january 2026

Greetings!

Happy new year friends! This issue of marlo monthly brings something for everyone: your newest (and hottest) night out, direct booking travel to coasts east & west, and BTS dish on the choicest culinary company you've never heard of (but we'd bet money you've eaten their food): nutritious, delicious and always easy to prepare, which is exactly what we're all looking for come this time every year.

As we ease into 2026, enjoy these sweet, simple suggestions to make the start of your new year the best one ever!

We don’t know about you, but we’re already over that “baby, it’s cold outside” vibe and are ready to christen the new year with a hot new scene. Here to answer that call is Mariel’s new downstairs neighbor in the heart of Post Office Square. Consider yourself warned: she’s a stunner.

The latest from COJE Management Group, My Girl slips into the former Underground space with a breathtaking new look, a whole lotta attitude, and an abundance of can’t-miss moments. Trading in thumping club nights for a more refined, sultry experience, My Girl is all growed up - in all the right ways. Think 1950s Havana glamour, velvet-clad corners, gleaming gold accents, and a soundtrack that knows how to set a mood without shouting for attention (ahem, we can relate). 

From Tuesday through Saturday, My Girl brings the party with live music, late-night performers, touring artists, and DJs who know how to read the room. Not to be outdone by the exceptional entertainment, bottle-service turns the tableside pour into a show of its own (try it; trust us), and the signature cocktails will leave you lusting for another. Post-work or late night, craveable, shareable dishes offer the perfect level of sumptuous sustenance.

Intimate, moody, and built for steamy nights that start with “just one drink” and end somewhere between Havana, a dream, and whatever comes next. If you need us, we’ll be with our girls at My Girl…at least ‘til cold is no longer a vibe.

Winter boredom? We don’t know her. This time of year, the only thing we’re focused on is traveling exclusively with The Goldie Collection, bouncing between curated luxury homes to keep cabin fever at bay. And with options to go through your fave third party platform or book direct without fees, you can also give your wallet a boost, to boot!

Palm Springs is serving winter sunshine, mid-century magic, and pool days that feel slightly illegal while much of the country braces for snowy impact. Your weekday productivity will be through the roof in your fully decked out office space; think WFH meets weekend escape thanks to a quick walk to the pool, bar, café, state-of-the art gym, yoga studio, and dog parks for the true love of your life (IYKYK). Only an 8-minute drive to downtown Palm Springs, you’re moments away from the best in museums, restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping. And for those nights you don’t feel like leaving the lap of luxury (we feel you), stay in and sprawl out across your multiple indoor/outdoor living spaces, chef’s kitchen, and outdoor sanctuary with bubbling heated spa illuminated by desert moon, all giving “I could stay another week” energy. 

Then there’s NYC, where winter just hits different. Think crisp air, stylish coats, bustling energy – and a cozy, design-forward Gramercy Park studio to call your own. Modern comfort meets classic New York charm in a chic Goldie Collection studio with short-term direct booking prices that are downright affordable; after all, you know the city’s ban on short-term AirBNBs has made its mark when the Hilton Garden Inn in Staten Island is going for $800/night (#truth). And let’s be real, for this primo location steps from everything, you'll have a grand old time without having to drop a grand a night on a lame hotel in Manhattan or beyond!

Yep, we know the only way to deal with the winter blues is to keep moving. Trust us when we say that the experts at The Goldie Collection understand the assignment. 

Not every powerful brand is loud about it. Some just quietly run the show. Case in point: our very own Cuisine Solutions.

You might not clock the name, but you definitely know the work. Starbucks’ sous vide egg bites. That veggie burger from Shake Shack. Jersey Mike's one-and-only pastrami sandwich. Fan favorites that hit exactly the same every single time (as they should).


That level of innovation and consistency isn’t luck - it’s obsession. Created by a chef-centric team of culinary masterminds who start with top-quality ingredients, thoughtful sourcing, and recipes built with integrity. They’re not chasing trends; they’re solving the hard stuff: How do we make it faster? Safer? More consistent? Scalable? And, of course, still ridiculously good?

Sous vide is the method, but precision and innovation are their real secret sauce and Cuisine Solutions has been quietly running the show for quite some time now. As we prepare to celebrate International Sous Vide Day in LA, Paris, and Thailand, we thought it appropriate to help them toot their own horn. Because the way they've done it for years is all behind the scenes. No spotlight. No noise. Just a private partner making sure iconic brands deliver the way people expect them to - at scale, and without missing a tasty beat.
