Even supermodels.

So when we got word that the lovely Adriana Lima was boarding a V1 Jet Seaplane to Long Island for an autograph signing, we were intrigued. V1 Jets are known for flying passengers on the “dead legs,” or the unused trips back to their original departure point. Their newest offering, V1 Jets Seaplane, caters to the Hamptons set - making travel to East Hampton a breeze. You, along with seven passengers, depart from the Seaplane Port at 23rd Street and the F.D.R. Drive. Buckle up and in you’re in for an exhilarating forty-minute commute that lands in East Hampton Airport.

All for a mere $495 each way…

Adriana Lima not included.

And that’s fine when you want a little outdoors.

But sometimes you want big waves with your big sky. Fortunately for you, the nightlife gods behind Cain and GoldBar are also feeling the great outdoors… welcome to The Surf Lodge in Montauk. Located on beautiful Fort Pond, just a half-mile from the beach, The Surf Lodge is a modern, 30-room destination with impeccable style and captivating lake views.

The boutique experience begins the moment you enter The Lobby Lounge (perfect for an ice cold beer after surfing) and continues to The Bar at Surf Lodge (perfect for a Long Island Iced Tea). The Restaurant at The Surf Lodge will be cheffed by none other than Sam Talbot (former Top Chef contestant), which means you can count on excellent, seasonally-driven fare and lots of fresh seafood (it is Montauk after all).

You can also unwind at The Spa, watch an outdoor movie after sunset (just like summer camp!), and even catch a live performance by a local group.

Or you can do nothing at all.

At The Surf Lodge, you’re on vacation.


The Surf Lodge Montauk opens to the public Memorial Day weekend.

We’ve certainly noticed.

That’s why we are inviting you to sign up to RareDaily National, our new, indulgences edition of our popular email newsletter series.

This time, instead of taking you inside Manhattan’s best restaurants and nightlife destinations, we’re navigating across the country (and the globe) to bring you starter jets (weekend in Miami, anyone?), bespoke vacations, and custom colognes.

And that’s just the beginning…

Hey, everyone could use a little luxe.



We’ve been fascinated with Los Angeles for, like, forever. So we hit LAX (the airport, not the club) and rounded up a West Coast team of cool hunters for our newest edition… RareDaily Los Angeles.

Count on us to keep you up on what’s next in fine dining, nightlife, and style on the Left Coast. From the hot spots to see and be seen to the latest in culture, we’ll deliver it to you first on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Whether you’re partying in your second hometown or living large on a weekend trip, we’re inviting you to sign up and start spreading the news.

Welcome to the wild, wild West.

But, getting to the departures gate has never been fun… until now.

Enter Vino Volo, a new, high-end wine bar located in JFK International Airport. The clever name, Italian for “wine flight”, serves great wines by the glass (from $7 to $44). Wine flights are also available and reasonably priced, arriving with a coaster detailing the wines served (perfect for oenophiles).

There are also excellent small plates to complement your selection. Think mac & cheese with truffle oil, salmon rolls, artisanal cheeses, and cured meats.

And, if you’re new to wines, Vino Volo uses a simple matrix (Bright, Rich, Light, and Brooding) to help you decide.

Drink enough glasses and you might be the newest member of the Mile High Club.

1. Best Grape
Moscato Rosato (Available at Eli’s Zabar and other fine grocers)
A grape is a grape is a grape. Unless, of course, it’s a Moscato Rosato grape. Put simply, it has the burst of a juicy lemon and the taste of a ripe lychee. It’s also used in wines. Which brings us to…

2. Best Sparkling Wine
Domaine Chandon
With Spring arriving, palettes tend to shift to white wines and the bubblies. They’re light, they’re refreshing, and in the case of Domaine Chandon, they’re perfect. Plus they’re cheap, unlike…

Hot, humid air. Coronas with huevos rancheros. If you’ve been to Cancun, you know the drill. For your next trip, you’ll need to check in to the hottest new resort, Fiesta Americana Grand’s AQUA. It is to tequila what Cuervo 1800 Añejo is (translate: best in class). We could not imagine a more gorgeous setting to look for Salma Hayek. Nor could we imagine playing Once Upon A Time In Mexico on…

Sony Playstation Portable
Movies, games, music, surfing – what doesn’t the PSP do? Packed in a svelte little package, this handheld wonder is the perfect way to decrease your productivity and kill time commuting.

Every year since 1944, the tiny town of Buñol kicks off a week of revelry with a bang. The tradition goes that on the last Wednesday of August, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., the entire town of 8,000 residents gathers to throw tomatoes at each other. The rules of the game are tomatoes only, and squish before throwing. The dress code is beach wear and the party is smashing.

The tomato battles are appetizers to an upcoming entrée of festivities featuring musical bands, food, and fireworks.

Buñol is located 30 miles west of Valencia and tourist friendly.

See you there, next year!
