Travel1-Night Stay for Two in a Double-Queen Room at Clarion Inn Pigeon Forge in Tennessee. Combine Up to 2 Nights.

Hotel at a Glance: Clarion Inn Pigeon Forge

It’s easy to be taken aback by the breakfast spread at Clarion Inn Pigeon Forge; each morning, the staff sets out 40 options to help you start your day. Fill up on country-style potatoes or fresh fruit—it’s all on the house.

Comfy queen rooms feature flat-screen TVs and beds with overstuffed blankets and pillows.

Fire pits and a water slide add a fun vibe to the outdoor pool area, where you can relax in a hot tub beneath a sky full of stars.

Have a snack: Cookies, popcorn, and drinks are served from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. during the daily meet and greet.

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee: Family-Friendly Attractions and Outdoor Activities in the Great Smoky Mountains

Though it’s secluded in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge is home to some quirky destinations, including Dollywood, a Titanic museum that looks just like the famed ocean liner from the outside, and an interactive children’s museum housed in an upside-down three-story building.

In Pigeon Forge’s historical town center, a cluster of old-fashioned specialty shops and restaurants forms the Old Mill Square along the Little Pigeon River. Inside the mill, a pair of 4,600-pound granite stones has been grinding grain since the early 1800s. Another nearby attraction is Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, located a few miles down the road in Gatlinburg. Here, exotic stingrays and four-eyed anableps swim with other sea creatures beneath a backlit waterfall. At the shark lagoon, you can stand inside an enclosed glass tunnel to get an up-close view of green eels, sand tiger sharks, and sea turtles.

But the top draw is, of course, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, located roughly 10 miles south of Pigeon Forge. You can hike along more than 800 miles of trails that lead past waterfalls and pioneer-era log cabins tucked deep within the densely forested mountains. Or take a bicycle ride on the 11-mile loop through Cades Cove, a broad valley known for its ample wildlife-viewing opportunities; deer, black bears, wild turkeys, and vacationing college mascots are all known to frequent the open meadows. One of the best places to catch a glowing sunset is Clingmans Dome, the park’s highest point of elevation at 6,600 feet.

Times Square, Manhattan: Flashy Neon Lights and World-Class Culture

Times Square is located at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. The famous address—affectionately known as “the Crossroads of the World”—is home to hypnotizing billboards, giant wraparound news tickers, and the neon lights of Broadway. Beyond the glitz and gimmicks, there are a number of world-class cultural offerings in the area, ranging from museums to Michelin-rated restaurants.

Nearby, the Museum of Modern Art houses a trove of masterpieces including Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night, Claude Monet’s waterlily paintings, and Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans.

White Chocolate: What’s in a Name?

Some of our favorite confections include white chocolate. Read on to discover what sets this ivory ingredient apart from your everyday chocolate.

It’s never been quite right to label white chocolate as “chocolate.” Technically, the confection doesn’t contain any solid parts of the cacao bean—a necessary component of chocolate proper. Yet white chocolate by any other name would still taste as sweet—if not sweeter—than its darker cousins. That’s because, though it lacks the solids that lend chocolate its bitter notes and rich aromas, white chocolate is still made with cocoa butter, along with dulcet blends of milk fats, vanilla flavors, and additional sweeteners.

Yet until 2002, white-chocolate producers sometimes would cut corners by substituting vegetable fats for the cacao essence. Then the FDA mandated that products labeled as “white chocolate” contain at least 20% cocoa butter, pacifying purists and solidifying the color white among the chocolate pantheon. Identified by its ivory shade, high-quality white chocolate often is used as a contrast to darker-chocolate desserts, but it also stands well on its own, whether whipped into a mousse or paired with delicate notes of lavender.

Travel1- or 2-Night Stay for Two at The Herrington Inn & Spa in Geneva, IL

19th-Century Creamery Turned AAA Four Diamond Inn

Typically, cow statues don’t evoke romance. ButUnbridling Beatrix—a colorful statue with scenes from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet painted on it from neck to hoof—is no ordinary cow. As a showpiece from Chicago’s Cows on Parade exhibit, Beatrix enchanted the owners of The Herrington Inn & Spa in Geneva; they’ve since installed the artsy bovine in the lobby. Housed in a former 19th-century riverfront creamery, this elegant boutique hotel has won AAA’s Four Diamond award for the past 20 years. Beatrix embodies the property’s past and present, making it an ideal mascot.

Up the lobby’s grand staircase, the inn’s posh guest rooms contain private fireplaces, marble-accented bathrooms, and balconies overlooking the Fox River. In river premier rooms, heated floors and marble fireplaces keep winter chills at bay. Each night, guests are treated to complimentary fresh cookies and milk.

An expansive wine selection has been curated by the Herrington’s wine experts; their list earned the hotel’s restaurant an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator in 2011. Elsewhere, staff members at the onsite spa administer exfoliating facials, relaxing massages, and energizing body treatments.

Geneva, Illinois: Small-Town Shopping and Art on the Outskirts of Chicagoland

Nestled in the heart of the verdant Fox River Valley, idyllic Geneva lies about 36 miles west of Chicago’s Loop, but its laid-back rural vibe seems a world away from the city. Along the river is the Fox River Trail, a hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing path that connects a string of scenic riverfront towns.

Around the corner from the Herrington, historical buildings and tree-lined streets define downtown Geneva; its 200 specialty shops include artisanal jewelers, chic women’s clothing stores, and boutique eateries. Pop into Graham’s for renowned handcrafted chocolates and ice cream. The 68-foot Fabyan Windmill, built by German immigrants in the 1850s and recently restored with timber from the Netherlands, lies along the river to the south of town. On the first Friday of every month, Geneva’s residents take a self-guided art walk through nine area galleries, which open their doors to serve refreshments, host live performances, and show off their portraits of mustachioed news anchors. Down the street, the Geneva History Center delves into the city’s agricultural past.

TravelStay at Blue Moon Hotel in New York City. Dates Available into June.

Hotel at a Glance: Blue Moon Hotel

A lot of care went into preserving Blue Moon Hotel’s turn-of-the-century charm. Housed in a renovated 19th-century tenement, the boutique hotel flaunts original wood moldings, marble tiles, and light fixtures. Old-timey photographs adorn walls in the lobby and guest rooms. Even new materials complement the building’s vintage character—custom upholstery and antique furniture were handpicked by a local artist to fit the period.

Space to stretch: Guest rooms range from 320 to 750 square feet in size, a rarity in Manhattan.

Eat like a local with a free continental breakfast that includes bagels and spreads from Kossar’s Bialys and pastries from Gertel’s Bake Shop.

The press says: Travel + Leisure writes that “this 22-room brick guesthouse—originally built as a tenement in 1879—perfectly embodies its quirky, eclectic home neighborhood.”

Want a view? Choose a Quintessential or luxury room for a balcony with views of the Lower East Side.

Walk to the subway: Six stations are within a 10-minute walk of the hotel.

Luxe amenities: free WiFi, gym passes to nearby Ludlow Fitness, and a welcome glass of wine

Nearby attraction: The Tenement Museum is right across the street.

Manhattan’s Lower East Side: Chic Boutiques, Restaurant Row, and Contemporary Art Galleries

If you were a German, Irish, Polish, or Jewish immigrant coming to America in pursuit of a better life in the 19th or early 20th century, odds were good that you’d wind up sharing space in an overcrowded tenement building on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The neighborhood—one of the city’s oldest—was a refuge for New York’s newest and poorest residents for generations. Visitors can learn more at the Tenement Museum, located within a five-story brick building that once housed some 7,000 working-class immigrants.

In recent years, the Lower East Side’s identity as a welcome mat for newcomers has shifted as gentrification began to reshape the neighborhood. Pushcarts and rundown storefronts have given way to trendy boutiques along Orchard Street and a chic “restaurant row” on Clinton Street. What’s more, the relocation of the New Museum has attracted a slew of contemporary art galleries. Some of the old mainstays have stuck around, though, including Katz’s Delicatessen and Russ & Daughters, which has been selling premium smoked fish, bagels, and other specialty foods since 1914.
