Absolute stunners over at @marisellarestaurant, @ritzcarltonbacarasb. The views inside and out, in the glass and on the plate, are hard to surpass. Thank you for having us and thank you to @805living magazine for another beautiful collab in their Food & Wine issue, out now! 🥂

“Perched on a seaside bluff at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara @ritzcarltonbacarasb, Santa Barbara, the new Marisella @marisellarestaurant restaurant takes full advantage of its setting with expansive windows, flowing outdoor patios, and a seafood-centric coastal Italian menu. The fine-dining restaurant from chef-partner Danny Grant @chefdannygrant opened in June, offering a selection of local catch, handmade pastas, seasonal produce, and wood-fired meats. An Italian-leaning menu, a collaboration between Grant and executive chef Samuel Garcia @sam_en_place, highlights ingredients from local sources.”

Now that you have a vicarious buzz from that mega martini (previous post🍸), let’s continue. This last stop on my excellent East Coast adventure was ideal in every way. Passionate about design as I am, I’d been curious about @twahotel since it first started to get press in 2019 after a total restoration and transformation from airline terminal to hotel. Apparently, Eero Saarinen’s soaring, swooping masterpiece had fallen into extensive disrepair. There’s so much fascinating history here, please google architect Richard Southwell and TWA terminal preservation for loads more info. Flying @hawaiianairlines to and from HNL on their direct flight, the idea of jettisoning my rental car and walking - yes walking - with my roller bag from the airport train right into the hotel and settling in for the night before doing the same through the Saarinen tunnel the next morning straight into Terminal 5 to catch my flight home, was literally the only exit plan I entertained. Not being a morning person, I’ve always dreaded the homeward bound crack-of-dawn exodus from Manhattan, so a new strategy was called for. Could any travel experience be more civilized than booking pool time at sunset, watching the planes land and take off, drink in hand (zoom the guy in the pool’s blissed out expression), then meet up with a quartet of Parsons School of Design friends (who made the trek out to JFK) for a delicious dinner at the Jean-Georges outpost Paris Café, then falling into a heavenly bed while gazing out the window at the glowing icon below? In the morning, gliding down the red carpet from the Howard Hughes wing where I’d slept, in search of a (great) café au lait, what better way to be blasted to full attention than Shirley Bassey belting out the Goldfinger theme as I entered into the sun-drenched lobby? I cannot wait to go back. (When I catch my breath after this mini thesis of a post, I’ll put these plus lots more images up on Stories.) #eerosaarinen #twa #twahotel #jfkairport #midcenturymodern #midcenturymoderndesign #sixtiesstyle #sixtiesmusic #sixtiesmod #midcenturymodernarchitecture #whiteandred #curvaceous #sexydesign #pariscafe #howardhughes #richardsouthwell

Sad to hear the end of the print run of @departuresmag that was once beautifully helmed by @richard_david_story
This is from a trip a while ago.

I love this city! If you had been casually strolling down Hudson Street last night you would have just stumbled onto this magic moment: @thejohnriddle singing @hinkleystomp playing guitar, @robbiefairchild doing flowers (and that foot tap! Watch the video.) If you weren’t there, go next Friday, or the one after that. Robbie and @bookaynyc will be outside the Muse showroom at 605 Hudson Street every Friday in April. And you never know who might turn up. Or sing. Or dance. And 10% of proceeds go to the @theactorsfund and all of Robbie’s team are members of the theater community. When the world turned upside down, Robbie turned a passion for flowers into a business that is thriving and giving back at the same time. And if you love the way he dances, order his flowers, the dance is in them. @bookaynyc @musexmuse #i❤️ny

Richard David Story was not only one of the finest magazine editors who ever lived, but he was one of the most generous, joyous and imaginative. He lived a life larger than most could dream of and he loved sharing it. Whether through editorial pages, events or personal introductions, he certainly enriched my life and travels throughout the years for which I’m eternally grateful. Richard, you will be dearly missed as you take your departure from this world, but your spirit and largesse live on!

Turn on Tunes 🎵 Prepare a playlist that appeals to all ages or check out the fun Thanksgiving Day mix, BEA THANKFUL, compiled by @805living resident DJ @darlabea, on @spotify channel. The 2-Hour Music Collection starts setting the mood with @nataliecoleofficial version of “Be Thankful” & continues with an easy but energizing, late-70’s vibe, with dance beats as well as softer sounds that allow for conversation. “Its message of gratitude resonates a lot for everyone this year,” says Bea. “It’s a sophisticated list with artists from @sinatra to @macdememe.co that speaks to thankfulness, coming together, and friendship.”
