VUE

As the year winds down and the holidays approach, I'm reminded of the energy that defines this season—reflection, gratitude, and a little celebration for how far we've come. At VUE, that celebration takes a bold new shape with our most exclusive cover story to date: an unfiltered conversation with none other than 50 Cent. From music to business, film to fine spirits, 50 has built an empire on authenticity and hustle. In our one-on-one interview, he didn't hold back—sharing his perspective on legacy, reinvention, and success on his own terms. It's rare to get him to "spill the tea," but he did—and it's all inside. is Holiday Issue brings together everything VUE stands for: luxury, substance, and connection. Inside, you'll find our annual Holiday Gi Guide, a curated selection of "Merry Spirits" for the season's best cocktails, and inspired features on travel, fine dining, and local escapes that capture the magic of winter in the Northeast.
