Free Fax over the Internet....

I have plenty of friends that like to do things the old way and do not like to take advantage of the free new things you can do with the use of the Internet. One of them is sending a Fax thru it. Who has a telephone today's days in their houses even more a fax machine?, Who has a kinko's 24 hour station around their house?. Although I have a Kinko's around here, I prefer to do things from the comfort of my house than to walk the blocks to send the Fax. There are plenty Internet companies around there, but the one I use to send mine, with up to 3 pages for free per day, is www.gotfreefax.com . Is very simple to use, all you have to do is make a document page with the information you would like to send, or if you happens to have paper and you do have a scanner, scan the paper like any picture, saving the document as a doc, uploaded and send it. It is not as difficult as it sounds. Try it to see how you like it. I do, I save money doing this.

Cut the Crap!!!!!

I could consider myself a person with ups and downs like most of us, and that includes my eating habits. A couple of year ago I found this place while leaving my regular gym. It is called PUMP. It came back to my mind after years of not eating there, and finding myself eating the crap serve everywhere else. I do not cook, so it is important for me to eat well from what others cook. Today as I start a body cleansing procedure,, PUMP is happily back in my life.

Dr on the Go for last minute events...

With the weather conditions, the swine flu, high cost insurance and deductibles.. It is scary to even go out of your house to avoid to get sick.. I just find out about a program by Duane Read pharmacies that if something happens to you on the last minute and your doctor can not take you in, or if you happens to be on vacation in NY visiting and your main doctor is back where you are from there is a great service for us. It is call Walk-In Medical Care.. They have doctors inside the store to give you a check up, you don't have to make an appointment and take all kind of health insurance. If you get nervous like me when you do not start feeling well and you do not want to wait a week for your busy doctor to see you, this is a good option. Check their website
http://www.drwalkin.com/index.html for location and more info. Stay well, stay safe.

The Bag , The weather and the Economy

A couple of days ago I went out with a friend to a show and we were encountered with a situation that we could not avoid it at that moment but for the future we will. It was a cold rainy night in Manhattan so we went out with our coats, jackets and umbrellas. When we went inside the venue, they requested everybody to check their coats and items at the coat check.. Well the cost was 4usd per items checked. I manage to hide the umbrella inside the pocket of my coat but my friends umbrella was slightly bigger and he couldn't, so he was charged 8usd that includes 4usd for a 3usd umbrella. Really???
So on the way out we complained nicely and the lady attendant told us that she understood and that next time we should carry a bag to put everything inside and pay on e charge. And that I will do and tell everybody to do,, carry one of those bags you can fold and that becomes big when unfold in your coat or jacket pocket and if you happens to go to a place where you are required to check your belongings, put everything in there and SAVE MONEY.

Buddakan and the Asian fusion

For so many years people were wondering when in NYC someone will bring the famous Parisian Buddah BAR. Such place became so famous that people will go to visit Paris on vacation and wont leave it without going to it. They did bring it to NYC after two other appeared in the scene before it, Tao on 57th and Buddakan on the Meatpacking district. These two eclipsed the Buddah Bar in a lot of matters and in the most important.. The Menu. Buddakan becoming the best in menu and clientele cause is located in one of the most restaurant competitive area in Manhattan, The MeatPacking. Tao is the most touristic one for its location and most talk about for its ill famous sister restaurant in Las Vegas. Being Buddakan my favorite doesnt make the others worth seeing, on the contrary. A good night with friends and good dinner happens in all of this places. Enjoy it. For more info go to their respective website. But for reservation for this highly acclaimed places use Opentable.com.http://www.buddakannyc.com/

Affordable Great Fresh Food.. Save money eat well

For those of you like me that hardly cook or don't cook at all, it is hard to find affordable places with great food. One of those believe it or not is La Cucina at not other than at MACY'S on Herald Square. For those of you that live close by or work by there, you should stop after work and check out the great selection of salad, sandwiches and food that they will sell either at half price or in other two for the price of one. They do this to keep the inventory fresh. Another place is the Chelsea Market. There is a selection of bakeries in there that after 5 or 6pm before closing some of their baked good will go for half price to keep inventory fresh. I recommend this places cause their are one of my favorites to grab a snack or something to eat. I will keep posting of others as I go. If you know of any post it here.

Halloween and the fun that comes with it.

Nothins is more exiting what it could be consider the party of the year, Halloween. From the excitement of who will be throwing the party, to what costume to wear, all those things that occupies your mind during this month are worth it always at the end. It is nice to get invited to a cool halloween party, but the biggest one to attend with no invitation needed is the once a year, of course, Village Halloween Parade. It is non other at the NYC Village. Around 1 million or so attendees, with 80% or so in costume makes this the number one place to be on the 31st of October. If big crowds are not for you other options are around for you, like the hundreds of Haunted houses around the city, which for the highly cost of around 35usd per person and a high production, its a guaranteed to get a scream out of you or two. If a scary production is not for you, but you do like scary movies.. the release of the continuing good saga of the SAW franchisee is here or you have to wait for next year for the realease of the highly acclaimed remake of the cult classic of Nightmare on Elm street that if the movies is like the trailer, is gonna be one of the top movies of next year... Regardless what you do or not on this Halloween season, I hope you have a good time. BOO.. Please comment if you know a good Haunted house out there.

New York, I Love You

It is the season where all the independents and Oscar's movies will be released. There is not other movie I cant wait to see than " New York, I love You". Its made on the same way as the movie Paris, Je t'aime, but with the only difference that it is about my beloved it New York City. The movie it is filled with great actors and stories that promised to make us to be identified with one of it. The critics are loving it and hopefully we will. Can't wait for this movie, hopefully you guys too.

The Best Deals on Broadway Shows

There is a new season of shows coming into town and together with it, new plays and great actors. With the economy the way it is, there is nothing much better than to take advantage of great discounts that are offered out there. For us that we live in Manhattan, or any other major city with great tourism,to rub shoulders with other tourist or to fall in a tourist trap could be a nightmare.
So far there was only TKTS center for everybody to purchase discount tickets for BROADWAY shows or Play. When it comes with that was you need to stand for hrs ahead on line on Times SQR on same day of event, and to have plenty of money in cash since no Credit Cards are accepted. Now we have a couple of better options, like Playbill.com and Theatermania.com. I have tried both of this but the one with the better and more deal is Theatermania. Not only you can buy the tickets with long time ahead, they give you the option to choose your seats and location, you do it from home with no need to stand in line, and the best you can pay with your credit card. The have from Broadway musicals, to Off Broadway and to Off Off Broadway. What makes this one apart from the others is the Exclusive Gold Club membership. For only 99usd a year you belong to a club membership with offer I have never seen anywhere else. To start they give you two free tickets to a major Broadway show, orchestra seats which value of each tickets are around 125usd each. There you already got your money worth. Then all over year they have plays and broadway show that need to fill their seats, that already been paid by corporate sponsorship, so the show dont look like is actually empty. Those seats as member are complimentary all you have to paid is the processing and taxes that amount to 4.50 per ticket. As a second year member of the Gold Club member I have seen major Broadway musical, plays , Off Broadway shows, Operas at Lincoln Center and more for the fraction or less than a movie tickets. The Gold Club membership is a great offer for those who lives in the NYC area and surroundings, if you are a visitor just go to their main page and check the great broadway show discounts to join is free. If you want to see Great Hollywood Actors and Broadway performers this is your best choice. Guaranteed!!!

Autumn in New York

It is 2009 and this year it seemed like the Autumn really arrive a couple a month ago. But officially it is now what we call the beginning of it. There is not better season like this one to be in NY, after the couple of month of heat, touristic caos and vacation travel of the summer. One of the best thing during these season is the shifting of weather, the cold breeze hitting your face,and the sudden silence in the whole city. It is known that the heat of the sun can really increase the Mood on people, so when the rain comes together with the breeze of autumn, people around you seems to calm themselves down and be in a better mood. Maybe because they know what its coming to this wonderful city are the most exiting holidays and celebrations, or the beautiful change of foliage color all over Central Park. Yes, thats what we like with the Autumn in NY, the things that we like the most. It is nice to sit outside a cafe or restaurant to enjoy a coffee or a meal without feeling the exhaustion of the heat, to walk thru central park and feel the romanticism that carries during these season. To start planning for Halloween festivities, follow by Thanksgiving and ending with Christmas or for other Chanukah. What for the rest of the nation Autumn represent a new season for show programming on TV for us is the new Broadways show season, when New shows and plays are presented with great actors and the old shows and plays replace theirs with new one. One of my favorite activities to do is shopping and nothing bring a better time for shopping like the Autumn when companies bring the new on electronics, toys for kids, new season clothing and the biggest sale of the Year- Black Friday. I know there is more to do in this great city of endless new things to do and as I go, I will try my best to mention them. But please be more than welcome to add yours. Enjoy it!!!

The Shirt That Sold a Lot!!

As serious as we should take life also we need to make fun of it. I travel the world as a flight attendant and have seen so many cities, have been to so many restaurants, museum, sites of interest but not other place than a local bar reunites us as human being. Think of Cheers, a place where everybody knows your name, we like to go to a place where the world gets together to socialize and talk about the days and the events surrounding our lives. I ran the other day while surfing the internet with an add for t-shirts of all kind, after 5 minutes of posting it on my facebook account as a joke my friends were ordering them. In a way this kind of t-shirt express our desires or feelings, even identify us with who we are. I like this website, Cafepress.com, were you can get all kind of funny t-shirts with a quality not to look cheap. Go and take a look and have fun browsing thru their catalog, is fun just to look at it, you may end like me and my other friends buying some.

Bristo Bagatelle NYC

Last week during the fashion week I had the opportunity to experience for a second time one of the trendiest, fun pack place to have dinner in NY. It's name is Bristo Bagatelle. This restaurant is located on the 13th st in the Meat Packing distric of NYC most trendiest area. This place is packed with people having great food at the sound of great music played by Dj that has been brought from all over the world, specially from the party island of St. Barth's. People of all ages dress up to the occasion for a great evening. A reservation is a must for this place. After dinner you could proceed to Kiss and Fly for more night of adventure. Also in the area the Gansevoort hotel rooftop bar with great music or the new Standard Hotel with a great ambiance Lobby Lounge. But like Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl asked on an episode: "What's the best club to be seen on a saturday night?" which the answer to it was "NONE". Remember people from Manhattan goes out for fine dinning and dancing from Sunday till Wednesday, leaving the weekends for what we call for the B and T people. Have fun while in Manhattan.

Thru open table I chose the restaurant, they provided me the times available for the amount of people were coming with me. When we got there, the place was full. Thanks to open table and only 5 minutes made our night better. Highly recommended!!!
