On Saturday, the annual 404 Day festivities hit a new high when Impossible Foods and rap icon Big Boi joined forces for Impossible x Big Boi: 404 Taste the Block at Smorgasburg in Atlanta. More than 20+ Smorgasburg vendors were set up throughout the space, each serving local favorites with a plant-based twist courtesy of Impossible Foods’ proteins. The one-day event drew thousands of fans for a full day of pure ATL energy.

Some resorts impress you on arrival, and The SLS Baha Mar in Nassau, Bahamas, is absolutely one of them. Spread across Cable Beach as part of the larger Baha Mar property, the hotel effortlessly sustained its playful energy throughout my entire stay. After spending two nights and three days there, the biggest takeaway is how easily one can settle into the rhythm of the place. My routine was simple. Mornings started slowly with breakfast and ocean views. Afternoons were for the pool and small bites.

The sun was still bright and doing its damage by the time Dario Cecchini walked through the doors of Carna by Dario Cecchini at the SLS Baha Mar in Nassau. It’s my second time in the Bahamas, and Dario’s tenth or so. I love being near the sea, and Nassau has a way of making everything feel brighter. Dario is just as fond of it. He loves the Bahamas, he tells me. But more than the turquoise water or the white sand beaches, what draws him in is the people. “Mi piacciono le persone,” he said. The people.
