The Art of Life in Lisbon

Lisbon is the kind of city where the men’s room at Sky Bar atop Tivoli Avenida Liberdade is housed in a site-specific art installation of shipping containers piled atop the roof—with a vertiginous view overlooking the city’s fabled seven hills all the way down to the Tagus River. Water metaphors welcomed.

Denino’s Pizzeria & Tavern Serves Manhattan’s Best Pie

Pizza is as partisan as politics—with a tribal loyalty similar to professional sports. From thin crust to deep dish, wood-fired to hand-tossed, everyone has an opinion—and a favorite.
