Hotel Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, is a 52-room luxury property set on an eleventh-century palace above Ravello, Italy, on the Amalfi Coast. Known for its cliffside infinity pool, Caruso Grill restaurant, and terraced wedding gardens, it is one of the region’s most sought-after choices for honeymooners. There is a moment, standing on the terrace, when the Amalfi Coast stops being a postcard and becomes something you can feel.

Planning a celebration in New York City means you’re never short on options — but finding a room with the right energy for your crew is another story. Whether you’re gathering the bridesmaids for a night out or hosting family the evening before the “I dos,” these three spots each bring their own kind of magic to the table.

For a great introduction to the food center of the city, a walking tour is always a good idea. Julia from DeliciousAthens.com can show you around her favorite spots and feed you some fabulous delicacies. From markets to bakeries to restaurants (and more), you’ll be amazed how she knows all the proprietors and they all seem to treat her like family. In fact, by the end of the tour, you’ll not only be full (don’t eat first — or after!), but you’ll also consider her to be family.
