Aboard the Argia out of Mystic, Connecticut.

Not the Hamptons

While the City has plenty to offer in the summer, even die-hard urbanites need to get away from it all sometimes. For New Yorkers looking to put a little luxe into their weekend travel, we selected eight high-end getaways that are just a stone’s throw (or about a three- or four-hour car ride, max) away from the light pollution and subway delays. From waterfront resorts to luxurious spas and chic country towns, even the most discerning New Yorker can discover the perfect retreat, without resorting, so to speak, to the Hamptons. Read More

Weekend in New England

The art of New England is far from just portraits of Puritans — “banned” art, performance art and political art make up some of the area’s current offerings. In fact, great art cuts a swath through much of the Berkshires Read More

Night Shift: Super Tuesday II in the Fox News Studio

The March 4 Stakes for Hillary

Two things are obvious: If Hillary Clinton can somehow win both Texas and Ohio, she stays; if she loses both states, she’s tuna fish.

A third possibility—a split decision—will present Clinton the justification to push on if she wishes to, but without any clear way to win.

Let’s say Hillary wins Ohio (as the latest Read More

Never Mind the Politics, Here’s Ted Leo!

These are people who grew up in a world where Nirvana was the alpha band, where rock stardom is not anathema, but something to strive for,” said Ted Leo, the mod-punk provocateur and bandleader known for his politically infused music and explosive live shows. Talking from his home in Rhode Island, Mr. Leo is discussing Read More

Chafee chatter

Consider the mere possibility of this at your own risk, but there is some speculation that Senator Lincoln Chafee, who some think is mounting a late seat-saving charge in Rhode Island, might bid in victory bid adieu to the Republican Party – potentially giving the Democrats their 51st seat even if they fall Read More

Can a Shlemiel Play The Prince of Providence?

Even while on trial, Buddy Cianci, the now-incarcerated former mayor of Providence, R.I., was proud of his Tony Soprano–like charisma. “Be careful of the toe that you step on today, because it may be connected to an ass that you have to kiss tomorrow,” a witness recalled Mr. Cianci threatening, during testimony at his 2002 Read More

Ladies v. Dems

Never mind that The Century Club only began admitting women in 1988, some 140 years after it was founded. And never mind that it only took the threat of a Supreme Court decision to get it to open its doors to the fairer sex. Last night, March 29th, the club belonged to a Read More

When You Assume, You Get Bad News

I recently returned from the wilds of western Virginia, where I swore off “media” for a blessed week. So I missed reading about the great celebrations thrown by Islam’s defenders upon the sudden but regrettably not premature deaths of the awful Hussein boys. I can only assume that clerics and sheiks from Saudi Arabia to Read More
