...stunning panoramas of one of the world's prettiest cities. But the food-doled out buffet-style at steel counters-was unimpressive and the décor was forgettable. Locals avoided the place, and tourists felt shortchanged. All that unfulfilled potential is now in the past, however. Following a spectacular recent revamp, the Summit is finally attaining heights worthy of its name. Its minimalist, Space Odyssey-inspired interior features the kind of modernist furnishings-including chairs by Eero Saarinen and Knoll-that will make style mavens salivate. The cuisine will get your mouth watering too. Devised by British-born chef...

The magazine attracted hordes of new readers, including record numbers of women, and John won all kinds of industry honors along the way. In 2001 he moved up to become Time Inc.'s editorial director, the No. 2 editorial position in the company, working with Norm...
Bombay may be India's hippest city, but until recently finding a decent international restaurant outside the top hotels was a challenge. Visitors wanting a change from local cuisine and hotel food resorted to fast-food chains or pseudo-Chinese diners, where the ubiquitous "chicken Manchurian" provided a spectacular example of the perils of fusion cooking. But Bombay is now finally getting the culinary makeover it has long deserved. And what Bombay does, the rest of India follows. Here's our pick of the city's best non-hotel venues...
