A Peachy's Pick, Delmonico’s Hospitality Group Appoints Adam Plitt as Executive Chef and Secures Midtown Location for New Delmonico’s Restaurant

Delmonico's SINCE 1837

THEN & NOW

Delmonico’s Hospitality Group (DHG), a leader in New York City’s dining and hospitality scene,  announced the appointment of Adam Plitt as Executive Chef, alongside the securing of a new restaurant space in Midtown Manhattan that will debut as a second Delmonico’s location, marking a significant milestone in the continued evolution and expansion of the legendary hospitality group.

Delmonico’s Hospitality Group appoints Adam Plitt as Executive Chef; secures new restaurant space in Midtown Manhattan that will debut as a second Delmonico’s locationShare

Chef Plitt brings a distinguished background in luxury dining, operational excellence, and culinary leadership to Delmonico’s Hospitality Group. In his role, he will oversee the culinary vision and operations across the group’s growing portfolio, which includes the iconic Delmonico’s, one of America’s most storied dining establishments, as well as TUCCI NYC and Boogie Lab Bakery & Bistro, which is slated to open in the Washington Heights area of NYC in spring 2026.

Earlier in his career, Plitt served as Chef de Cuisine at Le Bernardin, where he played a key leadership role during the period in which the restaurant earned and maintained its Michelin stars. His tenure at the globally acclaimed restaurant helped shape his approach to fine dining, team development, and world-class kitchen operations. He later served as Director of Operations for Ripert Consulting, supporting food and beverage initiatives for Ritz-Carlton properties, before becoming Executive Chef at Morris County Golf Club, where he transformed the culinary program and established the operation as a benchmark for excellence.

“Adam is a proven leader with the rare ability to honor tradition while pushing and elevating culinary programs forward,” shared Dennis Turcinovic, owner and executive culinary partner of Delmonico’s Hospitality Group. “His experience at the very highest level of fine dining, combined with his operational discipline and passion for mentoring teams, makes him the ideal chef to help lead Delmonico’s Hospitality Group into its next chapter. We are thrilled to welcome him to the group.”

In tandem with Plitt’s appointment, Delmonico’s Hospitality Group also announced that it has secured a new restaurant location at 1330 Avenue of the Americas, following a long-term lease arrangement secured through Newmark Group, Inc. The high-profile Midtown Manhattan space (11,735 sq. ft.) will become the home of a new Delmonico’s restaurant, bringing the brand’s signature approach to American fine dining and steakhouse hospitality to the heart of Midtown.

“As new steakhouses and restaurant concepts continue to open across Midtown, what sets Delmonico’s apart is something few competitors can claim – nearly two centuries of New York culinary history and a deep understanding of the city’s dining culture,” said Turcinovic. “New York doesn’t need another generic steakhouse. Delmonico’s was born here, we’re not a national chain entering the market, we helped define it. For nearly 200 years, Delmonico’s has been part of the city’s culinary fabric, and this new restaurant will build on that legacy while offering a fresh interpretation of the Delmonico’s experience for today’s Midtown audience.”

Founded in 1837, Delmonico's is widely recognized as America’s first fine-dining restaurant and the birthplace of several iconic dishes, including Eggs Benedict, Lobster Newberg, and the legendary Delmonico Steak.

The new Midtown location positions Delmonico’s Hospitality Group at the center of Manhattan’s business, tourism, and cultural corridors, reinforcing the group’s long-standing commitment to New York City while expanding the reach of one of the most celebrated names in American dining.

Together, the appointment of Chef Plitt and the securing of the new Midtown location underscore Delmonico’s Hospitality Group’s forward-looking vision—investing in exceptional talent and iconic spaces to ensure the enduring relevance of one of the most celebrated names in American dining.

"I should have come sooner. I walked out on that concourse, and I did not want to leave. The FireSuites, the mountains, the sunset, it all hits differently in person," said Troy Aikman.

After just two years of operation, Ford Amphitheater was named Top West Coast Amphitheater on Billboard's 2026 Top Music Venues List. The venue was designed from the ground up for live music and features signature Luxe FireSuites, elevated Owners Clubs, sweeping views of the Rocky Mountains, and on-property dining and nightlife destinations including Roth's Sea & Steak and Brohan's fine dining and cocktail lounge.

"It is always great catching up with JW and the VENU team, and Ford Amphitheater was the perfect place to do it," said Aikman. "I should have come sooner.

Troy is a true partner in every sense of the word, and we are grateful for his continued belief in what we are building."

Aikman's connection to VENU runs deep. As a Luxe FireSuite owner and shareholder, he is also the namesake of the exclusive Aikman Club, a custom-built premium hospitality experience planned for each of VENU's Sunset Amphitheaters under development in Texas and Oklahoma. The Aikman Club will offer premium seating, high end amenities, and an elevated concert experience unlike anything else in the market.

#GothamGadgets BISSELL® Teams Up with Eva Longoria to Launch its Most Advanced Stick Vacuum Yet - PowerClean® DualBrush

Together, they tackle big and small messes with one powerful cordless stick vacuum featuring two brush rolls

Life isn't lived in perfect lines; it's lived in the spills, scattered crumbs, pet hair and everyday chaos that come with a well-loved home. BISSELL® is embracing those real, lived-in moments with its newest cordless stick vacuum, PowerClean® DualBrush, engineered to powerfully clean it all— from big debris to fine dust — for a faster, easier clean.

Eva Longoria Using BISSELL PowerClean DualBrush

Real–life messes come in all shapes and sizes, that's why BISSELL® is teaming up with Eva Longoria — director, producer, actor and activist — whose lively household reflects the beautifully lived-in moments that make a home well–loved, and a clean space worth resetting with the right solution. Together, they're championing the PowerClean® DualBrush to show how effortless a powerful clean can be — and how it helps bring calm back to a busy home.

"I love a lively, bustling home with kids, cooking, pets, you name it — and that means messes, both big and small, come with the territory," said Longoria. "When our home needs a quick reset, I am confident PowerClean® DualBrush can pick up everything in one go, giving me that satisfyingly clean experience so I can get back to what matters most — time with my family and, of course, our dog too."

Powered by DualBrush Technology, the cordless self-standing stick vacuum uses two brush rolls: one to loosen and lift what's embedded, and one to hug the floor, leaving nothing behind. Together, they capture large debris that plows1 and fine dust that often gets left behind2.

Built with proprietary BISSELL® Pet Proven® testing methods, the PowerClean® DualBrush tackles the hair, dirt and daily mess of all sizes that come with unconditional pet love. With features like FurFinder™ Headlights that reveal 6X more pet fur3, and AutoAdapt™ Technology that boosts 75% more suction power4 instantaneously when needed, and the FurFinder™ Upholstery Tool that lifts embedded pet hair twice as fast5, the cordless stick vacuum is built for helping pet-friendly homes clean faster and easier.

"Eva's lifestyle reflects what we hear from pet parents every day — homes are full, life moves fast and cleaning tools need to keep up," said Aleta Chase, Vice President of Global Dry Cleaning Systems at BISSELL®. "PowerClean® DualBrush tackles the mix of pet hair, fine dust and everyday debris that show up all at once, and in a single pass. Partnering with Eva helps us show just how effortless and satisfying a powerful clean can feel in a busy household."

The new PowerClean® DualBrush stick vacuum doesn't just clean up after pets, it helps save them, too. When you buy a BISSELL® product, Every Purchase Saves Pets™ through BISSELL's support of BISSELL Pet Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing pet homelessness.

The PowerClean® DualBrush is now available for $359, rolling out at major retailers nationwide and in select global markets. Catch candid, real-life cleaning moments — from everyday messes to instantly satisfying clean-ups — on BISSELL® and Longoria's social channels.

#HealthyPeachy @ACPIMPhysicians New guidance from ACP says all average-risk females aged 50-74 should undergo biennial mammography screening for breast cancer

ACP also offers screening advice for females aged 40-49, frequency of screening, discontinuing screening, and females with dense breasts

New guidance from the American College of Physicians (ACP) says all asymptomatic, average-risk females ages 50 to 74 should receive biennial screening mammography for breast cancer. Females between the ages of 40 and 49 should discuss with their doctor their risk for breast cancer and the benefits and harms of screening. This is because harms of screening such as false positive results, psychological distress because of it, overdiagnosis, overtreatment, additional testing, and radiation exposure may outweigh the uncertain benefits in this population. ACP's advice, Screening for Breast Cancer in Asymptomatic, Average-Risk Adult Females: A Guidance Statement from the American College of Physicians, is published in Annals of Internal Medicine.

The Annals of I

Carolyn J. Crandall, M.D., MS, MACP, Chair of the ACP Guidelines Committee and Professor of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA explains ACP's new mammography screening guidance.

ACP also provides guidance on when to discontinue breast cancer screening and how to approach screening for females with dense breasts. ACP says that asymptomatic, average–risk females who are 75 years or older, or those with a limited life expectancy, discuss stopping routine screening with their doctor. This is because the benefits of screening beyond age 74 are reduced or uncertain, while potential harms, such as overdiagnosis, become more likely with increasing age. For asymptomatic, average–risk females who have dense breasts, ACP advises doctors to consider supplemental digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). Decisions should consider potential benefits and harms, radiation exposure, availability, patient values and preferences, and cost. However, ACP advises against using supplemental MRI or ultrasound for screening in this population.

The guidance statement was developed by ACP's Clinical Guidelines Committee which defined average risk as females who do not have a personal history of breast cancer or diagnosis of a high-risk breast lesion, a genetic mutation such as BRCA 1 or 2 that is known to increase risk, another familial breast cancer risk syndrome, or a history of high-dose radiation therapy to the chest at a young age.

"Screening for breast cancer is essential and should be guided by the best available evidence," said Jason M. Goldman, MD, MACP, President of ACP. "ACP developed this guidance to provide physicians and females with the information they need to make breast cancer screening decisions, including when to start and discontinue, how often to screen, and which methods to use for screening."

About the American College of Physicians

The American College of Physicians is the largest medical specialty organization in the United States with members in more than 172 countries worldwide. ACP membership includes 163,000 internal medicine physicians, related subspecialists, and medical students. Internal medicine physicians are specialists who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to the diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of adults across the spectrum from health to complex illness.

#TakeaTrip The Great American Luxury Escape: Why Affluent Travelers Are Rediscovering U.S. Destinations

Global Travel Collection Reports 20% Surge in Domestic Summer Hotel Bookings as Travelers Pivot Closer to Home; Hawaii, Ranch Retreats and New England Lead

As economic uncertainty and shifting geopolitics reshape travel sentiment, affluent Americans are increasingly rediscovering the extraordinary experiences available closer to home. New booking data from Global Travel Collection (GTC) shows a renewed interest in domestic luxury travel, with summer hotel bookings across the United States rising more than 20% year-over-year and average daily rates climbing 40% as demand intensifies for high-end U.S. resorts and retreats.

The data, drawn from advisor bookings through the first quarter of 2026 for summer travel between June and September, suggests a growing appetite for secluded landscapes, iconic resorts and experiential destinations across the country.

"At moments when the world feels uncertain, sophisticated travelers don't stop traveling. They pivot," said Angie Licea, President of Global Travel Collection, one of the world's most influential luxury host travel agencies. "What we're seeing is a deliberate shift toward extraordinary domestic experiences—from private island resorts to mountain ranch retreats—where travelers can stay closer to home without compromising on luxury or discovery."

Summer 2026: Domestic Luxury Hotel Bookings Surge

GTC booking data shows strong momentum for domestic luxury travel heading into the summer season:Domestic luxury hotel bookings are up more than 20% year-over-year compared with the same booking window in 2025 for June-September travel, with September showing the strongest growth.

Average daily rates for domestic hotel bookings are up 40% year-over-year, as properties respond to tightening demand with confident pricing.

Summer air bookings remain relatively flat, with transactions up 2% and sales up 4%, reinforcing a trend toward closer-to-home destinations and travelers delaying some flight purchases amid ongoing global uncertainty.

Where Luxury Travelers Are Going This Summer

The destination data points to a clear appetite for escape—beaches, mountains and working ranches are winning the summer, while major urban centers are losing ground. As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary in July 2026, historic destinations, particularly in New England, are also drawing increased interest.

GTC's highest-growth domestic destinations for summer 2026 include:Hawaii (Big Island, Maui, Kona) — The Islands dominate, with multiple destination entries underscoring Hawaii's position as the premier domestic luxury escape.

Big Sky, Montana — Mountain resort towns are capturing clients seeking seclusion and nature immersion.

Knoxville / Walland, Tennessee — Home to the acclaimed Blackberry Farm and Blackberry Mountain, this region is drawing food-and-nature-focused luxury travelers.

Newport, Rhode Island — New England coastal retreats, anchored by properties like Ocean House, are seeing strong booking growth.

Los Angeles, Boston and Miami Beach round out the top performers.

By contrast, New York City—historically GTC's most-booked domestic summer destination—has seen bookings fall nearly 50% year-over-year as clients substitute beach and ranch escapes for urban summer travel. Chicago has seen a similar decline.

Most-Booked Luxury Domestic Properties for Summer 2026

The following properties are the top-booked luxury resorts by GTC advisors for summer 2026:Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection — Hawaii, Big Island

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai — Hawaii, Kona

Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea — Hawaii, Maui

The St. Regis Aspen Resort — Aspen, Colorado

Ocean House — Watch Hill, Rhode Island

Hualalai Villas and Homes — Hawaii, Kona

Blackberry Farm / Blackberry Mountain — Walland/Knoxville, Tennessee

The Advisor Advantage in a Fluid Environment

The data underscores the increasing value of GTC's network of luxury travel advisors during periods of geopolitical and economic uncertainty. As clients reassess international itineraries and navigate shifting travel conditions, advisors are serving as indispensable partners—redirecting bookings with speed and expertise, securing preferred rates at top domestic properties and helping clients make confident decisions in a fluid environment.

For travelers seeking access to sought-after resorts and curated domestic experiences, working with a GTC advisor can provide both expertise and preferred access. To learn more, visit globaltravelcollection.com.

About Michael Edwards

Michael Edwards is a fragrance taxonomist, historian, and the founding editor of the Fragrances of the World reference books and database. He created the iconic Fragrance Wheel and pioneered the development of online fragrance finders.

Over a career spanning more than forty years, Michael and his team have classified and matched over 60,000 fragrances—family by family, scent by scent. As Puig observed, "Michael has created a common language for fragrances."

Michael has long been fascinated by the history of modern perfumery. He is the author of Perfume Legends (1996; updated 2019), a seminal work tracing the evolution of French fragrances. For the first time, perfumers spoke openly about their craft and the sources of their inspiration. "There is no other book like it," wrote Edmond Roudnitska, the most influential perfumer of the mid-20th century.

Its companion volume, American Legends (2024), took thirty years to research. With a foreword by the late Leonard A. Lauder, it traces the evolution of American fragrances from 1752 to the present day. "Once in a blue moon, a book emerges that is so fascinating in its detail, so comprehensive in its scope, that it deserves to be called a masterpiece," said Sabrya Meflah, President of IFF Fine Fragrances. "American Legends is just such a book."
