This walking tour covers approximately 2 miles and should take about an hour and a half, depending upon your pacing, but not including shopping time. For the best experience, I recommend you wear warm clothes, comfortable shoes, and keep an eye on your belongings, as the area around the various window displays can be crowded.<br /><br /><br /><br />http://gonyc.about.com/od/christmassights/l/bl_xmaswindows.htmHotel Reservehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13148858327229712586noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204375246138325393.post-54560418367349935052009-11-26T08:12:00.000-08:002009-11-26T08:17:07.519-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pA321PxdpaY/Sw6p3YuQKYI/AAAAAAAAALw/IxQ5IUV3yZM/s1600/rock_centertree.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 110px; height: 170px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pA321PxdpaY/Sw6p3YuQKYI/AAAAAAAAALw/IxQ5IUV3yZM/s400/rock_centertree.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408446971512891778" /></a><br />The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is typically lit on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving.

In New York City the holiday is further celebrated with this spectacular and colourful parade through the streets of Manhattan - in one of the Big Apple's most eagerly anticipated events. Stars and celebrities appear among the many floats, but are dwarfed by 15 or more 'falloons' (a cross between a float and a balloon) representing familiar cartoon characters. There are more than 50 balloons in all, which are inflated on the evening before the Parade as part of the warm-up. Over 30 clown groups, 10 marching bands and dozens of school bands also form a part of the spectacular. Good vantage points include Columbus Circle and Times Square, but get there early for a place near the front of the big crowds.Hotel Reservehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13148858327229712586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204375246138325393.post-62920256275852720772009-10-19T13:36:00.000-07:002009-10-19T13:40:03.494-07:00Halloween Parade NYC<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pA321PxdpaY/StzOfX9idQI/AAAAAAAAALg/WnEY-F_7LO0/s1600-h/halloween_parade06_07.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pA321PxdpaY/StzOfX9idQI/AAAAAAAAALg/WnEY-F_7LO0/s400/halloween_parade06_07.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394413492086404354" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Saturday, October 31, 2009 Starting at 7 p.m.</strong> <br /> <br /> <br />Join Us ! <br />All Those in Costume are Welcome to Join Hundreds of Puppets, 53 Bands of Different Types of Music, Dancers and Artists, and Thousands of other New Yorkers in Costumes of their Own Creation in the Nation’s Most Wildly Creative Public Participatory Event in the Greatest City in the World ! <br />Line-Up ! <br />For all those in costume is on 6th Avenue South of Spring Street and North of Canal between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Alert !

The Film Society is one of those rare institutions whose stature is matched by its popularity, each year welcoming an aggregate audience of more than 200,000 film aficionados, filmmakers and industry leaders of every nationality, age, economic and ethnic group. The organization has been a pioneer among film institutions and one of the film world’s most respected and influential arbiters of cinematic trends and discoveries. François Truffaut, R.W. Fassbinder, Jean-Luc Godard, Pedro Almodóvar, Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson– over the last four decades there is scarcely a major director who has not been introduced to American audiences by the Film Society.<br /><br />The Film Society is best known for two world-class international festivals – the New York Film Festival (the most famous and prestigious in the country), and New Directors/New Films (celebrating new cinematic artists). It runs a state-of-the-art year-round cinema, the Walter Reade Theater (capacity: 268), and publishes the country’s most respected cinematic journal, Film Comment. Each year the organization presents its annual Gala Tribute honoring legendary stars and industry leaders of our generation at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. At various times of the year the Film Society partners with Hollywood studios to present premieres and special live appearances.Hotel Reservehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13148858327229712586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204375246138325393.post-88741423120307061612009-10-04T07:46:00.000-07:002009-10-04T07:54:19.203-07:00Greenwich Village HalloweenThe parade is an annual event that stretches over a mile in Greenwich Village, and according to the New York Times, it is “the best entertainment the people of this City ever give the people of this City. » With fifty thousand costumed participants, artists, dancers, circus performers and musical acts, it is not a surprise that it has become one of the largest events in the country. The key to the competition is creativity, and the wilder the costume, the better!<br /><br />The parade started off in 1973 with mask maker and puppeteer Ralph Lee who staged a puppet show for the children of his friends, family and neighbours in the Village. After the second year, the «Theater for the new city» stepped forward to present the show on a larger scale, and by the eighth year, the audience had grown to 100 000 ! <br /><br /><strong>The Halloween Parade begins on Sixth Avenue at Spring Street, and continues north along Sixth Avenue to 23rd Street. <br />Who Participates in New York's Village Halloween Parade?<br />Nearly 50,000 people participate in the annual Halloween Parade, including costumed marchers, puppeteers, bands and more. Anyone who is interested in participating in the Halloween Parade can -- just arrive at the beginning of the parade between 6:30 and 8 p.m and you can join the fun. <br />New York's Village Halloween Parade Overview<br />A New York City tradition since 1973, New York's Village Halloween Parade is the largest Halloween celebration in the world. The parade features puppets, marchers and marching bands, as well as a limited number of floats and cars. New York's Village Halloween Parade is the only night time parade in New York City and is a fun and unique way to celebrate Halloween. <br />New York's Village Halloween Parade Tips<br />•Dress for the weather -- the temperature can drop significantly once the sun goes down. <br />•Be prepared for crowds -- this is a popular event, it's dark and it can be hard to keep your group together. Pick a meeting point and time in case you get separated. <br />•Parade watchers start lining up 2 hours before the parade begins -- with some persistance (& walking) you should be able to find a prime viewing spot up to an hour before the parade begins. <br />•This is a busy night for bars and restaurants along the parade route -- if you're planning dinner after the parade, consider making reservations (especially if you're in a group</strong>).Hotel Reservehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13148858327229712586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204375246138325393.post-61574377485488821692009-10-04T06:46:00.000-07:002009-10-04T06:48:37.999-07:00Fall 09<strong>I love autumn in New York (the season, that is, not the bad Richard Gere movie).

If wordplay doesn't do the trick, perhaps the $9.99 daily lunch special (11 a.m. to 3pm, full menu) might do the trick in this bear market. Federal's lunch menu runs the gamut from burgers to spring rolls to Greek salad, but the diner menu sticks closer to an Italian American theme. Owner Thomas Sima and his dad, the guys behind the Prime Cafe in the 26th Street Holiday Inn, have put together a greatest hits menu featuring veal parmigiana, chicken Milanese and prime aged steaks, all served in an understated dining room that would make any Midwestern business traveler feel at ease.<br /><br /><br />*****"<strong>I Stayed at the Reserve Hotel for a few days last week and experienced such a wonderful and refreshing time at the Federal cafe.

Built in 1931, the building has 102 floors and stands 1,250 feet tall. It is currently the tallest tower in New York City and the 2nd tallest building in the United States. A grandiose lobby galvanized with marble, granite, nickel and limestone is just the start of this amazing building.<br /><br /><br />Empire State Building Facts<br /><br />With 22 miles of telephone wire and enough elevator cable to stretch from Manhattan to Baltimore, one is marveled by the building’s size, height, and history. The history of the building is a wonder in itself. During the great depression, it was decided to build the Empire State Building in an attempt to create jobs and cause a catalyst for the American economy. It turns out they needed 7 million man hours for construction to complete the project. The most amazing fact is the time in which it took to complete Gotham City’s new tallest tower. In just 18 fast-tracked months, the Empire State building was completed. By comparison, the new World Trade Center/Freedom Tower with 110 floors will take 5 years to complete. Construction on The Empire State Building was around the clock 24 hours a day. They opted to fast-track the building’s construction because they really wanted to prove to the world that the American workforce and spirit was strong and citizens should not give up hope on America.<br /><br /><br />After it was completed, critics argued that the building was not structurally sound enough to occupy. Thus, when it was completed in 1931 the occupancy rate was a meager 20%.<br /><br /><br />There is a lot more history about the Empire State Building, and the OnBoard New York Tour Guides explain it every day. The line to go to the popular observatory on the 86th floor can be long. With this in mind, we have discovered that the best time to go to the observatory is around 8:30pm in the evening, and you should purchase your tickets in advance by calling us at 1-646-919-8680 or 1-877-U-TOUR-NYHotel Reservehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13148858327229712586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204375246138325393.post-31219295231053979472009-09-29T14:40:00.000-07:002009-09-29T14:46:37.960-07:00Original Greenwich Village Food and Culture Walking Tour<strong><br />Greenwich Village Walking Tour</strong><br /><br />The Bottom Line<br />If you're looking for a delicious way to experience Greenwich Village while in New York City, the Original Greenwich Village Food and Culture Walking Tour is a great choice.

If only today’s feature would come to Texas (don’t really care where. I’d drive it.)<br /><br />If you take your steaks seriously at all, you’ve probably heard of Peter Luger Steak House, a Brooklyn landmark voted by the Zagat Survey as the #1 steakhouse in New York City for an incredible 24 years running. Opened in 1887, the place is almost whimsically old-fashioned, boasting a Zen-simple menu, bizarre payment options, uber-manly décor and, oh yeah, some righteous steaks.<br /><br /><br />Before we get to some of the more unusual features of Peter Luger, let’s start with what everyone can agree they get just right: the steaks. Most high-end steakhouses tout USDA Prime beef, but according to Peter Luger’s buyer, Jody Storch, that’s really just the beginning. Meat is purchased daily after Jody’s discerning examination. Not even most Prime beef meets her exacting standards. You could say she only buys the prime of the Prime. (See her in action)<br /><br />The highest quality beef on-hand, Peter Luger dry ages every steak in-house. Dry aging allows moisture to evaporate from the meat cuts slowly, intensifying the rich beef flavor without over-dehydrating the steaks. After several days (I’ve seen places take it to 48, though I’m not sure about Peter Luger), the meat is finally ready and sent upstairs to the restaurant.<br /><br />Don’t expect a full page of different cuts to choose from. Peter Luger specializes in the Porterhouse steak, offered by number of diners rather than weight. You can order a single for yourself, or make it monster serving up to four people, served to the table on a 400-degree plate and already cut up for your convenience.<br /><br /><br />Appetizer offerings are just as straight-forward: a plate of sliced tomatoes with sauce, tomatoes and onion with sauce, a nice Caesar salad, or the heart-threateningly delicious extra thick bacon by the slice. There’s nothing fancy about any of it, but when you use top-quality ingredients and prepare them just right, there’s really no need to be.<br /><br />Oh, for dessert, it’s got to be the pecan pie. They have other options, but this is the one you want.<br /><br />Another standout feature of Peter Luger Steak House is that they do not accept credit cards. Either you pay cash or you order a Peter Luger Card, essentially an in-house dining card. They also have a store, selling everything from memorabilia to their signature Peter Luger Sauce to the steaks themselves, butcher shop-style. You can even have uncooked steaks mailed to you.<br /><br />Though it seems old-fashioned at times (and hey, maybe that’s part of the charm), what really counts is the meat, and these steaks just can’t be beat. Beef-lovers the world over owe themselves a visit to Peter Luger Steak House in Brooklyn. Learn more about this restaurant here.<br /><br />I’ve got a couple options I want to mention in New York City today, both of them in Manhattan but still pretty close to the steakhouse: <br /><br /><strong>•Hotel Reserve - an awesome boutique Manhattan hotel located right across from the Federal Reserve Bank near Wall Street. It’s an awesome location for corporate travelers and really anyone who wants to experience the Big Apple.</strong><br /><br />•Hilton Garden Inn New York / Tribeca - Thanks to the Tribeca film festival, this area of south Manhattan is getting a lot more attention of late, and this fresh, welcoming Hilton offers a nice stay at a good price.Hotel Reservehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13148858327229712586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204375246138325393.post-88823195924974950392009-08-09T11:59:00.000-07:002009-08-09T12:02:24.612-07:00BASE BALL AUGUST NYC<strong>New York Yankees vs. Chicago White Sox.

During Summer Streets weekends, the streets will be closed to vehicle traffic and opened up to New Yorkers for fun activities and live entertainment.<br /><br />Take advantage of free bike and skate rentals, free fitness classes, free tennis lessons, and more. Organized by the New York City Department of Transportation, the goal of Summer Streets is to get New Yorkers out for some healthy recreation and encourage the use of sustainable forms of transportation (like your two strong feet and that bike taking up half of your NYC apartment). In 2008, thousands of New Yorkers hit the road for Summer Streets. Come out and join the fun in 2009. <br /><br /><strong>Summer Streets 2009<br />When: August 8th, 15th, and 22nd, 2009. 7AM-1PM.</strong>Where: Park Avenue from the Brooklyn Bridge (Warren Street) to 72nd Street, 72nd Street from Park Avenue to Central ParkHotel Reservehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13148858327229712586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204375246138325393.post-52047738787122365492009-07-26T13:37:00.001-07:002009-07-26T13:37:46.548-07:00New York Events Brooklyn Events<a href="http://www.villagevoice.com/events/region/brooklyn-474403/">New York Events Brooklyn Events</a>: "The Conversation<br /> BAM Thu., July 30, 7:00pm Brooklyn Film - Picks<br /><br /> (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974).
