Looking for a hotel offering something really special for the holidays? Check out the The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue. This year the hotel is celebrating the holidays with unique room packages and interactive Christmas decorations. This luxury hotel, famous for its Fifth Avenue decor, is enhancing its holiday experience, with elements like Paddington bear and family-focused packages.
Behind every great American dive bar, there’s a rock-steady formula. It goes something like this: walk through the door and a bartender stands poised to lend an ear, sliding drinks across the gnarly bar with easy intimacy. Overhead, a grunge playlist crackles through the speakers. And towards the back of the room, scratched tables and worn velvet seats provide shadowy nooks for getting up to no good.
Earlier this fall, a group of friends and I set out on a girls' trip to Pennsylvania. It was time to escape New York City, so we booked an Airbnb in the Poconos.
It’s Michelin season. Ahead of the official Michelin Guide ceremony on Tuesday, November 7, the worldwide restaurant reviewer released its list of Bib Gourmand restaurants—that is, restaurants that “offer a meal of good quality at a good value,” according to the guide, but are not awarded stars.

Maison Villeroy is a very distinctive hotel in Paris: intimate, private, luxe without being showy about it. Starting November 13th, its parent company The Collection, which operates ultra luxury properties in London, St. Barths, St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Courchevel apart from Paris renting for weekly or monthly stays, is bringing that style to New York with the opening of Maison Hudson. This time, though, the property bordering the Hudson River in New York’s Far West Village is being fashioned for a minimum stay of 30 days only. Given the design, accoutrements, and services plus the vitality of the neighborhood surrounding it, anyone planning that length of stay in New York should definitely consider moving in.
New York is a city with an embarrassment of riches when it comes to historic hotels. Whether you want to stay in Manhattan or across the water in Brooklyn, choices include converted factories that once made textiles for NASA, bohemian dens that inspired beatnik novelists and counterculture musicians, and super-luxury boutique pads that have counted presidents and Hollywood stars as guests.
New York City is ever-abuzz with reasons to celebrate– and the annual TCS NYC Marathon provides the perfect stage for a city-wide celebration of those we know, do not know, and of course, love. The 26.2-mile route is a testament to the collective spirit—and diversity, of the city. As the runners weave through its five boroughs, each street and corner offers distinct and thrilling experiences for spectators– all catering to a rich and electric city-at-large block party. This year, we asked our editors at Traveler to weigh in on their top spots to soak in the marathon's pulse and cheer on the athletes along the way.
