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.
How to make Reservations for the Busiest Restaurants?
One of the things that you need to learn while you live in Manhattan is how to manage to make reservations for the best, trendiest, famous restaurant around town. If you don't keep up you could end with and embarrassing moment during a date or with even friends. If you dont like to go thru the trouble of calling restaurants and making reservation at all, there is Opentable. Is a website that will feature the most famous and trendiest restaurant not only in Manhattan, also in other major cities. After you choose the city, area and kind or restaurant you are looking for, you will be given the available open tables for the options you have chosen. As a person that lives in Manhattan and for us to go for dinner on a saturday night is tuff as it is, but since I have friends visiting from out of town, I decided to take them to Tao. Not only Tao is one of the most famous, trendiest restaurant in Manhattan but one of the busiest of all. If it wasnt for Opentable we would have not been able to get one at all. 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!!!
