Want to feel like a lad watching England vs. Norway in New York City? The London is where it’s at

The quarterfinals are here. The London's where you should be.

Flag, Plant, City

The last quarterfinal games in the 2026 FIFA World Cup are here. England-Norway kicks things off in Miami before Argentina-Switzerland caps the day's action in Kansas City. One of the best things to come out of the World Cup has been the atmosphere these fans have provided at each city they've visited. We saw the amazing vibes out of Mexico City last week when England fans visited. Before the game, England fans partied and went toe-to-toe with Mexicans at bars everywhere. I know because I was there at The Dog House Pub.

After England beat Mexico in a classic Round of 16 game, fans flooded the streets and partied. We celebrated with England fans until the wee hours of the morning. If you have a serious case of FOMO, you need not worry. You can still catch good vibes and feel like a lad watching England-Norway at The London, A Luxury Collection Hotel, in New York City.

There’s more to do in Napa Valley than just wine tasting

Silverado Resort is the ideal place to experience it all

Silverado Resort in Napa Valley

Tell someone you're going to Napa Valley, and it conjures images of rolling vineyards and wine tastings. Both are good things to be sure, but there's more to do in Napa than sample fermented grapes. And that's good news for travelers who don't drink, want to explore a different side of Napa, or simply prefer other pursuits.

Napa Valley's wine country reputation, while well-earned, can overshadow what is a legitimately diverse playground. There are championship golf courses, world-class spas, hiking trails, a walkable downtown, and some of the best dining in the country. And it's all easily accessible, whether these activities are the focus of your trip or something to squeeze in between tasting rooms.

These 8 Philadelphia historic activities reveal the America most tourists miss

Skip the overwhelm and consider these 8 under-the-radar stops on your next visit to the City of Brotherly Love.

People, Person, Clothing

Philly has so many layers of American history that it’s hard to take it all in. Like most first-time visitors, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of Philadelphia history sites at my disposal. So I stuck to safe bets like the Liberty Bell and Reading Terminal Market, usual suspects that tourists explore when planning a trip to Philadelphia.

And while these stops hold real significance, I was left feeling that I had barely scratched the surface. With century-old landmarks piquing my curiosity at every turn, I knew I’d be back for a deeper dive.
