique roster of hearty springtime dishes to enjoy.

Air travel is now going to the dogs — but in style.Bark Air, a new airline designed completely for pups, recently made its inaugural flight from New York to Los Angeles. The service currently operates limited routes servicing New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and London. The airline is encouraging people to suggest future routes through an online form. A one-way ticket from New York to Los Angeles costs $6,000 and a one-way ticket from New York to London costs $8,000. From New York, the airline operates out of a private airport in Westchester County, and flies to the Van Nuys airport outside of Los Angeles. “We are excited to take the insights we’ve learned over the years to create an experience that is truly dog-first, which is drastically different from just accepting dogs – from the ground to the skies,” Bark’s CEO Matt Meeker said in a statement.

JetBlue is seeking a codeshare with British Airways, which would allow the two carriers to significantly expand their networks in the U.S. and Europe. 

For most of her life, toggling between New York and Los Angeles was the extent of bicoastal Honey Balenciaga's travels. That changed when the 22-year-old ballroom princess danced with Beyoncé on last year's blockbuster Renaissance World Tour and was swept up in a whirlwind trek across Europe and North America in the process—all told, there were 56 shows in 39 cities between May and October of 2023. Hamburg, unexpectedly, was a favorite stop.

The American Automobile Association (AAA) is forecasting that 38.4 million people will be hitting the road for Memorial Day Weekend—up 4% from last year and the highest number since the Triple-A started tracking the holiday’s traffic in 2000.
