Hot Hotel Trend
Suites that come with complimentary supercars. Book the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort's CEO Experience and you'll get a Ferrari F430 Spider to go with your three-bedroom presidential suite ($10,000 a night, hilton.com). We road-tested the InterContinental London Park Lane's Aston Martin Leisure Weekend ($832 a night, intercontinental.com). The deluxe suite and dinner for two at Theo Randall in the hotel blew our mind (try the Scottish scallops), as did the Steam Temple at the spa. And trust us, there's no better way to see London than from inside the cockpit of a DB9.
Gimlet
The gimlet is making its way back onto bar menus this summer. We like Raymond Chandler's recipe from The Long Goodbye: "A real gimlet is half gin and half Rose's Lime Juice and nothing else." Shake a shot of each with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass.
Roller Coaster
Kings Dominion theme park in Virginia this season debuts the Dominator, the world's longest floorless roller coaster (4,210 feet). Crest the opening lift and you fly down a 157-foot drop, hitting 65 mph as you head into an upside-down loop. It's BYOH -- bring your own helmet.
Leisure Sport
We like summer sports that allow you to participate while holding a cold drink in your hand. Work up a no-sweat in your backyard with Perfetta's handcrafted Italian Pro Bocce Set ($200, dwr.com). How do you make two polite old Italian men scream "fuck"? Roll your ball closest to the pallino.
