The Gathering Season: Inside RESIDENT's 2026 Fall Digital Issue

RESIDENT's Fall Issue, Volume 39, Issue 3, is now live, made for the season when everyone comes back to the table. Demetrius A. Matthews is on the cover, with a bulldog at his feet and a story six generations in the making. Turn the page and there is a yacht built to be lived on, hotel stays in Guanacaste, Palma and Cappadocia, eight Miami restaurants with their RESIDENT™ Stars ratings, and the evenings New York and the Hamptons dressed for this fall.

Flip through the full issue below, then read on for the stories online, gathered section by section.

Demetrius A. Matthews bred Old English Bulldogs across six generations toward a dog that could breathe well and stay active, and for fifteen of those years he kept a camera on them. In Demetrius A. Matthews on Bulldogs, Bloodlines and the Making of Bully Lifestyle, he takes up the health and money questions behind the bulldog boom and explains why his docuseries gives every side of the breeding debate a voice.

The conversation began in April with his memoir, Code Switch, and what it costs to adapt in rooms that were not built for everyone.

Brooke Fedora takes us aboard ULYSSIA, a 323-meter residential yacht designed by Espen Øino with 122 private residences and a Chenot wellness facility. Delivery is expected in 2030.

Michael Travin rates Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique 9.35 on the RESIDENT™ Luxury Index for what the Guanacaste resort offers today, with the Punta Cacique clubs still to come.

Delilah in Los Angeles, still setting the table for dinner and a show, completes the dining pages.

The issue closes with six evenings. American Ballet Theatre's Fall Gala honored Cynthia Erivo at Lincoln Center, and NYC Second Chance Rescue honored John Paul DeJoria in Bridgehampton, where Ashanti and Fabolous headlined the Concert for a Cause.
