As someone who used to “borrow” his dad’s National Geographic magazines to cut out nature photos to tape to school binders, sailing the Galápagos Islands for the first time — on Lindblad Expeditions’ new National Geographic Islander II — is as dreamy a trip as I could imagine. “The area is like the nursery of the ocean,” said naturalist Ixora Berdonces of Santa Cruz — the archipelago’s most populous island. She waved out toward the mangrove ecosystem of Black Turtle Cove like she was conducting a symphony....

Washington, D.C. may be steeped in history and tradition, but it’s never stuck in the past. Our nation’s capital is constantly evolving and reinventing itself, offering residents and visitors a steady stream of new restaurants, museums, events, and hotels. And the latest example of our capital’s thriving hospitality scene and modern spirit is Pendry Washington DC—The Wharf, which officially opens tomorrow, Oct. 26. Overlooking the Potomac River in D.C.’s trendiest waterfront district, the Wharf, the sleek glass-wrapped property features 131 guest rooms and suites, three food-and-beverage concepts, and a rooftop lounge, a pool, and a spa, among other offerings....

Tom Brady recently announced his decision to leave the New England Patriots and join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and now he and wife Gisele Bündchen are putting down roots in Tampa to prepare for the upcoming season. And what better place for NFL star Brady to live than the mansion of another sports legend, Derek Jeter? Brady and Bündchen are renting Jeter’s Florida home (which, by the way, he built himself), and they’ll be moving in as soon as possible....

The popular Italian town of Sorrento has an important new rule: don’t walk around in your bathing suit. The town’s mayor, Massimo Coppola, announced an order last week banning people from walking around shirtless or in a swimsuit, and fining them if they do, according to a Facebook post. People who violate the new order will face a fine from 25 to 500 euros. “No more indecent behavior,” Coppola wrote in Italian on July 6....

The Mediterranean Sea touches 22 nations and borders more than 28,000 miles of coastline, according to the Europe Environment Agency. From the Greek Islands to Egypt, Croatia to Morocco, and Slovenia to Spain, the rugged coastlines dip into the crystalline waters, providing a connection point to some of the most intriguing destinations on the planet. But, rather than traversing these destinations by car, train, or plane, visitors can see and do more by taking to the water for a Mediterranean cruise....

There’s now a diamond in the sky in the country of Georgia — in the form of a glass bar suspended from a bridge dangling about 900 feet above the Dashbashi Canyon (also known as Tsalka Canyon). It’s located about a two-hour drive west of the capital city of Tbilisi. The spectacular attraction opened last week featuring a 787-foot-long Diamond Bridge, as its dubbed according to the Georgian and Isreali investment firm Kass Group that backed the project....

Blue Ivy Carter is stealing the show from mom and dad as she makes the most adorable cameo in Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s new Tiffany & Co. short film. The “About Love” campaign was inspired by Audrey Hepburn and her iconic cab scene in the beloved movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. As the parents of three enjoy a date night around Manhattan in the back of a cab, their romantic evening gets disrupted by nine-year-old Blue Ivy, who is seen running behind the vehicle to catch up with her parents....

Brad Pitt is enjoying his single life after his contentious divorce from Angelina Jolie. Just because he’s back on the dating market, it doesn’t mean that he’s ready to jump headfirst into a serious relationship. The 58-year-old actor seems more focused on buying a $40 million estate in Carmel, California, exploring his sense of style, and hanging out with “a large group of artsy friends in L.A.” A People insider dropped the morsel about Pitt’s romantic life and described him as “dating,” but noted that he’s not in “a serious relationship....

Colin Jost revealed that his mother has finally accepted the name Cosmo, which he and wife Scarlet Johansson chose for their newborn son, after needing time to adjust to the unique moniker. On a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the Saturday Night Live star shared that his mother did not initially understand the name Cosmo. “My family is very supportive always,” he said on the episode. “My mom, I would say, was slightly thrown by [the name] and didn’t quite understand it....

It’s time to start the new year off right! We can probably all agree that 2020 was quite the year…but it’s finally in the past now. And with a new year comes a new opportunity to build new (better, healthier) habits. For many people, that means a commitment to clean eating — and celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis has the perfect healthy dinner recipe to jump start your efforts: Lemon honey dijon chicken....

Quick check: How’s your New Year’s resolution to eat healthier going? If you’re anything like us, it started out strong and then… well, we’ve slowly begun slacking. But sometimes, all you need is a quick new addition to your usual recipe rotation to get back on track. We love salads, as they’re easy to make and a simple way to incorporate more greens into our diets, but a big glug of salad dressing isn’t always the healthiest addition....

The Jackson Hole adrenaline rush hits long before a skier makes it to the top of the mountain — it hits before their plane even touches the ground. Approaching the airport, located entirely within Grand Teton National Park, it’s impossible not to be struck by the rugged beauty of the powder-dipped peaks that surround the valley. They’re the reason most wintertime travelers make the journey to Wyoming — along with the frequent snowfall, varied terrain, and dramatic views, which are all motivation enough to pack some gear and head out for the weekend....

Khloé Kardashian hasn’t said anything publicly about ex Tristan Thompson’s public apology, which is totally understandable given how humiliating the whole situation has been for her. But she is appreciating the kind gesture older sister Kourtney Kardashian and fiancé Travis Barker sent her way in the wake of the NBA player’s paternity confirmation. The couple sent a bouquet of pale pink roses, which traditionally symbolize grace, sweetness and gentleness — something Khloé could sure use a large dose of after Thompson fathered a child with Maralee Nichols while he was in a relationship with the reality star....

If you’ve never seen an adorable baby dressed head to toe in Burberry, Brittany Matthews and her NFL quarterback fiance Patrick Mahomes have got you covered.

A post shared by Brittany Matthews (@brittanylynne) Matthews posted a series of family photos to her Instagram in honor of what she was the most thankful for on Turkey Day....

Beginning in August, Quark Expeditions will bring local Inuit chefs on board its new ship, the 199-passenger Ultramarine, for select sailings around Greenland and Arctic Canada. Through Tundra to Table, a first-of-its-kind culinary program, passengers can book small-group four-course meals focusing on the region’s Indigenous history and modern cuisine. Menus are based on what is fresh and available, with dishes including dry-salted caribou, beer-braised musk ox, and Greenland herring with pickled angelica and juniper cream....

It was in December, a few years ago, that I first visited Fairmont Le Château Frontenac (doubles from $230), whose fairy-tale silhouette rises on a promontory above the St. Lawrence River. I was smitten. But what, I wondered, would Samuel de Champlain—who founded Quebec City on this very rock—have thought of the astonishing building that looms where his fort once stood? He would certainly have appreciated the wave of warm air that greeted me as I walked into the chandeliered lobby....

Talk show host Sherri Shepherd feels mom guilt and wants the world to know that not only is it normal, but very common. Along with that, she gives words of wisdom on how to remind yourself you’re doing the best you can in a recent interview with People.

These bed sheets have racked up more than 239,000 perfect ratings, with shoppers lauding them for their softness, quality, and how easy they are to care for. In fact, many note how well made they are and that they even outperform their more expensive counterparts, with one shopper admitting they are a sheet snob who “used Brooklinen and Pottery Barn for years.” They continued in their review, “They just weren’t passing the test for me anymore, especially when I was spending hundreds [of dollars] on sheets....

While Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal often steal the spotlight, Canada is dotted with its fair share of delightful and laid-back small towns. From charming fishing villages in the east to atmospheric mountain towns in the west, many of these communities are gateways to outdoor adventures. Stay awhile, though, and you’ll discover artisan shops, microbreweries, farm-to-table restaurants, and friendly locals to guide the way. Caroline Perron/Courtesy of Tourisme Charlevoix With three coastlines — the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic — impressive mountain ranges, and the largest protected boreal forest on the planet, Canada has no shortage of awe-inspiring landscapes....
