I booked a room here through Hotwire for $92. I was a little nervous because it's not a chain hotel and I wasn't sure what to expect. Overall, though, I was pleasantly surprised.

My sister and I booked this room shortly after they opened so we got the "grand opening rate" of $138. The room was worth every penny. I'm not sure it is worth $299 but if $299 is still less than the competition then it is worth it. We checked in on a Friday around noon and were staying 3 nights.... more

Today and Good Morning America " AM Shows"

This summer, Today and Good Morning America are battling for your attention by sponsoring free summer concert series featuring big-name artists in New York City.
The good news: Free concerts featuring a wide range of artists including Black Eyed Peas, Fall Out Boy, Katy Perry, The Jonas Brothers, Green Day, and many more.

The bad news: You have to get up really early. Shows start at 7:00 A.M.

The 2009 Today Show Summer Concert Series will take place Friday mornings (and on some special additional dates as indicated in the schedule below) on the plaza at Rockefeller Center (between 49th and 50th St. near 5th Ave.). The Friday shows start at 7:00 A.M., but plan to arrive no later than 6:00 A.M. if you want a decent view.

Viewing is on a first-come, first-served basis but you can request a fan pass and you might just get selected for a front-row view for an upcoming concert.

New York Puerto Rican Day Parade



The first New York Puerto Rican Day Parade was held in "El Barrio" in Manhattan. Amongst its founders were; José "Chuito" Caballero, Peter Ortiz, Luisa Quintero, Victor López, Luis Amando Feliciano, Vicente Hernández, Angel M. Arroyo, Atanacio Rivera Feliciano, y Amalio Maisanave Ríos. Its first President was Victor López and it was coordinated by José Caballero. The Grand Marshall was Oscar González Suarez, Esq. Prominent personalites from Puerto Rico headed by then Governor Don Luis Muñoz Marin, attended the initial parade. Several Mayors from Puerto Rico, led by the Mayor of the Municipality of Corozal, Hon. Leo Cabranes also participated.
In 1995 we felt that it was time to expand this event to the national scene, reminding Puerto Ricans throughout the country of their heritage and fostering the positive image of our people. Get ready for one of New York's most colorful and festive parades — as New Yoricans celebrate the 52nd annual Puerto Rican Day Parade on June 14, 2009.
If last year was any indication, expect to see more than 80,000 people marching, and close to 3 million revelers lining the parade route for a major Puerto Rican love-fest. Although celebrations of Puerto Rican heritage take place in cities across the U.S, New York's own Puerto Rican Day Parade is, in fact, the city's largest parade and second biggest public celebration after the Labor Day West Indian American Day Carnival in Brooklyn. The first New York Puerto Rican Day Parade was held in Spanish Harlem in Manhattan in 1958, and from its humble beginnings grew to reflect not only a growing number of New York-born residents of Puerto Rican descent, but an increased pride in Puerto Rican roots, culture, and tradition.
The parade marches along Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 86th Street and includes delegates from various towns of Puerto Rico and U.S. states across the country.
In a testament to its popularity, the spectacle annually receives the highest local Nielsen ratings for stations in the New York area when it is televised for three hours on local channel FOX 5 with afternoon coverage on WOR Channel 9.

The USS Intrepid
The Entrance to the Sea-Air-Space Museum

The Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum is a museum ship in New York City located at North River Pier 86 at 46th Street on the West Side of Manhattan. The museum showcases the World War II aircraft carrier USS Intrepid, the submarine USS Growler, and a Lockheed A-12 supersonic reconnaissance plane (often mistaken for the later SR-71 Blackbird).

It is located in a tourist area, next to the New York Passenger Ship Terminal, the Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises pier, and near the New York consulate of the People's Republic of China and a heliport.

The museum serves as a hub for the annual Fleet Week events. Visiting warships dock at the cruise ship terminals to the north, and events are held on the museum grounds and the deck of the Intrepid.

After being closed for a lengthy renovation, the museum reopened to the public on November 8, 2008 with William White as its president.

Just a reminder ; NewYork City is Beautiful.







































































































































































































New York City
"This place with all it's diversity and history should be on every ones list of places to go. I have lived in many cities and I have never seen anything like it. It makes me feel good to be a liaison to this city; my job as a concierge and guest service agent has not only allowed me to expand my knowledge of the area but it has allowed me to cross geographic and cultural barriers as well. I love meeting people from around the world it reminds me that we are all irrevocably tied to one another."

HIGH LINE OPENS


























June 9, 2009
WE DID IT! HIGH LINE OPENS!
Earlier today we stood with Mayor Bloomberg, Speaker Quinn, Borough President Stringer, Congressman Nadler, and other leaders and supporters and cut the ribbon on the High Line, officially opening the first section to the public. This historic day is the culmination of ten years of advocacy, planning and construction, and we're so grateful to everyone who has helped make this opening possible.

We expect many visitors from the neighborhood, from across New York City, and from around the world to come get a first glimpse in our opening season. We hope you will visit us in the coming days and weeks, and see for yourself the beautiful, one-of-a-kind new park you have helped us build. When you come up for the first time, remember that the landscape is still young, and it will continue to evolve through its first season and beyond. We hope it becomes a place you'll want to return to again and again.

PLEASE NOTE: If you plan on visiting us in the next few days, please plan on entering the High Line through the Gansevoort Street access point. You will be able to exit the park through any of its access points.

For more information, please call the High Line Information Line: (212) 500-6035
