Presented by Pernod Ricard Well folks, we did it again. After our very first (and rather epic) singles party last year, THE STAYCATIONERS threw yet another Valentine's Day bash for NYC's single humans, this time at subterranean neon-tinged haunt Taco Electrico in collaboration with some of the cocktail world's leading brands. Chips and guac adorned each table, drinks were clinked against a harmonious soundtrack of '90s R&B jams and the unwrapping ...

In the heart of Brickell is a rather special place, served tall with a dusting of sugar on top. At EAST, it's all about the views...the sprawling suites and their floor-to-ceiling windows gazing out upon the panoramic skyline, the pool deck nestled between the tops of neighboring buildings, and of course, the sky-high rooftop bar, Sugar, set 40 floors above citizen level. It's a masterpiece of epic proportions all around...but ...

You heard...it's gonna be a fair fight (for THE STAYCATIONERS' hearts). In this East Side Story, the crew takes over Sixty LES for a full day of primping and playing dress-up before heading down to Tiki Tabu for their very own modern debutante ball in the form of an actually cool V-Day singles party. Single malt whiskies and single people mingled long into the night, and we're pretty sure some magic happened, ...

If you know us by now, you know we're allergic to touristy areas, however there are occasional instances in which we're tickled to make exceptions. In the latest edition of "How to Make Times Square Chic," THE STAYCATIONERS shacked up at the W Hotel in the throes of this past NYFW as an oasis to our fashion fam -- call us a bad influence, but inevitably, their "break between shows" became ...
Read MoreLooking for bae? Right this way. This Valentine's Day, THE STAYCATIONERS came through for every single ready to mingle at Tiki Tabu inside OG staycation hotspot, Sixty LES. Sure, IRL flirting may seem old fashioned next to the digital dating phenomenon to which we devote a good portion of our daily phone battery, but we’re here to say that there’s truly nothing better than a tête-à-tête over a glass of ...

As much as we love hanging below 14th Street, we're the first to show you a more elevated side of the city (in every sense of the word). Enter the Quin Hotel, where uptown leisure is taken to the next level with impeccable service, an uptown aesthetic, and sky-high balconies complete with the soaring city views of a true staycationer's wildest dreams. The floor-to-ceiling marble lobby doesn't hurt either. It ...

Social calendar shut down in January? Not the case for THE STAYCATIONERS crew. Despite Old Man winter's shade, we strapped our boots and pounded the pavement en route to a downtown jaunt in De Niro's backyard. It's within the cast-iron accommodations of the Duane Street Hotel where quintessential city activities are just a New York-minute away; think quiet cocktail bars, pop-up boutiques, intimate art exhibitions and Michelin-starred eats. With weekenders ...

The weather outside is disrespectful, so do as THE STAYCATIONERS do and devise a foolproof plan for getting snowed in somewhere sexy. Enter Scribner's: dark maple floors, sheepskin throws, and fireplaces galore come together to create a little slice of heaven in the form of a Scandinavian-chic hotel. It brings the extra exactly where you want it in the form of patterned Persian rugs, plush hotel robes, and ready-to-burn s'mores. ...

'Twas the night before everyone had to go to work in the morning, and all through the clandestine cocktail bar above Casa Apicii, there were creatures a-stirring giant pots of spiced boozy concoctions for pajama-clad partygoers. The verdict - a sleighcation of epic, festive proportions. There was a live photobooth. There were Vestment robes. There was an Olfactory NYC custom fragrance station and mini-makeovers courtesy of Make-Up Pro New York. And last ...
