This New York landmark was voted one of the best places to watch the sunset
Golden hour just got a New York-sized endorsement. The Brooklyn Bridge—a true titan of Gotham's skyline—was recently named one of the top 50 places in the U.S. to watch the sunset, landing at #31 in a national ranking compiled by car rental site SIXT. The list, which analyzed more than 200 scenic spots across the country, weighed everything from TikTok searches and Instagram hashtags to Google trends and air quality metrics. While Wyoming's Calcite Springs Overlook snagged the top spot, New York's most iconic span made a strong showing—and frankly, no one does a sunset strut like New York City. Built in 1883 and long celebrated as a marvel of engineering and Gothic Revival design, the Brooklyn Bridge connects Manhattan and Brooklyn via a pedestrian promenade with some of the best skyline views in town. And when golden hour hits, it's an amber-hued spectacle worthy of a Spike Lee dolly shot. According to SIXT's data, the Brooklyn Bridge garners more than 550,000 monthly Google searches and racks up over 441,000 TikTok searches. That's a lot of people chasing sunset clout—and they're not wrong. As the sun dips behind the Manhattan skyline, the bridge turns molten gold, casting reflections across the East River and lighting up Lady Liberty in the distance. Whether you're biking across its wooden planks, catching the glow from Brooklyn Bridge Park or snapping selfies mid-promenade, there's no bad angle. And science says it's good for you: Studies show that watching sunsets can reduce stress, improve mood and even boost feelings of gratitude. While New York City didn't crack the top 10 overall, the bridge held its own against national parks, remote lighthouses and Hawaiian volcanoes. That's no small feat for a city better known for smog than sunsets.

Finally, a Protein Powder That Doesn't Taste Disgusting
After more than a decade working in the wellness world, I can tell you one thing for certain: Most wellness-related food tastes disgusting. Health may equal wealth, but it certainly does not mean delicious. So when my divinely chic (and also, quite ripped) coworker Mark Guiducci asked if I had heard of Ka'chava Protein powder, I'll confess: I rolled my eyes internally. Yes, I had heard of it—advertisements for the brand had popped up during podcasts, which I skipped through—but had I tried it? No. I wasn't even remotely interested. But it's funny how influencing literally works…Guiducci, my own influencer in question, had spotted it in a cool friend's kitchen and had given it a try. So now, I was interested in trying. I've always associated protein powders with the toddler-sized black tubs of yore. Something both decidedly un-sexy and bulky, which I simply didn't have room for inside my New York-sized apartment. But Ka'chava feels different: Starting with the pastel-colored flexi-bag packaging. Guiducci jokingly calls the duck egg blue, mint, and lilac-toned packaging 'pura vida branded,' but that's exactly it. It's the quiet luxury-ification of protein powder. And then there's the actual powder itself. The five flavors (chocolate, vanilla, matcha, coconut acai, and chai) have almost hard to believe, work-smarter-not-harder claims. Protein! Iron! Electrolytes! Vitamins E, C, and D! Magnesium! Two scoops are a veritable who's who of my supplement cabinet. Guiducci and I have his-and-hers approaches to working Ka'chava protein powder into our daily routines. 'I like the chocolate or vanilla flavors very bare bones,' he says. 'Just ice, water, and creatine powder. I go for three scoops to make it a bit richer. It's the perfect snack between lunch and dinner.' My scoops and flavor depend on my mood. Much like my coworker, I stick to the classic chocolate and vanilla flavors: Vanilla integrates well into overnight oats and smoothies, while chocolate tastes best on its own. And while I've never gone as intense as three scoops, I usually find one heaping scoop or two in the morning boosts my energy for until lunch—and most importantly, tastes good.

Bet the Under on Aaron Judge's home run total for 2025
Just five months ago, Juan Soto hit a dramatic, two-out, two-strike, three-run home run to break a 2-2 tie in the ninth inning of Game 5 of the ALCS. That helped send the New York Yankees to their first World Series in 15 years. For Yankees fans, it was as good as it gets — perhaps more than they could imagine at the moment. But then, the Yankees lost the World Series to the Dodgers. They let multiple leads in Game 1 slip away, including being one out away from a win when they surrendered a walk-off grand slam to Freddie Freeman. That series ended with the Yankees once again blowing multiple leads, this time in Game 5. In that game, New York led 5-0 in the fifth inning, before multiple errors on seemingly routine plays led to the undoing. That allowed the Dodgers to tie the game. The Yankees would pull ahead later in the contest, only to relinquish that lead as well and cost themselves a chance to return to Los Angeles for Game 6. As painful as the finish to the season was for the Yankees, this offseason has seen the wound of the World Series get treated with a New York-sized dose of salt. In December, the aforementioned Soto decided to stay in the Big Apple but switched leagues and teams, signing a mega-contract with the Mets. While the Yankees made a handful of widely praised moves in an attempt to offset the loss of Soto, much of the enthusiasm for those moves has subsided. After a rough spring outing, ace Gerrit Cole sought opinions on an achy elbow, culminating in a decision to get Tommy John surgery. Cole's season ended before it began. Then you have slugger Giancarlo Stanton. He is dealing with not one but two achy elbows, has not participated in baseball activities and has not ruled out getting surgery. Like Cole, surgery would end his season. Oh, and reigning AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil will be out several months with a shoulder injury, and it's unclear when he will be able to return to the mound. So where's the bet to be made amidst all this doom and gloom? Certainly, the Yankees missing the playoffs at +200 odds is intriguing, considering what a nightmare winter it has been. If you're looking for a longer payout, maybe right-handed Yankees pitcher Will Warren — who looks like he will take Cole's spot in the rotation — is worth a shot to win Rookie of the Year at 15-1, although that number has been slashed since the Cole news broke. Of all these, I like Aaron Judge Under 47.5 home runs the most. Aaron Judge Under 47.5 home runs (FanDuel) Judge walked a league-leading 133 times last year, and that was in a lineup with Soto and Stanton. With those two guys not near him in the lineup to add traffic and protection like last year, teams will be ultra careful pitching to Judge, making it hard for the reigning MVP to duplicate his incredible numbers from 2024. Also, Judge will be 34 in April, and despite being in the league for almost a decade now, he has only had 500 plate appearances four times in his career. For a team that has already been bitten by the injury bug, it's not inconceivable that the big-bodied Judge has to miss a few weeks here and there, which would also strengthen the chances of cashing this Under 47.5 homers bet. Without much around him in terms of help in that lineup, and the possibility of injury, betting on Judge to not hit 48 home runs is a wager worth making.
