The Grind-Chapter 28

The eve of fight night fell, and Colton was exhibiting extremely peculiar behavior. Not a bad type of peculiar necessarily, but the man just wasn’t his usual self. When I woke up to head for a swim at Temple, the bed was empty on his side and he hadn’t left a note, or word with my parents as to where he disappeared off to. In fact, according to mom, he must’ve left the house before 6 a.m. when she and dad left for their walk. It was a routine they had with the dog back home, and they had been continuing the morning exercise while on their visit to the city.

When I got to my locker at the gym, there was a single Peony taped to the handle, and a square yellow note tied to it’s stem. The easily identified chicken scratch belonged to the missing man in question, so I tore it open jaggedly to gather some answers.

Livvy,

Enjoy your swim, & don’t you dare think of doing anything in the weight room. I told Cal to watch you. You have a noon appointment with that girl who does your hair, & a 10 a.m. massage too. I have some stuff to take care of today but be at home and dressed by 6 tonight. Wear that white dress I like. The one from that party at the Pilot a couple months ago. And don’t eat. I’ll check in later. I LOVE YOU

Colton had been a lot of things the last year, but romantic was a new side. He rendered me speechless from heartbreak, pleasure, and laughter on a fair amount of occasions, but this was unfamiliar lands. Never did I believe such a cynical, wild, tormented soul like his could conjure up the cleverness or the desire to throw together whatever plan he had in the works. But I’d obey the orders, and call mom to steam the crisp white, ankle-length, summer gown he referred to from the office gala event he suffered through as my plus-one, and it’s also the first instance he suckered me into bathroom sex in the family stall. The thin, flesh-hugging stretch of the drapery curved into me, and the low-cut of the back allowed him a subtle peep-show during the owners speech, which had him nearly feverish for a taste of me before the main course was served. I was chatting with Ryan who was seated at our dinner table, when Colton told me I looked a bit peaked and needed a few minutes of good ol’ fresh air. Thoroughly confused, I followed his lead as he took my hand guiding me through the bar area into the public pavilion of the venue. The details are a bit foggy, but I can’t forget the memory of his thirsty tongue licking a bead of summertime sweat from the valley between my breasts.

I concluded on returning to my natural blonde look at the salon, and sang the praises of the on-staff masseuse at SJS Salon on my way out the door. The unwind of my slow laps in the therapy pool, and the exceptional massage had me exuding peaceful relaxation. After the continual sessions’ day & night at the gym, in the cage, in the weight room, at the Pilot, some self-love and spa time was the perfect prescription for a Zen Liv. And I wanted all my tensions free and clear before I met up with Colton for this mysterious evening ahead, so I could fully enjoy the company of my perfectly imperfect companion. Wherever the pathway of our evening led, I knew I’d retire home once it was said and done feeling cherished, and probably horny.

I was puckering to smooth out a plentiful layer of rose-shaded smudge proof lipstick at my lighted vanity when I saw my mother peep around the unlatched door. I looked away from my own reflection to see hers smiling back at me from over my shoulder, as she brushed my hair back curious to discover my earring choice. This overly-feminine, lady-like and sophisticated side of her only child was a glimpse of the daughter she wanted 10 years ago when I was wearing sweats to school every day, and only wore heels for prom or homecoming dances. Mom stayed dressed to the nines every day of the week whether it be a run to the post-office or even a check of the mailbox, so seeing the vision of herself even more so in me now with sleek hair, and a posh taste in stilettos was probably the proudest she had been in a decade.

“Honey, you look excellent! Your little nose healed up just perfectly too, I see.”

Of course, mother. That’s what most important, ay’?

“Yep. It feels fine now. Thanks, mom.” I pursed my mouth, tucking both lips in a stark line and misted a lavish amount of Colton’s favorite perfume onto the exposure of my neck.

“Do you have any ideas what Colton has planned for you? You’re dressed awfully formal.” My mother asked turning her head to survey the final touches of accessory to my ensemble.

“He told me what to wear, and when to be ready to go, so that’s about the most I’m aware of. He’s been pretty shady today. And we both know he’s developed a keen talent for lying lately, seeing as how he managed to get you and daddy here.”

The last text I received from him at 2 o’clock that afternoon was a strange selfie of he and Andrew at the forefront of an impressive Styrofoam cup pyramid they’d apparently built on the display counter at The Grind. Those two had become quite the odd pairing lately, but I was happy Colton jived so well with at least one of my friends. I assumed he just went by the shop for his usual black coffee to-go, and Drew simply asked his assistance on a new merchandise display, which turned into the two of them goofing.

Mom checked her waterproof, step counting watch for the time as she followed be into the bedroom I shared with Colton. “It’s 5 minutes to 6 right now, Livvy. Have you talked to him?”

My heels clacked when transitioning from the carpet, to the tile down the hall. I clicked the unlock button of my cell to place a call to the very man sitting on an arm of the couch in an open stance, with those hefty forearms pushing in his knees. He stood upon hearing the soft tick of my heels step over the rug under the coffee table, and I was able to get a much desired, exploratory look at the very, very surprising dapper two-piece suit he sported. It was an oxford blue, atop a slightly wrinkled button-down shirt that he left casually, and very appealingly gaping open just enough to taunt me with his pecks. He was explicitly, lethal and delicious in the foreign dress of any sort of formal attire. Maybe more so even than those perfectly snug gray sweats I pulled off him on many an ‘afternoon delight’ occasion. That is, assuming I have to have him clothed at all.

“Well hello there, Mr. Ritter. Someone is looking exceptionally handsome tonight, I see. I must say you wear this look well, babe.” I admired, pulling on the lapels of his jacket to situate the wrinkle of his shirt. I tenderly grazed a manicured nail over the freshly shaved goosebumps of his neck, and smiled romantically looking up to him under extended lashes.

“You two enjoy yourselves! Tony and I are going to grab some dinner, and we’ll lock up when we get back. I’m sure it’ll be a late night for you guys,” mom spoke up, still standing behind me undetected. Colton tilted around me to smile appreciatively at her before she turned in pursuit of the spare room where dad was napping.

“Will you ever walk into a room ‘n not instantly have me wantin’ to rip off whatever you wearin’, baby? You look…you look fuckin’ perfect, Liv. I mean that.” He fiddled with the every-day, dainty, gold letter pendant I wore as he spoke, then touched his pointer finger to the heart-shaped opening at the center of my satiny lips.

I wondered reasonably if we’d ever even make it passed the 4 walls of our bedroom seeing the adamant, alluding examinations we were trading in the silence of our family room.

“As long as you promise to replace whatever it is you just have to rip off, then be my guest by all means.” I popped one shoe-covered foot into the air, and boosted up on the other desperate to touch myself to his mouth.

“Get. The hell. Out. That. Door. Now. With ya’ teasin’ little ass.” Colton palmed the front of my dress to clutch over the warmness of my womanly center.

We altered his plan a bit, and decided my car would be the most practical option for transportation considering the height of my designer heels. Once we exited the driveway, I couldn’t help but blast him with pestering questions, and chatting.

“Just sit tight, ‘ight. We ain’t far. You can hold out a few minutes, Livvy. A surprise here ‘n there ain’t gonna kill ya’.”

I unhappily sat tight as advised and waited a drawn out 10-minute car ride that steered us to a parking meter on the street near The Grinds’ entrance on the sidewalk. The white light of the ‘open’ sign that would’ve typically been plugged in the window was powered off, along with the appearance of any other lights, or evidence of business behind the door.

“Colt? What are w-“

“No more questions, okay? Hold on.”

I watched him shove my keys from the ignition inside the pocket lining of his coat, to jog around and assist me from the passenger seat onto the concrete walkway. I smelled something fishy, but I couldn’t place a sure finger on it just yet. With one arm clinging around my average size waist and the other holding my hand, we waited for the street sign to change then scurried along the crosswalk. Colton confirmed the time on his watch just as he gestured me to enter the strange darkness of the generally busy coffee shop.

I couldn’t move much passed the entry mat laying in front of the doorway due to the pitch darkness of the room, so I waited intriguingly for my next instructions. Colton moved in behind me and stepped straight for the location of the light switch he was apparently familiar with. Rather than the hardwired overhead lights of the café igniting with the flipping on of electricity, twinkling, warm garden decorations on green strands taking their place. The dusky glow hanging over our heads bared a table for two waiting empty in the middle of the open floor, and some sort of urbane, bubbly beverage sweating inside a tin bucket of ice. Calm, lazy melodious music struck up, and I finally escaped my confusion to scan for Colton.

“These a’ for you, baby. The best, for the best.”

He offered me a familiar a pink, fluffy bouquet which had become his apparent staple over the last year, and I could smell the odorous fog from gift laying in my arms. Taking a closer look over his face, I noticed he’d groomed up exceptionally precise, and his beard had been combed and trimmed. Colton Ritter may have even been wearing hair product, Ladies and Gentlemen. His matured facial lines, and the barely detectable softening sag around his eyes added a story-telling detail to his aging mug, but I admired every frown line, and ghosting scar.

I rested my arms over his shoulders, dangling the hefty bouquet in my hand behind his back to settle in for a lengthy embrace when a begging, muffled reverberation of hunger grumbled from my empty stomach.

“Well, you did tell me not to eat, silly!” I patted over my angry insides to stifle its interruption.

“I got just the thing to fix ya’ right up. Here. Let’s get you in a seat and I’ll be back.” He took my hand, and I took the seat he offered up, placing the flowers in a waiting vase at the center of his table spread.

Colton lit four small tea-light candles with a zippo frim his pants pocket, and kissed the crown of my freshly washed hair.

“I like the blonde, by the way,” he winked dragging his feet backwards to disappear into the back kitchen.

A few clanging plates and some ruffling feet could be heard as I sat legs crossed, and chin rested on my elbows. Mother Liz always cut my arms with a slap when I would prop my elbows up onto the tables, chastising my etiquette or lack thereof. I repeatedly listed off a careful list of the ‘important dates’ to mark the many milestones of our relationship to assure I hadn’t forgotten some crucial event on this day. There had to be some reason Colton had gone to such odd, starry-eyed measures, and my nosey, sharp-witted journalistic side was beating me to death to get to the real story hidden under wraps.

STOP IT! Let the man have this. Don’t ruin it because you’re a meddlesome pest who can’t just enjoy a surprise.

Just then, a smell so aromatic and reeking of garlic wafted like a puffy cloud of deliciousness into my nose. I inhaled deeply through my nostrils to trace the yummy culprit, and found the man exiting a revolving door that hid the kitchen. He had two enormous, blotchy, grease-stained pizza boxes marked from my very favorite deep-dish joint stacked in one arm, and a covered Dutch oven dish cradled in the left arm. Colt’s tongue peeped like the head of a snake from the corner of his mouth, walking strategically careful so not to drop the hot contents of his clutches.

“So, since you trained so hard, and it nearly killed ya’ cuttin’ out all those carbs, I figured you’d maybe want some’n downright filthy ‘n covered in cheese to hit the spot. Drew tried to tell me I should get some fancy takeout from that place you two are always goin’ to, but I knew this would suit ya’.”

He opened one of the boxes to reveal a cheese deep-dish smothered in sliced, tender black olives.

“You want me to eat the whole thing?” I chuckled with a large goading laugh, and quarter-sized eyes.

“One fa’ you,” he answered sitting himself to open the other cardboard box in his place setting. “’and one fa’ me.” Colton rubbed his hands together anxiously, like a giddy boy about to dive into an ankle-deep mud puddle.

“But you may wanna save a lil’ room for this too, baby.”

I watched as he pulled the sturdy lid from top the black dish, and fluffy, warm steam rolled from the inside. Peeping over the edge in anticipation, I discovered a dark chocolate, gooey treat, topped with whole praline pecans and stringy caramel drizzles.

“Colt, you made that? All by yourself?!” I smiled adoringly when the look of utter pride beamed from his coy face.

It was a turtle dessert my mom taught me to make, and my absolute favorite. Colton had stayed been at my old apartment one night, back before the fight, and said he needed a ‘sugar fix’. The city was covered in powdery snow and muck, with temperatures reaching their lowest degree all winter. Neither of us could stand the thought of leaving the warm solace of my couch, so I whipped up that same dessert for him. We demolished the entire contents straight from the dish, sharing a spoon for vanilla bean ice cream on the side.

“Liz wrote the ingredients down for me, but I remembered pretty well how you made it that night. Don’t be gettin’ all wound up before ya’ even taste it now,” he tittered taking his first bite of pizza.

We ate majority of each cheesy pie, (him asking for a slice of mine) then hysterically cackled for a good half hour after he sampled (and gagged on) a swig of my favorite merlot from a local winery. When our favorite Bob Dylan tune struck up on his iPod, I asked him to dance, and he obliged hugging me tightly with one arm, and gnawing on the last piece of pizza he clutched to in the other. The raw, real-life imperfections of the moment that would’ve had most females curling a lip in disgust, and trouncing far, far away from a man with such qualities as Colton Ritter, only had me needing his presence in my life more so.

“How’d you pull this off Ritter? I must say, I didn’t know you had it in ya’, babe.” I muffled with a full mouth of his well-made chocolate cake as I dabbed the corners of my mouth.

“Just called in a favor to my pal Andrew, no biggie. The bastard only made me pay him 200 bucks to make up for his ‘lost profit.’” Colton used his most sardonic air quotes to underline Andrew’s no doubt tantrum for his role.

“You been workin’ so damn hard, Livvy. And I just wanted to do somethin’ to make you feel special. Help ya’ relax and take the edge off of a lil’ about tomorrow night. ‘N judging by those sexy, heavy little wine eyes you been givin’ me, I’d say I did a fine job.”

The excellence of the entire evening, hand-in-hand with now a present buzz of red wine after so many months, made the air around me feel as if it touched my skin like expensive cashmere. My insides felt as if they were humming with muggy decadence, and no unkind thought weighed on my mind.

“Oh God, stop it!” I covered my face, ashamed of his insinuating light-weight insult.

“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on, Liv. I ain’t just sayin’ shit right now. I mean that. You’re perfect now, jus’ like this. And ya’ perfect on the couch with your face painted in one of those goopy masks you put on before you check your work email at night.” He leaned over the round table, mazing through the empty boxes, and melting candle wax staining the tablecloth to encase my fingers. Any fool could see there was nothing but earnest passion in his eyes, and a blatantly truthful, sureness in his voice.

“I love you. And don’t sell yourself so short! You are the perfect one. Even with all those demons, and whatever else is hiding in that head of yours.” I wanted to caress and pet his always warm cheek, but the distance between us caused me to settle for a tight squeeze of his hand, and a kiss to his scarred fingers.

“A perfect man wouldn’ta let somebody like you get away, baby.”

��Stop with that! We’re here now. Together. And we’re happy. Plus, there are more important things going on right now we should be worryin’ about.”

I knew I could back out of my fight right now, even the night before, and Colton would support my decision without hesitation, and anyone else who didn’t, would suffer at the hand of his consequence. The reality of what I knew I’d be doing only a few short hours from now, was a frightening one. But, one that I had agreed to for myself at the hands of no ones’ force. I wanted to make Colton proud of me for something more than just having my nose shoved in front of a computer screen 10+ hours a day. I had to prove to him, the world, my parents, and mainly myself that I was capable of greatness. That I had the potential to step out in faith, and achieve something like this with some courage like the old Liv.

“We’ve done everything in the gym we possibly coulda, baby. You’ve done everything. You need t’ believe in yourself like you were always tellin’ me. I’ll be there standin’ in that corner for you, I promise. And if ever you wanna cut it, just say the world ‘n we’ll walk outta there first round. You can do this, 2-1. Clear eyes, remember?”

“Thank you, Colton. For being the man that you are, and sticking with me through this even though we both know you hated the idea. And for all this God, it’s incredible, really. I’ve desperately needed some alone time with my guy.” I scooted to the front ledge of my chair, resting on the table to wink suggestively at the tantalizing specimen opposite my gazes.

“Calm ya’self, you dirty girl. I know wha’s goin’ on up in the head o’ yours. I got one more place I need to take you. Then, I can assure you…. I can really fuckin’ assure you, that I’m gonna get real good and close to every piece of your creamy skin under that dress.”

New York City’s Changing Skyline

The city of New York is known around the globe for its impressive architecture. In the spring of 2017, there were approximately 300 buildings under construction and a further 363 were planned, and it is estimated that in total, the city is home to more than 6,200 high rises and over 900 skyscrapers. New York’s tallest building is currently One World Trade Center, which was completed in 2014 with a total height of 1,774 feet. However, the city’s skyline is always evolving and it is expected that by 2021 new builds will transform the city’s impressive urban landscape. Here’s an overview of the buildings that will give New York a new appearance in the near future

New High Rises in New York City

New York’s skyline makeover will be mostly brought about by the addition of six super-tall structures (defined as those over 1,000 feet tall). Many of them are already under construction and are expected to be delivered between 2018 and 2019.

30 Hudson Yards

This 2.6 million square feet and 90-storey high office development will be completed in 2019 and will be the city’s second tallest building after One World Trade Center. The building is part of an extensive office construction plan for the Hudson Yards area, where 4 high-rises will be built in the coming years. The super-tower will feature an open-air observation deck, public gardens, and will be home to many Fortune 500 companies.

The Spiral

Along with the Hudson Yards project, the Spiral building will play a key role in the revitalisation of Manhattan’s West Side. The high rise will feature sloped landscaped terraces and vertical gardens that will hug the building in a zigzag pattern. This building will add 2.85 million square feet of Class A office space to the city’s inventory, as well as nearly 30,000 square feet of prime retail space.

111 West 57th Street

This architectural wonder fits criteria for both super-tall and super-slender. Once completed, the skyscraper will rise more than 1,400 feet above the ground, offering breathtaking 360-degree views over the city. Its most distinguishing element is a tapered effect over its western facade and a modern take on Art Deco style. The building is mostly intended for retail and residential use, with office space available on the 5th floor.

Central Park Tower

Central Park Tower will be located on 57th Street, where other luxury high rises are currently being built. The completion date is set for 2019. At 1,550 feet, this will be the nation’s second tallest building, only below the Willis Tower in Chicago. This development will be so large that everyone will be able to spot it from every borough in the city.

9 Dekalb Avenue

With its location in Brooklyn and a total height of 1,066 feet, 9 Dekalb will be the tallest building in New York building outside of Manhattan. This is a mixed-used development featuring 73 floors, and the outer facade will be clad in bronze, marble, and glass. With such a glitzy appearance, this high rise will definitely become one of the city’s top landmarks.

Other Additions That Will Transform the City’s Skyline

Queens Library at Hunter’s Point

This building is part of an extensive urban regeneration project. The library’s location by East River will make it visible from other parts of the city and provide stunning views over downtown Manhattan. The facade will be clad in aluminium panels and will feature curved cut-outs on the front, and the interior will offer open space as well as a rooftop reading garden. The expected completion date is set for summer 2017.

Via 57 West

This 34-storey residential development will soon become one of the city’s most easily recognisable buildings due to its unique sloped pyramidal shape and futuristic-looking design. Via 57 West has already won several design awards, including the International High Rise Award and the CTBUH Tall Building Award in the category of Best Tall Building in the Americas.

56 Leonard Street

This 821-feet tall luxury condo building is located in Tribeca, between Broadway and Hudson River. The super-slender building is sometimes called the Jenga Tower due to its high-tech architectural style, which certainly stands out in Manhattan’s dense maze of buildings.

The 9 Best Neighborhoods to Stay in Rome

Posted: 9/30/2019 | September 30th, 2019

Rome is a city that sparks a thousand mental images. From ancient structures like the Colosseum or the Pantheon, to the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, to the Vatican — not to mention tons of pasta and other delicious food — it has it all.

But planning a trip to Rome can sometimes be a pain.

Where should you stay? What are the best neighborhoods?

Rome is huge. It has 15 municipi (administrative areas), with the city center municipio alone divided into 22 smaller districts.

Whether you’re after a more historical area or something more local-feeling, or whether you are keen to experience great Italian food or Roman nightlife, there is a neighborhood in this amazing city to suit you.

To help you figure that out, here are some of my extensive thoughts on the best places to stay during your time in Rome based on my years of experience visiting there:

1. Trastevere

Trastevere is filled with narrow, cobblestone alleyways that run past buildings decorated with tangled ivy and vines. It makes you feel like you’re back in a medieval city.

For many centuries, Trastevere was a working-class district, but in recent years, it’s become a bohemian hotspot for foodies and tourists wanting to see beyond Rome’s big-name attractions. At night, you can mingle in the Piazza di Santa Maria with crowds of young locals and students enjoying the nightlife, eating, and drinking. And if you climb the nearby steps of Gianicolo Hill, you’ll reach a spot with views across Rome, including the Pantheon and the Capitoline Hills.

Best places to stay in Trastevere

BUDGET: Hostel Trastevere – This hostel close to grocery stores and public transit has a great outdoor terrace common area with shade sails to keep you cooler in summer, and a cheap buffet breakfast, as well as fast Wi-Fi and air-conditioning. Rooms sleep a maximum of five people. The beds are comfortable too.

MID-RANGE: Trastevere’s Friends – This B&B is quiet, with spacious double rooms, making it especially popular with couples. The rooms here are light and bright, and most include ample wardrobe space for unpacking. The place is clean, and the owners and staff are extra-friendly.

LUXURY: Trastevere Royal Suite Trilussa – This luxury hotel has views over the Tiber River and is central to all the amazing restaurants and cafés of Trastevere. Each room is uniquely decorated with paintings or ornate mirrors. Breakfast is included in your room price.

2. Monti

The very oldest part of Rome is Monti, which is full of winding cobblestone streets and antique stores. Local residents are often creative types, and they’ve made sure there are plenty of quirky cafés, intimate bars, and independent businesses for you to explore. You can wander the streets past endless shades of pastel-colored walls, and browse the clothes and jewelry at the Mercato Monti vintage market.

Best places to stay in Monti

BUDGET: Palladini Hostel Rome – This might be a hostel, but it hasn’t skimped on the décor, with stylish black-, red-, and white-themed communal areas and artwork and chandeliers in the private rooms. It’s just 200m from Termini station so it’s really easy to access any public transport option you might want.

BUDGET: Hostel Alessandro Downtown – Cleanliness, a friendly staff, and a social atmosphere make this a good choice. It’s a great place to stay if you want to meet other travelers, either in the hostel itself or the bar, which is popular with many backpackers exploring Rome.

MID-RANGE: Apollo Rooms Colosseo – Clean and new, with friendly owners and a gelato bar at the back of the building, this property has a vibe that makes up for the fairly small (but tastefully decorated) rooms. LUXURY: Monti Palace Hotel – This stylish hotel includes a wholesome buffet breakfast and a rooftop bar with gorgeous views of the city. The rooms are spacious, sleek, and well lit.

3. Prati

Prati is close to St Peter’s Square and the Vatican — it shares a border with the northern end of the Vatican State — and includes Via Cola di Rienzo, which is one of the most well-known shopping streets in the city for high-end brands. Prati is also an area where you’re less likely to find hordes of tourists, and it’s great for imagining what life would be like if you were a wealthy Roman.

Best places to stay in Prati

BUDGET: Arts & Rooms – This is a great budget option, with fast Wi-Fi and a communal kitchen filled with snacks (guests get use of the coffee machine too). It’s elegant, with simple but tasteful furnishings.

MID-RANGE: Luxury on the River – Despite its name, this place comes at a mid-range price and is located in a historic building overlooking the river. It has helpful staff and a varied breakfast, plus the rooms are quite large. There’s real Italian flare to the décor and a cozy lounge and library.

LUXURY: Hotel NH Collection Roma Giustiniano – This four-star hotel with spacious rooms is a great value. All its rooms have gorgeous parquet floors, and many have balconies with great views. There’s also a small gym and a restaurant on-site.

4. Ostiense

Ostiense is a half-hour bus ride south of the center of Rome, but it’s a great neighborhood for a less touristy experience. Formerly an industrial area, it’s had a hipster makeover and is famous for its street art, food, and nightlife. On Via Giuseppe Libetta, you’ll find many of Rome’s best nightclubs and music venues. There’s even history here: the ancient Pyramid of Cestius, made of white marble blocks.

Best places to stay in Ostiense

BUDGET: Verrazzano 37 Guest House – This small place offers four comfortable rooms with modern furniture, a shared kitchen, and free Wi-Fi and is right near a 24-hour grocery store. It has nice double rooms, making it especially popular with couples on a budget.

MID-RANGE: Gasometer Urban Suites – Created out of a former factory in 2018, this spot features stylish and spacious rooms, and you can access a shared rooftop terrace with great views (and also a gym).

LUXURY: Sheraton Roma Hotel – This luxury hotel and conference center has a fabulous pool area and is great for a summer stay, especially with kids. It’s less Italian in style than other accommodations in Rome but makes up for it with spacious, quiet rooms and excellent breakfasts. There’s a lot of garden greenery and even a small wooded area surrounding the hotel, so it feels like you’re much further from central Rome than you actually are.

5. Testaccio

Testaccio, a 20-minute walk south of the Colosseum, is an edgier district, a former slaughterhouse area now adored by foodies. It’s not necessarily full of Instagram-worthy architecture, but it’s really got heart.

There are a bunch of art museums and other sightseeing spots in Testaccio, but the best reason to stay here is the food, from the Testaccio Market with its gourmet street food stalls to spots like Da Remo, which many people claim has the best traditional pizza in Rome.

Best places to stay in Testaccio

BUDGET: I-sleep B&B – This budget accommodation is in a really convenient location, but it’s still reasonably quiet. A light breakfast is included with your room rate. Most rooms are decorated in a modern black-and-white style and are clean and comfortable.

MID-RANGE: 149 Guesthouse – Really helpful staff make a stay here great, and the espresso machines and jacuzzis are also a bonus. It’s in a classy building; rooms with balconies look over the leafy trees along the street. If you’re there on a Sunday, make sure you check out the outdoor Porta Portese flea market nearby.

LUXURY: Seven Suites – You’ll get very good value for these spacious, modern rooms and a good breakfast in the café at the front. It’s recently renovated, with classy bathrooms and really comfortable memory-foam beds. It’s a small property with just six rooms, so it’s quiet.

6. Pigneto

Less than a 15-minute tram ride from the center of Rome, Pigneto is a colorful neighborhood full of interesting graffiti, street art, and murals that’s had a hipster makeover in recent years. Some people call it the Brooklyn of Rome, and I think that’s a fair description! It’s filling up with trendy bars and restaurants and often gets labeled Bohemian, although it’s a real mix of small, older homes and new apartment buildings. It’s also home to lots of small cocktail bars and cafés and other great spots for some people-watching.

Best places to stay in Pigneto

BUDGET: Relais Villa Fiorelli – This is located in a quiet spot on the Piazza di Villa Fiorelli. It has simple, modern rooms with free Wi-Fi, some with balconies looking over the lush garden. Room rates include breakfast served either in your room or outside in the garden. The recent addition of the new Line C Lodi metro station makes it even easier to get into central Rome from here.

MID-RANGE: Eurostars Roma Aeterna – Right on the Piazza del Pigneto, this hotel is in a former pharmaceutical factory. Inside, rooms are decorated with minimalist but stylish décor and photography. It offers a great breakfast, and there’s a well-equipped free gym too.

LUXURY: Hotel Latinum – This boutique hotel of just twelve rooms has a special glass floor so you can see what lies under it, thanks to some archaeological excavation — a great way to remind you of the history of Rome even when you’re back in the hotel. It’s an elegant spot with beautiful wooden furniture, and the rooftop terrace is a good place to relax.

7. Tridente

The Tridente area has plenty of tourists coming to see the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps, but there’s also amazing shopping and fancy hotels and restaurants. Strolling back to your accommodation in Tridente, you’ll pass historic sites, old architecture, and endless options for dining.

Staying here means you might not get a particularly local feel for what it’s like to live in Rome, but you’ll be near many of the places you’ll want to visit, and you’ll get a taste for where wealthy Romans live.

Best places to stay in Tridente

BUDGET: Crispi Relax – Less than a five-minute walk from the Spanish Steps, this guesthouse is great value for such a central location, with clean, air-conditioned rooms, though they’re relatively small (not surprising for the area). Some rooms have balconies for some extra space, and you can take in the views of what’s happening right there in the center of the city.

MID-RANGE: Condotti Hotel – Also just around the corner from the Spanish Steps, Hotel Condotti is a small and elegant boutique hotel with an entrance off a quiet street, beautiful décor, and lots of added extras. If you’re traveling with kids, you can stay in the adjacent building in suites made of two connecting double bedrooms.

LUXURY: Hotel d’Inghilterra Roma – This hotel close to the Spanish Steps and the Via del Corso shopping street, located in a beautiful 16th-century building, offers affordable luxury compared to some really pricey places in this part of town. The staff are very attentive, and the hotel restaurant, Café Romano, gets rave reviews. Each of its 88 rooms is decorated with its own style and charm.

8. Parioli

Parioli is a largely residential, quieter part of Rome, but is less than a half-hour ride by metro or bus into the center. It’s full of gardens and parks, and its southern boundary runs along the Villa Borghese gardens. It’s typically home to some affluent locals with classy-looking apartment buildings, and if you’re planning a longer stay, it’s a great base that offers a taste of semi-suburban life in Rome.

Best places to stay in Parioli

BUDGET: Hotel Delle Muse – This family-run hotel offers free Wi-Fi and an on-site restaurant. There’s a large covered terrace garden where you can eat lunch and dinner. The staff are really helpful, and there’s a bus stop nearby. Rooms are fairly small and a little dated, but it’s a clean and comfortable place at a good price.

MID-RANGE: Parioli Place B&B – Friendly staff, great breakfast, and modern black-and-white interiors make this a solid mid-range choice. The roof garden is a lovely spot, and you can opt to eat breakfast up there, too.

LUXURY: Hotel Lord Byron – This is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World yet is actually great value. The marble bathrooms are decadent, and the mahogany and rosewood furniture lends a completely charming art deco atmosphere — you’ll feel a little like you’re sleeping in a gallery. The hotel also has a lounge bar and the award-winning restaurant Sapori del Lord Byron.

9. San Lorenzo

If you want to stay somewhere with a student vibe, then San Lorenzo is it, near the Sapienza University and walking distance east of the city center. The neighborhood was bombed heavily in World War II and was never rebuilt quite as well as other areas, but what San Lorenzo lacks in prettiness it makes up for with fun.

There are lots of shopping options both for new Italian fashion and vintage clothes, great cheap pizza, and cool bars. Head to the Via dei Volsci and Via dei Sabelli to see where the young people of Rome enjoy a night out.

Best places to stay in San Lorenzo

BUDGET: The Yellow – Situated on the university side of the central Termini railway station, this hostel is popular with backpackers looking for a party atmosphere, and it has local live music in its bar. There are other added extras, like yoga sessions on the rooftop or on-site Italian cooking and pasta-making classes. The staff are really friendly and responsive, and the place often ranks highly in votes on Rome’s best hostel stay.

BUDGET: Alessandro Palace Hostel – This hostel offers lots of extras, like a rooftop bar with shady spaces to sit and relax, a gym, and two restaurants. The dorm rooms are quite roomy.

MID-RANGE: Hotel Laurentia – Right in the liveliest part of San Lorenzo, this hotel has fine rooms and a delicious breakfast. The rooms (ranging from singles to quadruples) are spacious for the price, with a simple but elegant look. The dining area is quite different, with large brick arches dividing it into somewhat separate sections for some privacy.

LUXURY: Hotel Royal Court – A very good value, this four-star hotel on the Termini Station side of San Lorenzo has an art nouveau look, with wood flooring and period furniture, and many of the rooms have really unique furnishings. The rooms and bathrooms are large; the quadruple rooms are a great option for family trips.

***

Rome is a big city with lots to see and experience, so figuring out which neighborhood will work best for you is partly about deciding whether you want to indulge in regular restaurant meals or nightlife, or be near plenty of the historical sights or try some more local neighborhoods for a “when in Rome” kind of experience.

If you have a longer stay, you can always consider starting in one of the inner city neighborhoods while you see the most famous sights, then having a few days a little further out to enjoy shopping and dining among locals.

Whatever you choose, Rome is a simply amazing city, and I’m sure you’ll be impressed with it!

An admirable trot spherical many of Sicily’s finest hits, among them a number of the Mediterranean’s greatest websites. There are quite some, so the tempo is severe however profitable.

The excursion works excellent for learners to Sicily, the ones looking an introduction to its lengthy, entrancing and distinguished past. Quartering the island – the trip covers an awesome deal of territory – additionally favors appreciation of fine and olive-rich landscapes and a fantastic coast. No heading off a positive apathy in a few urban regions, mind. But that, too, is Sicily. A 10-day tour starting in Catania and Syracuse on the east coast, this is an honest old romp. As referred to, magisterial bits – historic and geographical – are from time to time obscured by city forget about, no longer least in second prevent-over, Palermo. But Sicilian recollections are powerful, enshrined in Norman-Byzantine churches, vineyards and olive groves – and Hellenic temples of startling perfection at Segesta, Selinunte or, supremely, the Valley of Temples at Agrigento. In a series of stand-outs, the mosaics of the Romana del Casale villa – enormous and vibrant with lifestyles and movement – additionally have their location. As, back at the east coast, does Taormina and its Greco-Roman theater. Tour ends with an experience up Etna which I had to omit, but which should have been magnificent. Overall, the 4 tour resorts (all 4-superstar) got higher because of the trip advanced. And that they had started off pretty nicely, in Catania. The Una Hotel Palace turned into a bang vital, big city spot, with a graceful of efficiency and roof-pinnacle eating place affording views to Etna. In Palermo, the recent uniting and relooking of two venerable homes had delivered forth the Hotel Palazzo Sitano in a kind of black-and-white Mafia sublime. Onward to the pick-of-the-bunch Baia-di-Ulisse, a rambling, hacienda-style operation, with terraced gardens unraveling to the beach at Agrigento. Finally, at Giardini Naxos beneath Taormina, the grounds of the San Alpha Grand inn have been additionally as a substitute swell: pool, classical statues, bougainvillea. Within, the area becomes slightly displaying its age, now not least via charging for Wifi.

I joined the tour past due – and left it early – so did not advantage from Titan’s home select-up coverage. Those who did found it located it a boon. Once in Sicily, the train turned into amply at ease and dealt with verve by way of driver Vito. Though I’m not positive the coverage of converting seats every day is a long-time period winner.

Value for Money eight/10

At £1299pp all in – together with front to all websites – the excursion seems in no way overpriced. As stated, I’d be tempted to feature £a hundred, make investments it in the dinners, and perhaps provide wine, too. But that is possibly why I don’t run an excursion organization, and Titan does.

Essentials

Sicily: Jewel of the Mediterranean 10-day tour, from £1,299pp, which include domestic choose-up, flights, 4-star lodging, all breakfasts, seven dinners, tours and publications (0808 274 6966; titantravel.Co.United kingdom).

A Long Tour in Cairo and Alexandria

Alexandria:

Alexandria – the second biggest metropolis in Egypt and the popular Mediterranean motel. It is a type of symbiosis of historic records and cutting-edge beach lodge. Style and lifestyle of Alexandria are very specific from the rest of u . S .: they’re tons in the direction of Europe. The seemingly gain of recreation right here – the opportunity to combine a wealthy “revel in” with a seaside vacation.

Entertainment and attractions of Alexandria

Alexandria – is not most effective a beach lodge but additionally a cutting-edge city. There are many cafes, eating places, casinos, and nightclubs. This rating level is an awful lot lower than in other motels in Egypt. A Luxurious Long Tour in Cairo and Alexandria is one of the fine things you may ever reveal in on your profession.

Cairo:

The capital of Cairo – the most important town in Africa and one of the most important in the international! The territory is twice decreased than Moscow, is domestic to extra than 20 million people.

In Cairo and its environs, in which the metropolis starts directly behind the desert plateau of the pyramids, the story regarded to “come to the floor.” Including the Biblical story. Even the tombs and mummies of the Cairo Museum, paying homage to Old Testament instances – this is the construction of Egyptian cities, the ruins of which can be these days the most ambitious within the global, overwork humans of Israel, this is whilst considered one of “the most” of the Pharaohs became an excellent exodus of Israel to the Promised Land.

If you revel in flow fishing, then it’s pretty sure you also enjoy looking for glide fishing tackle. Here’s some information on a glide rod I’ve lately acquired: the Norwalk Titan 2000.

Key Features of the Titan 2000 Float Rod

The Titan Norwalk 2000 rod is an high-quality all-around piece of fishing address that’s eminently suited for plenty sorts of fishing. If you’re fortunate sufficient to still fish in herbal lakes and rivers, realize that the flexible Titan 2000 can be used as a stick-waft type of rod in addition to a conventional carp rod. The motion of the rod fits it preferably for anglers who use lightweight strains and small hooks. That is not to mention, though, that this rod won’t carry out admirably with heavier weight traces of.16 and up. Another characteristic I liked approximately this nicely-designed piece of fishing tackle is that it has the twist grip reel seat that is so famous with fishermen because it does a terrific process keeping the reel in an everlasting, strong role.

More About the Normark Titan 2000

One function I specifically like approximately this rod is the tip phase. It has a totally nice diameter, so it permits me to fish light, something I regularly like to do. I’ve additionally observed that that is a one-piece, in preference to a spliced tip, giving the Titan 2000 an exceptionally suited modern and sluggish bend, that is an important characteristic for stalking larger fish. There are none of the flat spots that you usually discover in rods with spliced recommendations. For anglers who experience using the lighter address for the sport and mission of it, especially when you hook a massive, feisty carp, recognize that this rod is perfectly suited to this fashion of fishing, even when in comparison to extra high-priced models.

Most human beings tend no longer to tour lots because they suppose that it’s miles too high-priced but the correct information is that saving cash when you travel is pretty simple.

A few decades ago, tourists had to locate accommodation within the phone book, ebook flights at the airport, and plan their itinerary weeks, if now not months in advance. Thankfully, those days are lengthy gone with modern day sharing economic system offering travelers extra options- and opposition denotes savings. And whilst many sharing economic system websites had been in life for years, their growth remains phenomenal. For example, Airbnb boasted barely over half 1,000,000 listings two years in the past, and now it has over one million. Vacationers can, therefore, put the sharing financial system to paintings for pretty much whatever- from in which you sleep to meals, guided excursions, transportation and so on. Some of the most famous websites include Airbnb, EatWith, BlaBlaCar, and Guided by means of a Local.

2. Try Budget Airlines

While gas prices may be at their cheapest in years, this does not translate to ordinary airways decreasing their fares.

Thankfully, there are a bunch of price range airlines along with Air Asia, Wow, and Norwegian Air that fly cheaply from Asia and Europe to the U.S. They do the identical issue as normal airways, flying you between continents, but and not using frills and at lower prices. For example, Norwegian Air operates flights from each American coasts to mainland Europe for as low as $150 for a one-way flight.

Take advantage of destinations whose economies are underperforming or those that have amazing exchange charges. Currently, some destinations that can be of interest to tourists encompass Greece (terrible economy), India, Australia, Russia, and Japan (all of which have seen their currencies fall in assessment to the dollar as a consequence making them manner extra low cost. Admittedly, at the same time as the charges in these locations have not fallen, they have become less expensive attributable to the drop in currencies.

Architects’ Delight: Eco-Friendly, Beautiful, and (Sort of) Affordable Homes

Blue Lake Retreat/Andrew Pogue

Looking for a stunning, eco-friendly new home that marries indoor and outdoor living … and is still (somewhat) affordable? Don’t laugh! It’s actually possible. As proof, check out the American Institute of Architects’ newly named 2017 Housing Award winners.

These architectural overachievers offer a respite from the standard cookie-cutter new homes. They were chosen for their creative, best-in-class designs and all around “livability.”

“These projects provide a glimpse of future trends in the housing market,” AIA spokesman Matt Tinder said in a statement about the winners of the 17th annual contest. “Universal design concepts, natural building materials and sustainable design principles are prevalent throughout these award recipients.”

So check out these drool-worthy homes below.

Category No. 1: Custom residences

* The Graphic House in Fayetteville, AR

The Graphic House

Timothy Hursley

The Mid-Century Modern–inspired Graphic House was, in fact, designed for a graphic artist and his family out in the suburbs. It’s an L-shaped, single-level home with a loft in the middle used for an art studio.

“The idea was to design a market-rate house … in the suburbs,” says architect Marlon Blackwell, who designed the three-bedroom home before the recession hit. It was built once the economy improved, for a cost of about $450,000.

The base of the home is made of concrete bricks, giving it an urban feel, with a carapace of stained black Cyprus wood covering the top part of the exterior. Glass windows providing plenty of sunlight join the two.

“It provides an alternative to the typical overscaled version of a suburban home,” Blackwell says. “Custom contemporary architecture doesn’t have to look like grandma’s house—and it can be affordable.”

* Blue Lake Retreat in Marble Falls, TX

Blue Lake Retreat

Andrew Pogue

The three-story, four-bedroom home was built on the side of a hill as a vacation retreat for a three-generation family: an older couple, their children, and the grandkids. But there’s a twist. The kitchen and living room are on the top floor, which features floor-to-ceiling windows. Bedrooms are on the first two floors.

“It’s a reversed floor plan,” says Gus Starkey, a project designer at Lake Flato, the San Antonio–based architecture firm that designed the home. “Once you get up [to the third floor], you’re right above all those treetops and you get a 180-degree view of the lake that’s just downhill.”

* Los Altos Residence in Los Altos, CA

Los Altos Residence

Nic Lehoux

Architect Bohlin Cywinski Jackson designed this single-family house as a modernist reinterpretation of the ranch homes popular in Northern California. The home’s clean design is meant to encourage its inhabitants to enjoy a combination of relaxing indoor/outdoor living, providing a bit of respite from the stresses of everyday life. It also features a linear pool and concrete garden wall outside.

* Pennsylvania Farmhouse in Lakewood, PA

Pennsylvania Farmhouse

David Sundberg

The 3,000-square-foot home, which looks like a futuristic barn, was designed by Cutler Anderson Architects. Set on a nearly 300-acre family farm in the hills of rural Pennsylvania, the base of the home was built with Pennsylvania bluestone and fieldstone. In addition, movable shutters allow residents to control the light flow into the home and cool the structure on hotter days.

* Sawmill in Tehachapi, CA

Sawmill

Kevin Scott/Olson Kundig

The 5,200-square-foot retreat in the California desert, designed by Olson Kundig, was inspired by the idea of tents centering around a campfire. It consists of three zones, which resemble small wings, connecting to the main house. This was intended to give the parents and each of their two children a living space of their own.

Category No. 2: Homes built for the speculative market

* Cully Grove in Portland, OR

Cully Grove

Brian Foulkes

The 16 single-family homes, duplexes, and triplexes in Cully Grove were designed as a co-housing community built around shared gardens and a common house for communal meals and social gatherings. Members of the community share the common spaces.

The buildings are also environmentally conscious, using solar power and heavy insulation to cut down on heating costs.

“The concept is that older folks and younger families would be in the same complex,” says architect Hans Kretschmer, of Green Gables Design and Restoration, which designed the community. “It’s really like living in a garden estate. You park elsewhere and then you walk through the garden to your dwelling.”

* Roxbury E+ in Boston, MA

Roxbury E+

Sam Oberter

The four three-story townhouses that comprise the Boston development were designed to prove that eco-friendly homes can be easily constructed in cities, be attractive, and be affordably priced.

“These are green homes that produce more energy than they use,” thanks to heavy insulation, which limits how much heat is needed in the colder months, and solar panels, says Brian Phillips. He is principal architect at Philadelphia-based Interface Studio Architects, which designed the homes. “The buildings are contemporary, but more importantly, they’re simple and minimal.”

* Stellar Residences homes and townhouses at Northstar in Truckee, CA

Stellar Residences

Nic Lehoux

The six single-family homes and 11 townhouses are reinterpreted mountain residences in the forest featuring energy efficiency alongside floor-to-ceiling windows showing off views of the Martis Valley and the Sierra Nevada. There is access to skiing, hiking, and biking trails, naturally.

It represents the second win of 2017 for Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, who also designed the Los Altos Residence.

Category No. 3: Multifamily housing (apartments and condos)

* Hunters View Housing Blocks 5 & 6 in San Francisco, CA

Hunters View

Bruce Damonte Photography

Paulett Taggart Architects is transforming two blocks of deteriorating city housing into 53 units in four L-shaped buildings surrounding shared courtyards. The multistory townhouses making up the Hunters View Redevelopment are also eco-friendly, earning LEED environmental certifications.

* Powerhouse in Philadelphia, PA

Powerhouse

Sam Oberter

Interface Studio Architects reimagined a busy city block with 31 attached single-family houses, duplexes, and apartments all ranging in price from $199,000 to $500,000. The eco-friendly homes are topped with solar panels and green roofs for gardening.

* VIA 57 West in Manhattan, NY

VIA 57 West

Nic Lehoux

The 35-floor, pyramid-shaped skyscraper features a courtyard for neighbors to meet and mingle, breathtaking views of the Hudson River, and plenty of bay windows to ensure residents can fully enjoy those views. The 709-unit apartment tower was designed by Bjarke Ingels, whose firm is also working on the new Google campus in Silicon Valley.
