The holiday season is a magical time to visit New York City. While Rockefeller Center is a must-see, thanks to its famous Christmas tree and ice skating rink, Manhattan has many other spots for taking in holiday lights and festivities.
Martha Stewart's New York Farm Is Available to Rent for One Night Only
06.11.2023 - 22:41 / cntraveler.com / Gwyneth Paltrow / Martha Stewart
Months after Gwyneth Paltrow put her Montecito mansion’s guesthouse up on Airbnb, Martha Stewart is readying herself to get in on the action. The famed homemaker and entrepreneur has long kept a large piece of property along Pea Pond Road in Westchester County, New York; driving past it, as I often did going between my parents’ house in Connecticut and my Poughkeepsie college, you can catch a few glimpses of classic farmhouses and vast greenhouses hidden behind the stone wall. Now, ahead of Thanksgiving, a gaggle of lucky guests can get a closer look during a one-night-only stay.
Martha Stewart’s Thanksgiving-Inspired Farm Stay is slated for November 18, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and will cost all of $11.23. What do you get for all of those dollars and cents? Among other things, a night in the farm’s guesthouse (Tenant House, as she’s been christened) followed by brunch with Martha herself. The booking opens on Booking.com November 16, just two days ahead of the stay.
Stewart is the latest celebrity to offer up her home—and presence—to the fastest booker.
Says Martha of her Bedford, New York, property, “There’s truly no better place to spend a perfect autumn day.” That perfect autumn day, as it is detailed in the listing, has an itinerary that begins with a guided tour of the 150-acre Eden led by head gardener Ryan McCallister—chicken coop, stables, and gardens will all feature. From there, it’s off to a demo on table setting and wreath-making from Stewart’s executive director of design, Kevin Starkey, where key intel on throwing a superior Thanksgiving is promised. Also suggested is a stroll at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation—if the fall foliage remains, this is not to be missed.
While there’s no mention on the listing about dinner, CNN reports that guests will be carted off to the nearby Inn at Pound Ridge by Jean Georges—not a bad deal at all, I recommend the sushi on crispy rice. Then comes the night spent at Tenant, the guesthouse and oldest structure onsite. The 1,800-square-foot home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms—the primary with a queen bed for up to two guests, the secondary with two twin beds for another two guests. Guests must all be 21 years of age or older, and are expected to sign a non-disclosure agreement upon arrival.

Also sharing the property? Turkeys and chickens
Other stipulations made in the fine print include a mandate that guests will be subject to a security screening prior to entering the property, as well as a request that all staying behave as “good citizens” and cooperate wit the farm’s staff for the duration of the stay—any inappropriate or threatening behavior will be met with

3 Intriguing, Just Opened New York Bars To Try
Tigre It’s unusual to hear a rum based cocktail described as “joyful pain” but that happens at Tigre, the intimate, retro chic bar that opened this week on New York’s Lower East Side. The reason for this description is the rum, or rather rums, in the recommended cocktail Airmail composed of champagne and three symbiotic rums from Martinique, Venezuela and Haiti, countries in a region in which slavery played a part in their production. The social history detailed by the maître d’ is, obviously, painful but the cocktail itself is delicious, a choice on the “then” section reinventing classics of the six part menu. (Their screwdriver also has eight types of citrus including three types of orange.) Creative concoctions such as Mister Softee with Singani, sage and pina appear in the “Now” section and martini fans can dictate exact specifications with a ratio of 4:1 to 16:1 among other options.
