The Hamptons, that well-known summer camp for the rich and famous, are bordered by windswept beaches, rustic fishing piers and a plethora of artisanal eateries. Hard to believe they’re less than 100 miles from Manhattan.

Three Perfect Days, Buenos Aires, Argentina
After visiting Buenos Aires in March 1925, Albert Einstein offered one of his less celebrated theories. The Argentine capital, he declared, was “a comfortable city, but rather boring.” (Some of us think theoretical physics is boring—so perhaps it really is all relative.) In any case, few modern visitors would share Einstein’s assessment. The city, which is often described— and rightly so—as the most European in Latin America, is admittedly a little rough around the edges. But boring? Not on your life.

Three Perfect Days, Washington DC
No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, it’s hard to deny that excitement has gripped Washington, D.C. As the locals well know, a changeover of administration always brings a new electricity to what is, after all a “company town,” and the city always seems to puts on its best face to welcome the newcomers and to send off the old guard. Visitors to the city these days will find more choices than ever, from iconic buildings, monuments and museums to world-class restaurants, shops and historic neighborhoods, not to mention nature walks along the leafy banks of the Potomac River. So politics aside, there has never been a better time to take in the nation’s capital.

Three Perfect Days, Singapore
Cautiously, cleverly, Singapore is shrugging off the stodgy mantle it’s worn for decades and morphing into a cool, even chic, place to live it up in Asia. Forget the old jokes about chewing gum and caning. The ambitious city-state is wooing the global glitterati with flourishes like the world’s first Formula One night race and a sparkling new casino resort in the heart of the city. This is a place for good food and a colourful cultural mix, heavily Asian but with an increasingly international zest as well.
