New York City’s popular stretch of Fifth Avenue between Bryant Park and Central Park will be redesigned into a “world-class public space,” as part of a vision plan the city’s Mayor Eric Adams announced Sunday.

However, it’s also often crowded and congested, especially during the holiday season with its festive decor and proximity to the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree....

The two BFFs hosted an Instagram Live that went from fully clothed to straight down to their Calvins before long....

The 9-year-old royal was unable to attend, but his parents Prince William and Kate Middleton offered the sweetest RSVP to the birthday girl. “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have asked me to thank you for your letter, in which you invite Prince George to your 6th Birthday party,” a staff member from Kensington Palace wrote in a sweet letter, per Hello!...

We’re all approaching the dreaded moment.

Whatever it is, we’ve got love for it. And we bet you do too. Here are 15 small towns that are ideal for a summer getaway right now....

When Travel + Leisure readers throw their collective weight behind an opinion, it tends to create a ripple effect — especially when it comes to the results of the World’s Best Awards. In declaring the best cities in the world, they consider hotels, Michelin-rated restaurants, rich cultural heritage, top attractions and, in recent years, COVID-19 protocols. The votes are then counted, numbers crunched, and we arrive at a score for each city — and, ultimately, the ranking of the best 25 across the globe....

Everybody deserves a little pampering once in a while. But taking a luxury trip to a far-flung locale tends to come with a hefty price tag, especially when you’re after high-end services and five-star stays. Unless, of course, you head to Bangkok, which was just named the most affordable city for a luxury travel experience in the world.

In the southeastern corner of Georgia lies the Okefenokee Swamp, a 438,000-acre wetland. The cypress-filled wilderness — with its labyrinth of black canals inhabited by some 12,000 gators — is a long drive from anywhere. Visitors have three main entry points to choose from, each about two hours from the next. The section I knew the least about before my visit this spring was Stephen C. Foster State Park. It’s nestled within the much larger Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, but it offers much that the bigger reserve does not, including campsites with electrical hookups, running water, and access until 10 p....

While Rock stood on stage appearing shocked, Smith continued to shout at him from his seat, repeating, per multiple clips on Twitter: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth....

Adele went all out when it came to fashion for Sunday night’s NBA All-Star game with boyfriend Rich Paul. Sitting courtside with Paul to her left and Super Bowl halftime headliner Mary J. Blige to her right, the Grammy winner looked stunning in a dramatic leopard coat that proved she wasn’t hiding from the cameras.

If you follow social media closely, you’ve likely seen that the “coastal grandmother” trend is having a major moment. TikTok user @lexnicoleta coined the term a few months ago in her now viral video, where she explained, “If you love Nancy Meyers movies, coastal vibes, recipes and cooking, Ina Garten, interiors, and more, there is a good chance you might be a ‘coastal grandmother.’” And since then, many of us have been trying to incorporate the relaxed, easy-breezy aesthetic into our lives....
