Wednesday night at The Varick Room at Tribeca Cinemas in New York, I celebrated the launch of my new partnership with the legendary Michelin guidebooks on the new “Like a Local”  series. For those of you who couldn’t make it, or missed the Tweet-along during the event, you can see some of the highlights.

Check out the special moments of the evening right here, from the tango performance to the regional food and cocktails that spotlighted the best of these destinations..

I also want to thank all the people who made the event possible, including the excellent team at Michelin Travel  (especially Cynthia Ochterbeck and Alice Searcy Melcher) and my own staffers. A special thank you goes to the Argentina National Institute of Tourism Promotion, Roy Berger and his team from MedJet Assist, Wines of Argentina and QW Wine Experts,  St. Maarten Tourist Bureau, The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism, Grenada Board of Tourism, and the New Orleans Visitors and Convention Bureau.

And, of course, don’t forget to pick up your copies of the Like a Local guides: Buenos Aires (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million), Cuba (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million), Miami (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million), New Orleans (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A Million) and the Caribbean (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million).
