National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest turns 25 years old this year and on June 30 the winners will be announced. There have been thousands of amazing submissions and today we look at some of the best.
Grotta Palazzese, located in Polignano a Mare in Southern Italy, was built inside a limestone cave that sits 74 feet above the Adriatic Sea back in the 1700s. Now, decades later you can enjoy a world class meal, scenic views, the sea breeze all without the confines of four walls.
In the southeaster part of Mallorca, Spain sits a tropical beach unlike any you’ve ever seen. Calo des Moro has high cliffs on both sides of the sandy beach which gives a very secluded look and feel to visitors. Crystal clear turquoise waters make it a great place to soak in the sun and enjoy the beauty of the Mediterranean sea. It can get crowded on the weekends so do yourself a favor and visit during the week, also make sure you pack a lunch because there isn’t a beach front restaurant near by.
Today the Post reports that certain Manhattan nightclubs are billing customers for “operations charges,” which officials say is illegal. Multiple EMM-operated clubs—including headache-inducing Finale on the Bowery and SL in the Meatpacking District—as well as other area clubs are currently under investigation by the city for the questionable practice.
Filmmakers Landon Van Soest and Paul Trillo created a stop motion tour of Brooklyn, NY using over 3,000 still photos to promote The Brooklyn Brewery Mash.

This 62 year-old multi billionaire is world famous for his eccentric daredevil personality and his business ventures including the Virgin Megastores, Virgin Airways, Virgin Mobile, and more recent Virgin Galactic. Richard seems to have an affinity toward the water, he owns an island in the Caribbean and a million dollar personal submarine so this following collection of his finest water sports moments is equally amazing as it is bizarre.
The 2013 Las Vegas pool party season officially kicked off this weekend with the opening of Wet Republic.

As you’ll see there were plenty of good times to be had and NFL Star Steven Jackson was on hand to catch some rays and partake in several champagne showers.
Photo via: Shutterstock Lake Havasu has gotten a bad wrap for the over 25 crowd, mostly because of the spring break houseboat stigma. The scene is great for the average mid-twenties party goer, but has had a dark cloud hanging over it’s head since the word got out to the party scene public. Havasu offers some of the best weather accompanied by scenic vistas, waterfalls, fishing, hiking and the REAL London Bridge imported all the way from the UK. So if heaps of college girls in skimpy bikinis just isn’t your thing anymore, simply don’t go during spring break.
Considered by many to be the graffiti mecca of the world, 5 Pointz is a converted warehouse covered in tags and murals by famous and novice graffiti artists alike, which houses artist studios. For a city that seems so nostalgic for its old architecture and the gritty remainders of what made New York “New York” in the seventies, eighties and nineties, it sure seems keen on wiping them all out to make way for shiny, metal and glass structures. So when rumors began circulating as early as 2010 that 5 Pointz might be torn down, it didn’t really come as a surprise to many. Nothing immediately materialized, and business continued as usual at 5 Pointz, with artists coming from all over the world for a chance at a spot to tag and paint murals.
