		<title>Pretty Lady on I-80</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Opened in 1921 by Helen and Ed Power, the Nut Tree was, according to the press, a &#8220;culinary and curio oasis in a desert of endless roadway.&#8221;  With furniture commissioned from Charles Eames and artwork by Wayne Thiebaud the restaurant was light years ahead of its Pacific Standard Time &#8211; every detail from the furniture [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day 8: TANGIER TO CASABLANCA: MI CASA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Check out of Hotel Tangerina after obsessing over the coolest wall clock / calendar I have ever seen.  Head to station to catch express to Casablanca.  Haggle with taxi driver about the fare.  He wants to charge us a 50dh flat fee (illegal) and we want him to use the meter.  He reluctantly agrees and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Bird&#8217;s Cages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love old industrial cage lighting fixtures and fans. Just purchased a whole bunch for our redesign of the legendary Blue Parrot in East Hampton, set to reopen on Memorial Day weekend. Read more about the Parrot&#8217;s fabled history in this sad farewell by Forbes&#8217; James Brady in 2005. After four years, The Blue Parrot [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Blue Parrot, East Hampton</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Blue Parrot restaurant in East Hampton, New York is a storied joint.  The no-frills divey Mexican cantina was described by James Brady in a 2006 article for Forbes: &#8220;It&#8217;s the closest thing we have in East Hampton to a writers&#8217; and media hangout&#8211;comparable to Elaine&#8217;s or the old Bleeck&#8217;s in Manhattan, or Castel&#8217;s and Harry&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mural Mural on the Wall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I was shopping for Christmas gifts this weekend, I realized that Halle, my youngest, didn&#8217;t have a proper copy of Madeline. I loved Madeline as a little girl, when Paris was still &#8211; literally and figuratively &#8211; a world away. So I picked up a copy. Interestingly, the author and illustrator, Ludwig Bemelmans, was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flore Plans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking alot about Paris lately. Café de Flore on the corner of the Boulevard Saint-Germain and the Rue St. Benoit will always be one of the most special places in the world to me. The classic deco interior of all red seating, mahogany and mirrors is original to World War II. Although Jean-Paul [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dome Mention It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quite possibly the most beautiful room in new York City, Café Pierre (or the Rotunda) at The Pierre hotel is a perfectly executed exercise in lavishness. The trompe l&#8217;oeil murals created by American artist Edward Melcarth play backdrop to the most fabulous afternoon tea this side of the Thames. Have some Earl Gray with a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wolseley Mammoth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Speaking of London &#8211; and in the same immaculate design tradition &#8211; is The Wolseley. Brought to you by the superhuman creators of London&#8217;s magical mess halls, Le Caprice, The Ivy, and J Sheeky, the imposingly overscaled yet intimate Wolseley is perhaps the best all-around dining experience I have had. Magnificently situated in the former [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hempel Worship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quite possibly one of the most brilliant placemakers of our time, Anoushka Hempel is my idol. The former British 60&#8242;s actress-turned-hotelier and designer has created four absolutely unparalleled hotels (including my favorite hotel ever &#8211; Blake&#8217;s in South Kensington, London) and a slew of restaurants and retail stores (including Louis Vuitton in Paris and Van [...]]]></description>

		<title>High Fauchon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No this is not a Parisian shoe salon. It&#8217;s Fauchon, a luxury food shop on Paris&#8217; Place de la Madeleine in the 8e arrondissement. Founded in 1886 by Auguste Fauchon, the pâtisserie / boulangerie serves up delicacies that are as much a treat for the eye as for the palate. Yes, those are gold bakery [...]]]></description>
