Nina Willdorf, Editor in Chief
In this photo, I was…Taking my first flight with my infant daughter. (Total success.)I won't leave home without…At least 6 magazines, earplugs, and two hairbrushes
My favorite cup of coffee is…Blue Bottle in San Francisco
My best road trip was…Highway 1 in California, a couple months before having my daughter; it was late summer, the light was just right, and everything was cast in this hazy glow

Travelers in New York City have historically had several options to get from town to the three major airports—cab, train or subway. Soon there will be a new way—one-way car rentals—but we're not sure it's such a bargain.
