I work hard, play hard. I usually spend all of my time working, with the caveat of during takeoff and landing, when there’s no Wi-Fi. I have an audiobook downloaded and a New York Times crossword puzzle: Sometimes your flight gets canceled or you’re sitting on the tarmac for a lot longer than you thought, and I love a great audio book to just lose yourself in, and I like the crossword puzzle because sometimes I want to engage my brain in a way that’s joyful and fun. Also, I read the back-of-the-seat magazine like I’m an editor. Again, you’ve got to study the snacks, what’s available. Where am I going? What are the connections? I use that map as my little dreamscape, where do I want to go next? But otherwise, it’s just head-down work. I get there feeling the work high of: I accomplished something, so now I can be present wherever it is that I’ve landed.
The city with a shockingly great food scene:
I’ll fly to Columbus, Ohio to eat. Most people don’t know this about Columbus but it’s one of the places where a lot of fast-casual restaurants will test out concepts, because it is this really interesting melting pot of people, this intersection of different palates. I’m always interested in the next food thing that’s going to reach us all en masse. And in Ohio, you’re always guaranteed really great ice cream or really great cheese.
Where Christina Tosi stops for candy:
I will say that Wales and Bath, England are probably the most surprising places. They have these old-school candy shops that have the most fascinating flavor combinations, like sour gummies with creamy filling in flavors that make no sense but taste insanely delicious. My favorite part about travel is it’s the ultimate indulgence, so you just give yourself to the indulgence, especially when it comes to eating dessert. Bath and Wales—do not snooze on them!
Her favorite hotel in the world:
The one that blew my mind the most was Le Meridien, Bora Bora. It’s the trip you think about forever, the one you’ve been tagging on the ‘gram forever, until one day you finally take the crazy flight and it looks even cooler in real life. I think there are those destinations that just completely redefine what you think about as luxury. You’re on stilts in the middle of nowhere! Your brain doesn’t know how to comprehend and can’t wrap itself around it, even after multiple great nights’ stay.
The hotel amenities she cares a lot about:
A really luxurious fluffy comforter and the room service menu. Mostly because of French fries—which is my French fries (side of mayonnaise, side of ketchup). Eating that on a fluffy white comforter is the ultimate hotel indulgence for me. That’s when I feel I’ve really made it.
The destination she could travel to a million times:
Italy. My father is from northern Italy, I speak Italian, I love the food. I love everything about the place. I’m Italy’s unofficial chief marketing officer. I studied abroad in Florence, I’ve been there multiple times, then I had a friend get married at the St. Regis Florence and I saw Florence through a brand new lens. It’s an old nunnery that they transformed into a hotel! You’re at the train station and you’ve never had better panini before—at the train station! Everything defies all expectations. It’s delicious. It’s magical. It’s backwards. I love it forever.
