Passport to Privacy

Private travel has always been the epitome of luxury. Chartered planes, chauffeured cars and exclusive accommodations are often considered options that are available for only the fortunate few, the rest of us left to wrestle with airport traffic, long security lines and early morning wake-ups in order to claim a lounger by the pool. Whether it’s the ease of accessibility or the prioritizing of health safety, this year, globetrotters are looking to more personalized options for land, sea and air.

 

Swimming in hues of green and blue water, feeling the island breezes blow through our hair is what Caribbean dreams are made of, and there is no one better at connecting passengers to paradise than Makers Air. Arriving at the Fort Lauderdale executive airport, valet is ready with an immediate greeting, taking luggage off your hands while the reservation agents and charter concierge are notified of your arrival.  

 

Being escorted to the Makers Club, a private lounge for your group, you glance to the bar and see that a perfectly chilled glass of your favorite rosé is already being poured. After being guided out to the aircraft, the pilot introduces himself while you step onto a new Cessna Grand Caravan EX, the sumptuous interior providing plush seating for up to eight guests. 

 

The sparkling shores of the Bahamas is a short flight away, offering high-end accommodations throughout their islands and cays. Though the options for 5-star resorts are plentiful, there is nothing more opulent than arriving in Staniel Cay, where you are welcomed by the crew as you board a private yacht. Whether you desire adventure, pure tranquility or exploring on shore, Worth Avenue Yachts will create the ultimate charter experience, complete with award-winning chefs crafting epicurean delights.

 

Settling into your suite is a breeze, while the attentive crew leaves you totally free to relax, explore, and excite in the freedom of the sea as you launch from shore. The chef, aware of your food preferences, sends a perfect sampling of favorite tastes while a stewardess brings a chilled, premium cocktail. A tour of the yacht reveals numerous dining areas, expansive sun decks, an inviting jacuzzi and massive theater that is perfect for a movie night after sun-soaked days. 

Reviewing the itinerary in your little orange passport, thoughtfully sent to you before arrival, you see the days and nights are the perfect blend of relaxed ease and exciting escapades, including water sports and snorkeling, beach BBQ’s, swimming with nurse sharks and themed dinner parties. No distractions or worries, surrounded by those you adore with your every need anticipated, it doesn’t get more luxurious than this.

San Vicente- Los Angeles private members club debuts next door to the Jane Hotel in the West Village. Adjacent to the Jane Hotel, a renowned party venue from the early 2000s, the upscale San Vicente recently opened its doors in the West Village. The club essentially lacks the secrecy of, for instance, the Century Club, which is the chosen club of the old-school media elite, and instead has the “see-and-be-seen” intensity factor.

Harold Moore’s Cafe Commerce heads to the Upper East Side. Downtown restaurants are nothing new to Harold Moore. In addition to Bistro Pierre Lapin and Harold’s in the Arlo Hotel in Hudson Square, the former student of Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Daniel Boulud had his own popular restaurant, Commerce, in the West Village from 2008 to 2015.  After the closures and a period serving as chef for Charlie Palmer’s empire from 2015 until 2023, Moore has made the decision to go at it once more, this time on the Upper East Side.
