Most people think the Bronx and the last place they can imagine finding is great sushi. Believe it or not I discovered the best sushi place in the borough and its was so close to home.
Sushi Q tucked in the little section of Country Club down the block from the Buhre ave station on the 6 Line is OUTSTANDING. Such friendly people work there. I found this place soon after I moved here and eat there just about every week. From there main entrees to there distinctive rolls busan maki or the ping roll everything is fresh tasty and delicious. If your lucky they will name a Roll after you. I'm still trying to see the "Lynnette Roll" on the menu!
The best part its affordable. Sushi in the city can run you close to $200 if your in a group of 6 Sushi Q is half that if not less and in my opinion better then Tao's! So stop by one day its a residential area so parking is easy and you don't need a reservation!
Had a long week school, work, the kids got you going crazy. Get your dress out Ladies and your dancing shoes on Gentleman and say Phuket tonight's going to be a good night!
Formally known as Talay ,newly renovated and reopened this is the place to be on the weekends. Its perfect location allows for Valet parking so you don't have to worry about wasting your time looking for a spot. And right off the West Side Hwy there's no chance of you getting stuck in gridlock city traffic.
Bottle Specials and the best DJ s spinning the best for every one's interest!
Looking for a mini-cation but don't want to spend a fortune or maybe you don't have the time. Well a perfect getaway that's not too far the city is Hunter Mountains Resort in the Catskills Mountains is the perfect winter getaway. Just two hours north of New York City. Accommodations are amazing from condominiums for weekend rentals for groups, there are also outside hotel and lodges not too far from the slopes. So take the ride and enjoy a weekend of snowboarding, skiing, spa treatments and fine dining.
December is a great month to visit New York City. It's a festive and beautiful time. A great time to see our beautiful city in lights! With so many things to do its an experience you'll never forget.
1)One thing to remember is its cold here this time of year. So be prepared especially if you plan on walking and exploring the city.
2)If this is your first time to the city and never experienced the subway a perfect guide to help you navigate the subway system is www.hopstop.com This website can be downloaded to pretty much any mobile device. All you need to know is your location and destination. HopStop will take you there with safe and easy directions to follow. Subway, Bus, Car, and even walking. The fare in NYC is current $2.25 per ride. If you plan to stay for a couple of days your better off getting an UNLIMITED WEEKLY Metro Card. You can take as many rides as possible within 7 days. Cost is $29.00 and worth every dime. You can purchase a metro card in vending stations on the subway platforms. They take coin, cash, and credit cards. Or at a toll both located in the subway platform as well. Many are operated 24 hours a day.
3)There are many events going on this time of year.
The Rockettes are performing at Radio City Music Hall
Santa's visiting Macy's
and Broadway is offering many deals for this holiday season so come check out a show
4) Now is a great time to shop all the Christmas sales make it affordable. But be prepared for the crowds especially around the window displays. Many Departments stores put on big displays. You should check some out Macy's 34th street Herald Square, Barneys 5th Ave and 59th street, Bloomingdales 3rd Ave and 59th street just to name a few.
5)New Years Eve is like no other in NYC if your willing to deal with the long line, crowds and bitter cold check out Dick Clarks Rockin Eve in Times Square
Just be sure to get there early and bundle up. And try to wear comfy shoes!
