The U.S. glamping industry is projected to reach a revenue of $1 billion by 2024, and WATG has responded by conceptualizing an experience for guests to explore the joys of nature while fully immersing themselves in the comfort of a luxurious yet sustainable glamping pod.
Envisioned for ultra remote locations, Glam Pods are a solution for overnight guest experiences ranging from a residential property’s backyard guest house to an off-the-grid lifestyle. Inspired by the spiraling coil of a shell, these 40-foot pods offer 300 square feet of total floor area, allowing a living space large enough to accommodate a king-size bed, lounge area and private bathroom.

This year, Macy’s 94th annual Thanksgiving Day Parade will air from 9 a.m. to noon, Thursday, Nov. 26th, on NBC. It will look much like the 2019 parade—on your television set.
But because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the reality on the ground will be very, very different. This year, all activity will be centered on the Herald Square area in Midtown—and the only way to view the event will be on television. Fewer than 2,000 people will work on the parade. Some segments of the program will be filmed over two days, though most of the action will take place live on Thanksgiving Day. Typically, the parade’s large balloons are anchored by up to 100 trained handlers and a vehicle; this year the balloons will be anchored by five specially-rigged vehicles.

America is drinking more of everything, from the finest champagne to the least expensive chardonnay to the mellowest aged bourbon. Liquor stores report record sales, and even QVC, normally a go-to place for kitchen appliances and clothing for many Americans, has begun offering vintage wines.
With so many recreational opportunities shut down during the pandemics, many of us focus on food—and drink. And with the holidays ahead, planning has already begun, for gift-giving, and also for special celebrations that call for cocktails and spirits.
