A Sausalito resort is piloting a robot program that delivers champagne directly to guest rooms. While this service is limited to those staying in a $10,000 per night suite, the hotel is already working on a second drone that will transport sweets and other goodies to all guests.
One of my favorite childhood memories is waking up to the smell of eggs and chorizo at my best friend's house after a sleepover. I'd walk into the kitchen and see her grandma over the stove and a basket of warm tortillas on the table, along with leftover beans from last night's dinner. I shared this with Silvia McCollow, chef and co-owner of Nido, explaining that her food made me reminisce. "You're the third person that's said something like that to me this week. One woman broke into tears because her dinner reminded her of the meals she misses in Mexico City," she says. While my experience wasn't as dramatic, I did have considerable trouble putting down my fork.
