Designed by New York architect Deborah Berke—and owned by husband-and-wife preservationists Steve Wilson and Laura Lee Brown—the 21c hotels are art-focused hotels that feature a rotating collection of paintings, videos and sculptures. Situated squarely in the heart of Bourbon culture, 21c Louisville is walking distance from distilleries such as Old Forester, and Michter’s, and is a short car drive away from the history-filled Woodford Reserve, and Maker’s Mark.
The hotel is also home to a top-notch bar and restaurant, Proof on Main. Not only does it serve well-balanced cocktails complete with beautifully-carved ice cubes, but there’s also plenty of custom whiskeys made from local distilleries. Try the 21c Selects Maker’s Mark Single Barrel Bourbon and Woodford Reserve 21c Selects Bourbon—it’s the perfect Louisville pre-game sesh before a night on the town. Book here.

You’ll find delicious, Mexico-inspired cocktails at one of their four bars with food by chef Enrique Olvera to pair. Their newly appointed mezcal expert will help guide you through Mexico’s famed artisanal spirit – a genuine luxury for any drinks enthusiast. Book here.
Asbury Park is most associated with the bar band scene that launched Bruce Springsteen, but it’s also a great place to have a low-key Jersey shore getaway. The Asbury—a stylish, boutique hotel right off the Asbury Park Boardwalk— is home to a vibrant rooftop lounge, Salvation, a lobby bar, Soundbooth, and is connected to the newly reopened bar and music venue Asbury Lanes.
For dinner, head to Reyla, Barrio Costero, Pascal & Sabine, or Taka. None of these places will disappoint, and each gives you a taste of where Asbury Park’s food and drink scene is heading. Make sure to visit Asbury Park Distillery as well. Book here.
It is difficult to pick one of the many Freehand hotel locations, so I’m gonna go ahead and recommend them all (NYC, Chicago, LA, Miami). This collection of hotels, which are essentially chic hostels, is one that embraces unique art, design, local culture, and quality food and drink.
Once you’re ready to get your drink on though, pop into one of their craft cocktail bars, specifically the Broken Shaker (which is now open at each location). The bar initially started as a pop-up at the Freehand Miami in 2012, run by Gabriel Orta & Elad Zvi (who now have their own creative company, Bar Lab), but has since manifested into a permanent destination for impressive cocktails.
While each bar program will vary in culture, the overall concept is one that has received global recognition (including a World’s Best Bar award for the Miami location) and is always a solid place to enjoy well-crafted libations. Book here.
Famed hotelier Ian Schrager launched this boutique hot spot in 2017 with the goal of making luxury accessible to all. The innovative concept is not like your everyday hotel, with an absence of what some may consider standard services… like a front desk.
Pop into Jean George’s Public Kitchen for some world-class bites and hit up one of their premium cocktail bars, like the newly launched Diego, which boasts a cocktail menu created by award-winning bartender Ivy Mix, or The Roof – with some of the city’s most stunning rooftop views. Book here.
Looking for something a bit warmer? The JW Marriott Cancun Resort boasts newly renovated guest rooms, picturesque views of the sapphire-blue ocean, and plenty of tequila to live your best life. At the JW Lobby Bar, bartenders offer margaritas for each of the 150 types of tequila available (yes, really), helpfully dubbed the 150 Margaritas Menu.
“We really wanted to develop some sort of adventure guests could embark on while learning about different tequilas, the regions they come from in Mexico, what they pair best with,” says hotel manager Tiffany Holmes. Hey, I’ll drink to that. Book here.
Here we go. Everyone’s favorite pair of rogue detectives is coming back, and the news comes from the best source imaginable: Bad Boys stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
According to Smith’s caption on his announcement video, the title is Bad Boys For Life, and it’s pretty clear that he and Lawrence are overjoyed about the whole thing.
Considering the rocky road the now 23-year-old franchise has followed toward a third installment, Smith’s and Lawrence’s excitement is understandable.
There were whispers from the time Bad Boys II premiered in 2003 that a third movie would happen, then everything went into limbo—until 2016, when both stars said it was on its way.
Two more years passed, then in early 2018 it looked like the wheels were finally turning, with scripts and possible directors. Today’s announcement is what makes it officially, uh, official.
Bad Boys For Life is tentatively slated to hit theaters sometime in 2020.
We all know Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, a.k.a. The Olsen twins, as established child actors-turned socialites-turned fashion designers.
Their fashion label, The Row, used to have only women’s clothing, but guess what? they just released a men’s line and it is nice. As their character Michelle on Full House might say, “You got it, dudes!”
The Row’s first men’s collection has 38 high-end pieces, with jeans, sweaters, shirts, jackets, sweatpants, accessories like sunglasses and cardholders, and lots of cashmere.
Even the sweatpants are cashmere.
Each piece in the collection is super minimalist and has clean cuts for a polished look.
The Row spent two years researching and wear-testing before launching its much-anticipated menswear collection. The minimalist label borrows its name from London’s tailoring hub, and is known for impeccable fabrics and clean cuts.
Are you feeling the Olsen twins’ stab at high-end menswear? Check out the collection on Mr. Porter.
