| With an abundance of flashy casinos, luxury yachts, and exciting events (including the Formula One Grand Prix, the Monte-Carlo Arts Festival, and the Rolex Tennis Master), Monaco has been a top tourist attraction for years. Many of the world's wealthiest call this destination home...or at least vacation home. As a magnet for property tycoons, it's no surprise that Monaco could very soon be the home of the world's priciest property per square meter, which comes in the form of a multi-story penthouse in the Tour Odeon, ready to hit the market next year. |

| Few rivalries are as hotly contested as that of Ferrari and McLaren. The two most accomplished racing teams in the history of Formula One regularly duke it out on the grand prix circuit. No other team comes close to the dozens of championships these two brands have traded over the decades, and maybe none ever will. When McLaren came out with its first street-legal sportscars in 1992, appropriately enough called the McLaren F1, their rivalry spilled out off the racetrack and onto the street; territory Ferrari had long claimed for itself. |

| Acura may not be a brand that you immediately associate with luxury but they're trying pretty hard to change your way of thinking with their 2014 RLX sedan, which they're tagging as an "affordable luxury" option. As possibly their most lavish offering yet, (yes, even more so than their sporty models) the RLX beefs up everything from the interior space to the all-wheel steering system. |

| The notion of spending a million dollars on a car — however rare, exotic or capable — was unthinkable not long ago, but that was before cars like the Bugatti Veyron or Aston Martin One-77 came along. This car, however, doesn't cost a million...it doesn't cost two million. No, the price tag on this particular piece of extreme automotive engineering is set at a massive $4 million. |

| It's not every day that a new flagship Ferrari debuts; the 288 GTO was released in 1984 and the F40 that replaced it arrived just a few years later in 1987. Eight years passed before the F50 came along in 1995 and the Enzo succeeded that model in 2002. Now eleven years later the Prancing Horse marque has revealed its new hybrid supercar at the Geneva Motor Show. |

| Did you know that March is National Noodle Month? Neither did we, but now that we do, it’s a great excuse to carbo-load on all the pasta we crave. To help with our goal, Maria Zoitas (the creator of "Maria's Homemade" line of prepared food that is exclusively sold at Westside Market NYC) is sharing her delicious recipe for Linguine with Clams. With two dozen clams, garlic, parsley, red pepper, and of course linguine (or spaghetti if preferred), this recipe is pretty easy to make at home — all you really have to do is cook those little clams till they open and throw everything in a pot! |

| As far as holidays go, St. Patrick's Day is a pretty strange one to celebrate for most. After all, do any of us even know anything about St. Patrick (the patron saint of Ireland) or why we're celebrating him? While you may not care why you're hanging shamrock garlands, binge drinking green Guinness and proudly telling a weary bartender you're actually 1/3 Irish on your mother's side, you should at least know a few things about March 17 — even if the information is only used to impress your friends. Tell you what, I'll even share some pretty great St. Patrick's Day-inspired cocktail recipes after the miniature history lesson so you can mix up your own party at home. |

| A Rolls-Royce is expected to be luxurious, elegant, and yes, fast. Maybe not fast in the way you'd expect a Ferrari or a Lamborghini to be fast, but certainly quick enough to get out of situations unbefitting a motor car of its stature. |

| Louis XIII, one of the world’s most luxurious cognac brands, is launching a special limited edition bottling from a single “Rare Cask”, marking it as only the second time in the brand’s 140-year history that such an offering has been made available. Louis XIII, from the famed house of Rémy Martin, is a unique blend of over 1,200 eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from Grande Champagne, the most prestigious “cru” in the Cognac region. The precious spirit is aged for up to a century in casks known as “tierçons”, an extraordinary example of which was discovered by Louis XIII’s cellar master and earmarked for this unparalleled edition. |

| Ireland is known for its rolling green hills, rambunctious pubs, and welcoming residents, but the area has also given the art world some pretty talented people. From poets and painters to actors and musicians, many greats have once called Ireland home. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I decided to pick my favorite Irish imports, from the names nearly everyone knows of to those everyone should know of. |

The storied British automaker is a favorite among upscale buyers, with good reason, and now Bentley has introduced the new Flying Spur. |

| Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day, so we really should be taking more time to do it right. Instead of rushing through a bowl of cereal or eating toast on the road, get up a little earlier and prepare something substantial and tasty. Thanks to Chef Marissa Gerlach of Raya at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, you now have a pretty simple recipe for Fried Rice and Eggs to try out the next time you want to wake with a kick (or the next time you just feel like eating some rice and eggs). |

While that was probably not the point of Andreas Franke's latest fine art exhibit, the display is certainly one meant to get people talking. |

| With luxury cars comes the need for dependable high-performance tires; you can't just put anything on your Maserati and expect to get the most from it. There are plenty of tire brands out there that promise to give you the best but looking at their history and track record definitely helps when figuring out which name to go with. It also certainly doesn't hurt if the company is present in over 160 countries and is sitting pretty as one of the world's top five tire manufacturers in regards to revenue.
