Even while practicing safe social distancing, these performers can still werk. A drive-in drag show is coming to the New York-New Jersey area this week, featuring many performers from RuPaul’s Drag Race, Time Out reported. The show will also be touring other parts of the country, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, and the Washington D.C. area.

Transport yourself back to 1985 –– and a place where things are not always what they seem. While the pandemic is still ongoing and season four of Stranger Things is set to release sometime in 2021, fans of the sci-fi drama won’t have to wait very long to get their fill of The Upside Down.

A New York City restaurant is taking the temperature of every person who enters, in an attempt to ease concerns about dining out during the state’s coronavirus outbreak. Sushi Katsuei, an omakase restaurant with locations in Manhattan’s West Village and Brooklyn’s Park Slope, posted a sign on its doors saying that “for everyone’s safety” it would take the temperature of all diners, couriers and staff who walked in.

Some people stress the importance of not forgetting about your skincare routine when you’re traveling, but for me, the emphasis is always placed more on bodycare. It’s easy to pack small skincare items like thin bottles of sunscreen, tiny jars of moisturizers, and slim tubes of hydrating serums, but it’s harder to pack a typical bottle of body wash or cream without resorting to mini, 3.4-ounce-or-less bottles that don’t carry enough product to last you for more than a week and a half, tops....

Travel lovers in Japan jumped at the chance to have a meal on an All Nippon Airways plane — even though the experience came at a hefty price. This week, the airline launched a new promotion serving up their parked aircraft as “winged restaurants” to make up for lack of travel due to the pandemic. The experience will run twice a day through April 11 — but sold out before it even began, according to Time Out Tokyo....

Some European borders are open to American tourists. Others, however, remain adamantly closed. Some countries require a negative PCR test, others require a full vaccine identification card. Some are in the “green” list, others in the “amber”… and on, and on, and on, in one confusing jumble of post-pandemic haze that can admittedly make the return of travel a bit overwhelming. But if you’re ready, Luis Araújo, president of both the European Travel Commission and Visit Portugal, the Portuguese National Tourism Board, says book a ticket and stay a while — so long as you follow the rules....

To most, sending postcards is an old-fashioned, outdated way of keeping in touch — what’s the point when you can just post on Facebook and rake in the likes from everyone you know (and their mother)? When I send a postcard to a loved one, their (texted) response is usually something along the lines of, “Wow, thanks! I haven’t gotten a postcard in forever!” And when I admit to others that I’m an avid postcard sender, people usually tilt their heads and ask, “They still sell postcards?...

Mobile ticketing is just one of the many technological wonders that travelers can enjoy today. But does having your boarding pass on your phone really make your trip easier? According to Sophie-Claire Hoeller at Insider, printing your boarding pass may have more benefits than mobile ticketing. In Hoeller’s op-ed, she posits that having a paper ticket and chatting with gate and check-in agents when necessary is the best way to ensure a good flight....

Instagram is almost never what it seems. And some people have their darling siblings to remind them of that. According to Insider, Carly Sosnowski called out her Instagram influencer sister, Casey, after she claimed to be going on a hike in one of her photos. It turns out, she was actually just posing in her family’s backyard. Carly Sosnowski posted a “behind the scenes” photo of her sister, who has over 4,000 followers on Instagram, posing near a particularly lush part of the yard, Insider reported....

You are a good person. You are eating a turnip. You are partaking of the virtues of the land, shunning herbicides, giving the finger to the corporate-industrial machine. You are eating a turnip grown by a man who wears blue jeans but likely calls them dungarees, a man named Jeremiah, the owner of a tiny organic farm in Wisconsin. You know this because your waitress has just shared Jeremiah’s inspiring story....

Several airlines have agreed to require proof of a negative COVID-19 test for passengers flying from the United Kingdom to New York after the state’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo blasted the U.S. for not joining dozens of other nations in cutting off travel following the news of a new coronavirus strain across the pond. Virgin Atlantic, Delta Air Lines, and British Airways have all agreed to test people before they get on a flight to New York, Cuomo said in an interview with CNN on Monday....

The name Diane von Furstenberg is synonymous with flattering and (somehow) exceptionally comfortable womenswear. The iconic DVF wrap dress has prevailed through years of trends that come and go, and for good reason. No designer can match DVF when it comes to creating the perfect wrap dress silhouette and experience – and now that same iconic silhouette is available in swimwear. DVF has collaborated with Onia Swim, a clothing label with roots in menswear, so comfort and purpose are among some of the brand’s strongest pillars....

We all know someone who runs on coffee. It could be your best friend, it could be your mom, it could even be yourself. No matter who it is, coffee drinkers will never say no to a cup — which is exactly why it makes the perfect gift. But how do you give the gift of coffee? While a mug or coffee shop gift card gets the job done, we think something a little more creative and personal is the way to a java lover’s heart....

I remember the thrill and excitement of traveling internationally for the first time as an adult. As a child, we traveled back and forth to Kenya, as my mother is from Mombasa, but traveling on a trip that I paid for was an infatuating experience. I’m a writer and entrepreneur. My first international trip (as an adult) was for an entrepreneurial event at the University of Sydney. I got a life-changing opportunity to fly from Milwaukee, Wisconsin (where I lived at the time) to one of the top countries on my travel list: Australia....

Kit Kemp — the British designer and hotelier who created the dishware Bergdorf Goodman once used for its elegant afternoon tea service — is bringing a whimsical world of wonder to the iconic New York City department store for the holidays. Marius Chira Kemp is converting what was once her seventh floor secret garden into a holiday pop-up that sells custom artwork, trinkets, and of course, that iconic tea set from the Bergdorf Goodman restaurant....

McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas is getting a new name. The hub will soon be renamed after Harry Reid, Nevada’s retired U.S. senator. The Clark County Commission voted unanimously on Tuesday to approve a measure to file the new name with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Associated Press reported. Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty “It is with humility that I express my appreciation for the recognition today,” the former senator, who served from 1987 to 2017, tweeted on Tuesday....

Louis Vuitton wants you to feel good about looking good, which is exactly why it’s launching a new eco-responsible line. On July 16, the luxury brand will launch the Felt Line, which features three iconic Louis Vuitton pieces: a Keepall, a soft trunk, and an overcoat. But, while the designs may be old favorites, the materials are all new and include organic cotton, recycled wool-based jacquard, 100% recycled polyester derived from existing stocks, and recycled plastic....
