Jimmy Buffett, who died in September 2023, created a billion-dollar empire dedicated to good vibes, hanging out on a Caribbean beach, drinking margaritas or a cold beer, and enjoying life.

His message particularly connected with his dedicated fans, the Parrotheads — so strongly that Buffett lent his name and songs to restaurants, stores, a Broadway musical, beer, retirement communities, hotels, and more.

One of the hotels is the Margaritaville Resort Times Square, a 32-floor resort that opened in New York City in 2021. The hotel and more than two dozen others are named after Buffett's 1977 hit song, "Margaritaville."

I stayed at the Margaritaville Resort Times Square in December, paying a media rate for my stay, and being swept up in its laid-back vibes. During my visit, I spotted numerous references to Buffett, his songs, and his love of the Caribbean.
