The COVID-19 pandemic has been the cause of around 300,000 deaths in the US and over 1.6 million worldwide.
The pandemic has also led to the death of many businesses. Restaurants have been hit particularly hard with many layoffs and tons of places closing for good.
The famed 21 Club in New York City has been open (in various locations) since 1922 but it had to close its doors due to COVID-19 recently. Continue reading 90 Year Old NYC Restaurant 21 Club Closes Due To COVID
Katz’s Deli, the legendary eatery on New York’s Lower East Side has expanded for the first time in its 129 year history.
Since 1888, those delicious pastrami sandwiches were only available at the corner of East Houston and Ludlow Street. You can now get a fine sampling of their menu at the brand new DeKalb Market Hall in Brooklyn. Continue reading Review: Legendary Katz’s Deli of NYC Expands For 1st Time in 129 Year History
If you’re looking to get Global Entry and are in the New York City area, you’ll have another option for where to go for the enrollment interview.
When Kim, Lucas and I enrolled in Global Entry, we went to JFK Airport. Kim and Lucas enrolled the same day and it was impressively fast.
Soon you’ll be able to enroll at Penn Station for a limited time! Continue reading Limited Time: Enroll in Global Entry at NYC’s Penn Station
Early in 2016 I wrote about a very interesting and potentially useful communications network coming to New York City called LinkNYC.
The systems were to provide free WiFi, charging ports, phone calls around the country and more. Due to some pretty disgusting reasons, one feature was recently removed from LinkNYC. Continue reading LinkNYC: No More Web Search from Kiosks Due To Porn & Masturbation
Blue laws in New York have made it illegal for restaurants and bars to sell liquor until noon on Sundays.
This could be a pain if you’d like to have a drink with your Sunday brunch. Thanks to a new law, this is about to change. Continue reading Get Drunk Earlier In New York At Sunday Brunch!
Kim and I have been fans of Cirque du Soleil for quite some time. We’ve had the chance to see some of their shows like O, Alegria, Ovo, Wintuk and I’m pretty sure one other!
It’s been a bit harder to go to shows in recent years since most of them probably won’t appeal to little kids. The last show that Kim and I saw in a theater was for Lucas. We saw Yo Gabba Gabba a couple of years back! 🙂
I was definitely excited when I got invited to attend a performance of Cirque du Soleil Paramour at the Lyric Theater in NYC. Continue reading Cirque du Soleil Paramour on Broadway- A Must See!
Just a few days back I wrote about the New York Mets getting a new pizza option from Danny Meyer.
I already feel that Citi Field has a great selection of food options. Adding pizza from Danny Meyer is a nice addition that I’m looking forward to trying out. Now there is news of another big (food) name coming to the stadium! Continue reading Fuku Chicken Coming to Citi Field! Let’s Go Mets!
Paying for NYC parking meters has been a real pain in recent years.
Rather than pay for a meter right by your car, you need to seek out a muni-meter box, sometimes close to a block away to pay. Then you have to walk back to your car to put the receipt in the window, wasting quite a bit of time.
Well now paying for meters is about to change for the better. Continue reading Great News For Paying NYC Parking Meters
When I see a payphone around New York City, I have to say that I’m always surprised. Who thought there were any left?
Pretty much everyone has a cell phone so the need for public phones is pretty much non-existent. (I could see them being useful in some areas for tourists though.)
A few days back an amazing, new communications network was launched in NYC that will replace the city’s payphones- LinkNYC. Continue reading LinkNYC Launches- Offers FREE WiFi, Nationwide Calls & More
I recently wrote about how you could visit LaGuardia Airport’s Marine Air Terminal during Open House NY on October 17 & 18, 2015. You can also check out our full plans for Open House NY 2015.
