If you’ve got an extra $2,000 a month hanging around, you might want to drop it on Beacon.

I’m currently flying over Iowa en route to New York (and then Morocco) and writing this using JetBlue’s free Fly-Fi wifi service.

Food magazines are made for different audiences. Every Day with Rachael Ray targets the active mom demographic, Bon Appetit goes for the cool hunter with disposable income, and Food Network Magazine aims for people who get Guy Fieri tattoos on their necks.
