Where to Go with Your Tax Refund: Chicago

April 14, 2011 at 10:50 AM | by | Comments (0)

Tax day is coming, and you are excited not because you look forward to sifting through receipts and credit card statements, but because you're getting a fat refund...probably. The economy may be on its way back up, but you should try to stretch that tax refund as far as you can.

You will need to scrape together every single dollar that Uncle Sam is giving you for your tax refund this year to hit up Chicago for a trip. Not because Chi-Town is super-expensive—though like any major U.S. city, it's certainly not cheap—but because you'll want to get into famed chef Grant Achatz's Next restaurant. Tickets to the molecular gastronomy expert's new eatery are going for as high as $3,000 a ticket.

Megabus Drives North of the Border with More Canadian Routes and $10 Tickets

April 6, 2011 at 2:19 PM | by | Comment (1)

We love a good budget bus sale, especially when the starting price is $0.01. Sadly this isn't one of those practically-free blowouts, but Megabus has cut rates on their international routes to Canada and routes in Canada down to $10.

Want to head north when the weather warms up? Here's the deal: Megabus has 10,000 seats for $10 on each of its routes between Toronto and Montreal, and between Toronto and Niagara Falls, Ontario and Buffalo, NY. The dates for the discounted seats are between April 20 and June 23—perfect for a little weekend trip to keep things interesting before summer vacation hits.

Duty-Free Shopping: Worth Lugging Around Luxury Goods, or Not?

April 5, 2011 at 1:05 PM | by | Comments (2)

Duty-free is not a bad word. In fact, it can be the sweetest thing you hear at the airport and onboard the plane, but for some reason, we find that it's mostly ignored by economy passengers on international flights to/from the US, when the catalog of goods is worth at least a little look. We still remember when we fell in love with duty-free; it was a Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong, in the middle of which we outfitted ourselves both with new Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner and a prepaid, 3-day unlimited Octopus MTR card for the Hong Kong subways and airport train. There's gold in them there hills!

This week, The Esquire Blog is doing something we should've thought of a while ago: comparing duty-free prices to discounts on the same items from Amazon.com. Do you actually save money while buying Johnny Walker Red Label or a Bulgari watch from the skies, or are the deals sweeter online...?

You may have had your dose of Ireland from St. Patrick's Day earlier in the month, but if you are looking to make the most of your tax refund, you should consider heading out to the Emerald Isle. After all, there's much more to see than pubs full of Guinness.
