I can’t pretend, or play it cool. I am stoked to flee the NYC and make my way to a little place known as the Hamptons. What’s on my radar? Here are the first five stops I’ll be making…

Stay. Ruschmeyer’s Montauk.
I’m heading to Montauk tonight to check out the revamped Second House via the The Surf Lodge folk. Ruschmeyer’s looks like my Indian Summer dream equipped with 19 ‘cabins’, a locally-sourced restaurant, bar and beer garden - located minutes from the beach, and on 3 acres of lush, lakeside woodland. Expect a full report tomorrow, but don’t expect me to leave… I have a feeling my Lake Bryn Mawr roots might get the best of me…. rumor has it that Ruschmeyer’s is full of tee-pees, tree-houses and hammocks. I don’t joke about tee-pees… or tree-houses… or hammocks.

Party. South Pointe.
This Memorial Day Weekend, there’s a new sheriff in town. First Name: South. Last Name: Pointe…. And he’s raising the bar for tunes off of 27. Friday night, South Pointe Nightclub (in the old RdV East space) opens in South Hampton with a weekend full of David Berrie, Funkagenda, Drek Martinez and closing out with Calvin Harris and The Chainsmokers. Some icing on the party-cake? The spot will be equipped with palm trees, cabanas and a St. Tropez vibe… so see you on the flip side. Questions or concerns? Contact Jonathan Schwartz, just say JetsetFarryn sent you.

Ultra Music Festival kicks off on Friday, and this weekend, Miami has a new religion. Say hello to the Mecca of Music…. Here are my top 5 sacred spaces for sun, sand and shaking away the day.

Beatport Beach at the Gansevoort.
Missing out on the Masquerade? Fear not. Our buddies at Beaport have put together a weekend full of free showcases, including those sexy SHM Swedes. Kicking off Friday at 1 pm with AC Slater vs. Jack Beats, the lineup includes Fedde Le Grand, Roger Sanchez and Bad Boy Bill; DJ Chuckie, Mark Knight and L.A. Riots on Saturday; Afrojack, AN21, Ingrosso, Angello and Wolfgang Gartner on Sunday. It’s first come first serve at the Gansevoort Beach, so sleep on it - the line, literally.

It’s a tough life, but someone has to ring in the New Year with Jay-Z and Coldplay… So Jetsetter and the brand-new Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas (yes, from those trippy commercials) are hooking you up with one sexy New Year’s Eve package: Hova and Coldplay in concert, a preview of the new Marquee nightclub, dinner for two, a celebrity fitness workout and more. You’ll be staying three nights in a Terrace Studio at the Cosmopolitan, where your private outdoor space will prove a lot warmer than cozying up to a stranger at midnight in Times Square. Did I mention that Florence & The Machine will be there too? Just in case the Chris Martin or Jay-Z don’t do it for you.

Spend New Years Eve with Jetsetter.com… I promise, we’re worth it.

From D.C to Kaskade & me, here’s a weekend full of home-grown, all-naturale, organic beats and eats. My weekend recap, from start to finish….
Ready, steady go!

Travel. Fly - On-Air. Train.
Thursday. All Day.

So I flew to Washington DC on Thursday morning to appear on Let’s Talk Live… let’s just say I learned few lessons.

1. The @US Airways Shuttle? Umm, not so much. After 3 hours of delays and runway resting, I realized there’s only one good thing about this so-called shuttle: the variety and plethora of business men, curiously pondering why I’m on the 6 a.m to DC. Oh good mornin’….

@USAirways don’t make me late to my date with #WashingtonDC #delays

2. Don’t wear red and khaki on a morning show during the holidays. On my way out of the studio, a lovely man said “Oh look, its the Christmas elf“…

Just finished up a travel segment for @LetsTalkLiveDC… Thankfully I made it here despite this weather!

Weekend recap from start to finish…. go!
Creative costumes, one big ol’ dead mouse and candy…everywhere.

@Fuerza Bruta Halloween Bash.
Thursday. 10 PM.

@Jetsetter, I’d only wear a crown for you…. let alone the crown of a cheesy port city pageant girl. Oh yeah, you heard me…. a pageant girl. But there’s one thing that wasn’t up for debate on Thursday, and that was Gilt Groupe ability to throw an amazing party. Fuerza Bruta was the perfect spot to start the spooky weekend off… clearly we had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad time.

To the @Jetsetterdotcom and @GiltGroupe halloween bash! RT @AWRadventures: @jetsetfarryn Thanks for the mention! Where are you heading next? 3:26 PM Oct 28th via ÜberTwitter

It’s the high holy day of Halloween and here’s the Top 5 ways to spend the weird weekend. Or just spend the weekend getting weird….

Thursday. Deadmau5 Trifecta & “Unhooked”
Kick off the holiest of holidays with a religious experience. Recently profiled with a feature in Rolling Stone’s “Hot List” issue, @Deadmau5 will make his last North American appearances this year with three shows at Roseland Ballroom (October 28, 29 & 30). The first two nights of his ‘Trifecta’ shows will feature the famous festival set with Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, Erol Alkan, Afrojack and JDH & Dave P (we hear Die Antwood too!). The final night - “Unhooked” - will feature calm and collected collaborator @Kaskade with Calvin Harris, Pete Tong and Sleepy & Boo.
Doors open at 8 pm

So it’s pretty clear I like music, and heading out to concerts and events in NYC is my little way of escaping when I can’t actually escape. International DJ’s and musicians bring some flavor to the everyday, and @Pacha NYC packs in all the action.

Last weekend, renowned DJ @Bob Sinclar brought Jamaican beats to a massive and curious crowd. For the last two years, the French disco maven was holed up in Kingston, Jamaica with Sly & Robbie’s legendary crew, re-imagining all his biggest hits in a reggae style. And on Friday, Pacha hosted Tim Bergling aka @Avicii aka 1 of 3 of Swedish House Mafia whose broad sonic palette has given me a sweet tooth for Swedes.

So if you can’t travel to the city, let the city travel to you…. In honor of Pacha’s Five-Year Anniversary, here’s a month of transporting tunes, so gear up!

See all the action with the amazing video by SPREADhouse

France: David Guetta
Friday, December 3.
Grammy Award-winning sensation David Guetta is coming back to the booth from which he first rocked New York. In just four years, Guetta has gone from Ibiza’s favorite son to every pop star’s go-to producer and an international star in his own right, gracing the cover of Billboard magazine.

There’s a new hot shot in town. He’s super slick and plays hard to get. But don’t let his games dismay you. A little effort never hurt anybody…

Every so often a great new place comes to town (Ahhh Arena. Tada Tenjune). There’s the initial buzz, the paid-for-pr and the lines around the corner. The goal: for peeps to tweet their whereabouts into permanent social media status and stake the claim “I’ve been there.” But when you’re the super cool kids behind Tao (Marc Packer, Rich Wolf, Noah Tepperberg, Jason Strauss and nightlife lovechild Jonathan Schwartz) staying power is childs play (Marquee since 2004).

Inspired by the original LAVO Las Vegas, @LAVO New York is the new top-dog in town. With a Southern charm (no, not from the hospitable door guys) and burlesque inspired decor, it could easily double as the set of an upscale V bar. And in case you’re hungry - they serve dinner too.

When @Austyntatious comes to town, there’s no knowing what might happen. When she comes to town for her 21st birthday, Manic Monday becomes, well… Mayhem. A special birthday edition of Manic Monday, brought to you by the two cutie-patuties of SPREADhouse and the uber-hospitable @PachaNYC… Go!

There’s nothing I love more than dressing the part. I particularly have a thing for animal-inspired outfits, glow-in-the-dark gear or pants to make you dance. So I’m giving away some gear that’s seriously grooving worthy.

When it comes to dancing, certain songs just got you a-movin’ … Love Generation and World Hold On are undoubtedly two of the biggest sing-a-longs of the past four years. But Monsieur Sinclar, where have you been lately? The French disco maven was holed up in Kingston, Jamaica with Sly & Robbie’s legendary crew, re-imagining all his biggest hits in a reggae style. Will he drop some of those new mixes on the Pacha audience? You’ll have to be there to find out.

I’ll be holding court stageside in none other than Sinclair Style… here’s your chance to do so too… RT to win one of these kind of awesome Sinclair shirts!
@Jetsetfarryn: I want tickets and t’s to @BobSinclar - this saturday at @PachaNYC!

Travel Tuesday: The Royalton, New York.

via morgans-hotels:

The newly opened Forty Four at the Royalton offers drinks by “The Cocktail Collective.” The country’s best bartenders, The Collective, each created a new drink paying homage to the world’s best hotel bars and the bartenders who created the classics.

Try the Champagne Cobbler, just one of many amazing revamped classics. This drink pays homage to the Metropolitan Hotel in New York City’s principal bartender “Professor” Jeremiah P. Thomas. It features champagne poured tall over crushed ice with lightly muddled citrus zest, sugar, Peychaud’s bitters and a crown of fresh fruits in season.

Sip away to the Royalton with Jetsetter!

Travel Tuesday: @HardRockHotel, Las Vegas

With 374 expansive units set inside a gleaming new tower that’s separate from the rest of this rocker-friendly hotel, the HRH All-Suite Tower offers proximity to hip dining, big-name concerts and the Hard Rock’s famously swish pool parties. Yet with a private lobby and its own spa, the tower pampers its guests with a sense of exclusivity. For high rollers who prefer a youthful, sexy Vegas base camp, the Hard Rock has the perfect balance. Note: Stone Temple Penthouse, Infinity and Sex & Pistols suites do not come equipped with rock stars.

Hit em’ like a high roller through Jetsetter.com!

WHAT.
WHERE.
WHY.

We won’t just send you there… we’ll send you there in style.

What: Jay Godfrey Elsa one shoulder dress

Where: Ibiza Gran - Spain

Why: Because there’s no where better to pull out all the ‘hots’…

Forget the day, here’s what to do with 12 Hours in Cartagena. Travel Tuesday style.

Historically, Colombia’s had a love affair with partying hard, but the balmy climate, spectacular sunsets and — of course — salsa music, draw a chill crowd. The sexiness of Cartagena is contagious; it’s got the old-world charm of Havana and the sophistication of Buenos Aires wrapped inside a sultry colonial city. Dine at the fashionable Tcherassi Hotel, sip aguardiente at the classic Café del Mar (also found in Ibiza) or dance to live music at La Habana. So live like a local… after night falls.

Eat.
Restaurante La Vitrola is the city’s celebrated hot spot where visitors and natives enjoy live music and delicious dishes of impossibly fresh seafood. After your meal, hang around and wait for patrons to push aside their tables and make room for an impromptu dance floor, made possible by upbeat tunes from the six-piece Cuban band by the door. Note for foodies: don’t miss the shrimp and ropa vieja or the shredded flank steak in tomato sauce.

Lounge.
Start off at Cafe del Mar (its sister club is in Ibiza). Built into the city’s fortress walls, it’s the perfect spot to sip a cocktail and admire 360-degree views of the ocean and the city.

Move.
Warm up with some serious salsa dancing and a side of aguardiente (a local alcoholic beverage) at Tu Candela. Don’t worry about an address – just tell the driver to drop you off on plaza de los coches (you know, the place where the clocktower is.)

Dance.
Hop in a cab and head to Café Havana, a tiny club outside the city center that’s staffed by a small band and frequented by locals.

Sip.
For a nightcap, stop at El Coro bar (The Choir), housed in a 17^th-century monastery in the Hotel Sofitel Santa Clara. Take a good look at your fellow bar-goers — dignitaries often stay here, and the chic place attracts plenty of high-profile visitors.

Sleep (eventually).
The Tcherassi Hotel and Spa is the culmination of a vision from designer Silvia Tcherassi. One of South America’s most influential fashionistas, Tcherassi long wanted to bring her unique sense of style to the hospitality industry. The result: a converted four-story colonial mansion on a vibrant Old City street. It’s become Cartagena’s hipster haven, but it’s also got some of the best luxury offerings in Colombia’s new must-see city.

Note: ask for photo cred.

As we head into August, Jetsetter ( and miss @Bailerina) brings you some of the world’s most famous (and fun!) party destinations: Ibiza, Cartagena, Monte Carlo and Miami. Don’t miss your chance to party with the best of them!

Here is a playlist that is sure to get your heart-beat raised…
and dare I say… your fist pumping.
