considering booking The Setai in August but the noise concerns have me spooked. alternative would be Faena, 1 Hotel, Delano or The Standard.
The Setai is my clear top choice if not for noise.
thanks!
couples trip. 40 years old. not looking to party. more low key, chill at pool and beach. drink good, eat good. maybe a massage.
Setai would be tops for us if it weren't for two things we read: construction nearby and a lackluster spa.
1 Hotel looks great but gets mixed reviews here.
The Edition. seems a lot love it and some don't.
The Delano wasn't on my radar until I read about it's recent renovation.
The Standard just sounds cool...but, eh?

i ask this because for the last 10+ years i have actively disliked where i live and i wonder if its grinded my down a bit. i feel mentally drained.
it's not like i live in a terrible area either, it just doesn't fit me. but my wife is tied by family here and i have made the sacrifice.
just wondering if these feelings are typical - being stuck somewhere you don't like leading to feeling down.

office is casual but not t shirt and shorts level. think...most guys rock a golf polo. at most a poplin dress shirt tucked into slacks. i prefer to be on the more casual end of the spectrum but am having issues with what exactly to wear that ISN'T a golf polo...maybe just a pique cotton polo? linen shirts? i dk
if so, how are you managing that? i am fairly desperate to leave. my wife is desperate to stay. not something i'd blow up my family about so i am trying to figure out how to navigate.
have a job opportunity in White Plains, NY but haven't visited yet - that comes soon. I am curious for those that are from or have lived there for some time what are your thoughts on the city and the county as a whole? is it on the upswing? any COVID impact still being felt? lay it on me.

my wife and I get along fine. rarely ever fight. we are great parents. still have intimacy BUT we don't have much to talk about on a random Tuesday evening. i mean, sure, we talk about the kids and our days and logistics or about some movie or show we're watching but we hardly ever have any type of deeper conversation.
i am not even sure how to approach that. is this common?
tldr; not glaring issues, really. just a lack of conversation. sometimes feels forced. kind of sad about it.

Hi all — planning a ~5 day, late-summer trip to San Diego with my wife and two young kids (6 and 4-year-old). Coming from New York, I’ve dreamed about the area for years and we’re using this trip to show the family the best of it, with a possible move down the road, so I’d love to see it through both a “vacation” and a “could we live here” lens.
Mainly looking at the North County coast (Encinitas, Carlsbad) but open to wherever makes sense.
Would love advice on:
• Where to stay — a home base that’s good with little kids and gives us a feel for the area (beach town vs. central?)
• Things to do — the genuine highlights with kids that age, beyond the obvious (we’ll likely hit the zoo / Legoland, but what would you show a family?)
• Food — family-friendly spots, but also the places locals actually love
• Neighborhoods to drive through — if we were imagining everyday life here, which areas are worth a look for families?
Trying to experience a normal few days, not just the tourist circuit. Appreciate any and all tips. Thanks!
i mean i feel the quality. and the price, unreal. but they look so silly. they're too wide in the legs and leg opening.
is everyone just rocking these as-is or getting them tailored?

we live in my wife's hometown. born, raised and works here. i am desperate for change but she almost immediately shuts down any conversation of it. becomes defensive, upset, etc.
has anyone dealt with something similar? i feel like im living in a prison sentence instead of life.

if so, do you mind providing your pros and cons? what surprised you? are you happy?
budget: is up to ~$1k/night not including food or other amenities (spa, etc.) and entertainment.
length: 1-2 nights.
timeline: end of May, or anytime in June/July
trying to decide if it's worth traveling somewhere for 1-2 nights or if we should just stay local. looking for a mix of relaxation with other "things to do" - be it restaurants, bars, spas, etc.
we live in Westchester so NYC is the obvious choice but also the hustle, bustle and heat of Manhattan in the late spring/early summer isn't the most relaxing. at any rate, here's a list I've come up with. I am not sold on any of these. thank you!
it seems everyone sings White Plains praises but...i don't think it's for me. for reference, we live in a house in one of the more desirable neighborhoods.
i am considering another town in the county - Pleasantville is up near the top of our list. i am wondering if anyone else has hopped around towns and found something as good/better than White Plains without an astronomical increase in housing costs?
