Ian Schrager’s EDITION Hotels has some of the coolest accomodations in the world; its London location is the place to be during London Fashion Week, and during Art Basel in Miami Beach, the Miami Beach EDITION hosted some of Miami Art Week’s best parties. This May The EDITION will open its doors in New York’s Flatiron District in the Clocktower building right across from Madison Square Park.

The New York EDITION will no doubt be one of the coolest places to stay and socialize once it opens. With 273 rooms that feel like residences, a 2,900-square-foot restaurant, a lobby bar, and a fitness center and spa.

When you enter in one of The New York EDITION’s 273 guest rooms, which were designed by architect David Rockwell, through a dark oak wood paneled foyer, you feels as if you’re entering a luxury New York apartment in the 1920s. Several of the suites come with 180-degree views of Manhattan, and if you’re lucky enough to stay in the 1,400-square-foot penthouse, you’ll have 360-degree vistas. Set up your workstation at the extra long and deep floating white oak desk that was inspired by French designer Jean-Michel Frank. When you’re ready to sleep, indulge in luxurious bed.

In the mood for a bite? Head over to the restaurant, which is helmed by hot young London chef Jason Atherton, who has set up a menu that Atherton told Bloomberg Pursuits would be “like a slice of old England in a modern New York hotel.” The vast space will feature three dining rooms, a parlor with a billiard table, and a library.

So if you want to be on the pulse of what’s cool in New York, book a room in The New York EDITION pronto, and if that’s a bit too much, head over to its restaurant, which is sure to be the next spot to see and be seen in the Big Apple.

Great Smoky Mountains opens US 441 after Hurricane Helene (but here’s why you shouldn’t visit)
US 441 opens, but you might still want to reschedule your fall foliage trips.
Great Smoky Mountains in October

Fall is one of the most popular times of year to visit Great Smoky Mountain National Park. However, in the wake of Hurricane Helene, you may want to reconsider your trip. The Great Smoky Mountains and the surrounding areas are seeing record-breaking flooding and devastation. While the last of the storm might have fizzled on Monday, it will take time and resources to rebuild.

The National Park Service (NPS) is doing everything possible to open up roadways, including US 441, which is set to reopen on the morning of Wednesday, October 2. Even though some of the park is beginning to open up, outdoor recreation at Great Smoky Mountains National Park is discouraged. Most roads remain closed without an estimated reopen date, and trails are in terrible shape. The NPS reports a high potential for limited resources, downed trees, damaged power lines, flooded creeks, and hazardous trail conditions.

Tropicana Las Vegas to be imploded for new A’s ballpark and Bally’s entertainment resort
The implosion will take place on October 9 at 2:30 a.m. PT
Tropicana Las Vegas

The historic Tropicana Las Vegas is set to come down in a dramatic implosion scheduled for 2:30 a.m. PT on Wednesday, October 9. The iconic casino-hotel, which has graced the strip for over six decades, will be demolished to make room for a cutting-edge ballpark for the Oakland A’s and a new luxury entertainment resort in partnership with Bally’s Corporation.

GGG Demolition in coordination with Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI), will take down the structure, with a total of 917,400 square feet being demolished. The implosion, which will clear the site for the new project, is expected to be quite the show. A synchronized display of 555 drones and fireworks, orchestrated by renowned pyrotechnics company Fireworks by Grucci, will add to the spectacle. Due to safety concerns, public access to the site will be restricted, but the event will be broadcast live through the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s social media platforms, Bally Live at ballylive.com, the Bally Live app, and major local TV networks.
