THE ( TEENY-TINY) MUST-TRY ( OR - BUY!) LIST

DATE- NIGHT RESTO Don’t let the GeoCities-era website fool you. The restaurant Solo Per Due—which translates to “just for two”—serves up delicious fresh pasta on the daily in a cozy candlelit space in a town outside Rome.

ISLAND Just 500 people live year-round on Mustique (where Princess Margaret, the Queen’s sister, used to party with the Rolling Stones and where Kate Middleton and fam regularly vacation). It’s privately owned, but you can visit if you have buckets of ducats and a VIP connection or two.

SMALL TOWN Go to Nantucket in autumn. Most of the sunburned sightseers will have gone home by then, so you’ll feel like a local. Stay in the newly opened Lilly Pulitzer cottage at the iconic White Elephant hotel. TOURIST SPOT Petrin Tower, often referred to as Prague’s “little” Eiffel Tower, has all the charm of that other tourist spot but without the hordes. Come for the views, stay for the day and have a picnic in one of the five surrounding gardens.

PLANT STORE L.A.’s Cactus Store will satisfy all your hipster cacti whims—and it does it in a space that’s smaller than your bathroom.

PERFUME There are more than 100 fragrances to choose from at the lavish Guerlain perfumery on rue Saint-Honoré in Paris. But if you have the time—and $60,000—why not make your very own scent on-site following a two-hour private consultation with one of the house’s legendary noses.

DESSERT A $ 390 sundae sounds excessive, sure, but when it’s made with black- truffle- and- dark- chocolate crumble, hibiscus-champagne sauce and silver and gold leaf, like the one on offer at the Baccarat Hotel New York, it’s probably worth it.
