JetBlue had better step up in terms of the frock department. With Delta/Northwest rocking Richard Tyler designs and Cynthia Rowley getting cozy with United, JetBlue is starting to look a little downmarket in the uniform department. Maybe they should go completely avant garde and get Alexander McQueen to design their next set of dress blues. The dresses could come with couture hoods and to-the-floor capes. I'm thinking yards and yards of lace and tulle with studded accents.


For a slice of New York that’s not all bright lights and tall buildings, get off the grid and spend a day in the West Village. The neighborhood’s former moniker, “Little Bohemia,” no longer applies (multimillion-dollar townhouses aren’t exactly anti-establishment), but relics of its former self still exist alongside stylish restaurants and boutiques. Bring a map; with an entire day to spare, we suggest getting purposefully lost.
