Jenni Kayne Farmhouse Review
Those with an appreciation for California-based fashion designer Jenni Kayne's eponymous clothing, design and lifestyle brand can now get a deeper glimpse into its laid-back vibe. After a year of invite-only stays, the brand's Farmhouse is now available for public booking on Airbnb starting in May.
Nestled on a cozy plot of land in Tivoli, New York, the Farmhouse is a beautiful four-bedroom, three-bathroom gem featuring a chef's kitchen, a pool and an on-site spa, the Oak Wellness Club. The aesthetic embodies Jenni's signature style, featuring items from the designer's own line of furniture, mixed with more than 70 vintage and antique pieces—some dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries.
'There's something so lovely about spring and early summer in the Hudson Valley,' Kayne says. 'It's not too hot yet, the landscape is bright and ever-changing, and everyone seems to be coming alive after winter. I also love the fall upstate. You get to see all of the changing leaves, which isn't something we get here in L.A.' Here's everything you need to know before checking in.

Start your day with a farmhouse-inspired breakfast, then grab a spot by the pool, where you can lounge all day while listening to the sounds of nature. Wellness abounds at this property, from the on-site sauna, to the cold plunge and hot tub, to the Oak Wellness Club, a beautiful greenhouse that offers massages and facials featuring Kayne's Oak Essentials line of natural, nontoxic skincare, body care, bath products and spa-inspired fragrances.

The Farmhouse features four serene bedrooms decked out in rich hues, plus three spa-like bathrooms stocked with Oak Essentials products, making it a perfect escape for a girls' trip or a romantic weekend getaway with a significant other. 'I've always had a natural instinct and interest in creating whole environments that reflect a certain feeling: grounded, beautiful, effortless,' Kayne says. 'And I've always loved sharing these environments with friends and family. So extending into interiors as the next lifestyle touchpoint was just a natural extension of both my creative inspiration and the brand as a whole.'

Tivoli is worth a visit any time of the year—I've visited in both the middle of summer and late fall. But one of the most lively and memorable times to visit is in summer, when the weather is ideal and guests can enjoy all the outdoor amenities the property has to offer. Those looking for adventure in the area can also book hiking or wine tasting trips. For a more leisurely experience nearby, the boutiques in downtown Hudson are definitely worth a visit. 'Stissing House is my absolute favorite,' Kaye says. 'Every meal there is incredible and the ambience is just perfect.'

Jenni Kayne's Farmhouse is located 100 miles from New York City, about a two-hour drive. It's also accessible by train, a ride of about two hours and 40 minutes (Amtrak to Hudson, followed by a 20-minute Uber ride). The closest airport is Albany International Airport, about a one-hour drive.

Tariffs are causing Alaska Airlines to cancel flights. Here's why.
Alaska Airlines is canceling more than a dozen flights a day as tariffs hinder its ability to accept delivery of new aircraft, according to the carrier. The Seattle, Washington-based airline said it wouldn't immediately accept delivery of two Embraer 175 regional jets in order to avoid incurring the extra tariff-related costs. The aircraft were meant to serve Horizon Air, a regional subsidiary of Alaska Airlines. President Trump's tariff agenda has upended supply chains for a range of businesses, and has forced many companies to raise prices on consumers in order to protect their margins. The aviation industry has also warned that the levies will affect its business. "We deeply regret the impact this situation will have on our guests this summer," Alaska Airlines said in a statement to CBS News Wednesday. "Amid the ongoing uncertain economic environment, we are focused on controlling what we can control — including costs, productivity, operational performance and taking care of our guests to the best of our ability. As part of this effort to control our costs, Alaska will not accept additional costs imposed by tariffs throughout our supply chain," it added. Without the new aircraft, Alaska said it must cancel 14 flights a day through the end of July. Horizon operates all of its flights on Embraer jets. Alaska operates an all-Boeing fleet. The delayed aircraft were expected to arrive from Brazil in May. Brazilian imports to the United States have been subject to a 10% tariff since April. Delta Air Lines also took steps to avoid paying tariffs on new aircraft earlier this year. In April, it had new Airbus A350 airlines delivered from France to Japan, and flew the planes internationally first, before bringing them to the U.S. Because the aircraft were not new on arrival in the U.S., the airline was not on the hook for paying tariffs on them. Which routes is Alaska canceling? The new planes had been scheduled to arrive by the end of May and were expected to go into service during the summer season for Horizon, which serves the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, California, Colorado, Utah and western Canada. Alaska said it is cutting routes that are served by multiple flights, so that no single route is eliminated entirely, even temporarily. "When deciding which flights to cancel, we put our guests at the center of consideration. We don't take these decisions lightly as we know it means disruption for our guests and their travel plans. We assessed our network and protected the communities we serve that already have limited service. Our teams are working to reaccommodate all impacted guests on the next best option for their travel plans," Alaska said in a statement. contributed to this report.

Is Quiet Luxury Over? Top Designer André Fu Believes It's Here To Stay
A calming, luxurious suite at Dusit Thani Bangkok To say interior architect André Fu is in demand is quite the understatement. In the past year alone, his eponymous André Fu Studio (AFSO) had a hand in four headline projects: The Emory in London, the city's first all-suite hotel; Dusit Thani Bangkok, a reinvention of a historic flagship property; Capella Taipei, styled as a modern mansion and the eighth opening of the award-winning hospitality group; and Waldorf Astoria Osaka, the luxury brand's first foray in Japan. So while fashion has become disillusioned with the quiet luxury aesthetic, Fu's popularity is testament to the power of elegant restraint. Known for his East-meets-West aesthetic and a calming yet textured palette, his worldly approach is far from 'boring beige'—he creates spaces with warmth, character and sophistication in spades. We speak to the lauded interior architect and founder of André Fu Living, on his timely yet timeless designs, his creative process and what's next. Plume is the elevated lobby bar at Capella Taipei You often describe your style as 'relaxed luxury'. What would you say are the ingredients of the André Fu style? Perhaps it is my approach to design—it is never about capturing a particular trend of style. I would typically immerse myself in walking around the site, conducting engaging conversations with the locals and conjuring the narrative for the project. This serves as the backbone for the project to evolve and develop, but it is always about bringing everyone back to the original vision and being truthful to it. Your projects span new builds and historic spaces. Do you approach them differently? Each hotel takes years to realise so whenever I accept a new project, I need to convince myself that there is something unique that I want to tell. This mindset allows me to see each project as a way to capture a new side of my aesthetic world. Andre Fu used Jim Thompson Thai silk and handmade ceramic tiles at the Dusit Thani Bangkok For the Dusit Thani Bangkok, you were able to weave a lot of the hotel's history into the space. Walk us through the creative process: It was about paying homage to the original hotel's distinct character, while also offering something fresh and innovative. I imagined a visual journey to celebrate Thai culture and design sensibilities, art and craftsmanship throughout each destination within the property. I adopted a vast variety of local materials, including Jim Thompson Thai silk and handmade ceramic tiles to celebrate the local artisan offerings, and juxtaposed them with European fabrics and stones. Palette wise, one may notice an expansive use of exotic tropical colors to celebrate the sense of place. One of the key highlights in the project can be found in the main lobby: multiple freestanding bronze screens, designed in collaboration with Bangkok-based projecttSTUDIO. This handcrafted sculpture has intricate interwoven patterns to conjure a layered visual experience, evoking a dynamic sense of movement and ascension. The level of intricacy for the scale we have dreamt up is highly ambitious. The stunning Peacock Alley at Waldorf Astoria Osaka From post-pandemic recovery to economic uncertainty and ongoing wars, the world seems more chaotic. Do you think this has changed how many of us view hotels? I think hotels are an ultimate expression of lifestyle—it ought to elevate one's senses on a 360-degree level. Guests are also seeking for each hotel to have a point of view and a story to tell, akin to reflecting on their own personal values. On that note, it perhaps explains why I have always challenged myself with coming up with a particular vision and narrative for each project. Sometimes it is about the brand that I'm working with, sometimes it's about revolving around the context of the hotel, or everything in between. What would your dream holiday look like? My bucket list at present includes a trip to Brasilia to admire the works of Oscar Niemeyer. Every summer, I also take a few days to return to Villa La Coste—one of my favorite projects nestled in Aix-en-Provence to immerse myself in its world of art, architecture and wine culture. Lastly, can you share future plans that you're personally excited about? Other than some key addresses and hotels in the making, my next step involves taking my own brand, André Fu Living, outside of Asia.

Inside Marcus Samuelsson's Bright, Berbere-Blasted D.C. Debut
NY-based celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson finally gets to do a D.C. restaurant on his terms. Marcus DC, his first in the nation's capital, opened Tuesday, June 3, in NoMa's Morrow Hotel (222 M Street NE) . The acclaimed restaurateur behind Harlem's hot Red Rooster oversaw every last detail at the 200-room hotel's anchor dining attraction, from the Ethiopian and Swedish influences on the menus, the colorful textured mural by Brooklyn-based artist Derrick Adams above the stunning bar, down to the waiters' custom patchwork aprons. The result: a fun and lively atmosphere that prepares diners to sample Samuelsson's one-of-a-kind dishes. 'This is the first restaurant that we are doing on our terms,' Samuelsson tells Eater. 'We just wanted to connect, to keep the guests curious and to make them feel like 'Wow, this is an experience that I want to come back to.'' With the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay supplying local oysters, rockfish, and, of course, blue crabs, Samuelsson knew his seafood-centric restaurant had to have a local chef who knows its waterways well. He immediately reached out to his longtime collaborator chef Anthony Jones, a Maryland native that worked at Miami's Red Rooster Overtown in 2020 and most recently led the kitchen at Dirty Habit, who adds his own twists to Marcus DC's dishes. Jones infused the menu with the flavors of D.C., from the mambo sauce on the Chuck B's roast chicken (named after one of the original founders of Go-Go) to the addictive Mel's crab rice, Jones's homage to his summers growing up in Calvert County picking up fresh crabs with his family from Mel's crab truck. 'Every summer we would stop by and get a few bushels of crabs from Mel's Truck that we would drive past in Huntington, Maryland,' says Jones. 'We would all dig in, crack open a few beers, have some sides, and music would be playing. And that was just like a fun summer time experience for me and now I've taken that and mixed it with rice.' The 153-seat newcomer with a 12-seat bar was already packed on the first night of service. Samuelsson says he has many opening favorites, notably that crab rice, but recommends starting with his signature blue cornbread served with yassa butter and berbere honey; followed by his Swediopian, a cured salmon served with a goldenberry broth, fennel mustard, and teff crisp; and fluke crudo served in an apple cucumber aguachile with a crispy plantain. After that the options are endless, diners can chow down on mains like the roasted rockfish served with an octopus-based chili (a homage to Ben's Chili Bowl), the Chuck B's Roast Chicken, and, of course, that signature Mel's Crab Rice with pickled okra and uni bernaise. Try to save room for dessert. Executive pastry chef Rachel Sherriff, formerly of Rooster & Owl, has created a selection inspired by her Jamaican heritage that will not be found anywhere else. The Thai basil rice pudding accompanied with lime cake, ginger lime jelly, and yogurt sorbet is habit-forming. Her praline coconut cake is showcased with a table-side retro trolley where the final dish is theatrically built in front of guests. 'Once you go through the meal, then you come to Rachel, there's another level of discovery,' Samuelsson remarks. 'So that is for me, what I'm extremely excited about… it's the biggest privilege when you can work with young people that are committed to our craft.' The cocktails menu here was crafted by master mixologist Glendon Hartley, of award-winning Causa/Amazonia and Service Bar, to specifically compliment the food. Options such as a spicy Abyssinian Blaze made with gin, Campari, and the Ethiopian spice berbere or the light Velvet Detour made with tamarind, cognac, and lemon juice do not disappoint. While Samuelsson honed his techniques working in Italy, France, Japan, and Sweden, he said many of the foods and decor at his newest restaurant are inspired by the continent of Africa. He hopes the restaurant will serve as a lively cultural destination that 'showcases the richness and diversity of the Black culinary experience' in a modern setting. 'I want the guests to feel a sense of joy and warmth in the place once they enter and as they dine and discover chef Anthony's food, how delicious and extremely thoughtful it is. But it's also craveable, made with great techniques,' he says. Samuelsson said he always felt a close connection to D.C.'s vibrant Ethiopian community and the 'mom-and-pop' shops that line neighborhoods like Adams Morgan. He started exploring the city in the mid-90s, making frequent weekends trips from New York and, as his notoriety grew, returned to cook for high-stakes dinner and eventually for the Obamas at the White House. He was drawn to the Union Market area because it feels vibrant and layered, plus he says other chefs at the surrounding restaurants have been 'super welcoming.' He also enjoys just strolling through the buzzing neighborhood and checking out vintage stores whenever he gets a chance. After a Marcus DC meal, a nightcap or at least a quick peek of the view at his rooftop bar Sly is a great way to end the evening. Related Best Places to Dine in NoMa and Around Union Market Samuelsson has a few words of advice for aspiring chefs: Try your hand at every position in the kitchen and front of house, 'learn about new cultures and food languages', and take advantage of social media, but it all comes down to having a 'love for the craft.' 'The chefs that truly love the craft will be successful, because it's not only an external affirmation, it's an internal affirmation,' he says. 'I was cooking when no one was watching, and I loved it. And it just makes me happy.' Sign up for our newsletter.
