NOBU Caesars Palace

Without fail, dinner at NOBU Caesars Place | @noburestaurants @caesarspalace is the one I look forward to most every year at Oktane and it always delivers.

2026 New York Mets

An absolute dumpster fire of a season but it’s our dumpster fire of a season. The 2026 New York Mets weren’t good but we had some fun this season and we even managed a Polar Bear sighting as the season drew to a close.

US Open, Day 6

There’s nothing quite like LDW Friday at the US Open | @usopen, especially when you’re blessed with absolutely gorgeous weather.

US Open, Day 2

Once again, I braved the TM queue (please clap) and managed to get a ticket for Louis Armstrong Stadium on the first Monday night at the US Open | @usopen. But, before I got there, a last chance to see Stan Wawrinka | @stanwawrinka85 on Grandstand.

US Open Fan Week

It used to be a low-key way to catch some action at the US Open | @usopen but, based on the crowds I encountered during qualies and even on just a practice day, it’s really not low-key. Still, I got to see Kei Nishikori | @keinishikori win one final match in Flushing and Coleman Wong | @coleman_wong practice.

Virgin Atlantic, LHR → JFK

No Upper Class on the return flight but I had an entire bulkhead row to myself so it was close enough. Before the flight, though, a stop at the Centurion Lounge as I figured the meal there would be more substantial than up in the air - and it was.

Blacklock

Happy birthday dinner to me at Blacklock Shoreditch | @blacklockchops, one of my favorite places in London for a solid steak, especially for Butcher Price Monday when every cut is £8 per 100g (normally £11 for prime rib).

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal

Happy (actual) birthday lunch to me at ⭐️⭐️ Dinner by Heston Blumenthal | @dinnerbyhb, a meal I am glad I got to experience before they close in January.

Virgin Atlantic Upper Class, JFK → LHR

The Upper Class experience on VS154, starting on the ground at JFK in the Delta One Lounge and Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse to the flight (where I had second dinner) to, finally, the Virgin Atlantic Revivals Lounge at LHR for a shower and brekkie.
