These two NYC spots were just named the best new restaurants in the world
Once again, when it comes to the best of the world, you don't have to travel far if you already live in NYC.
Yesterday, the award-winning travel magazine and website Condé Nast Traveller released its 2025 Hot List. The annual series calls out the best new things all around the world, encompassing newly minted hotels, places to stay and more. As for what's shiny and sparkling in food, two new-ish New York restaurants caught the eye of the publication, both receiving a spot on the list.
Ranked in no particular order, chef Vikas Khanna's Bungalow made the list. Cited for being one of the hottest tables in 2024, the East Village restaurant received its dues for its unapologetic celebration of Indian culture and food. Global Digital Director at Condé Nast Traveller Arati Menon called out its 'melt-in-your-mouth dahi kebabs with a seviyan (vermicelli) crust' and its 'Goan shrimp balchão served in cones reminiscent of the 'cream rolls' at traditional Indian bakeries.' It seems we agree with CN Traveller, as Bungalow also made our best new restaurants list last year.
The Upper East Side's second act of Le Veau d'Or also topped the survey. According to writer Kyle Beechey, the revival of the 1937 restaurant led by Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson (of Frenchette, Le Rock and Frenchette Bakery) received the honor for its classic menu of French fare, 'executed with a precision that even some of Paris's best restaurants fail to command.' Beechey went on to call the pommes souffleés 'magical' and the martini as 'pitch-perfect,' finishing with the sentiment: 'In a city obsessed with the new, it's refreshing to be transported to a glorious past.'

Tiny European airport which uniquely 'lands in 3 countries' at once
This unique airport, that welcomed almost nine million passengers last year, has been branded the 'strangest' hub in the world due to being located in a 'trinational Eurodistrict' The world's 'strangest airport' is just one and a half hours from the UK - and allows passengers to land in three different countries. Located in the historic region of Alsace in northeastern France, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, is uniquely situated in what is called a 'trinational Eurodistrict' - where three countries overlap in one zone. Commonly referred to as just EuroAirport, the hub gives passengers the option to exit into Basel in Switzerland or Mulhouse in France. There is no exit that leads straight into Germany, but if you exit into France - you'll be a mere 13-minute drive from the German border. While the concept is certainly interesting - it can make things a little confusing. According to the Express, airlines may only show one of the destinations on the departure boards when displaying flight information. So, make sure you pay attention when in the airport - and once you've landed. While EuroAirport is not linked directly to a railway system, there are public transport connections to nearby trains in all three countries. Passengers exiting through French customs can take the number 11 Distribus shuttle to Saint-Louis train station to head towards Mulhouse in France or Strasbourg in Germany. Posting about the unusual airport on TikTok, travel enthusiast Ally Jape described the hub as the 'strangest airport' on the planet. "It is the only airport in the world that is managed by two different countries at the same time," he said in a now-viral video. "That means the moment you arrive within the same building, you can choose to take the exit through the French side, or the Swiss side. "Each side that you're going to take applies to the law of that specific country. This is just crazy. So, if you were to land at this airport, which country would go to first?" In 2024, the airport handled a whopping 8.9 million passengers - a 10.2 per cent increase compared to the previous year. This is still down from the pre-covid record of 9.1 million annual passengers back in 2019. Flights departing EuroAirport tend to be short or medium-haul journeys, connecting the hub to other parts of Europe such as Frankfurt, Berlin, Athens, Venice, and Zurich - as well as the UK. Brits wanting to experience the quirky airport can fly directly from Luton, Gatwick, Heathrow, or Manchester. If you're flexible with dates, you can grab return fares for as little as £37 in July. *Prices based on Skyscanner results at the time of writing.

They call it Scotland's most romantic garden - I fell in love with it
Here, enclosed within high walls, is a rose garden like no other. It is the work of the appropriately-named Rose Foyle, who fell in love with the flower as a child and who has filled the grounds of her Georgian home with such extravagant numbers of them that in early summer the garden takes on a dream-like quality. The roses at Carolside tumble from heavy rope swags, they climb the walls and spill from the borders, where they mingle in cottage-garden profusion with lady's mantle, sweet peas, artichokes and strawberries. Hardly an inch of soil is visible beneath the dense planting while the roses that scramble up arches add to the feeling of being totally immersed in flowers. Carolside in the Borders (Image: unknown) Not only do the roses look beautiful, but the scent is almost overpowering and the colours of the perennials that surround them, including the tall spikes of blue delphiniums and the sky blue flowers of Campanula persicifolia 'Cornish Mist' have been carefully selected to blend with the soft shades of roses that Rose Foyle prefers. Most of the roses are pre-1900 Gallicas. These 'French' roses, which are the ones grown by the Empress Josephine at Malmaison near Paris, are actually native to Turkey and the group includes the Apothecary's rose 'Rosa gallica Officionalis' and the pink striped Rosa mundi, or 'Versicolour', while one of the most prolific roses to grow in the garden is the exuberant rambler 'Paul's Himalayan Musk'. This is a remarkably vigorous plant, which can grow up to 12 metres in length and so is only found in gardens which can give it space to spread. It produces an abundance of sprays of tiny pink flowers that give off the strong, musky fragrance that gives it its name. The roses at Carolside (Image: unknown) Despite being in a heavy frost pocket, Carolside's roses are strong and healthy and they thrive on the free-draining soil thanks to regular applications of compost which gives them the richness and nutrients that they need. Careful pruning early in the year helps to encourage good growth and an abundance of flower buds while the shelter provided by the walls prevents the flowers from being damaged by high winds. Set at the far end of the garden is a range of heritage greenhouses, filled with pelargoniums and other hot-house plants, while the lawn close to the house, where teas are served on special open days, is edged with tall grasses which give this part of the garden a more contemporary feel. Outside of the walled garden the mood is more restrained, with a herb garden, smooth lawns and clipped box hedging, while the wooded slopes that surround the house create a natural amphitheatre. Details Carolside is 35 miles from Edinburgh, one mile north of Earlston on the A68. Carolside is open on Saturdays and Sundays until September 1, 11am - 5pm. Tickets: £8/children under 16 free.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Could Charli XCX be joined by New Zealand royalty at Heaton Park, or could a French dynamic duo collaborate with her once again? Who could be one of the DJs in the VIP stage and could they become the next UK prime minister? Here are your last minute-rumours ahead of Parklife 2025 this weekend in Manchester Forget Glastonbury Festival rumours for one week (please!), as we look to the more immediate future: Parklife 2025 in Manchester this week. While there's still guesswork involved who might be Patchwork and who else might fill those TBA slots at Worthy Farm, things seem a little less speculative when it comes to this weekend's event at Heaton Park, with the full timetable now available through the official Parklife app. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad That doesn't mean there won't be any surprises this year, though. Instead of solely looking at secret sets, we've taken a look through Reddit and the depths of social media to see who people think might make a guest appearance at Parklife this year. Be it Lorde or French house icons teaming up with a 'brat,' or a guerrilla gig potentially before or after what will be an incredibly lively set, here's five rumours currently doing the rounds before festival-goers converge on Manchester this weekend Last minute Parklife 2025 rumours From who could guest with Charli XCX to who might play a guerrilla gig this weekend; here's a round up of the last minute rumours for Parklife 2025. | Getty Images Will Lorde or Air join Charli XCX this weekend? There has been increased speculation that New Zealand musician Lorde could make a surprise appearance during Charli XCX's set. The singer, on the brink of releasing her brand new album, Virgin, has featured regularly alongside Charli XCX in recent months, thanks to their stunning collaborative effort Girl, So Confusing . Lorde was even seen on stage during both of the BRAT performer's Coachella 2025 sets in April. Given their recent proximity and obvious chemistry, a repeat performance in Manchester is high on many fans' wish lists. Lorde is due to play a full UK tour in November 2025, but a quick pop-up this weekend isn't out of the question for a collaborator. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But could an appearance by French dance giants Air be on the cards too? Charli XCX famously performed with the duo in Paris during their June 8, 2025 show. With Air's next tour date taking place in Dublin on June 17, 2025 – just two days after Parklife – a quick journey across the Irish Sea could certainly be in order for a surprise cameo. Who could perform alongside 50 Cent as he returns to the United Kingdom? Though wishful thinking means some hope either Eminem or Dr. Dre makes an appearance at Parklife 2025, there are still members of 50 Cent's G-Unit who could make the trip to appear on stage with him. The name Tony Yayo frequently gets mentioned, owing to him being the most consistent member of G-Unit alongside 50 Cent and having regularly appeared with the rapper. However, some think another core member, Lloyd Banks , could also be a guest during the set. Neither artist currently has independent tour dates scheduled, and if Fiddy is bringing any of the crew, those two names are highly probable. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Could Jora Smith bring on a who's who of UK rap icons? Jorja Smith's soulful R&B often blends seamlessly with the UK's vibrant rap and grime scenes. Fans are hoping she might invite some of her esteemed collaborators to share the stage. A top contender is Loyle Carner , with whom she released the acclaimed Loose Ends, and a joint performance would be a smooth and well-received addition to her set. What's more, there's significant buzz around AJ Tracey . The pair just reunited for their brand new single Crush in February 2025, and their chemistry is undeniable – a surprise live rendition of this fresh track would send the crowd wild. While a cameo from giants like Stormzy would be truly monumental, such high-profile appearances are often closely guarded secrets, and a full "who's who" might be as wishful as some of the wildest 50 Cent reunion rumours. However, with Jorja's extensive network of influential UK artists, her set remains a hotbed for potential unexpected collaborations. With a history of guerrilla gigs, will Loopdaddy take to the streets of Manchester? One of the highlights I'll be missing out on could potentially sneak a set on the streets of Manchester this weekend. We're talking about Loopdaddy himself, Marc Rebillet. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Given his official festival slot at Parklife in Manchester, it wouldn't be out of character for the incredibly fun producer to set up a quick, unannounced performance in a public space before or after his main set. Perhaps a quick gig at Victoria or Piccadilly Station could be something fans traveling to the event might spot? Guest DJs on the VIP Stage; is Andy Burnham about to spin the decks? Official Parklife information often explicitly mentions 'VIP DJs and special guests playing on the VIP stage, which is separate from the rest of the festival.' There's also the new Backstage Ticket which grants 'on-stage access at The Hangar stage' and access to 'exclusive VIP area with luxury loos, charging points, and a street food market and VIP cocktail bar.' While not a 'secret' headliner per se, this does pose a unique opportunity for some very important people to step into the DJ booth and lay on some tunes for those with the privilege to be there – and of all the names we've mentioned, why not add Andy Burnham as one of those potential guest DJs? Known for his own occasional DJ sets at local venues, it's not entirely out of the question for Burnham to pop up for a quick, unannounced turn on the decks. Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was well-known in Auckland for getting behind the decks before standing in front of the world as the then-leader of Aotearoa Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Do you have an event you'd like to share with us?
