Unique Finds in NYC & Beyond
Whether it’s your first or twentieth visit to New York City, there are dozens of destinations ripe for exploring. Rather than rely on a guide book that’s bound to be cluttered with tourist trap recommendations, here’s a list of ten of the more unique things to do in NYC that offer a taste of the city’s diverse neighborhoods and attractions.
Remember the last time you went looking for a car for sale in NYC?
If sifting through pages and pages of Craigslist ads, or dealing with an over eager car salesman left a bad taste in your mouth, then you’re in luck never to have to repeat the experience.
A new site called FindTheBest removes all that hassle.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has certainly received a great deal of criticism over the last couple of years — from the long controversy over body scanner effectiveness, consumer privacy and health safety, to TSA agents’ moral and legal actions…and the complaints continue to pile up, about 900 of them a month.
The TSA’s stated vision is to:
“continuously set the standard for excellence in transportation security through its people, processes, and technology.”
The facts in this infographic, aptly named Grope & Pillage, present a much different story and underscore just how ineffective and wasteful of government spending the TSA has been in the post 9-11 era.
Travel is a great way to escape the mundane of everyday life and experience an exciting new destination, learn its culture, meet the people and discover local treasures. There’s no better way to do that than with One Fine Stay, accommodations in London and New York City that marry local flavor with luxury and style in a distinctly alternative ”un-hotel” way.
A luxurious weekend getaway awaits just 100 miles outside of New York City in the quaint Hudson Valley town of Saugerties, New York. Promising a respite from the chaos of the city where you can unwind in style, Diamond Mills Hotel & Tavern, which opened earlier this month, combines old world charm with the modern expectations of a luxury boutique hotel.
Tasting your way through New York City’s best neighborhoods is a great way to spend an afternoon. And the folks at Foods of New York Tours, the first company in the nation to create and offer a walking food tour, have truly figured out how to mix delicious food with an insider’s view of NYC.
Since first offering their tours in 1999, they’ve researched and fine-tuned; the results are immersive NYC food tours that also explore the culture of Manhattan’s most popular and diverse neighborhoods.
