Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we’re looking forward to having a romantic weekend — especially a romantic long weekend, thanks to Presidents’ Day. One of the best (and easiest…and least expensive) ways to turn up the heat this holiday is to just stay put in your own city — but head to…
This post originally appeared on Yahoo! Travel. For those of us who grew up reading the adventures of Eloise, the mischievous little girl who grew up at The Plaza, living in a hotel — with daily maid service and pampering — represents the ultimate fantasy.

Though the suite life can be tempting when hoteling in the globe’s most affluent destinations, what’s feasible for the rich and famous often doesn’t align with what’s feasible for the rest of us.

Sure, Labor Day has come to be synonymous with the beach and end-of-summer parties, but it’s actually a holiday with more industrious beginnings. In 1882, the first Labor Day was held in New York City to create a holiday for workers, thanks to the efforts of the Central Labor Union; the group wanted a day…
As summer comes to a close and Labor Day fast approaches, it can only mean one thing — school is about to be back in session. Of course, degrees and majors are important (kinda, sorta). But when choosing their collegiate home for the next four years (or five or six — no judgement; it’s the…
