New year, new chance to be physically fit and fiscally responsible. But then again, there’s always next year. Yeah, next year sounds good. So, plan on that, and in the meantime, do this.
You’ve got all of 2014 to relax quietly at home. So when that gets old, try inhabiting the Ritz’s biggest suite. You’ll get 2,385 square feet to stretch out, plus access to the hotel’s chauffeured Bentley, should you need a ride. Make up a reason if necessary.
You’ve got your perfectly reasonable filets and T-bones. No shame in splurging for those on occasion. And then you’ve got your perfectly marbled, highly coveted, $45-per-ounce Omi beef that’s only available at Nick & Sam’s. No shame in... supporting Japan’s export market.
Buying a dependable, fuel-efficient hybrid... sure, that sounds smart. But renting a Lamborghini Aventador for the day... well, that’s also smart. Because you can’t put a price tag on 700 horses of straightaway-conquering freedom. Wait, yes you can.
Maybe you’d like to drink a bit less this year. Maybe you’d like to swim in a tub of margaritas. For the latter, book the Texas Spa Day at the Crescent. It includes a full day of hot-stone massages, body scrubs and a soak in their lime-infused margarita bath. Salted rim optional.
Fruits and leafy greens should probably be somewhere on your menu for 2014. But so should Pop-Tarts. Specifically, Pop-Tarts at Dallas Beer Kitchen. They’re oven roasted and topped with vanilla bean ice cream. You know, for garnish.
