“Down to the deceptively modest-sounding side dish of cucumber, dill, white grapes, and almonds, my recent dinner at Chicago’s ­Michelin-starred Boka was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. ­Giuseppe Tentori’s creations are farm fresh and unpretentiously inventive.”—Virginia VanZanten, Associate Editor

“Who needs jewelry when you’re carrying a Jill Milan Art Deco clutch? Made entirely by hand in Florence by one of Europe’s most prestigious jewelers, it’s somewhere between an oversize cigarette case and an exquisite work of art—and there are currently only 20 of them in the world.”—Roseann Marulli Rodriguez, Assistant Managing Editor
