Tales from the Corners

Please visit Men's Traveler . Our first installment on New York is up and running. In this feature, we put the spotlight on Manhattan's Hotel Elysee. Photos by Robert J. Nebel

Now that I know I have time around Christmas to get away, I'm looking to plan my next winter vacation. I have a few suggestions in a feature on all inclusive vacations on Men's Traveler

I have a new interview posted on Men's Traveler with Doc Lawrence. The travel/wine/food lecturer talks about his favorite places in the world.

I just arrived in Little Rock on this rather hot and muggy day. The temperature is about the same as Atlanta. There is a breeze which makes it feel like the back end of an air conditioner unit. My American Eagle flight arrived without hassle into LR's aiport. The kind folks at the Convention and Visitor's Bureau had everything worked out. I was quickly whisked into downtown via limo service. LR is similar to the ATL in its look. Many downtown buildings are boarded up, but the difference here is that the city fathers are on the ground floor with a major renovation. I wish I could say the same for the ATL. OK, we do have some bright spots in ATL's downtown even with the reminder of March's tornado, but LR is off and running. I really think I'm going to enjoy my week here. In other news, please visit my main Men's Traveler site which is now up and running. After this trip, I will definitely have more material. Please visit: http://menstraveler.com
