Ferrari Roma Spider

A cursory peek at Ferrari’s newest convertible may belie its country of origin. Without a yellow logo with the rearing horse on its flanks, the Roma Spider’s long, sloped hood and short, tapered tail might evoke a body language that is very British. That rising pair of muscled rear fenders and a driving position behind the car’s centerline may appear like the sultry GTs that Aston Martin, Bentley and Jaguar have made since the 1960s. What is a Ferrari doing with these curves?

Quinine Water

Next time you squash a mosquito also remember to thank it. After all, the annoying bloodsuckers played a part in the creation of one of summer’s greatest libations: the tart, bracing, yet always refreshing Gin & Tonic.

The Custom Shirt

One look at a beach in the summer is all it takes to understand that humans have considerably different builds, with only a few blessed with bodies that resemble models or mannequins.

Winnetu Oceanside Resort, Martha's Vineyard

History is never far away on this fabled island off the coast of Massachusetts—from the colorful Victorian gingerbread cottages of Oak Bluffs to the stately 19thcentury homes of whaling captains in Edgartown to the quaint lighthouses to its antique carousel.

Ceramic Watches

Durable, lightweight, soft-to-the-touch, highly scratch-resistant and ever popular, high-tech ceramic is alluring to watchmakers, yet a challenge to work with.

Drive A Tank

At more than 3,000 pounds, a Chevy Malibu is a formidable vehicle with a crash-safety test rating of five-stars. But against a 60-ton Chieftain tank, it’s a mere speed bump. That is, if speed bumps came with the sound of crunched steel and shattered glass. Driving a tank that’s the weight of 20 Cadillac Escalades over a junked auto is the “Crush a Car” option of Drive A Tank, the Minnesota facility that offers customers maximal military sensations you’d otherwise have to enlist to experience.

Salvatore Calabrese • BARTENDER • Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2

To become a world-famous bartender it helps to start early. That’s what Salvatore “the Maestro” Calabrese did. He was 11 when he first worked behind a bar in Maiori, Italy. His career would eventually take him across the globe, opening many illustrious watering holes, creating renowned cocktails and earning a knighthood. His Savoy bar opened in Florence in April.

Mark Cho • CLOTHIER AND ENTREPRENEUR • Davidoff No. 2

A tailor at the top of his profession is a true craftsman. But to do what Mark Cho does requires one to be an artist, an entrepreneur and an impresario of sorts, especially in the evolving world of menswear. The London-raised 42-year-old is cofounder of The Armoury, a bespoke haberdashery with locations in New York and Hong Kong. His talents extend to sourcing the world’s finest fabrics, enlisting the industry’s top tailors and bringing them together for discerning customers in search of sartorial greatness.
