One no longer needs to wait until October to see pumpkin-flavored everything. The sweet, subtly spicy pumpkin coffee drinks were an instant sensation when they hit the market in the early 2000s, hot or iced, through one of the world’s biggest coffee chains … so much so that over the course of two decades, they pop up as early as August and stay around well into the holiday season. However, the phenomenon may leave something to be desired for coffee lovers craving other fall flavors. In response, these mom-and-pop shops and regional chains dig a little deeper into their pantries to come up with concoctions utilizing apple, cinnamon, maple, salted caramel, pecan and all sorts of comforting flavors associated with fall.

Buffalo, New York, visitors are spoiled for choice not only when it comes to inventive cold-weather drinks but also in the number of hometown coffee brewers developing them. Toasted Buffalo Beauty Foodie rolls out The Salty Witch, Butterbrew, and Caramel Apple Latte. JAM Parkside got a jump on fall in September by rolling out its Harvest, Brown Sugar, and Butter Caramel drinks. Goodrich Coffee & Tea offers Maple Chai Latte and Salted Caramel Toffee Latte, while Clarence Center Coffee Company currently serves an indulgent Pecan Sticky Bun Espresso with butter pecan, caramel and brown sugar syrups in their mix. Overwinter Coffee has two new secret menu syrups — Apple Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Cardamon — to enliven any coffee drink.

As a coffee alchemist, Ryan Castelaz earned a reputation that percolates far beyond his native Wisconsin. This fall the founder of Milwaukee’s Discourse Coffee and author of The New Art of Coffee: From Morning Cup to Caffeine Cocktail serves up true originals such as Chant (mixing espresso, chanterelle syrup and powder, and oaked maple chai), Clyde (with chai concentrate, tamarind and nutmeg) and El Mocha (with blackberry beet balsamic).

KŌAST Review

In Los Angeles, word spreads quickly when a bonafide “A-list” chef opens a new restaurant, complete with a painstakingly crafted menu and ambiance that whispers (not shouts) “exclusive.” This is certainly the case with the warmly lit, 60-seat KŌAST Melrose, packed every night since its Jan. 29 opening. While the dining experience involves painstakingly prepared dishes almost too pretty to tear into, the management and staff keep things grounded to ensure it shines as a “neighborhood spot” more about the food than whomever comes in to enjoy it.

Vancouver Entices Meeting-Goers with Its Stunning Beauty and Sustainability

When I first visited Vancouver, I was headed to the city for a work event. I anticipated a hectic few days of business travel, but what I didn’t expect was the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the city. From there, I ventured out into the wilds of Canada’s Pacific Coast with a trip to Vancouver Island and Tofino. I have returned — for work and pleasure — many times since over the years. I found that first trip nothing short of perfect, which is unsurprising considering Vancouver has established itself as an alluring and unique destination for MICE tourism. Vancouver offers sustainability and versatility for business travelers and hosts more than 500 major domestic and international conventions, tradeshows and more.

2 Airlines Now Use Apple Features for Enhanced Baggage Tracking

It’s a fear (and even experience) we’ve all unfortunately had when traveling: We get to our destination or back home and wait at baggage claim, only to have the sinking realization our bag didn’t emerge and is missing. Fortunately, more and more airlines seek ways to avoid these problems or, at least in the event your bag does go missing temporarily, have ways to keep tabs on bags.
