Back to Business

September is known as back-to-school month. In Manhattan, September is also known as back-to-business month. In the days before Labor Day, the city streets are oddly empty as all Manhattanites enjoy their last days of summer in the Hamptons. The majority of people in the streets are vacationing from faraway lands. Magically, the Tuesday after Labor Day, all the intensity that defines Manhattan returns. Overnight, the lazy days of summer seem like a dream from another decade.

Remarkable Medellín

Visiting Medellín in Colombia: The Country of Beauty is like stepping into a fantastic story — literally, as the city in the Western Colombian Andes region inspired Disney’s Encanto. Here, valleys, the world’s tallest palms, vibrant communities, colorful houses, garden-like balconies and more prove reality is more picturesque than anything on film. And it’s especially more tempting following Medellín’s remarkable transformation, shedding its troubled past and reawakening as a city of innovation, art, cultural richness, modern infrastructure, thriving tourism and resiliency.
