Lisbon Guide

I became friends with Randy Poster when we did The Royal Tenenbaums together—I acted, he did the music supervision. Randy has parlayed his talent for discovering and appreciating music into a real job! (Selecting songs for films.) Many of the films he has worked on have become ...

Beijing Scrapbook

I had always wanted to visit mainland China, so when I was invited to Beijing to perform at an event, I jumped at the very generous invitation. It was a brief but memorable trip and I’ve gathered the highlights here....

Emmys Scrapbook

So nearly two weeks ago, getting everyone settled in back to school mode, I woke up to a huge surprise: I had won a Creative Arts Emmy for my guest role on Glee! This was especially meaningful, as my father (who made great TV shows back in the day—"The White Shadow", "St. Elsew...

Scrapbook from the Venice Film Festival (Contagion Premiere)

Hello lovely readers! I’m just back from a delightfully laborious Labor Day weekend in Venice, Italy, where I was in attendance for the premiere of the excellent film, Contagion. It was just over 48 hours of jam-packed happenings and the food was sublime. Below is my little scr...

Chicago

I took a quick trip to Chicago to visit my bf from high school and man, was it great. I always love a visit to the Windy City and this time I made some amazing new discoveries and visited some old favorites, a few of which are detailed below, as well as some suggestions from a co...

Hong Kong

I spent just a few days in Hong Kong in October while on set for a film. The city is frenetic and crazy but has an incredible energy. It’s a magical place and I hope to visit again sometime soon. In the meantime, here’s my list of great spots for a whirlwind visit. Happy Ch...

New Orleans

This week we bring you a thoroughly researched piece on New Orleans by our very first guest editor, Michael Stipe. Aside from being the frontman in one of the most innovative and brilliant bands of all time, R.E.M., Michael is an obsessed foodie like the rest of us here at GOOP. ...

San Francisco

This week’s GO on San Francisco is brought to you not only by myself, but by my local friends who I always consult when I am planning a trip there. Kelly, Erin, and Christy, the magnificent Turlington sisters, are Bay Area natives and always point me in the good stuff’s direc...

Nashville Part II

This week’s chock-full letter follows up on last week’s skinny on Nashville eats, drinks and general fun...Below, you will find destinations for shopping, health and beauty, and (most importantly for the moms among us) great things to do with your kids....

NASHVILLE

I just spent a few months living and working in Nashville, Tennessee which was an incredible experience. As I’m apt to do, I researched, ate, drank, tried, and asked my way around the city ‘til I found the best spots it has to offer. Never have I met such warm people, heard s...

London Update

A couple of new favorite finds and the best spots to pick up your dinner ingredients in this beautiful city....

Marrakesh

I just took a very impromptu first trip to Marrakesh, Morocco where I fell in love with the place, it's magic. An absolute world away in almost every respect, there is something special in the air there. It is a place I will surely revisit. Through mutual friends, we befriended t...

Most Memorable Meals Out

This week I get the answer to a question that I often ponder: In our world of incredible chefs and restaurants, where have those that are most impressive been the most impressed?...

LA Update

I spent most of last spring and summer in Los Angeles doing lots of work and eating some incredible food...from the new phenomenon of the gourmet taco truck, to the tucked away neighborhood spots to the latest Suzanne Goin...the LA food is quietly and unpretentiously on fuego....

Barcelona

Barcelona is a city full of wonder and beauty. I first went when I was 19 years old, with some train money and a backpack and not much else. I fell in love with the city’s passion for life, its food, culture, and of course, its architecture. Where else can you surf in the morni...

Kid-Friendly Restaurants

How often do we long to take our kids somewhere where the food is as good for us as it is for them? I have experienced one too many gut bombs while my kids happily munch away on their themed pizza. I have almost lost it trying to make them sit still while I partake in something m...

Paris

When I was ten years old, my father and I took a trip to Paris, leaving my younger brother and mother in London where she was filming a movie. My dad believed in one-on-one time with us, and sometimes that extended to a weekend away. We stayed at a great hotel and he said I could...

New York

As much as I am a product of many places, I am a New York girl through and through. I did most of my growing up in this glorious city and it is a part of who I am. I was an uptown kid and a downtown grownup and this duality helps define me. I still get an indescribable buzz when ...

Los Angeles

Los Angeles, where I was born and partially raised, will always hold a special place in my heart. Not the L.A. of Hollywood, but the old-school seventies beach vibe which still lingers in corners. As strange, spread out and flatly lit as it can sometimes be, Los Angeles, with its...

London

As some of you may know, I spend the school year here in London and I have done for awhile now. Moving to a foreign city for part of the year has been incredible and continues to be a great experience. When nothing is familiar, you are constantly observing, asking questions an...
