Try the crispy chicken thigh karaage, fried in a feather-light batter and doused with a tangy chile-honey sauce. The sweet-and-spicy interplay feels like some of the fried chicken glazes you might find in Koreatown. At brunch, try the tamagoyaki-style omelet, an oval spiral of luminous golden eggs sliced and crowned with shaved Comté, chives, and cracked black pepper.

The St. Regis Venice, named among the best hotels in Venice in Travel + Leisure's 2025 World's Best Awards, originally opened as the Grand Hotel Britannia in 1895, in concert with the city's inaugural Biennale cultural festival. In 2019, following a two-year renovation and restoration of the five 17th-century Venetian palaces that comprise the property, it joined the St. Regis brand.

Many years ago, a sober-minded friend warned me off going to Venice for the first time with my then partner. He muttered ominous things about the Venice wobble and the Venice curse. I went anyway and I have to say he had a point. It was autumn and there was something deeply uncanny about the city: fog-bound canals, labyrinthine alleyways, a general sense of decay. If my minibreak had belonged to a literary genre, it wouldn't have been romance so much as cosmic horror.

You can't say Redondo Union girls' volleyball coach Tommy Chaffins is playing a cupcake schedule. On the contrary, he's having his team face one top opponent after another in nonleague matches. Last week, the Sea Hawks (12-1) handed Marymount its first defeat, then beat defending Southern Section champion Mater Dei. Next up is a Tuesday showdown at home against Sierra Canyon, considered this year's Division 1 favorite once the Trailblazers get their sit-out period transfer players eligible on Saturday.

Emily in Paris will film in Venice for part of Season 5 starting August 5-15, as announced by Veneto governor Luca Zaia during a location scouting.

"The wedding generated an estimated €957.3 million, or about $1.1 billion, in total economic value for Venice, showcasing its impact on local tourism."

The Bezos-Sánchez wedding showcased the high-profile nature of celebrity nuptials, marked by strict security and limited access for those not on the guest list.

Sweeney embodied Italian summer glamour while putting a flirty twist on a wardrobe staple. She wore a little black romper that resembled a classic LBD, essentially inventing the LBR.

Sources reveal that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have been married for over a month, despite their high-profile wedding celebrations taking place in Venice.

Jeff Bezos has donated €1m each to three organizations in Venice focused on climate change research, raising questions about the city’s ongoing struggles with tourism and depopulation.
