Washington D.C. | For us, autumn means one thing above all else: It’s peak restaurant season. Everyone’s back from summer adventures and there are a ton of restaurants to explore: new openings, neighborhood gems, and all the standbys you can’t want to revisit. Here’s where we’re excited about this fall.

Miami may very well be the “it” food city in America right now, and for good reason — Magic City is on a roaring pace for restaurant openings, giving many people hope for a future where restaurants, shuttered during the COVID-19 pandemic, can spring back to life quickly. Right now, the sense of energy in Miami’s dining capital is everywhere and it’s also alluring to chefs.

Aruba is enticing remote workers with discounted hotels and unlimited sunshine. The perks of working remotely from the Caribbean are pretty obvious: It is almost certainly more scenic than your current WFH setup, and most of the islands are on East Coast time, if not an hour ahead—meaning you can keep up with colleagues even as you lounge poolside with a coconut-infused beverage.

The first rule of international travel is, don’t leave your passport on your dresser, where you of course could never, ever forget it. The second rule is, always fly direct, because layovers are vacation-killers. Except -- hold on a sec. Have you heard of the stopover? Picture a layover so long it goes back around to actually good.
