Brand New Signature Programming from Turks and Caicos
Since we are never done bringing you new and exciting segments, now we’re taking you back to Turks and Caicos.
In Fruits de la Mer, you’ll get an exclusive look at O’Soleil Restaurant at The Somerset on Grace Bay. Go inside this urban-style restaurant right in the heart of Providenciales, with its modern white-on-white décor, soaring ceilings and low-lit chandeliers providing an intimate and romantic ambience. Here you’ll meet executive chef Lauren Callighen, who tells us about her Canadian roots and simplistic, yet innovative style of Mediterranean-Caribbean cooking.
Follow Callighen into the kitchen where she whips up some of her favorite specialties in an O’Soleil Trio, including a pistachio-crusted seared sea scallop, a spin on the classic Caesar salad with plantain croutons, roasted pumpkin soup with tamarind and braised oxtail ravioli. Next up she prepares a filet of red snapper straight from the waters of South Caicos, paired with coconut milk and mango risotto.

Now Playing: Even More New Programming from New York
Just when you thought we were done revealing new signature programming from New York, we launched two new programs to Voyage.tv this week that we know you’ll enjoy.
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind Manhattan locale to sip pre- or post-dinner drinks, be sure to watch A Study in Spirits.

And the excitement doesn’t stop at the vintage labels and whiskey samplings—they also give us a taste of the Brandy Library’s notable gougères, gourmet cheese selection and foie gras, all paired with carefully chosen spirits.
In One Stop Beauty Shop you’ll go inside Spa Chakra on 5th & The Pipino Salon in Midtown, where 20,000-square-feet of pampering awaits worn-out New Yorkers and tired travelers in need of rejuvenation.

Introducing Our Jamaica Resident Editor
Before the New Year we introduced you to our Bermuda Resident Editor here at Voyage.tv, David LaHuta. For those of you who missed that post, a RE is an expert located in the field that keeps us informed on what’s new and hot in his or her area and answers any travel related questions you may have, offering a unique perspective you can only get from a local.
Now we’d like to introduce you to another one of our experts, Kaili McDonnough, a journalist based in Kingston, Jamaica. Before she moved to Kingston she spent a decade living in New York City where she worked for the New York Post. Currently, in addition to working with us, Kaili is a contributing writer for several Caribbean publications including The Jamaica Observer, MACO and Skywritings. “I love everything about travel writing,” Kaili says, “and I love being a journalist because I am constantly meeting new people and going on exciting adventures.”
Some of those adventures include traveling around the world with our production crew to host some of our original signature programs, from Island Hopping in Turks and Caicos to discovering Wearable Desserts in her hometown of Kingston.
Since moving to Jamaica she’s started a successful open-air market (Kingston’s answer to Brooklyn Flea or London’s Portobello Road) called Market at The Lawn. Here vendors sell the best of what Jamaica has to offer in terms of arts, crafts, furniture, fashion, food and jewelry.

Unveiling Our Newest New York Signature Programs
If you’re eager to discover even more New York programming from us here at Voyage.tv, you’re in luck. This week we’re excited to bring you two new signature programs straight from the heart of Manhattan.
In Village Underground our production team ventured to the West Village to duck inside Hotel Griffou, a cozy speak-easy style restaurant plating up seasonal French-inspired dishes and mixing inventive cocktails. With our inside look you get to hear from the owners themselves who share with us the restaurant’s history as a 19th-century boarding house where famed artists and writers of the day used to gather to exchange ideas over drinks. We take a peek inside themed dining rooms like The Salon, The Library and The Palm Terrace where varied lighting and decor create an ambiance to suit any mood. Hotel Griffou’s executive pastry chef recommends some of her favorite sweets from the menu, and the bartender reveals the nightspot’s creative drink blends, mixing up the aptly named Writer’s Block Tonic.
Next up, our production team headed to Devachan Salon and Departure Lounge in SoHo to film our Best Tressed video, a must-see for all curly girls out there. Here owner Lorraine Massey gives us the lowdown on her inspiration for the hair salon and spa, familiar with the woes of taming unruly locks as a curly girl herself. In this original video she shares all the salon’s innovative tips and technique’s for cutting, washing, coloring and styling both straight and curly hair, and our host Paula Garces even gets to take part in the “curl-volution” with her own hair makeover. (Take a look at our Production Manager Jessie Warner’s behind-the-scenes post for even more details on this segment.)
