Le Bird Bar

This isn't the Colonel's fried chicken. At Montreal's Le Bird Bar, their made-to-order fried poultry is served with champagne in either a chic, monochrome dining room or in a Playboy-esque lounge with rich velvet seating and a swanky marble bar. Aside from the elevated aesthetics, their star dish sets itself apart with high-quality, free-range birds raised at a local farm along with an eco-chef cooking style that produces up to 60-percent less grease. Chicken is served with a variety of sides that include fries, watermelon salad, or jalapeno cornbread as well as a selection of 13 sauces that range from honey dijon and maple-Sriracha to jerk mayo and truffled white gravy. If fried chicken isn't your thing, their menu also offers fresh oysters, Wagyu Pogo, and a brisket stuffed burger.

The Charter Oak

At The Charter Oak, chef Christopher Kostow departs from his usual fine dining fare for a more simplified experience. Instead of fussy, delicate dishes, think charred, seasonal food. A hearth designed by chef Kostow fills the exposed-brick dining room with the smoky aroma of roasted local meats and vegetables from their 2-and-a-half acre garden. Meals can also be enjoyed al fresco on the expansive patio where dishes are prepared on a custom-built outdoor grill. Plates highlight one or two ingredients at a time and everything is served family-style, so sharing is encouraged.

Four Seasons Private Jet

Four Seasons launched its Private Jet experiences back in 2015. Soon those lucky enough to go on one will get to do so aboard an all-new jet. The custom Airbus A321LR will house only 48 seats, designed by Optimares and covered in Italian leather from Poltrona Frau. The seats fold completely flat for sleeping, and otherwise, each has its own personal ottoman for more comfortable face-to-face engagement. The expanded galley makes it easier for the onboard executive chef to prepare their meals, and the spacious lounge provides room for socialization and interactive workshops. The new jet will take to the air beginning in early 2021.

Black Star Car Wash

It looks a little like the inside of a strip club, but Moscow's best rides don't come to the underground Black Star Car Wash to get dirty — they come to get clean. Greta Project's white light/neon and black interior design makes it easy to spot any areas that need extra attention, while clear shower curtains keep any water from splashing onto just-dried cars. A tastefully appointed cafe gives owners a place to hang out while their vehicles are attended to, with full-height glass letting them keep a watchful eye on the proceedings.

Honest Camper

The Pacific Northwest is filled with rugged terrain best explored up close. Honest Camper gives you the option to go off the beaten path while bringing your accommodations with you. This Vancouver-based service offers both modern and retro camper van rentals, based on either the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or Volkswagen Westfalia, respectively. Both options sleep four, with essentials like a cooktop, pots and pans, a combo fridge/freezer, and folding chairs included. You can pick them up and drop them off at a variety of Translink Skytrain Stations, or arrange to leave them in a totally different city if that's where your adventures take you.

Porsche 50 Years of the 917 Exhibition

Porsche's dominance of endurance racing started in earnest in 1969 with the release of the 917. Powered by an indestructible flat-12, the 917 notched its first win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 with a sweep of the podium. The 917's influence would continue to be felt decades later, with closed-cockpit prototype sportscars bearing a resemblance to the car. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the 917's unveiling at the Geneva Auto Show, Porsche has spent the last year restoring 917-001, the first 917 built, with a team including the some of the original engineers and technicians. Modern technology was used along with the original drawings to analyze and recreate parts where needed and keep those that were still in proper shape. The 917 is to be presented at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, where it will take its place among all the other legendary cars to come from the Porsche factory over the years.

Snake River Sporting Club

Occupying nearly 1,000 acres just 20 miles south of Jackson Hole, the Snake River Sporting Club is an ideal place to rediscover nature. The club offers a wide range of activities depending on the season — golf, horseback riding, hiking, cross-country skiing, archery, skeet shooting, biking, fly fishing, ice skating, kayaking, swimming, tennis, dog sledding, and tubing are all available, many with guides or instructors for beginners. A range of cabins, from one-bedroom tiny homes to a four-bedroom home, are available to rent, and there are also several ownership options for those who wish to stay more often.

Whiskey Bar & Museum Tel Aviv

The world is full of interesting places to have a dram, and this bar/restaurant combined with a museum should be at the top of every whiskey drinker's list. Whiskey Bar & Museum is located in Tel Aviv, Israel in the historic Templer tunnel - which housed a local winery in the 19th century and most recently was home to Israel's intelligence agency. It's as much an underground lair as it is a bar, with over 1,000 whiskeys from legendary Scottish distillers to upstarts in Hong Kong and India. Guests can sample from the wall of whiskey or make a dinner reservation and choose from a menu featuring dishes designed to pair with and augment whiskey flavors.

Supercar Owners Circle

Owning just one supercar isn't going to get you into this exclusive club. With membership capped at 150 individuals, each with a personal stable value averaging $25 Million, the Supercar Owners Circle is an elite group. Founded by former Swiss financier Florian Lemberger, this network hosts curated events around the globe, at which its members get to immerse themselves in supercar culture, learn more about the host area, and, of course, get to have some fun in their street-legal racers. Membership includes other benefits and perks, nearly all of which are unique to the club, and while the number of members is capped, you can still apply to attend an event should you and your car pass muster — which is easier said than done.

Mile-Long Shot Adventure

Some of the best sharpshooters to ever live have never hit a half-mile shot. Now you have a chance to hit the target from a full mile away with Jackson Hole Shooting Experience's "Nomad Rifleman" experience. Working with world-class long-range shooters, the class has a 98 percent success rate and takes place on a ranch near Jackson, Wyoming. It takes a full day, during which you'll spend time at the sheltered shooting platform, moving from smaller caliber guns and closer targets out and up to your ultimate goal. At a sea level of over 7,000 feet, the air has less effect on the bullet than at lower elevations, making it that much easier to join a "One Mile Club" that includes well under 10,000 members. Should you succeed, you'll get a "Proof of Hit" commemorating your achievement.

Blancaneaux Lodge

Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola knows a great location when he sees one, and he instantly fell in love with the Belizean setting of Blancaneaux Lodge. Purchased and used as a personal retreat, he's now opened it to the public. Scattered across the site are twenty discreet thatched roof dwellings, set along a river where waterfalls tumble into swimming holes above the jungle canopy. Each of the cabañas, villas, and cottages offer access to the natural waters, fresh water infinity pool, the relaxing Jaguar Bar, and the Montagna and Guatemaltecqua restaurants serving traditional Italian and locally-inspired fare, respectively. While the lodge's setting is certainly dramatic, equally so are the nearby ancient Mayan Ruins, which you can explore during your stay with the help of Coppola's team of expert adventure guides.

Mammoth Dunes Golf Course

The second 18-hole layout at Wisconsin's Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes might be the best new course of 2018. It was conceived by Scottish architect David McLay Kidd — best known for his groundbreaking work at Bandon Dunes — and takes full advantage of its unique setting. Occupying 500 acres, it does an excellent job balancing challenge with enjoyment, thanks to an imaginative design that incorporates touches like a boomerang green, massive rolling fairways, and even a bunker built around the foundation of a settlement home from the early 1900s.

Fenway Park Batting Practice Experience

Home to the Boston Red Sox since 1912, Fenway Park is the oldest park left in Major League Baseball and is one of the most well-known sports venues in the world. For the first time ever, the franchise is offering a hospitality experience where groups of 20 can watch pre-game batting practice from an exclusive section inside the center-field warning track, snagging balls while the Sox take their swings at the iconic Green Monster. Fans also get tickets to watch the game from the first and second rows of the left-field pavilion, in-game private concessions, and commemorative baseball gloves to take home.

Four Seasons World of Adventures Trip

Building on the success of their inaugural Around the World Tour, the Four Seasons is firing up their custom Boeing 757 for a 24-day adventure. Taking off from Seattle, the highly-limited tour touches down for a history lesson in Kyoto, Japan, and includes relaxing, informative, and/or invigorating stops in Seychelles, Rwanda, Marrakech, Bogota, the Galapagos Islands, and a final stop in Miami. Ground-based accommodations will be fittingly luxurious, while the unparalleled in-flight experience includes Italian leather flat-bed seats, an onboard chef, and concierge. The adventure begins on October 23, 2019.

Axiom Space Station

The privately funded followup to the ISS, Axiom Space Station will aim to make working in space more commonplace. The Philippe Starck-designed interior includes nest-like cabins with Earth-facing windows, plenty of research areas, and the largest window observatory ever constructed for space. It's expected to be up and running by the time the ISS is retired in 2024, and unlike the ISS, you'll be able to book 7-10 day trips to the Axiom once it's completed.

The Macallan Distillery

The Macallan has been making Scotch whisky on the same Easter Elchies estate since 1824. Its new distillery won't change that, but it's a far cry from its humble beginnings. Designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, the $186 million facility is incredibly high-tech, with a green roof, energy needs that are met by 95% sustainable sources, and the most complicated timber roof structure in the world, with more than 380,000 elements. The new stills, the largest copper order ever for the industry, are perfect replicas of the originals, making it impossible to discern whether a whisky was distilled at the new facility or the old. Should you visit, you'll certainly have the chance to try: the bar will stock a staggering 952 different expressions, and even the standard tour includes four drams to sample.

White Desert Antarctic Adventures

A trip to the bottom of the world requires a bit more planning than simply buying a ticket and packing a bag. Cape Town-based White Desert Antarctic Adventures can help. Their itineraries — all of which include the world's only private jet service to the continent — range from a single day trip to Wolfs Fang peak to an eight-day excursion that features stops at an Emperor Penguin colony and the geographic South Pole. All multi-day trips take advantage of the company's sustainable Whichaway Camp, a collection of dome-shaped structures that combine high-tech materials with old-world luxury.
