Bravo’s hit reality TV series Below Deck Mediterranean returned to screens this week, with captain Sandy Yawn and the rest of the crew climbing aboard yet another spectacular (and pricey) superyacht for another dramatic charter season.  The star of the latest installment is Akira One, a 170-footer that Benetti delivered in 1998. It is currently up for charter at Fraser Yachts, with rates starting at 176,000 euros, or roughly $203,000,

Kerala, at the southern tip of India, is known for its traditional nalukettu courtyard homes. A recently completed project by the architecture firm Taliesyn reinterprets that centuries-old vernacular as an opulent contemporary residence, where nearly every room maintains a physical or visual connection to landscaped green space.  Spanning roughly 44,000 square feet and known as Kubos (a stylized nod to its interlocking cubic volumes), the home is organized around a soaring central atrium crowned

Texas craft distillery Garrison Brothers just announced the summer launch of its new Ranch Reserve Series, a duo of whiskeys finished in two types of sherry casks: Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez. Not only that, but the distillery had some good news to report in what is indisputably a soft whiskey market, noting that its sales have outpaced the growth of similarly priced brands in the state and nationally. Garrison Brothers,

The purists can rest easy: A battery-powered version of the Porsche 911 is not on the way. The German automaker’s CEO Michael Leiters said the brand has no intention of releasing a fully electric version of its most iconic model, according to Reuters. The sports car has been available as a hybrid for two years now, but that’s as far as the company plans to go. The executive comments, which

Linda Evans and Joan Collins made 1980s TV history with Dynasty’s famous lily pond fight. Filmed largely by the legendary actresses themselves, the Season 3 showdown saw an enraged Krystle Carrington cornering Alexis Colby, leading to an epic waterlogged brawl involving high heels, a handbag, and ruined couture. Fast-forward some four decades, and the storied Arden Villa in Pasadena where the brawl took place has now popped up for sale. Currently owned by Avengers:

Guess who’s back. After officially shuttering its doors and partaking in a scandal-ridden residency in Los Angeles, Noma is making its return to Copenhagen this August as a full-fledge restaurant. The move comes after the former Michelin 3-star spot finally went through with its long-announced closing earlier this year. Noma says this is a “new chapter” for the location. Each month will bring forward a new menu that takes its

Director and producer Jesse Bochco—son of television pioneer Steven Bochco and actress Barbara Bosson—and his wife, production and interior designer Rae Bochco, began building a bespoke home from the ground up on a double lot in the seaside community of Venice around 15 years ago, envisioning it as a midcentury-meets-bohemian homage to celebrated Los Angeles architect Ray Kappe. The couple enlisted architect Alexander Liberman of AML Studio to bring their vision

Heaven Hill has been giving its Elijah Craig Single Barrel Bourbon lineup a refresh over the past few months, adding and renewing a few age statements in this venerated whiskey portfolio. First came the introduction of the 15-year, then a new batch of the 18-year, and finally the distillery has relaunched the 21-year more than a decade after it was discontinued. We got to sample this new bourbon, and it’s

Maurice Tempelsman, the Belgian-born diamond magnate, financier, and political insider who shared a 14-year companionship with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis after the death of her second husband, Aristotle Onassis, spent the final chapter of his life in a Park Avenue penthouse with nearly 3,600 square feet of wraparound terraces. Tempelsman, who died at age 95 in 2025—roughly 31 years after Kennedy Onassis—paid $3.3 million for the two-bedroom aerie in 1999, according to

Jim Beam‘s flagship barrel-proof bourbon brand, Booker’s, is back with its second batch for 2026. This new release is called “Milkshake Batch” as a tribute to the late, legendary master distiller Booker Noe’s fondness for those particular sweet treats, especially when they had a splash of Kentucky bourbon added to them. As usual, this new expression is slightly different from past releases, and we have the details to share. Booker’s
