Some times you’re just having one of those days. The only answer — besides elaborate revenge on your boss that can’t be traced back to you in case it backfires spectacularly — is sugar. These are just a few of the desserts that have already made March a better place to be in the Land…
If you’ve got an extra $2,000 a month hanging around, you might want to drop it on Beacon. It’s an all-you-can-fly service (if you want all-you-can-eat, click here) in the Northeast US that gives unlimited flights on private planes from New York/Boston/The Hamptons/Nantucket to anyone with a membership.
