I travel 100 days a year, but I'd never been to New York City until now. There were literal highs but disappointing lows.

Out with the old and in with the new at the American Express Centurion Lounge in New York.

“When I was 14, my parents let me take the train to the city by myself for modeling jobs. By contrast, I get anxiety when I send my daughter alone to Starbucks, so I’m constantly amazed at the liberties I enjoyed at her age. I grew up in Connecticut, outside the city, so there were the obligatory trips to see Broadway shows, and always The Nutcracker during the holidays—they were practically state visits. By the time I moved here at 21, I was more familiar with the city than some of my new friends who had grown up on the Upper East Side.”

Early every holiday season, I make a cup of hot cocoa and watch one of the "Home Alone" movies.

In A Complete Unknown, the history is the thing. And because of that, so are the locations. The new film charts Bob Dylan’s early career, from his arrival in Greenwich Village’s folk music scene in 1961 to his 1965 show at the Newport Folk Festival. His first-ever with electric instruments—not exactly what he was known for at the time—the performance was booed by the strictest of the folk fans in the audience and came to represent the end of an era. Never mind that electric instruments were already omnipresent at Newport Folk—Bob shouldn't partake.

American Airlines will use a special rule exception to fly longer-than-normal routes out of New York's LaGuardia Airport next year.

Two years ago, I spent Christmas in Paris, and I've been longing to find the same festive charm in my home city of New York ever since.

In the children’s section of Albertine, copies of “Le Petit Prince,” stories of Tintin and Babar and other much-loved French classics are for sale beneath a sapphire-colored ceiling gilded with hand-painted constellations. What’s arguably New York’s most enchanting bookstore opened a decade ago inside the palatial Payne Whitney House, an early 1900s landmark built by the architect Stanford White on the southeast corner of East 79th Street and Fifth Avenue that’s served as the headquarters of the French Embassy’s cultural and educational activities in the United States for the past 72 years.

American Airlines is making several big changes to its network.

JetBlue plans to add a new first-class cabin, with larger seats and more legroom, to its domestic flights in the coming years.

Airport lounges can be a much-needed oasis from a stressful travel day.
