I consider myself something of a fuzzy sock connoisseur. Unlike many people who happily walk around their house in slippers or their bare feet, I’m nearly always in a pair of super soft, ridiculously cozy socks. I’ve purchased dozens of pairs in my life from all different brands, so I can say with confidence that Ugg makes the comfiest pair of fuzzy socks you’ll ever own. To buy: amazon.com, $20...

Anyone named James — whether it’s their first or last name — can score 40% off stays of four nights or more at the hotel.

With plans to achieve a 30% net conservation benefit by 2040, it doesn’t just want to preserve the local environment, it also seeks to enhance it....
Staying in quarantine is not just about boredom, it’s also about connecting with other humans. And what better way to connect than having a movie night? Many cities across the U.S. are making major moves to help contain the coronavirus. As New York City advises people to stay inside, other cities like San Francisco are ordering “shelter-in-place” initiatives to truly make an impact on the virus’ spread. Sure, there are virtual tours and live streams for just about everything recently, from museums to national parks, but sometimes, you just want to indulge in some pure entertainment like a TV show or movie....

The Beatrice, a new 47-room boutique hotel, is once again proving that Providence, Rhode Island, belongs on the luxury mainstage. Growing up in Rhode Island in the ’90s, Providence always felt like a stepping stone to bigger cities. Sure, it’s always been home to stellar restaurants (I’m looking at you, Casertas, and you, Camille’s) but the rest of the scene was, shall we say, less than spectacular. It often felt like the most notable thing about the city on the national stage was the fact that we elected a mayor who was forced out of office once, then re-elected, then forced out again for racketeering (oh, and let’s not forget his truly excellent pasta sauce empire)....
United’s famous yellow globe is disappearing from the trail of its aircraft. The airline debuted its new livery at an event at Chicago O’Hare Airport on Wednesday. Before the launch, United CEO Oscar Munoz described the new livery as “an evolution not a revolution,” according to FlightGlobal. The new aircraft features the same gray belly as the previous livery but a few stylistic changes have been made. The design is rounder, with more soft lines than hard creases between colors....
Set along America’s Rust Belt, Cleveland is a former manufacturing capital turned bustling culinary and arts hub. Curious visitors have been increasingly drawn to this underrated urban destination (sort of like Prague, the way it was 20 years ago). Not only is it affordable, but also there are plenty of fun things to do in Cleveland. World-class dining, craft beer, arts, and culture — it’s all here, and for a fraction of the cost you’d find in bigger cities like New York City or San Francisco....
In December 2016, the historic Mount Royal Hotel in downtown Banff, the commercial center of Canada’s Banff National Park, suffered a terribly damaging fire — the second in its 100-plus-year history. Stuart Back, the vice president of operations at Mount Royal’s parent company, had been with the brand about two years when the fire struck. He also happens to be a firefighter with the Banff Fire Department. “When the fire department pager went off and the details came through that it was the Mount Royal hotel, my heart sank,” recalls Back....
There are all sorts of things you probably should pack in your carry-on (another pair of underwear, toothbrush and toothpaste, a book), but there’s one thing you’ll never want to forget: a tennis ball. Stick with me, here. It’s not so you can spend your flight bouncing your tennis ball against the airplane cabin wall (really, don’t do that). Instead, use it to help out with some mid-flight stretching. We all know sitting for an extended amount of time wreaks havoc on your health, so it’s no surprise that long-haul flights are not high on the list of healthy activities....

The first day of spring is less than two weeks away, and with warmer weather finally kicking in, now is the time to give your wardrobe a much-needed refresh. Besides swapping your heavy winter coats for light transitional jackets, you’ll also want to throw your warm boots in the back of your closet and replace them with a comfortable pair of sandals.

For your next trip to the Big Apple, here are eight points of interest that are worth visiting to get a better grasp of New York City’s many cultural layers....
The city of New York has dismissed a proposal to build two golf courses in Central Park, saying the plan is not up for debate. “The City is not considering such a proposal, which would not only take away a vast amount of green space enjoyed by millions of New Yorkers and visitors every year, but would also significantly alter this crown jewel of our parks system and national historic landmark,” a spokesperson from the mayor’s office told Travel + Leisure in an e-mail....
Made with high-density memory foam, the car seat cushion has a contoured design to ensure maximum, long-lasting support by alleviating pressure on your tailbone.
