Downtown NYC throwdown: The best of the East and West Villages

3 weeks ago | aluxurytravelblog.com | Cathie Arquilla

The East and West Village of Manhattan have been captured in books and movies and by artists and musicians. The West Village, bordering Greenwich Village, used to be a haven for eccentric artists, but these days, it’s where the trendsetters go with money to burn, seeking sophisticated surprises.

We arrived at Triple Creek Ranch at dusk, just as the snow began to shimmer. White lights buried beneath snow-covered pine boughs glowed. Up ahead, the grand Main Lodge was a welcome sight.

The hugs from my friends and a lovely glass of wine were a homecoming to a place I’d never been.

Katherine’s happiest moment was a deep powder day, making turns down a run at Alta Ski Resort in Utah. Most advanced skiers know the feeling. It’s like your chest is full of monarch butterflies, and your mind is free from thought, although you may be humming a tune. For me, I feel supremely thankful.

Aging13 hours agoI never knew about eye floaters until I woke up with lines and dots in my eyesight. Here's what I learned about my new condition.
