Next winter, Delta offers warmth during the cold with its largest-ever schedule to Latin America and the Caribbean. Two new direct routes via Atlanta, going to Grenada (GND) and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVD), are included. Delta travelers can also reach more than 52 destinations in the area directly from Atlanta.

Delta leads the way in flights to Latin America and the Caribbean

Paul Baldoni, Senior Vice President of Network Planning at Delta, said: “With two brand-new destinations in the Eastern Caribbean, Delta is expanding its offering in the region, with even more seats to Latin America and the Caribbean this winter. Customers across the U.S. will also benefit from more flights to top destinations from hubs in the Midwest and Northeast, as well as new direct service from key cities like Austin, Nashville and Raleigh-Durham.”

Delta will be the only U.S. airline offering nonstop flights to Grenada (GND) and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVD) from Atlanta. This will improve access to the remote islands’ pristine beaches and sailing opportunities. Delta will offer both routes aboard Boeing 737-800 aircraft with First Class, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabin.

Delta will also grow its Latin American and Caribbean offerings from Midwest and Northeast hubs. The airline will grow its service from Detroit (DTW) with a new Saturday flight to Grand Cayman (GCM) and more winter trips to Cancun (CUN) and Nassau (NAS). Also included is a route from Minneapolis (MSP) to Nassau (NAS). The Detroit to Grand Cayman and Minneapolis to Nassau flights will operate on a seasonal basis, flying on Saturdays between December 2025 and April 2026.

Further, Delta will begin service from Boston (LOG) to St. Thomas (STT) daily direct flights during the holiday season. Also included will be a second daily trip to Cancun (CUN) during the holidays.

Cafe Charmant, The Corner Store Crew’s Latest, Puts Food Ahead of the Scene

I’ll be honest. If I weren’t a writer, there is no way in hell I could have landed a 7:15 Saturday night reservation at Cafe Charmant just a mere four weeks after its opening. The most recent jewel in the buzzy Catch Hospitality Group’s crown, the glitzy eatery is the newest IT restaurant to hit the downtown scene, so chalk it up to one of the perks of the job that I could walk in, order a drink, and be ushered to a corner table for two in under 10 minutes.

Though the state of making prime reservations in New York City may not come as a surprise to many, I’m still not able to reconcile with the current velvet rope of so many of this city’s restaurants. Sure, the 90s and early 2000’s had their Indochine, Moomba (if you remember that one, we need to grab a drink). The Waverly Inn, but for the most part, you could easily make a reservation or even walk in and wait for a table with a cocktail in hand at most popular establishments. And, let’s be honest, half the people weren’t even eating, if you know what I mean.

A tasting guide to Livermore Valley, California’s friendliest wine country

Adult, Male, Man

Livermore Valley sits in Northern California’s East Bay, where the hustle and bustle of neighboring Oakland and San Francisco give way to grassy rolling hills, big open skies, and over 40 tasting rooms. The region is home to some of the best wines I’ve tasted in the state, without the pretense and rigidity I’ve come to expect from other tasting rooms in the region.

And thanks to the valley’s marine-influenced winds, varied climate, and diverse soils, I tasted an unusually broad range of wines. Crisp whites, structured reds, and everything in between seem to be able to find their footing here.
