Nobu North Coast

Egypt’s dining scene has a new jewel as Nobu, the world-famous lifestyle and hospitality brand, makes its long-anticipated debut in the country. Now open at OGAMI, SODIC’s signature North Coast development, Nobu North Coast brings its celebrated blend of contemporary Japanese cuisine, timeless design, and world-class service to one of Egypt’s most popular summer destinations.

Designed by the internationally acclaimed Rockwell Group, the restaurant channels the spirit of the Mediterranean through Nobu’s signature design language of natural textures, light woods, and refined geometric accents. The setting caters to international travelers and Egypt’s coastal crowd, offering a destination where you’ll find both fine dining and the laid-back charm of the seaside.

Guests can expect Nobu classics like the famed Yellowtail Jalapeño alongside exclusive, locally inspired dishes crafted just for Egypt. Beyond the food, the space embodies the brand’s Kokoro philosophy, a heartfelt connection between design, service, and experience.

Founded by chef Nobu Matsuhisa, actor Robert De Niro, and producer Meir Teper, Nobu has grown into a global empire with 57 restaurants, 46 hotels, and 20 residences worldwide. With the opening of Nobu North Coast, Egypt joins the brand’s prestigious roster of destinations from Miami to Marbella.

More than just a restaurant

Nobu North Coast is just the beginning of a larger vision at OGAMI, SODIC’s 440-acre North Coast development. Recently named “Master Plan of the Year” at the 2025 Architecture Leaders Awards, OGAMI is designed as a complete lifestyle destination.

Next up are Nobu Residences, bringing the brand’s signature style to private homes, followed by a Nobu Hotel for a fully immersive coastal experience.

SODIC and Nobu also plan to expand beyond the North Coast, with hotels, restaurants, and residences coming to The Estates and Eastown District New Cairo (EDNC).

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport: A Design-Forward Retreat in the Heart of Boston’s Waterfront
The jewel of the northeast is the perfect getaway
Architecture, Building, Office Building

It began at daybreak, as a white light poked through the split in the curtains, and I awoke from a night of slumber, and the sun opened up over Boston. I climbed out of bed, opened the curtains, with the Boston skyline across the horizon, and the harbor poking through the facades of glass and steel. Welcome to the Boston Seaport.

I was on a late spring excursion, with the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport as my headquarters, to explore the city’s newest district, where arts, culture, and activity intertwined. What would I find?

If your week was anything like mine, you'll need a strong cocktail or three this weekend. Mercifully, the martinis will flow like water this Saturday in New York City for the grand finale of World Gin Week. For the past seven days, elite cocktail bars from Cape Town and Kyoto to Singapore and Mexico City have hosted panels, bartender residencies, and tastings in celebration of all things juniper. Think of it as the World Cup for cocktail connoisseurs.

Here in Gotham, World Gin Week culminates on June 20 at The Ivory Peacock, a craft cocktail mainstay in NoMad, and its subterranean sister bar, Ploume. The two venues will host pop-ups helmed by bartenders from cathedrals of mixology like Sip & Guzzle, Dante Aperitivo, and Room 207. Expect all manner of martini mania, along with gourmet hors d'oeuvres to ensure you're still standing at the evening's end.

Sustainable sips in the heart of Oregon's wine country
Glass, Alcohol, Beer

A trip to Oregon isn’t complete without a visit to the state’s oldest wine region, the Willamette Valley. Bordered by Portland and Eugene, the spellbinding stretch of wine country is 150 miles long and is home to hundreds of tasting rooms worth a visit. But Van Duzer Vineyards is more than views and sips—it’s a wildlife sanctuary that holds a high standard for the land it sits on.

Van Duzer winery preserves 22 acres of native flora and fauna on its grounds, with six grapes and 14 clones growing on the property’s remaining 84 acres. The neighboring Basket Slough National Wildlife Refuge is home to over 250 species of bird species in its wetlands, woodlands, and grasslands, with scenic hikes just minutes from Van Duzer’s hilltop tasting room.
