"An intimate 20-seat Japanese tasting room with an often-changing lineup turns out artfully plated courses like seared wagyu crowned with sea urchin and miso-marinated amberjack." - Tierney Plumb
"In a 20-seat room on Sullivan Street, Soho’s Rei offers two different kaiseki-style menus—one for $120, the other for $200. Both involve tempura, sushi, and your choice of main, but the pricier one tacks on some Kyoto-style dishes, such as Spanish mackerel sashimi with fiddlehead ferns. A la carte dishes are available as well, with options like seared tuna skewers, soy milk miso ramen, and Japanese omelet with grilled eel." - Bryan Kim
"An outdoor gear brand known for its durable and water-resistant backpacks and luggage."
"Jersey City resident Bill Maloney successfully summited Mount Kilimanjaro—Africa’s highest peak—while wearing St. Elias Gore-Tex hiking boots. “You need a full boot with good stability and a good sole for an extended trip like Kilimanjaro, where you’re carrying a heavier pack and you’re not sure what to expect rain-wise—especially if you go near the rainy season to save money like I did,” he says. This model’s all-terrain mid-soles, rubber toe cap, and waterproof Gore-Tex membrane fight against even the toughest conditions while reaching up over the ankle for added protection on long treks."
"If you’re not looking for anything too big, or want to keep the camping confined to your backyard, an affordable starter tent from Kelty will do the trick. At less than $200, this four-person sleeper (which comes in a roomier six-person size for $240), is a great deal without feeling like a budget option. Plus, the 70-inch height means less ducking for most. We suggest taking off the rainfly for dry nights—that mesh top means unobstructed views for stargazing in bed."
