Steve Haffner, the man behind the curtain at Kayak.com, reveals his jet-setting ways, mid-meeting bar games, and the destinations you should add to your globetrotting roster.
Where can we find you outside the office? I travel a lot, and I love the restaurant scene. La Esquina in New York is a great Mexican restaurant in the basement of a nondescript building. I like Rick Bayliss' place in Chicago, the Frontera Grill. I love the bar scene at the Sanderson Hotel in London. It's a good mix of Europeans, Russians, and the occasional expat.
Who do you admire in your industry? There are those larger than life types: David Neelman, who started jetBlue -- he's a serial airline launcher who has made money every time. He just launched Azul in Brazil last week, and he's amazing. Another is Jeff Boyd of Priceline, who has been there for eight or nine years. He took a nice little company and made it outperform everybody in the industry. Now it's worth $3.5 billion.
