What happens when an Italian coffee dynasty, a filmmaker, an eccentric, and one of the world’s great chefs dream up a restaurant? Turin’s Condividere is the subject of a new book co-authored by R&K’s Eugenio Signoroni. In the murky past before Roads & Kingdoms, I had very little connection with, or affinity for, fine dining. I was working at Time Magazine on what could safely be considered more pressing topics. But we had a gourmand named Howard Chua-Eoan running the news desk, and he had convinced the bosses to give ample coverage to Ferran Adrià, the gruff and mysterious thinker…

Home » USA Travel » New York » Exploring Fire Island’s Meat Rack—A Famous Spot for Hookups & A Bridge Between The Pines & Cherry Grove Nestled between the quaint communities of Fire Island Pines and Cherry Grove lies a place shrouded in both mystery and allure – the Meat Rack. This dense, untamed forest has become a symbol of liberation and clandestine encounters, drawing visitors from all walks of life.

Paris is filled with famous attractions: the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Versailles, the catacombs, the Pantheon, the Arc de Triomphe, Sacre-Coeur. The list goes on. There are so many amazing sites here that you could spend days (heck, even weeks) just seeing the main, most well-known ones. But there’s more to Paris than the sites that attract thousands upon thousands of visitors each day. While I was living in Paris the past few months, I made it my mission to see some of the more unusual, lesser-known (but equally awesome) attractions (that didn’t come with the aggravating crowds that make…

A once-dismissed discovery in Yellowstone’s geothermal soils is now helping farmers worldwide fight drought, boost yields, and reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers. SEATTLE, U.S.A. — Russell “Rusty” Rodriguez didn’t expect to find a key to climate resilience in the superheated soils of Yellowstone National Park. But in 1999, while studying how plants survive in extreme conditions, he and his colleagues Regina Redman and Joan Henson stumbled upon something that could transform global agriculture. They thought their discovery would be celebrated. Instead, they were met with resistance from many scientists. At the time, Rodriguez was part of the faculty at University…

If you live in New York City long enough, it becomes a familiar story: you make plans with a friend, you get excited, and then—hours before—they cancel. Or ghost. Or show up 45 minutes late like nothing happened. Rinse, repeat. It feels personal. It can feel rude. It may even feel like maybe you’re not as close as you thought. But the truth is, flaking in New York is practically a citywide sport. And it doesn’t always mean what you think it means. So why do New Yorkers flake so much? Here’s a closer look at the culture behind the…

I used to think “home” was a dirty word. Out there — on the road — was where life happened, full of exciting adventures, fascinating people, and endless possibilities. No dreary commutes, 30-minute lunch breaks, mind-numbing meetings, or endless lists of to-dos squeezed into a rushed weekend. Why would anyone want to be home, the place where routine seemed to sap your will to exist? It baffled me. My first trip overseas — a vacation to Costa Rica — made me fall in love with travel. For all the reasons mentioned above, I realized why “vacations” were so romanticized in…

A pilot project explores the challenges of sustainable dining in China. Pride on Our Plates is a finalist for the 2025 Food Planet Prize. SHENZHEN, China — Chen Qiyong spends his workdays sorting out food waste left behind from lavish banquets. In the gleaming kitchen where he works, countless plates piled with uneaten food stream in under the stark white lights. “Only we old folks are willing to do this kind of dirty job. Younger people wouldn’t want to,” says Chen, a 50-something cleaner at the Chinese restaurant in Shenzhen’s YM Gold Olives Harmony International Hotel. Nearby, another colleague chimes in…
