This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back to the Beacon of Business. It is Monday, November 10th, and today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T-boy.

The Beacon of Business. We're trying something new on today. But Jack, congratulations on the weekend. How to go down there, man.

So we did our first family trip to New York City, and we all flew down there on Friday for just two nights in the city.

Okay, you just do two days Central Park. Honestly, that's an entire trip, man. Here's the itinerary. Saturday morning, we were at the Natural History Museum as it opened at 10 o'clock. Got to be there. Amazing time. Perfect. Then we went into the Central Park Boat House for lunch. That was a scene.

It's a boozy scene, yeah.

Couple cocktails later and like six portions of magic. Central Park Boathouse for lunch. That was a scene. It's a boozy scene, yeah.

Couple cocktails later and like six portions of macaroni and cheese.

We just walked around Central Park while the boys fell asleep in the stroller.

We hit up three different playgrounds by the end of the day.

Wonderful, wonderful day in the city.

Central Park's got to have the highest concentration of

playgrounds in the country. I mean, there is nothing like skinning your knee on one of those

bricks and concrete structures, Jack. And we closed it all down with a cash-only Italian restaurant

on the Upper West Side. If it's cash-only, you know it must be good. Oh, and the black and white

cookies, Jack. Well, I'm so glad you had a fantastic time, man. It's just an amazing place for kids, and everyone forgets that. Yeah, and he's, get this, at the hotel, Nick had a gift waiting for me. It was three different children's books, all set in New York City. The kids were in the park. They may as well see it in the books, too.

I'm going to read them. Eloise goes to New York tonight. Eloise and Lyle Crocodile, Jack, they know we've got three fantastic stories for today's show. What do we got on the pod, man? For our first story, we just experienced the worst travel day of the year. 1,100 flights were canceled this weekend. Luckily, neither of mine.

But besties,

if you really want to understand the travel industry right now, you got to look at Expedia.

For our second story, it's finally here. It's officially vest season, because vests are the

unofficial uniform of finance and tech. So Jack and I did the research and discovered how

the vest has taken over every industry.

And our third and final story is Duolingo.
