Faster than the speed of weekend.
These are a bunch of football helmets autographed by great players like Tom Brady, Odell Beckham Jr., Reggie White and the Mannings. And this is us telling you that they could be sitting in your living room one game day soon. It’s also us name-dropping.
First, you’ve got to wax poetic about a song that was recorded in Abbey Road Studios. Then, you’ve got to win this Airbnb contest. Then, and only then, you and three friends will be flown to London, be given a tour by Mark Ronson (naturally), have a chance to record a hit single and sleep right there in North London’s most famous townhouse. And... go.
French train stations—plus one Francis Ford Coppola–owned San Francisco café—are now housing some very different vending machines. Step up, input how much time you’ve got to kill before your train (or your pizza) arrives, and said machines will spit out complimentary short stories or poems to entertain you while you wait. It was the next logical progression after candy bars.
Your checklist for a hungover Sunday morning in Portugal now involves sunglasses, Advil and this ambitious sandwich. It’s got cheese-covered bread, thin-cut steak, ham, pork sausage and an egg, plus a side of fries, doused in tomato-beer gravy. Friends, this is the Francesinha. Maybe don’t have two.
Robert Simonson just released a book that tells the tale of how we all came to live in the golden era of cocktails. It’s called A Proper Drink. It’s good stuff. It’s also why we sat down with him last week to talk favorite bartenders, history and the mixology revival. And TGI Fridays, somehow.
This three-square-mile island near Barbados is now home to an array of newly built suites and villas. They’ve got three-tiered tanning decks, infinity pools, digitally controlled guest suites, a swim-up bar and other things you might be into. Massage huts come to mind.
In Raleigh, NC: some handsome selvage denim jeans. In Ashland, PA: a classic flannel. In Randolph, MA: some old-school aviators. In conclusion: a menswear-oriented fall road trip makes a lot of sense.
