To celebrate the loooong-awaited launch of the Naughty New York Guide this fall, Heather will be touring the US from Halloween through December 15. So far the cities scheduled are New York City, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle. Stay tuned for the Naughty Happy Hour events!

]]>I'll be joined by David Lebovitz (Ready for Dessert and Perfect Scoop) and Alec Lobrano (Hungry for Paris), and will be selling Naughty Paris: A Lady's Guide to the Sexy City at a special holiday discount of €10 (normally €25).
Come stock up on Christmas gifts, enjoy some wine, cheese, chocolate and munchies, and mingle with the friendly folks at La Cuisine. If you’re planning to stop by, you’re welcome to RSVP on the Facebook page for the event so we have some idea of how many guests to expect. Although it’s not necessary.

The Levitation Next month, the Seven Hotel officially opens to the public. I had the chance to peek behind the scenes at this amazing property, and I can tell you the press frenzy will assure that the rooms -- especially the fantasy suites -- will all be completely booked in no time flat. In fact, even though the hotel was still under construction, in July they already had 40% occupation rate (the average for most Parisian hotels is 80%). That's because the Seven is part of the same group of forward-thinking hoteliers who created The Hidden, The Five and The One by The Five (which was basically a prototype for The Seven).
The Sublime Suite
I should say that The Seven is not for business travelers. It's not really a hotel that caters to children, either (although they'd love the Alice in Winderland Suite). This hotel is unashamedly for couples and lovers of over-the-top contemporary design and whimsical creativity. If you're looking for something absolutely extraordinary, book your room now, before they fill up.
The 007 Suite
Every room is meant to impress, from the "standard" with the levitating beds and double showers to the dream-like suites, designed by different artists. The Sublime is completely white, with a round levitating bed. The Black Diamond is its sparkling black counterpart. The Lovez-vous suite is the largest, designed like a mountain chalet with stone walls, a central fireplace, animal-skin rugs and a private terrace with hot tub. But by far my favorite for naughty fun is the "007 Suite", a sexy Bond hideaway complete with gold bathroom and every Bond film (in French or English) loaded and ready to play on the big-screen.
There's also a futuristic lobby lounge bar, and at night the breakfast room becomes a wine cave with music and bar service (cocktails from €11). There will also be two Thai masseurs on staff. It's a bit off the beaten path, but what would you expect for your sexy Parisian love nest?
