The Magazine Guy

by Francis X. Gallagher

Sep 21, 2023

After hosting a spectacular engagement party on Saturday night at my home, I spent the next day dismantling the decorations, lights and extension cords before heading to PHL for a trip to Atlanta. I was reminded on social media that it was just a year ago that I was there hanging out at the Intercontinental Buckhead; this trip I am staying at the St. Regis.

As luck would have it, there were no games scheduled at the Philadelphia sporting complex, so traffic was mild on I-95. I pulled in to park, and we very pleased to see a charging spot on Floor One, Section D right by the terminal entrance. I had plenty of power, but how could I pass up such a prime space?!Fran Gallagher

Security was a breeze, except for about a third of the passengers who have TSA PreCheck have no idea how to use it. I had only about 20 minutes before boarding, and I sat to check a few emails and ask our kind clients for donations for the annual Children’s Crisis Treatment Center Roundup Ball on December 1. Global Traveler is a sponsor, and we hope to raise a great deal from our clients’ donations of air and accommodations at the auction. Details coming soon!

Boarding was jammed, but as I made my way up the line, the gate agent scanned my boarding pass and said, “Hey, you’re the magazine guy from Global Traveler; I love your magazine!” It was a nice way to start a trip. Thank you, Delta, for having smart, well-read employees!

Review: Moxy NYC Chelsea

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: The hotel was designed to blend into the New York City landscape, specifically the Chelsea Flower District on which the property sits. The iconic neon purple Moxy sign, however, beckoned to me, where I was first met with an airy atrium paying homage to the hotel’s location with vibrant plastic flowers adorning a vintage-looking floral stand. It offered the perfect photo opportunity, and I was told the installation changes regularly. While the lobby is more of a small room with check-in desks, it’s seamless, efficient and easy to navigate. The check-in desks alone are unique, hanging by dark pipes from the ceiling, swaying ever so slightly.

Trace New Orleans’ Liquid Lineage at Experiential Sazerac House

In no other city are spirits and cocktails so inextricably linked than in New Orleans. Here you can sip a Vieux Carré, named for the French Quarter, while seated at a stool around the slowly revolving Carousel Bar where it was invented; or marvel at the lengthy hand-shaking required for the silky-smooth emulsification and mile-high airy foam of the Ramos Gin Fizz, an ethereal, heady drink created by Henry Ramos in 1888.
