As spotted on The Daily News two men entered the Westfield Market Place at the corner of 10th Ave. and W. 48th St. in the Hell’s Kitchen section of Manhattan on Saturday, December 5. The footage shows both individuals dressed in all black attire and one promptly pulled out a pistol demanding any money in the house. The poor worker, who is said to be only 17-years-old, was forced to empty the register and even the tip jar. The jux was a failure to say the least as they only got about $100 dollars. Thankfully no one was harmed in the robbery. You can view the surveillance video belo...
Our favourite inspirational travel quotes that encouraged us to travel – with abandon – over the years. Maybe they will do the same for you… For us, there is no such thing as luxury travel; travel is, by default, a luxury. It is a privilege provided by the country of our birth, a privilege that many are not as fortunate to enjoy.

It is absurd, it is astonishing, and it is a luxury. When I first went travelling at 21 years old, my father gave me this quote scrawled on a piece of card. Atlas & Boots One of the most inspirational travel quotes ever penned It motivated me to get out, make the most of my privilege, see the world an...

The most dangerous countries in the world to visit in 2021 have been revealed in the latest Travel Risk Map Now in its 12th year, the Travel Risk Map is an interactive tool produced by security specialists at International SOS.

Source: Astrid Stawiarz / Getty Lifetime is blessing fans with a biopic of Wendy Williams and the accompanying trailer looks like the flick is holding nothing back from her controversial life story. Starring The Oval actress Ciera Payton as the messy media maven, the film chronicles her ascent from her early days as an ambitious radio jockey to her daytime TV show, and tackles all the juicy drama in between it all. Fans will recognize stories of her legendary radio interview with the late Whitney Houston, her battle with coke addiction, the infamous on-air fainting spell, and her failed marriage with ex-husband and known philander, Kevin Hunter. That story could probably have its own Lifetime film treatment. If you recall, Hunter was involved in a longtime relationship with a mistres...

Rap royalty Run the Jewels have linked up with the rockers of Royal Blood for the new remix “The Ground Below (Royal Jewels Mix)”. “The Ground Below” is the ninth track on RTJ4, and it was already built around crunchy guitars that came courtesy of Gang of Four’s “Ether”. But the original mix kept the strings in the background, the better to accent those thumping drums. Now, the “Royal Jewels Mix” flips that script, easing off the percussion and placing a more muscular guitar front-and-center. RB vocalist Mike Kerr sings the refrain “Your love never meant much to me!” and provides some heavenly “Oohs!” Check out “The Ground Below (Royal Jewels Mix)” below. RTJ4 is one of our favorite albums of 2020, and the Jewels aren’t resting on their laurels. Last month, Killer Mike and...
