No trip to Singapore is complete without a meal (or 12) at its hawker centers, which sell multicultural dishes from generations-old recipes. But rising costs and demographic change are threatening the beloved tradition. 🔗on.wsj.com/40a1hdB

So true. Reason alone to visit fascinating Singapore. "Singapore is arguably one of the best food cities in the world, thanks in large part to its 121 hawker centers, which sell multicultural dishes from generations-old recipes." by @sebmodak wsj.com/lifestyle/travel/an-… @WSJ

INCREDIBLE SCENES last night after Colombia fans surrounded hotel of the national team in Miami ahead of Copa America final against Argentina. Around 300,000 Colombians reside in South Florida, which should make tonight's showdown a CONMEBOL Clasico. 🇨🇴

Incredible scenes at the final whistle here in Charlotte. Colombia, playing with 10 men for the entire second half, produced a performance full of guts & courage to beat Uruguay & reach the Copa America final. Some exceptional defending - special mention for Mojica. What a win 🇨🇴

We need to talk about Colombia. We need to talk about the team unbeaten in 27 matches. We need to talk about a country that finished a Copa America quarter-final like an exhibition match. We need to talk about James Rodriguez, who is playing like it’s 2014. 📝 @stujames75

Last month, I flew to Las Vegas for an experiment, a vacation version of the Jim Carrey comedy “Yes Man.” I said yes to every upgrade and VIP package to see just how much you get for your money — or don’t! 🧵 – at Cozumel, Quintana Roo

An overnight stay in Louis XIV’s bed. A "mermaid" gliding by a submarine excursion. Dinner with a descendant of Picasso. Here's what a $10 million vacation looks like. on.wsj.com/3vNE2Jk on.wsj.com/3vNE2Jk

I’m in the @WSJ today. A full page spread! Actually, this is my *third* time being published there but the ~first~ time in print. I wrote about MLK, Atlanta & the Black neighborhood he was from. I’m so honored, so grateful, so proud of this achievement. 🥹💖✨#MLKDay2024 #MLKDay

For @WSJ—my first piece of 2024—I wrote about Dr. King. I retraced his steps & legacy where he was born and where he dwelled along Auburn Avenue east of Atlanta, otherwise known as Sweet Auburn. In print this weekend. Very proud of this piece & me. wsj.com/lifestyle/travel/mar…
