![<p>My favorite day in Sydney was spent hiking the Manly Scenic Walk on the northeast side of the harbor. Most people do the walk from Manly Cove to the Spit Bridge, which makes for a 10-kilometer, one-way trip. I tacked on a few extra kilometers to start at Shelly Beach, a picturesque cove on the southwest end of Manly Surf Beach. The walk took all day— including lunch and a swim break—but it was one of the most interesting day hikes I've ever experienced. From Shelly Beach, the path climbs a flight of stairs surrounded by jungle foliage before alternating between idyllic neighborhoods, clifftop bushland, secluded beaches, and more rainforest. Along the way, you’ll see tropical flowers and eucalyptus trees as well as many colorful birds and the area’s ubiquitous “water dragon” lizards. As soon as you feel hungry, you’ll likely encounter a beach cafe such as the cabana at Little Manly Cove that serves great paninis. White sand beaches with turquois waters are the norm, and the path spits you out onto many that you would have otherwise never found. When you finally reach the Spit Bridge, you’ll be filled with accomplishment and the feeling that you covered a lot more than just a dozen kilometers.Manly is accessible by ferry, bus, or car. The trail is pretty well marked, but maps are available at the visitor’s information center at the Manly Wharf. If you plan to do the whole walk, be sure to pack sunblock, snacks, layers, a hat, and plenty of water. </p>]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAhFV0M.img?h=426&w=948&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&x=235&y=341","size3column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAhFV0M.img?h=426&w=624&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&x=235&y=341","size2column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAhFV0M.img?h=250&w=300&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&x=235&y=341"} "My favorite day in Sydney was spent hiking the Manly Scenic Walk on the northeast side of the harbor... - Provided by AFAR")

![<p>My favorite day in Sydney was spent hiking the Manly Scenic Walk on the northeast side of the harbor. Most people do the walk from Manly Cove to the Spit Bridge, which makes for a 10-kilometer, one-way trip. I tacked on a few extra kilometers to start at Shelly Beach, a picturesque cove on the southwest end of Manly Surf Beach. The walk took all day— including lunch and a swim break—but it was one of the most interesting day hikes I've ever experienced. From Shelly Beach, the path climbs a flight of stairs surrounded by jungle foliage before alternating between idyllic neighborhoods, clifftop bushland, secluded beaches, and more rainforest. Along the way, you’ll see tropical flowers and eucalyptus trees as well as many colorful birds and the area’s ubiquitous “water dragon” lizards. As soon as you feel hungry, you’ll likely encounter a beach cafe such as the cabana at Little Manly Cove that serves great paninis. White sand beaches with turquois waters are the norm, and the path spits you out onto many that you would have otherwise never found. When you finally reach the Spit Bridge, you’ll be filled with accomplishment and the feeling that you covered a lot more than just a dozen kilometers.Manly is accessible by ferry, bus, or car. The trail is pretty well marked, but maps are available at the visitor’s information center at the Manly Wharf. If you plan to do the whole walk, be sure to pack sunblock, snacks, layers, a hat, and plenty of water. </p>]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAhFV0M.img?h=64&w=85&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=235&y=341"} "My favorite day in Sydney was spent hiking the Manly Scenic Walk on the northeast side of the harbor... - Provided by AFAR")

![<p>It's more than just a game. For most of us, the <a href="http://www.popsugar.com/latest/Super-Bowl">Super Bowl</a> is a day to gather with our friends, <a href="http://www.popsugar.com/food/Super-Bowl-Recipe-Guide-21608107">indulge in salty snacks</a>, and watch <a href="http://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Lady-Gaga-Performing-2017-Super-Bowl-Halftime-Show-42411929">a star-filled halftime show</a> during a big football game. But ask anyone who's ever been to the Super Bowl and they can tell you that the experience extends well beyond the confines of the stadium where it is being played. The Super Bowl is an experience that begins several days before the big game and doesn't end until the wee hours after the Vince Lombardi trophy is handed to the winning team. Even the players who are appearing in the big game aren't aware of just how big it is, "When you're playing, you just don't know," legendary NFL cornerback Deion Sanders told me at an event celebrating the countdown to the big day. "When you retire, you're like, 'They're doing all this!'" </p><p>And "all this" is more than you can imagine. It's concerts with top talent, tailgates with food from James Beard-winning chefs, Q&As with NFL legends, and more. "Now it's not just about the game," Sanders explained. "It's about the experience, and that can be a lifelong memory that you can share with your friends, your kids, your co-workers, or your family."</p><p>So you want to experience all there is to be had during Super Bowl LI in Houston this year? It's easier than you think. You don't need to know someone who knows someone - you just need to be willing to pay for access. <a href="http://nflonlocation.com/">NFL On Location Experiences</a>, the NFL's hospitality spin-off, has put together a weekend of food, music, and parties that just may be more exciting than anything happening inside Houston's NRG Stadium. The organization is expertly merging sports and entertainment to create the experience of a lifetime. Oh, and did I mention that it is partially owned by Jon Bon Jovi - yes, that Jon Bon Jovi - so you know the music lineup is going to be top notch. </p><p>So what's in store for this Super Bowl weekend in 2017?

![<p>One of the best things to do on a vacation is experience at least some of it like those who live there. Whenever I travel, I try to ask cab drivers, waiters, and retail clerks for recommendations on food and things to do. When I recently went to London, I asked the concierge at my hotel, the <a href="http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/united-kingdom/the-waldorf-hilton-london-LONWAHI/index.html">Waldorf Hilton Hotel London</a>, for recommendations on experiencing London like a true Londoner. Unsurprisingly, Scott Williams, the concierge, had some advice and some reservations. </p><p>London is an amazing city where you'll definitely have a lot of fun, whether you're a total tourist or you venture beyond the obvious and try something completely new.</p><p>"If I tell you all the good spots, then they aren't sacred for locals anymore," he shared with me. And you know what, he's right. And while he did give me a couple great tips to keep for myself, he also gave me even more to share with our readers.</p><p>I contacted the hotel before my visit to give the concierge a heads-up that I wanted a plan going in, and that's something <a href="http://www.popsugar.com/smart-living/What-Can-Hotel-Concierge-Do-42671686">the concierge recommends you do</a> so they can provide you with a well-researched and complete plan for your visit. I told Scott I had a couple days in the city and I wanted to experience it as a tourist as well as a local. When I arrived in London, he had a list of places to eat at, things to do, and where to go all curated for me. </p><p>His advice to me, beyond seeing these true London places, was to make sure to not cut myself short on seeing the touristy areas. "You should experience the history here; there are so many things to see," he told me. "You could go down to Westminster, see that, take a boat out to Greenwich and see that, and you can fill a whole day." And while yes, it may be tourist attractions, it's still beautiful London that should not be missed.</p><p>In the end, I spent five days in London shopping at some hidden local boutiques as well as huge department stores, eating fish and chips with the best of them, and forever looking in the wrong direction before crossing the road as a pedestrian. I was absolutely a tourist attempting to look like a local, and I felt like I achieved moderate success when someone stopped me to ask me for directions. She was probably just really lost and desperate, but I like to think it was because I looked like I knew what I was doing. </p><p>At any rate, take this as a tourist's best guess at how to be a local in a city you don't actually live in. No matter what, London is an amazing city where you'll definitely have a lot of fun, whether you're a total tourist or you venture beyond the obvious and try something completely new.</p><p>Related:<br><a href="http://www.popsugar.com/smart-living/What-Do-London-Three-Days-41515876">3 Days in London: What to Do, See, and Eat!</a></p> <p> 7 Photos: View as Gallery | View as Slideshow</p>]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBy5Rkf.img?h=64&w=85&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=737&y=978"} "One of the best things to do on a vacation is experience at least some of it like those who live the... - POPSUGAR Photography / Hedy Phillips")
![<p>Anyone who’s anyone in Hollywood has spent a summer - or at least a summer weekend - in the Hamptons, a group of towns on the East End of Long Island notoriously synonymous with decadence, white parties, and bougie beach days. But LA imports aren’t the only ones spending time on the beaches of this summer retreat - nor are “celebrities;” TV and film stars set up shop alongside Wall Street billionaires, professional athletes, and a small population of loyal locals. Today’s residents - including Martha Stewart, Sean Combs, Jennifer Lopez, and Gwyneth Paltrow, who all own second (or third, or fourth) homes in the Hamptons - are helping to pave the next chapter of a tradition that reaches back into the late 1800s, when the <strong>New York Times</strong> <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9501E5DD103BEF33A25754C2A9639C94629ED7CF&legacy=true">compared the destination to the Garden of Eden</a>.</p><p><strong>Where to stay:</strong> <a href="http://gurneysmontauk.com">Gurney’s Montauk</a> embodies the Hamptons’ classic elegance in its oceanfront location, 2,000-foot private beach, and scenic dining room.</p>]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBy4Xpk.img?h=64&w=85&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=1256&y=745"} "Anyone who’s anyone in Hollywood has spent a summer - or at least a summer weekend - in the Hamptons... - Courtesy of Gurney's Montauk")

![** ADVANCE FOR USE SUNDAY, JAN 14, 2007 **FILE ** Timothy Leary, center, is shown in this file photo leading 15,000 persons in a song Sunday, Jan. 15, 1967 in San Francisco. Leary made his first San Francisco appearance in 1967 at the Human Be-in, a counterculture event that unofficially launched San Francisco's summer of love. In many ways, the '60s as we now know them began on Jan. 14, 1967.
