The Great Montana Road Trip: Exploring what the West has to offer outside the city

Photography, Nature, Outdoors

Reading Travels with Charley, John Steinbeck’s delightful memoir about discovering America in an RV with his dog, inspired me to road-trip through Montana. Even as a world-weary old man, the great American novelist gushed about Montana like a moonstruck teenager. He was enchanted by its vastness—its mountains, oceanic plains, and pristine forests—as much as by its salt-of-the-earth people. “For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection,” he wrote. “But with Montana, it is love.”

Worn out after a tough winter in New York City, I pulled the trigger on a Montana highway odyssey this past March. Early spring seemed like a sensible time to go—I’d skip both the arctic chill of winter and the crowds of summer. I set aside eight days for a loop from Bozeman to Glacier and back down, intent on taking my time along highways hailed as among the most beautiful in America, with plenty of lingering in small towns and national parks.

Waldorf Astoria New York Is Transforming Its Ballroom Into a Tennis Court — For 1 Night Only

Handrail, Ballroom, Indoors

The Waldorf Astoria New York opened in 1931. It oozes New York City elegance. Since its inception, the historic property’s been a crown jewel in Hilton’s portfolio. So much so, it was Hilton founder Conrad Hilton himself who declared the Waldorf Astoria “The Greatest of Them All.”

It’s no wonder why Waldorf Astoria New York is part of the festivities for the upcoming 146th edition of the U.S. Open. And the legendary property is doing so in a very legendary way. For one night only, Waldorf Astoria New York is transforming its iconic ballroom into a full-size tennis court. That’s right: Tennis beneath the chandeliers. The dance floor will make way for the baseline for one of the most unexpected tennis venues ever.

Stockholm: Copenhagen’s Bigger, Bluer Cousin

Architecture, Building, Spire

Copenhagen and Stockholm are often paired on Scandinavian itineraries, which makes complete sense. Both are handsome waterfront capitals packed with boats, bicycles, top-tier public transport, serious museums, and a population that seems constitutionally incapable of designing an ugly chair.

But they aren’t interchangeable.
