Sara, sans h. TL;DR: I’m a writer, editor, and content creator with over 20 years experience in publishing, media, and digital platforms. Be it a profile for the New York Times, a city guide for The Infatuation, a hotel review for Condé Nast Traveler, web copy for a hotel brand, or a snappy “about me” page for a Substack, if you’re after storytelling with feels and facts I’m your gal. FOR LONGFORM LOVERS: Rewind 20 years or so, and my own story started after obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in magazine journalism from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications. I did something quite unexpected for someone with such a determination to work for Jane magazine that I printed my resume on a T-shirt and submitted it via a dry cleaning hanger and a bike messenger: I set out on a six-month solo adventure to South East Asia and beyond. Six countries and an empty bank account later, I returned to a pre-Internet bubble media world, where my first job at Bob Guccione Jr.’s indie men’s magazine Gear took me from receptionist to unofficial fashion editor before the magazine folded in 2003 (RIP). Next, at Alloy Media & Marketing, I become proficient in HTML and content management systems while captioning red carpet gowns, interviewing the likes of Ryan Gosling, and playing astrologer to tweens. In 2006, I joined Seventeen.com as Editorial Director where I maintained the most popular teen site on the Web, creating applications like the “Period Planner,” “Meal Maker” and “Guys Talk.” Shortly after, I became deputy Sunday features editor and Executive editor at the New York Post and Page Six Magazine. Maintaining a strong print media presence, I edited pop culture, lifestyle and entertainment stories for the Sunday Pulse section and the quarterly glossy. In the winter of 2013, I popped across the pond to work at Fabulous, a popular weekly magazine that comes out in The Sun on Sunday. Shortly after, I decided to pursue freelance writing full time, focusing on travel and lifestyle. I quickly realized this could be done anywhere and moved to Paris in November 2014 where I stayed for nearly 10 years before returning to the U.S. in early 2024. Et voila! That about brings us up to date. I continue to freelance for a range of reputable media outlets, but also focus on editorial consultations, branded content and editing the longform work of other writers. https://www.saralieberman.com/editing daily 0.75 2026-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/202c07f2-5051-4ba7-9d8b-d52832604b20/91Zh5PgdzhL._UF1000%2C1000_QL80_.jpg Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/35f0a6ae-ecd0-4a30-8a64-7bbf1dc48efa/YSS_HP.png Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/89996c0b-d4c2-478e-97a0-5912b037cd6b/download-2.png Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/4c7abe74-5a33-421d-9915-5787f2222951/download-1.jpg Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/ecc19db5-149e-46d8-8752-dfa9e7c65a2f/download-4.png Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/4a35c257-4dcc-4530-b797-46845e0acc2a/61Dzd3VkpzL.jpg Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/4f580fe1-7269-405d-9b33-a77a393d0512/UTC_bedblog.png Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/8e870d1c-485b-43a9-8b95-5ffd0262dee9/download.png Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/0accb4ae-7627-4648-bb22-3da4b95d1e28/images.png Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/57dec3cf-792d-4a1e-b013-9cb777991745/download-3.png Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/b9cd5f4b-4fbb-4b7b-8e66-0fdebf3644c5/b0f976c864154597a4288d41f565da5d.png Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/648c7c73-af9d-4ec2-ba08-44a99621b1e4/Veracity_AsToldTo_LoBosworth.png Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/bfabbd34-10a8-4700-afeb-8fef441cf90a/TBrand_Electrolux.png Editorial Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614271537930-A6UJZTKO2KLBGO0SHHV9/sara+laughs.jpeg Editorial Services - Let’s talk!

Opened in November 2016 in what was once a metals factory called Casa Cohen, the hotel has a fresh vibe — from zigzag floor tiles to floral wall murals — with shared spaces that include an outdoor patio and pool; a sitting room with a grand piano; and a library stocked with books like “Imperfect Utopia,” by the artist Carlos Betancourt. In February, the hotel began offering in-room spa treatments and plans to open a dedicated spa space and rooftop restaurant later this year. Location In the center of San Miguel de Allende, a colonial-era city recognized by Unesco as a world heritage site and just over an hour’s drive from Guanajuato International Airport. The hotel is within walking distance of the pedestrian plaza El Jardín and various art galleries and restaurants. Image A deluxe double suite at L’Otel.Credit...Edgardo Contreras The Room We checked into our deluxe double room at night and were immediately warmed by the electric fire place “roaring” under the Sony flat-screen TV opposite the two queen-size beds. Brightly patterned pillowcases stood out against the otherwise all cotton-colored room (sheets, floors, chairs — everything) decorated with mod furnishings like wooden armchairs, marble shelves and a linen-covered, lantern light fixture overhead. Artwork, such as striking photographs of the Mexican desert taken by Edgardo Trujillo, gave life to an otherwise dreamy setting. The plump mattress covered in 400-thread count sheets provided one of the best nights sleep I’d had in a while and it was hard to leave the daybed, where we’d wrap ourselves in the cashmere blanket knit in Ixmul, a small town in the Yucatán. It’s available to purchase for $560. The Bathroom Separated from the sleeping area by the TV and the fireplace, there was a marble vanity with a deep square sink, bronze faucet and lighting from two hanging Edison bulbs that flanked an oval mirror. Steps away, in a separate room with a door, the toilet and glassed-in shower got illumination from a skylight. (The room did not have a bathtub but others do.) Between the natural rays and the fresh flowers it felt like an oasis. The misleadingly thin towels made of bamboo fibers (to reduce energy during laundry) were absorbent and all the toiletries from the hotel’s own natural Ablu Botanica line were in large dispensers so we didn’t have to worry about squeezing out any last drops. Plus there was a welcome pot of lip butter, which was ours to keep. Image The pool and deck at L’Otel.Credit...Edgardo Contreras Amenities Beyond the bevy of options in the concept house, the private hotel spaces feel like one’s own living room — if one’s own living room resembled Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” as reimagined by Architectural Digest. Until the dedicated spa space with steam and sauna rooms opens, a range of body massages from Swedish and Thai to Deep Tissue and Watsu are offered in-room or by the solar-heated dipping pool. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property and each night for turndown, housekeeping left a lavender and sage spray on our pillows for what the bottle says would be “a calming, tranquil” sleep, and a mini dessert by the bedside. (Our favorite was the citron meringue tart.) Dining Breakfast is served in the courtyard area on glass tables lining the balcony. Fresh juices (from watermelon to orange) as well as yogurt, cereal and cheeses are available buffet-style from the bar, while made-to-order dishes include a mix of Mexican and American favorites such as oatmeal with toasted pistachios, scrambled eggs topped with mole, and chilaquiles with green or red sauce and melted cheese. Downstairs, we tried Jacinto 1930, where cocktails like the Dragon Breath with tequila, habanero extract and agave honey wowed us from the first sip, while the fried panela cheese starter had us wiping the plate with our warm corn tortillas. Bottom Line A unique accommodation that’s artfully designed as a one-stop shop with offerings and comfort that won’t leave guests wanting for anything. https://www.saralieberman.com/nytloxclub daily 0.75 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614606886169-BOA2F7APJW551ARMWFDH/NYT_Lox.png New York Times - Looking for Nice Jewish Guys with 'Standards'?

A nearly nude woman with a giant bouffant and flower-adorned underwear performed a sultry dance with pink wings, while a contortionist spouted French obscenities. At the bottom of a sweeping grand staircase, a four-piece band performed while couples waltzed.

Not a bad seat as I tend to a crispy piece of wood-fired flatbread drizzled in olive oil pomegranate syrup. Outside, about 20 feet away, a woman floats on a raft in the midday sun and I wonder: Does she know she can hop off, walk a few feet, pick a shrub growing by the shore, and snack on it for lunch? Truth be told, she’d probably be better off getting dressed and joining me inside at the 15-year-old contemporary Levantine restaurant Helena, where Israeli chef Amos Sion highlights sea-foraged fare featuring edible plants such as Crithmum maritimum—better known sea fennel—and Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, or ice lettuce… https://www.saralieberman.com/afar_pubrooms daily 0.75 2021-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/6f591a32-dede-4472-873e-76a7b007e576/AFAR_pubs.png AFAR - Heading to London?

Agnès B.—is as well-versed in painted canvases and gelatin prints as she is in snap-button cardigans. Case in point: Her newly minted contemporary art museum, La Fab, which opened in Paris last month. Located near the Francois-Mitterrand library in the street art–heavy 13th arrondissement, the two-level museum features just a fraction of her 5,000-piece personal art collection, with works ranging from Man Ray to Andy Warhol. The inaugural exhibit, “La Hardiesse” (or “Boldness”), is a reflection of the designer’s passion for courage and eccentricity: “Caravaggio, truly one of the boldest, has always dazzled me,” says Troublé. “I realize now that I am attracted to all forms of boldness in art.” It's an attitude that trickles down into the building itself, too. Designed by French architect Augustin Rosenstiehl, the exterior looks as if it were haphazardly constructed out of white lego blocks, a stark contrast to Paris’s typical Haussmannian façades… https://www.saralieberman.com/cntspirithunters daily 0.75 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614625738544-O6JO27VW8VRNZRL21GRH/CNT_SpiritHunters.png Condé Nast Traveler - The Female 'Spirit Hunters' Behind Last Drop Distillers In a dark, musty warehouse filled with row after row of aging cognac casks, Rebecca Jago, the joint managing director of Last Drop Distillers, is fidgeting with her phone’s flashlight. “Here,” she says, kneeling down and pointing underneath a 25-ton barrel propped up on cinder blocks. “I think it was back there.” I duck down to point my own torch into the darkness, only to see cobwebs and emptiness. But Jago, dressed in a red corduroy skirt and riding boots, sees something else: The spot where a wall once concealed a lonely vat of 1925 grand champagne cognac, which had been hastily hidden away from advancing German troops during World War II. That barrel of cognac was also the reason why Jago had taken me to the warehouse in the first place—Alexis Cabanne, the cellar master of this sixth-generation estate in southwest France’s Charente region, had sold the now rare, and very exclusive, spirit to her… https://www.saralieberman.com/cnt_kenzo daily 0.75 2021-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614625945689-9Y9BI315Y9MBGBURBP3A/CNT_Kenzo.png Condé Nast Traveler - Kenzo Takada's Favorite Places in Paris It should come as no surprise that a fashion designer who once incorporated live elephants into his runway show would release 350 butterflies into a candle-lit tent dotted with cherry blossom trees for his 80th birthday celebration. And yet, on February 28, inside the Pavillon Ledoyen just off the Champs-Elysées, hundreds of sparkly-dressed Parisians stood there, bewildered by the electrifying spectacle unleashed by Kenzo Takada, who spent decades disrupting the fashion world with his eponymous label’s bold patterns and out-there designs. In honor of Takada’s eight-decade milestone, the Tokyo-raised, Paris-based icon recently released a mostly visual, 464-page self-titled tome about his life and work. The book meanders from Takada’s 1965 arrival in Paris by boat at the age of 26, through the ‘70s when he organized a catwalk for the opening of Studio 54 in New York, to his last show in 1999 after which his focus shifted to home decor, fragrance and, quite simply, living la belle vie in Paris… https://www.saralieberman.com/cnt_wanderlust daily 0.75 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614626070211-AAOCV7SEODHCYD2EOJJR/CNT_Wanderlust.png Condé Nast Traveler - Wanderlust Creamery Takes You Around the Globe in a Single Scoop Three years ago, Adrienne Nicole Borlongan didn’t know much about making ice cream. Her favorite flavor? Vanilla. Today, however, the 32 year old is the owner of Wanderlust Creamery, which has three locations in Los Angeles and includes flavors like “Australian Pavlova” and “Japanese Neapolitan," both inspired by her love of globetrotting. “I don’t know why, but I became obsessed with creating my own ice cream, so I splurged about $3,000 on a commercial gelato maker,” says the Angeleno, who studied food science at California State University.The 2014 purchase was “ridiculous,” admits Borlongan—a former bartender, who at the time had been creating cocktail programs for Hyde Hotels—but she started telling people she had plans to open an ice cream business in 2015.

Wearing his trademark "Coolest Monster Ever" shirt, and standing on a stool in his Paris kitchen, the sous chef was ready to prepare lunch. He began by pouring the soy sauce into a stainless steel bowl, then looked up to ask if that was enough: "Encore?" he said, in French, meaning "more." "Oui," said the chef. Then, he poured some more in, followed by the sugar—making sure to get every last crystal out of the ramekin, continually asking: "Encore? Encore?" After being encouraged to do so, he then added a pinch of salt and began whisking the sauce. Next came the carrots, which he dumped in before grabbing a fistful to munch on. Finally, he added the noodles and, eventually, topped it all with fresh coriander. "Fini," he said. Finished.

At around 10:30 a.m., I popped my lavender-scented hand sanitizer in my pocket and headed for my local market in the 12th arrondissement, the Marché d’Aligre. (Produce markets are considered “essential.” Each of the 20 arrondissements has at least one; many have more than that. The Marché d’Aligre is one of the few open every day but Monday.) What I saw blew my mind. People were shopping, shoulder-to-shoulder, as if it were any other Sunday. This didn’t feel like doomsday prep. There was no sort of urgency. The buskers singing Edith Piaf songs were still entertaining shoppers who were feeling Peruvian avocados for ripeness and sniffing clementines from Corsica as if it were any other weekend.

Visit Greece, Italy, or Israel in August — when they generally vacation for the entire month — and you’re bound to hear your fair share of “bonjours” and “au revoirs.” This year, of course, was a bit different. The pandemic grounded planes and enforced complicated quarantines, so locals were encouraged to stay closer to home with the “Cet été, je visite la France” (This summer, I visit France) campaign. Generally, the French reserve domestic travel for school breaks or les ponts, when a national holiday falls at the end or beginning of a week, allowing locals to “make a bridge” with an extended weekend. Where locals go depends on a variety of factors such as season, distance, and cost, but whether they head for the snow-capped mountains, the vineyard-dappled countryside, or the rocky coasts, one thing is for sure: It will be beautiful. France’s varied terrain is nothing short of spectacular, and I’ve had the great fortune of picking my jaw off the ground a variety of times since moving to Paris nearly six years ago. While I spent the first few years visiting some of the major cities such as Strasbourg, Bordeaux, and Lyon, I slowly started venturing further afield to the small towns rarely mentioned in guidebooks.

In the main dining room, lit by votive candles, a group of 15 were celebrating the birthday of YSL’s studio director, while waiters in tan hide aprons circulated with wine bottles and glasses.

Down a quiet street over in the 20th arrondissement, the same group of seven architects shows up for lunch at least once a week at La Vierge, where the menu changes everyday, making a repeat visit all the more appealing. The price tag is equally attractive. Both Les Arlots and La Vierge offer two or three courses for under 25 euros. The prix fixe, founded by the godfather of French cuisine Georges-Auguste Escoffier in the early 1900s, is nothing new. But a different kind of formule, as it’s commonly called, has emerged of late—specifically between the hours of noon and 2 p.m. on weekdays over in the les quartiers gourmands on the Right Bank.

The peripatetic Dutch painter’s last stop was the French village of Auvers-sur-Oise, 20 miles north of Paris, where he lived for just over two months before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on July 29, 1890, at the age of 37. A scenic village surrounded by wheat fields along the banks of the Oise River, Auvers delighted van Gogh, who captured it with zeal, painting almost 70 canvases during his brief time there. On the day he first arrived, in May of 1890, he wrote to his brother Theo that Auvers is “gravely beautiful, it’s the heart of the countryside, distinctive and picturesque.” Though the village has grown in the 125 years since van Gogh’s death, it still has fewer than 7,000 people, and the wheat fields, irises and most of the buildings that he immortalized remain (his painting of the local church hangs in the Musée d’Orsay). https://www.saralieberman.com/wsj_bali daily 0.75 2022-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614701733162-I6XM25Y9XCG7R36S3S7V/WaPo_Bali.png The Wall Street Journal - The Secret to Scoring Luxury for Less in Bali DURING MY FIRST trip to Bali, in 2001, I was a fresh-out-of-college backpacker with a high tolerance for thin walls and humidity. When I arrived in Ubud, the arty jungle town in the center of the island, I discovered I could get a private room with a double bed, an outdoor shower and breakfast for $5 a night at one of the many homestays (homes-cum-hotels). The room I chose had a palm-thatched roof and hole-riddled mosquito netting around the bed. I remember the sounds best of all—the rain pelting the roof with unrelenting force, the roosters cock-a-doodle-dooing just before sunrise. I exulted in the exoticism. During my daily walks through the village, I’d peek into the smattering of upscale hotels, ones with pool bars and manicured pathways, and turn up my nose. “That isn’t the real Bali,” I thought to myself, as smug as only 22-year-olds can be. “Why shell out big bucks on a fake paradise when you can get so much for so little here?” I promised myself that, should I return, I wouldn’t succumb to such extravagance.

Basics In its former life, Castelbrac, a 25-room boutique hotel that opened last summer, was a private mansion owned by an English lord in the late 1800s, then a marine research center and aquarium in the 1930s. After three years of renovation, this sea-facing stone-walled “soul heaven,” as the hotel promotes itself, melds the best of both its past incarnations. Mismatched buildings feature personal touches like artwork from the French caricaturist François de Givré and a wacky foyer with a black lacquered spiral staircase and walls covered in green palm-tree paper. The former aquarium space is now the Aquarium Bar, in hues of blue, with shimmery mosaic columns and portholes. Image Credit...Gilles Trillard Location About an hour’s drive from Brittany’s capital city of Rennes in western France, the hotel is easy to miss from the road since its stone walls blend in with the sea walls of Dinard, a longtime vacation spot for Bretons and an old-time international elite such as Lawrence of Arabia, Jules Verne, Pablo Picasso and more. Private parking is available for a fee. The Room Our basic room had personality, and space, to spare. Striped curtains in orange, olive and eggplant set the color scheme, while the king bed had two night tables — one with an alarm clock/iPod dock, the other with a cordless phone. There were lamps aplenty, including one on the wooden desk that looked like a stapler and proved difficult to turn on and off. Additional contemporary touches like woven bowls from the brand Asiatides added to the quirky modern décor. The room had a flat-screen TV, ample hangers and drawers in the huge closet, a handful of outlets and a full-length mirror by the door. Some higher-level rooms have a balcony or a terrace. The minibar provided free Nespresso coffee and beverages, including local Breizh tea and cola. The Bathroom In typical European style, the toilet was separate — and on the opposite end of the room — from the sink and shower, which overlooked the port and hence provided the “sea view.” The mirror was subtly shaped like a fish, and the doorless shower with frosted glass walls had both hand-held and rain shower heads. Toiletries were by the French tea-based brand Thémaé, and bathrobes, slippers and exfoliation gloves were provided. Image Credit...Gilles Trillard Amenities There’s a small fitness and treatment center with spa services such as an Ayurvedic massage and hydration facial, along with an indoor hammam that opened in July and a long, narrow dipping pool that overlooks the sea. Guests who prefer being on the water, rather than in it, might want to take advantage of the wooden vaporetto-style motorboat that brings guests to St.-Malo, a walled naval city and tourist destination, 10 minutes across Prieuré Bay (free). Dining Room service is available 24/7, but because meals are otherwise served in a bright white, windowed space open to the bay, we opted to eat breakfast there. Convenient yet pricey at €18, the continental buffet offered fresh-squeezed juice, a selection of French pastries, yogurts and cereals, fruit and standard American drip coffee. Dinner and lunch at Le Pourquoi Pas restaurant, in the same space, featured first-rate seafood, while snacks and fancy Champagne cocktails are served all day in the indoor lounge and bar or on the terrace. Bottom Line A stylish, seaside establishment that is not a resort, with both historical and contemporary flair and top-notch service. https://www.saralieberman.com/nyt_checkin_hoain daily 0.75 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614795110090-ERA4UIBACFDA6H57AA45/Screen+Shot+2021-03-03+at+19.11.26.png New York Times - In Vietnam, a Doyenne of Food Expands to Tasteful Lodging Rates Doubles from $120.

Ms. Vy (pronounced “Vee”) runs four of the most popular restaurants in the town, and Maison Vy is her first hotel venture. She opened the 35-room, multilevel property in October 2015, providing a tasteful and contemporary place to sleep in an otherwise Old World city with ancient pagodas and colorful lanterns floating in the Thu Bon River. In May, Maison Vy began offering a complimentary high-tea buffet in the lobby-area restaurant where calming shades of blue are accented against paisley-patterned floor tiles. Elsewhere, black and white checkered floors line an open-air central corridor, while bamboo and wrought-iron light fixtures illuminate the property.

Location Da Nang International Airport is about an hour away, and the hotel is a 10-minute walk from the pedestrian streets of Hoi An’s Old Town. The Room After requesting a room with an outdoor shower, I was brought a mere 10 steps from the lobby to a ground-level deluxe room with a bathing area that seemed ripe for prying eyes because of its proximity to the street. I decided to forgo washing in nature for a third-floor room facing the pool. This one brought the outdoors in with a vase of fresh palm leaves and tropical flora wall art over the queen bed that faced a spacious balcony with two navy blue Adirondack chairs. There was a linen lounge sofa cater-cornered next to the standing closet, which hid a long mirror (a rare Southeast-Asia find) and two large umbrellas. A mini bar offered free water bottles and traditional Vietnamese snacks like dried ginger, peanuts and coconut, and, for a surcharge, soft drinks and beer. The bed had down pillows (another rare Southeast Asia find), while a flat-screen TV sat on a dark-wooden credenza. All rooms have air conditioning and leaf-shaped rattan ceiling fans. The Bathroom Doorless showers are de rigueur in many parts of the country — with mixed results — but this one managed to keep water from the rain shower head within the designated area. The white marble sink and countertop provided ample space for one’s own toiletries, as well as those offered from the Thai-based Nature Touch Group. Image All rooms have air conditioning and leaf- shaped rattan ceiling fans Amenities In addition to the requisite welcome drink of fresh orange juice, there’s free bike usage and two giant daybed swings near the small pool and palm-thatched bar. The hotel also offers a unique “Taste Vietnam Privileges” program, which, depending on the length of one’s stay, provides guests with discounts at Ms. Vy’s other restaurants, Mermaid, Morning Glory, Cargo Club and Vy’s Market, in addition to cooking programs. The hotel’s new complimentary high-tea buffet from 3 to 5 p.m. daily includes sweet and savory snacks like finger banh mi sandwiches and cupcakes. Dining Breakfast, which is included in the room rate, is served in Le Picnic Café, an al fresco spot next to the lobby. The robust spread features classic Vietnamese breakfast food such as pho beef noodle soup, as well as American-style egg dishes, a large variety of fresh breads and pastries (including a perfectly moist pineapple Danish), local fruits and juices. In-room dining offers items like hand-cut fries with sour cream or Vietnamese potato and carrot curry. Bottom Line Good value for those seeking contemporary comforts and amenities alongside local flavors and flair. https://www.saralieberman.com/wapo_como daily 0.75 2021-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614796018948-U59ON0P21GPMYV28MXFY/Screen+Shot+2021-03-03+at+19.21.55.png The Washington Post - The best part of Lake Como is being on it ‘Mom! Do you have the permit?? WHERE IS THE PERMIT???” I yelled above the engine of our custom Cantiere Ernesto Riva motorboat while zooming along Italy’s Lake Como. My heart was beating fast and my hands were shaking on the steering wheel. I had just gotten comfortable in my captain’s perch, and was trying to adjust to the throttle and watch where I was going despite the wind whipping my hair in front of my face. Then, a gust seemed to sweep away the paperwork required for taking out this stunner of a boat, at a whopping $190 an hour. I slowed us down, shifted to neutral and started frantically looking by my feet, in my beach bag, under the seat — careful not to drift too close to any of the million-dollar homes. My mother, meanwhile, looked around the bow, where she’d been otherwise preoccupied trying to distinguish George Clooney’s villa from the others dotting the shore… https://www.saralieberman.com/wapo_israel daily 0.75 2021-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614796518280-E7IL5M51LN2V0MHRJ9U6/WaPoWine2.jpg Washington Post - A Solo Pilgramage to the Napa of Northern Israel I’m propped on a stool on a terrace looking out over arid patches of land laced with rows of green grapevines. A bird chirps enthusiastically nearby and the sun creates shadows on the vine-covered pergola, which is thankfully providing some shade. I squint for a glimpse of the Sea of Galilee, which I know lies beyond these orchards but is blocked from my view by the hills dotted with trees. “Shall we taste some wine?” asks Jonatan Koren, co-founder of Lotem Winery. I’m on a pilgrimage to explore the wild, wild west and upper Galilee region of Israel and its bounty. It’s now Sunday, my third day on the road, and he’s opened up shop just for me, so l’chaim! Strangely, most of the wineries here close on Sunday as opposed to Saturday, when businesses often shut for Shabbat. There are no wine tastings paired with heaping plates of grilled fish wrapped in grape leaves as is the case every other day of the week — and, especially, on the Sabbath, which is more celebration than contemplation in these parts. But while the festivities may be over, the music still plays. In fact, there’s always music on at Lotem, Israel’s largest organic winemaker… https://www.saralieberman.com/wapo_wellness daily 0.75 2021-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614796857940-77NK8OR60LFPIBIRSHV0/WaPo_Wellness.png Washington Post - Where a votre sante meets namaste From the back, she was all Parisian: messy blond hair, cap-sleeved white tee worn under a scooped-back baby-doll dress, chunky platform sandals paired with ankle socks and a powder-blue Versace satchel. But instead of lighting a cigarette , she was carefully contemplating which 100-percent organic, plant-based, gluten-free, unpasteurized, zero-additive snack to order. These days in Paris, wellness and cleansing is the new wine and cheese. Leaving one's hotel or Airbnb dwelling wearing sneakers — whether for a picturesque run along the quai or to withstand hours at the Louvre — is finally a la mode, and vegetarians no longer have to go hungry while their carnivore friends eat the likes of foie gras and tete de veau. Nowhere is this change more evident than at Wild & the Moon, a veggie-pushing haven in the Marais and the setting for the aforementioned scene. Tables are wooden. Lightbulbs descend from the ceiling. Ferns drape over ceramic pots. Reggae plays softly, interrupted only by the occasional rumbling of the blender making the likes of spirulina smoothies…. https://www.saralieberman.com/departuresorient daily 0.75 2021-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614797055040-B41QIBGF90QAMF45PKJI/Departures_Orient.png Departures - From Paris to Reims Aboard the Legendary Orient Express When my alarm went off at 5:55 AM on a Tuesday morning last month—the sky still deep grey, the temperature 31 degrees—my first thought was: will the train have a sleeper car? As my previous rail experiences were of the more upright, local variety—Long Island Railroad, Amtrak, Eurostar—I just wasn’t ready to stop dreaming. As I approached platform B at Paris’s Gare de L’Est to board the infamous Orient Express, frequently portrayed on stage and screen, I realized I wouldn’t have to—though, I also wouldn’t be getting much shuteye. The legendary line that once brought the continent’s jet-setters from France to Constantinople doesn’t contain sleeper cars, but while my destination would be Reims in the Champagne region, I knew the journey itself would remain something of a dreamscape—and a fantasy one at that… https://www.saralieberman.com/silverkrisnyc daily 0.75 2021-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/07a97e56-b087-4a27-9b88-8e88396b1111/Silverkriss_NYCWaterfront.jpg Silverkris -

The train of my dress was a wreck—covered in dirt and gravel dust and wet from the garden's morning dew. It was a new day, but I hadn't slept, so things seemed a bit…backwards. By about 225 years. It's because I had attended the 5th annual Bal de Versailles, a masquerade party thrown by the King's Castle where thousands of costumed partygoers are permitted to roam around the palace like Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, from 11:30pm until the first light of dawn.

No museums to visit. No tours to take. No restaurants to check off a list. On my second-to-last night in town, I joined a French friend at one of those places that screams Paris: small, crowded, menu written on a piece of paper, wine stains left on the table, laughter heard from down the block. I was a part of the laughter and I loved every giggle, despite the fact that I didn't understand 75 percent of what anyone was even so happy about. I just was. A few hours later, while sitting in front of my laptop a bit tipsy, I updated my Facebook status to read: "You guys, I'm moving to Paris. It's been decided. Who wants to rent my apartment?

I can’t believe it,” he continued, sounding a bit in shock, but with a hint of the sarcasm that used to irk me even more than his habit of hanging a torn, decades-old wet towel to dry over our admittedly too-expensive white Anthropologie shower curtain. “I dropped the air conditioner out the window.” https://www.saralieberman.com/offa_israel daily 0.75 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614864308783-V9K45PGXC1T6GM52B2XX/OffA_Hike.png Off Assignment - To the Girls Who Rescued me From a Harrowing Hike in Israel The sign for the Sa’ar Waterfall says that it’s a twenty minute “loop” hike. Without hesitation, I flip-flop down a set of stone steps in my inappropriate-for-hiking sandals and equally inappropriate-for-hiking denim skirt, intent on returning to my car after a quick walkabout. According to my phone, I have 63 minutes until sunset when I start the hike that will bring me, nearly two hours later, to where you found me: flailing my arms on the side of the no-shoulder, winding road outside the town of Majdal Shams in Israel’s Golan Heights. The sky is the color of sand and the sun casts an ethereal glow on the wild terrain. I hear running water, so I cross a wooden bridge and climb over some rocks while shooing away flies. I arrive at a moss-covered creek with slippery looking stepping stones.

The shop had not so much as a sign or a business card to identify it. Next, I saw it on someone’s lap in the metro, its structured shape and textured leather elevating the otherwise scrappy surroundings. Then, I noticed it resting in the basket of a bike, its strap twisted around the rider’s wrist. Two days later, I spied it hanging on the back of a chair at a wine bar, tempting me with its folded front flap in soft suede. What is this handbag? I wondered.

The Looters, one of the few remaining pieces Banksy produced during his blast through Crescent City in 2008, just three years after Hurricane Katrina, depicts a pair of soldiers taking electronics through a trompe l'oeil window. It appeared back in 2013, on the wall of a Marigny warehouse Cummings owns on Elysian Fields Avenue; he then brought it to the New Orleans Craft Guild and began a four-year passion project to remove nine layers of tags and graffiti defacing the artwork… https://www.saralieberman.com/cnt_buckmason daily 0.75 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614878992613-C47I77OLT61A2ZQPHQO8/Screen+Shot+2021-03-04+at+18.21.40.png Condé Nast Traveler - Buck Mason Has Turned a California School Bus Into a Roving Boutique “Everyone’s always on the search for the perfect T-shirt,” says 33-year-old Erik Allen Schnakenberg, co-founder of the California-based menswear line Buck Mason.

Where Else? The Universal Hip Hop Museum breaks ground this month in the birthplace of hip-hop, New York’s Boogie Down Bronx. Touted as the first musum in the world dedicated the genre’s music and culture, it’s coming to life with the help of some industry icons: Chuck D of Public Enemy is Chairman of the Celebrity Board, Ice-T is on the board of directors, and other ambassadors include Fab Five Freddie, Q Tip, Rakim, Nas, and graffiti artists Tats Cru. “The museum will be a solid base of recognition of the past,” Chuck D told Billboard. “But it will also be involved in hip-hop’s [ongoing] definition, protecting it and making it viable for the future.” Fans can get a taste for what to expect from the $80 million project, which just received a $3.7 million grant from New York State, at a preview installation in the Bronx Terminal Market, not far from where the 50,000-square-foot museum is being constructed.

Beyond the sounds of rain, there’s also hammers hammering and saws sawing. But Nicolas Laugero Lasserre, cofounder of the world’s first floating art museum, wants me to come “listen to the noise of the beach.” Dressed in at least four shades of gray—Adidas shoes, jeans, a blazer, and a hoodie sweatshirt emblazoned with the word OBEY—the street art enthusiast brings me down a few steps to a horseshoe-shaped section across from the entrance. Here, architect Gérard Ronzatti has designed a 15-foot-wide ramp onto which water crashes. “Hear that?” he asks, gesturing to the small waves hitting the side of the stainless steel structure docked on the Seine. “It’s poetry.” https://www.saralieberman.com/nytbitesbali daily 0.75 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1614794727998-4OHOXDMXLE94F09PUGBY/NYT_Bites1.png New York Times - Bites: A Bali Restaurant with Laidback Appeal From the outside, Spice by Chris Salans seems out of place in the moss-covered jungle town of Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, Indonesia’s most tourist-trod island. This restaurant, unlike many of its culinary neighbors, has no outdoor seating, thatched bamboo roof or fresh frangipani flowers strewn about. Its glass-walled exterior, with Southwestern-like tiles and a somewhat ostentatious sign, feels a little too polished and proper.

All I could think about was how inappropriately dressed I might be. But when I announced my name and reservation, the host didn’t so much as bat an eye at my leggings and Patagonia fleece. In South Tyrol, Italy, it seems, hiking and fine dining go together like spaghetti and meatballs. In which case, who needs snow in this ski haven that abuts Austria and the Dolomites? Over the course of four days, I walked in every direction and trekked high above sea level, bypassing apple orchards on foot or floating over vineyards on a chairlift. In between all the activity, I ate at creative culinary spots worth the calories I had just burned. Here’s how to recreate the experience for yourself. https://www.saralieberman.com/infatuationparis2021 daily 0.75 2022-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/36eee4af-a967-49a1-8ffb-b98c6151e371/Screen+Shot+2022-06-15+at+17.08.28.png Infatuation_Paris2021 If there’s one thing to know about most good places to eat in Paris, it's that planning and booking are necessary. Pourquoi? Because for one, restaurants are small and tend to have very short windows of operation: 12pm-2:30pm for lunch and 7pm-10:30pm for dinner. But also, unless it’s an all-day brasserie, they generally do one, maybe two seatings, and restaurants don’t really care about making another portion of steak tartare for you if it’s 10 minutes before closing time. You, however, want to eat well—especially if you haven’t been to the city in a while. Thankfully, Paris is ready for you and this guide proves it. Be it an old standby with an impossible-to-reserve reputation or a new Italian wine bar with a secret off-menu pasta, you’re going to want to bookmark—and probably actually book— these restaurants (and a hotel) for your next trip. Mangez bien, friends. https://www.saralieberman.com/wapo_paros daily 0.75 2021-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1627407028212-C00PMTGURIHC6R62DTDO/Screen+Shot+2021-07-27+at+19.23.44.png WaPo_Paros My scrambled eggs on toast arrived at the same time as my rental car. “Don’t worry,” said my server, with a smile. “We’ll keep it warm or bring you a new one.” I sneaked a crispy milk pie from the breakfast buffet on my way to meet the Rental Car Guy in the hotel lobby. I had been told having a car on Paros, a Cycladic Greek island that’s a three-hour fast ferry from Piraeus port in Athens and about 64 square miles, was ideal for getting a feel for its spirit — not to mention seeing some of its dozens of beaches and sampling its many tasty tavernas. So, with the help of the concierge at Parilio Hotel in Naoussa where I was staying, I reserved one for two of my three days there. I had driven solo through other foreign countries before — Israel and France to name two.

Then Germain disappeared into a grove of sycamores and began looking for water. He was embarking on a journey that had, to his knowledge, never been attempted, much less completed: swimming the entire length of the Seine River, all 480 miles of it, from where it begins as little more than a trickling creek just north of Burgundy all the way to the coastal town of Le Havre, in Normandy, where it meets the Atlantic. https://www.saralieberman.com/infatuation_guide2021 daily 0.75 2021-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/5a23f7ce-6964-4ed4-b87a-1b87fc0e86e9/Travel+Guide+Paris+Edited_page-0001.jpg INFATUATION_Guide2021 Paris Travel Guide https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/5630764f-ccd5-40e4-8c71-e56305ac9b7f/Travel+Guide+Paris+Edited_page-0014.jpg INFATUATION_Guide2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/c35420c0-3c17-4c55-8882-63186e373d26/Travel+Guide+Paris+Edited_page-0007.jpg INFATUATION_Guide2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/64c8390c-6075-4dba-aa0c-43e619f88101/Travel+Guide+Paris+Edited_page-0015.jpg INFATUATION_Guide2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/db0e609c-cf2d-4e38-9a28-7a60f46f89c1/Travel+Guide+Paris+Edited_page-0005.jpg INFATUATION_Guide2021 https://www.saralieberman.com/tl_marseille daily 0.75 2022-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/570c914a-1a1c-4c66-b5de-59ba5f356e0e/0001.jpg T&L_Marseille https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/836820ca-4a36-488b-a735-94d19cb64f4c/0002.jpg T&L_Marseille https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/5ed1314a-06b2-4018-9d62-a01411d2a279/0003.jpg T&L_Marseille https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/a49121c5-8969-4d58-87c1-448f7ad23863/0004.jpg T&L_Marseille https://www.saralieberman.com/hemispheres_mauro daily 0.75 2022-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/ecc59e6c-4ded-4ff1-8f88-1576aaf81ae3/HemispheresMauro1024_1.jpg Hemispheres_Mauro https://www.saralieberman.com/cnt_moulinrouge daily 0.75 2022-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/e1f6ae1d-1c08-4cd0-9892-75617f45336b/Screen+Shot+2022-06-15+at+16.47.31.png CNT_MoulinRouge Voulez-vous coucher…at the Moulin Rouge?

They know you're hungry after waiting hours in line to see Mona Lisa's smile, or will be famished before curtain at the Opera Bastille, so they get you with their "prix-fixe" menus and well-located terraces. But meals in Paris (or any city, really) can — and should — be a main attraction, too. There's no need to sacrifice taste or budget for convenience. Here are some of our favorites worth seeking out in the City of Light. https://www.saralieberman.com/tl_solotravel daily 0.75 2022-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/7c27f462-f594-415c-afc7-38ddb8cc41cc/Screen+Shot+2022-07-07+at+09.40.26.png T&L - How Traveling Alone As a Woman Changed My Life I am sitting on a log before a crackling fire and ants are crawling up my right ankle. I wonder if there's a snake beneath the log, but focus on shooing off the ants instead. My unwashed hair blows in the barely-there breeze and I sip a Victoria Bitter that would definitely be better if it weren't lukewarm. I look over to see the others: a French couple, two English blokes, a Dane, a German, a Belgian, an Israeli, and me, the lone American. All strangers until a few days ago. Now, we sleep side by side in canvas sleeping sacks called swags and keep a lookout for each other when popping a squat in a hole in the ground somewhere. It's day three of 10 in the Australian outback, and I'm on a nearly 1,300-mile, four-wheel-drive road trip from Adelaide to Alice Springs. It's also New Year's Eve, so I wonder to myself how long it'll be till we get some sort of party started. But time moves slowly in the bush. Up until now, for so many miles and songs, there was nothing to see but flat, dry land. An occasional emu. Maybe a 'roo. "Look, look!" someone would say. And we'd all turn our heads; the glaring December summer sun depleting our energy with every small shift in neck muscle. Occasionally, we'd pull over for a fully clothed dip in a hole filled with rainwater that we were instructed not to let get in our mouths. If we didn't feel like getting wet, we'd settle for standing in someone else's shadow for a brief bit of respite or drinking warm water made slightly more palatable thanks to a lemon cordial that our guide keeps in his stash. Then, suddenly, as if plunked down without warning like Dorothy's house in Oz, the Iga Warta Aboriginal camp appeared. Here, there are showers and tents and a karaoke machine. In about four hours, we'll count down from 10 alongside members of this community — mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, brothers, and sisters — and we'll usher in 2001 together. "Australia was the land where all men originated," said Terri, the camp leader, as he welcomed us the day before. "Therefore, we are all just ancestors returning home. So, welcome. Welcome home." https://www.saralieberman.com/nyt_julien daily 0.75 2022-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/50309297-23fe-4ef3-8faa-8a1e744ad1ee/Screen+Shot+2022-07-07+at+09.52.56.png NYT - A Young Parisian Chef with a Theatrical Flair https://www.saralieberman.com/wsj_israel daily 0.75 2022-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/1f2b0fe1-bda3-43bd-a620-8ab3f3b08ad1/WSJIsrael.png WSJ_Israel I HAVE THIS THING with hiking. Three years ago, while visiting the Golan Heights in northern Israel, I set out on a solo trek to see a waterfall at sunset and got turned around. I ended up scrambling up the side of the road after dark, flagging down a car for a ride back to where I had parked, 5 miles away. This May, on a trip back to Israel, I was determined to prove to myself that I could go for a wander that didn’t require rescue. I decided to tackle the Negev Desert, which makes up 60% of Israel’s terrain and includes over 745 miles of trails. According to Shahar Shilo, director of the Friendly Negev Desert Tourism Association, not only are those trails well-marked but 90% of the Negev has cell service and the rescue units consist of volunteer ex-combat soldiers. “It’s the safest desert on the planet,” said Mr. Shilo. https://www.saralieberman.com/naturally-cotswolds daily 0.75 2023-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/01df4326-983a-45a7-847a-f7271a96dc02/Screen+Shot+2023-03-08+at+14.37.22.png Naturally_Cotswolds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/ef8b1d58-a988-4d1c-a527-ddcfee078004/Screen+Shot+2023-03-08+at+14.37.46.png Naturally_Cotswolds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/b25b9bd4-6037-469f-a0f3-71c948dceedb/Screen+Shot+2023-03-08+at+14.38.04.png Naturally_Cotswolds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/ad3c4168-a1c9-436d-8e17-b7b3e569dd41/Screen+Shot+2023-03-08+at+14.38.22.png Naturally_Cotswolds https://www.saralieberman.com/afar-orientexpress daily 0.75 2023-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/0883548b-989c-4923-ac33-f1525a0d3690/Screen+Shot+2023-03-08+at+14.51.39.png AFAR_Orient Express It’s just shy of five minutes into the 2022 World Cup semi-finals, France versus Morocco. Château Yquem is being generously poured in crystal glasses. A handsome Italian man in a tuxedo plays Duke Ellington on the piano. And we are cruising about 74 mph on Belmond’s iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express en route to the French Alps. Allez! Most journeys aboard this iconic train (not to be confused with the Orient Express, owned by the French railways in partnership with Accor) do not include such sporty entertainment, let alone televisions. After all, the idea is to travel back in time or to lose track of it entirely. Musicians play Jazz Age tunes while guests board the 12-car, 35-cabin train that dates as far back as 1926, and all are encouraged to wear formal attire to dinner. But this was a special occasion and, as we all well know from Agatha Christie, anything can happen aboard the OE. https://www.saralieberman.com/tl-corsica daily 0.75 2025-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603634d00ee90a7fece2b756/3af7ae48-53c6-494e-914b-88b1c586e422/CorsicaT%26L.jpg T&L_Corisica Known for its glittering coastline, the French island of Corsica has a rugged side, too.
