ON THE PULSE
AU CHOCOLAT
Warning: you may have the urge to taste this new sculptural display. In celebration of the 175th anniversary of Auguste Rodin’s birth, the Musée Rodin in Paris has invited renowned chocolatier Patrick Roger to create a special Rodin-esque sculpture made from chocolate. L’Hommage à Rodin is on display at the Musée Rodin until February 20, 2016.
ON THE GO
If you’re spending ski season in Aspen this year, enjoy a glass of bubbly and a taste of caviar at The Little Nell’s Oasis, a charming, on-themove pop-up bar serving Veuve Cliquot and California Caviar. The travelling lounge spontaneously roams the slopes of Aspen Mountain, so skiers must find the popup’s location via social media. Follow @thelittlenell for times and locations.
