October 30, 2018.

Something inside me was nagging me to go to Manhattan. A few days later, I find myself on the Deer Park platform for a good half-an-hour before the westbound Penn Station train arrives. Six PM. Upper 40’s. The deep prismatic remnants of the fallen twilight sun sit on the horizon west on the tracks. Clear skies, no clouds. Stars in the sky and the moon’s already gone. It’s rare I’d take a train this late to the Five Boroughs and it’s not to see family, doctors, or for a band. I was curious to see how well my kit took night shots and take it from there.

I felt like I didn’t finish the job properly the last time I was there. By “job”, I meant the August photography session in Manhattan: The American Radiator Building at Bryant Park, The Freedom Tower, and Times Square. I always wanted to aim and fire at those three locales and that day’s doctor appointment made it possible. That was right after I entered a new sordid era. Ever since the Brooklyn goth girl tore my heart out I’d have a new perspective on what could’ve been and what I’ll be missing completely.

The brass ring I was told of was never there to begin with. Someone else had it all along. I was still poisoned with the effects of being led on, lied to, and deceived in the worst possible way. I would never feel or see the same way about city aspirations again. Yet, no matter how many razor-thin-tipped arrows are pierced deep in your body, you're told to still fight on.

I don’t even remember what I thought of on the ride west to Penn Station. I was too busy numbing myself with the night’s playlist. I look out the window to my right as Impalers’ “High Wired” was as going fast as the motion blur itself. 65 minutes later, the train slows down as it enters Penn Station. Ron Morelli’s “Golden Oldies” came on when the line slowed down to darkness and crawled by the obscure rarely-seen corridors. The line slows to a complete stop. The doors open and it starts.

I board off, head up the steps to and through Penn Station, and take the 1/2/3 to 42nd St. For the first time since one New Year’s Eve, I’m in the heart of Times Square at night. The Electric Behemoth. I set up my tripod in-between the streaming traffic while being aware of my surroundings. I aim high and shoot with all the settings and adjustments possible, even wildly playing around with the f-stop and leave the sizzling effects for interpretation. After an hour the kit’s display would tell me a story: I’d find out that no matter how I balance my settings I’d never have the right amount of color or sharpness. Too dim, too fuzzy, too bright. Not enough detail. The color’s are off. It seems you could only achieve what your camera allows you to. On towards Tribeca.

I take the 1/2/3 Express line all the way down to a few blocks short of the Freedom Tower. It’s a different scene from when I was there the last time. Not the pleasant blank-blue skies of a baked early-August afternoon, but the quiet pitch-black streets of the end of October where the silence begs for your attention. A few bars open on Church St. where a scant few people stand on the sidewalk conversing with associates or on their phones closing their deals. I line the camera down south and shoot darkness. The numerous specks of overheads and streetlamps illuminate stationary as the traffic lights instantly switch from red to green. The negative space help separate the dynamic range between darkness and colored lights as I play around with the zoom, firing the kit while it adjusts its focus to capture the bokeh effect.

I walk straight to the Hudson River Greenway. Only 3,500-4,000 feet of water separates me from Jersey City. 1,500 to One World Trade Center / Freedom Tower. Total isolation. A younger couple walking amongst themselves from the piers…and no one else to be found. All I could do was aim and fire at Jersey City with as many combinations of settings as possible. The empty office buildings are fully awake with their bright lights and lucid signs as they stood tall and away in the distance as no one else besides myself are around. After all I could, I turned it south towards the Freedom Tower and shoot as much as the batteries allowed it. I successfully managed to avoid the incoming traffic of cyclists because I paid attention and looked where I was going. Not so much for one oblivious muppet who walked first and looked later. He walked right in front of a oncoming bicyclist and they almost collided. “C’mon. Seriously?” barked the cyclist who verbally flashed some sense into the oblivious dullard. Now back to the 1/2/3 express line up north to head home.

I got off one stop short north of Penn Station, the Times Square / 42nd St. Stop where I ended getting up at 40th St. And 8th Av. I walked around Lord knows what streets. I didn’t plan it but somehow I walked past the Port Authority. And somewhat of a pleasant surprise to break negative thought if even for five minutes: a “post no bills” message stenciled on a random red door. Below it: another stencil of Bill Murray. Genius.

I walk through the Manhattan maze the night before Halloween. All five boroughs are gearing up for the whimsical festivities. The city streets are tidy and quiet with barely anyone walking through the minimal light and activity but it’s still all there. I’m right where I want to be. Always - except I walk solo. It would’ve been great to have someone join this unique experience with me. No reason why it shouldn’t but there always is. Instead, someone took me for a ride and left me head-fucked and demystified. She’s right here yet so far away and I can’t get to her. All I could think of on the walk towards back to Penn Station is another could-have scenario once again made possible by immature people and their foolish games. What’s worse? It’s her holiday tomorrow. I know in my mind she’ll be having lots of fun however she gets it. I won’t.

Another night in the record books. About 200 shots taken against the blinding million dollar lights, the pressing cold winds and the serene city silence. The 11:15PM line back to Deer Park is here. It usually takes about 10 minutes of standstill before the train finally takes off. It’s no surprise that Council Estate Electronics’ “60 Megawatts” grinds in my ears as I sit still in the front car sitting forwards and that alone is all doldrums; just waiting for train to take off. Then it morphs into Ron Morelli’s still-unsettling, suspenseful “Narco FRQ” as the line slow-rolls out of Penn Station in tune with the subtle clacking of the train’s wheels on the track. Another 65 minutes to go as I keep my quotient up and my era open, stupified as to what’s in store for me.

Mindeközben a Ghostbusters Headquarter-nél... mellesleg ez egy működő tűzoltóállomás, egy autóval, Tribecában, nem messze a néhai Twin Towerstől. Arra tippelek, hogy más állomások kollégái sokat ugratják a Szellemvadász állomás kollégáit :)

Located in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan, the Firehouse at 14 North Moore Street was built in 1903 and originally served as a fire station for the New York City Fire Department (FDNY). It was chosen as the set for the Ghostbusters film after an early draft of the script envisioned the Ghostbusters as a public service, much like the fire department. The writer and actor Dan Aykroyd reportedly chose the building because he knew the area and liked the building.

The Firehouse at 14 North Moore Street has a distinctive red brick and white stone exterior, that stands three stories tall at a height of 46 feet. It has an estimated floor area of 5015 square feet and a gross floor area of 5947 square feet.

While the exterior of the Firehouse at 14 North Moore Street served as the set for the Ghostbusters film, the interior was shot in a Los Angeles studio. However, the building has made appearances in other movies and television shows, including Hitch, Ghostbusters II, Seinfeld, and How I Met Your Mother. It has also become a popular tourist destination for fans of the Ghostbusters franchise, and an annual fundraiser is held at the firehouse each year in early June to celebrate “Ghostbusters Day.”

The 1903 Beaux-Arts building, home to the real-life Hook & Ladder Company 8, was used for the exterior scenes of the fictional firehouse where Peter, Ray, Egon, and Winston set up their ghostbusting operations.

The Exception: Chapter 2

tw: brief mention of murder

word count: 1234 | ~5 min read

It had been a week since the ‘Ghostbusters’ moved in, and as a ghost herself y/n was still quite unnerved by the whole situation. So far, aside from her little run in with Ray near the upstairs window, she hadn’t really been noticed. Y/N was careful not to touch or interact with anything too much out of fear of leaving behind ectoplasmic residue, and kept far away from PKE meters and Gigameters to make sure they didn’t go off.

All of this meant she couldn’t go into the basement, which was now a laboratory full of strange equipment the likes of which she could barely even comprehend. The last piece of flashy, ‘modern’ technology she was acquainted with was the old fire engine, which of course had not been housed in the building for twenty years. Frankly the sounds and lights that came from the dreaded science lab scared y/n, since she wasn’t even entirely sure what any of it did, or if it would hurt her for that matter.

Y/N had occupied the Tribeca Firehall since it was built in 1903, and had lived in the former apartment building that stood on the same plot of land since 1888. Born in 1868, Y/N moved out of her parents home at the age of 20 and lived happily alone in her one bedroom flat at 14 North Moore Street until April 16th 1902.

On that tragic night, a stranger had broken into the complex and killed 10 people, y/n being one of them. She never saw his face, and the mystery of the intruder’s identity tormented her to the point that she considered finding the truth her unfinished business.

Several months after the mass murder, the apartment building was torn down due to lack of interest in living there, and a firehall built in its place remained in operation ever since, until about two decades ago when the property manager deemed the property too old to safely support the needs of a fire station. As well, any other ghost who continued to live after death in the firehall had since passed on, coming to terms with the fact that they would never know who was responsible for the act and finally accepting death. Y/N however, was stubborn, and vowed to not lay herself to rest until she knew his name, or was able to haunt the bastard’s family.

Now sharing her home of 96 years with the so called paranormal pest control trio, y/n spent most of her time mucking about the upstairs kitchen, which none of the men ever seemed to use. Instead, they tended to order food or pick it up. Still, occasionally she would listen to their conversations through the vents or hide behind furniture and watch them go about their day.

From what she gathered, Peter was the sort of self appointed leader. He called the shots, was fairly loud and playfully aggressive with the other two, and always went first no matter what. He was funny, and teased the other men about their scientific beliefs regardless of the fact that he himself was a scientist, which only confused y/n more.

Ray was definitely the heart of the group, which y/n found very endearing. At first she was wary of him, seeing as he scared her half out of her wits on their first day with the yelling and pulling of the curtains. However, she grew to enjoy seeing him excitedly talk to his coworkers about their new business and all of his theories about the paranormal.

Egon was by far the most intriguing of the three. He was tall and handsome, and spoke his mind clearly and concisely, using plenty of scientific jargon throughout most of his speech. Nonetheless, he was still able to crack jokes with his colleagues and had a witty sense of humour. He spent most nights alone in the basement, and because her presence would be disruptive in many ways y/n had no clue what he could be up to.

There was also a woman named Janine Melnitz who appeared to hold the secretary position, and aside from the Ghostbusters was the only other employee. She had a unique fashion sense and was constantly talking back to Peter, the two of them patronizing each other often. Despite that, she seemed to enjoy the job, as so far, there were no clients.

“Janine? We’re back from lunch! Did anyone call?” Peter called out as he waltzed into the main lobby with Chinese food in his hands. He was clearly only carrying his own order as Ray had about 7 boxes in his arms and was desperately trying not to drop anything.

“What do you think, Dr. Venkman?” Janine replied with an annoyed tone. Before Peter could make a comeback, Janine continued by saying “Also you’re an hour late. Yesterday you were half an hour late. I thought you said lunch was only from 12:00 to 1. How the hell does it take you two hours to grab Chinese food from two blocks away that you ordered ahead of time?”

Hearing the commotion, y/n watched from the top of the stairs.

“I’m sorry Janine we just got distracted is all. Here’s your food. There’s an extra spring roll in there for you.” Peter replied in a condescending voice. He nudged Ray as they passed her desk and Ray precariously placed her respective take out boxes on her desk. Janine smiled at Ray and picked up the book she was reading.

“There better be..” she mumbled under her breath. As Egon passed by her desk, she looked up and immediately changed her demeanor. “Oh Egon,” she began, and reached out to gingerly touch his arm. “I heard some strange noises from the kitchen upstairs while you were gone and it had me a bit worried that there might be a wild animal living up there. Could you please check it out for me?” Janine looked up to him with the best puppy dog eyes she could manage.

“I suppose,” Egon responded, stopping to think about it. “There is a possibility that the age of the building paired with the fact that we never go upstairs has allowed a bat or squirrel to be living up there.” he looked at Janine and figured that whether or not she was genuinely frightened having animals in their makeshift home was less than ideal. “I’ll check it out after I eat my lunch.” he agreed.

“Oh thank you, Egon.” Janine melted. She found Dr. Spengler to be very attractive and was thrilled by the fact that he was doing something for her that could be considered heroic, no matter how menial of a task it was.

Y/N panicked. She had no idea what information he could or could not pick up with his devices, and was horrified of being found out by these supposed spirit killers. Even though they had received no interested clients so far, y/n didn’t doubt that their equipment worked at least to some degree.

She quickly made her way to the upstairs kitchen and tried her best to put things back where they were, but could not do so without leaving traces of spiritual energy behind. Before she could finish and leave, Egon had already made his way upstairs and flicked on the lights.

           I have grown up in New York City all of my life. Although I walk around the city with an ease and bounce in my movement, there are certain aspects of my hometown that leave me feeling on edge. Growing up, I lived in TriBeCa, a small neighborhood on the lower west side located in a ten-minute walking distance away from the World Trade Center. On the morning of September 11th, 2001, I was only three years old, but the historical and tragic event is one that shiftED the lives of myself and those around me. As I grew older I was constantly reminded about the events of that tragic day. As the events took place so close to me, there was a reminder every day that I walked through the neighborhood. Whether that be through the skyline that now seemed absent until the construction of One World Trade Center, or whether it was the number of tourists and police men who now surrounded the area, the events of that day seem almost inescapable.

           Although I always felt like the was never an immediate need for panic or fear when living in this neighborhood years follow the attack, it always felt as though there was a reason to not feel completely comfortable. In 2011 I moved closer to the World Trade Center, directly across the street in fact. Due to NYC Public School Zoning, my mother believed that this move would be the most beneficial for our family due to the fact that my brother could now attend the local middle school. Ten years after the attack, this movement still felt unsafe and haunting for me. Living across the sight where so many lost their lives made me feel vulnerable and uneasy. The view of One World Trade Center from my living room window, although a view that marked both strength and hope, also marked one of remembrance and historical importance.

           As we made the move a little further downtown, my neighborhood was now shifting and my train station changed along with that. As I began to take the train alone in middle school, it brought among a sense of independence yet a strong presence of vulnerability. As I took the train home every day from 34thstreet to One World Trade Center, my senses became heightened and my brain would run at a hundred miles a minute. As each stop drew closer and closer to One World Trade Center my heart would leap. As my heartbeat rose and the sweat began to collect on my forehead, I followed this feeling and immediately leaped out of the train at Canal Street, one stop away from my desired location. By doing this I had resulted in a fifteen-minute walk to my home, a drastic factor from the two-minute walk that would have taken place from the One World Trade Center stop, but I frequently took this journey as a mental precaution to protect my own anxiety and fears that arose by placing myself in an environment where a harsh act of violence and terror had once occurred. Eight years later, I became lucky enough to receive a summer job opportunity working in One World Trade Center on the 25thfloor. Although I had learned to cope with the anxiety that I once felt through living in this neighborhood, there were some moments over the summer that I would find myself feeling claustrophobic and freighted in a space where so many lives once stood before me.

           The events that occurred on 9/11, 2001, shaped thousands of lives all across the nation. Through living in the city I have experienced these circumstances first hand, although on a smaller scale than most. within our society the discussion of anxiety and stress is slowly a topic of mental health that our society is being more accustomed to, and for many, this makes the events of 9/11 difficult and inescapable seventeen years after the attack. As we all integrate ourselves within a post 9/11 society, we must address the issues within a global and local scale that causes for issues of trauma and anxiety to arise. Issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression plague our society following these events. Following the events of 9/11, the American population must address the fact that terrorism is a form of psychological warfare rather than conventional military warfare and work to educate and understand the repercussions on mental health that are linked to these attacks.

           The events of 9/11 greatly impacted America both politically and socially. Following the attacks, there was a prominent increase of homeland protection, and an increase in foreign policies. The attacks that occurred on this day were highly broadcasted around the world, footage that would be shown for generations to come and adding a sense of what is typically referred to as “collective trauma”. Following the attacks, President George Bush initiated a “War or Terror”, installing the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act was established as a way to increase domestic surveillance in regard to immigration surveillance and national security as a whole. In an article regarding regarding life in a post 9/11 world titled, Reaction to 9/11,on History.com, it shares, “Despite such anti-terrorist measures, many Americans continued to feel uneasy. According to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, nearly half of all Americans reported symptoms of stress and depression after the attacks.”(History.com Editors, 2018). This report emphasizes the collective trauma felt by the country. As individuals within New York City and across the country examined the attacks following the events it made them feel vulnerable as a country, the footage causing feels of uneasiness and unrest. While the government and citizens of America worked to find ways to come together and stand as one through memorial services and collective programs working to support those directly affected, Americans could not help but feel as though a similar event may occur again. It is important to understand that terroristic acts such as this step outside the lines of what is typically considered military warfare. A core factor and motivation behind acts of terrorism is the act of surprise in order instill fear. It is the fear and psychological manipulation of these acts that cause those effected to question their safety and their over well-being. While President Bush worked to establish military fronts and precautions for the nation, the attack alone left citizens with a fearful expectation that another attack is bound to occur. It is here that the psychological warfare takes its full effect. Before 9/11, the most recent large spread attack on American soil had been the event of Pearl Harbor during World War II. 9/11 marked a shift in terror acts due to the fact that it took place its multiple places across the country, specifically in the heart of New York City. Both of these attacks were not expected, but the attack of 9/11 struck the United States in a time where the country was not aware that they should possess any feelings of vulnerability.

               For those who witnessed and experienced these events, one of the most prominent factors of mental illness that factored from these sights and occurrences is PTSD. As Dana Rose Garfin writes in her piece How the Pain of 9/11 Stays With a Generation, “Post-traumatic stress symptoms include feeling the event is happening again (e.g., flashbacks, nightmares), avoiding situations that remind individuals of the event (e.g., public places, movies about an event), negative feelings and beliefs (e.g., the world is dangerous) or feeling “keyed up” (e.g., difficulty sleeping or concentrating)”.  Garfin continues to express that in order to being diagnosed with this disease, one must have experienced a traumatic event, typically through direct exposure. The feelings that are evoked from PTSD are the exact feelings that terrorists hope to evoke from the citizens they effect. The results of PTSD make even the simplest factors of life that once seemed normal- practically unimaginable or hard to deal with. For a 9/11 survivor, the sound of a fire engine horn can be enough to set extreme flashbacks and trigger emotional waves of anxiety. In an article written by CNN titled, The Psychology and Neuroscience of Terrorism,“Terrorism expert John Horgan agrees. "It's psychological warfare," he said. "Pure psychological warfare. They don't just want to frighten us or get us to overreact, they want to be always in our consciousness so that we believe there's nothing they won't do." (Lamotte, 2016). As I reflect on my own personal fear following the attack, the anxiety that I feel entering certain environments is very prominent. Whether it be quickening my pace as I walk past the One World Trade memorial, or avoiding the train spot all together. For first responders on the day of 9/11, their PTSD and trauma affects them in intense and heartbreaking ways, even making simple daily tasks sometimes unbearable.

           Our country has definitely acknowledged the trauma of first responders who were there on the day of 9/11 both at the twin towers and the pentagon, although our country as a whole still must make strides to identify the psychological warfare. As we identify the issues of trauma and stress that are prevalent among first responders and those effected by the attack, we must take a step back to analyze how we can deal with this warfare on a psychological scale in the future. Growing up in New York City and examining the reaction of the public following the attack, it is clear to see that there is still psychological damage years after. There are key motivators of fear that terrorists work to gage on, and as New Yorkers and American’s across the country recognize the lives lost each anniversary, it is apparent that the memory and spirit of the attack and the lives lost still lives on. As years continue to pass and a young generation of post 9/11 children are educated on the topic- we must teach them and share what the role of terrorism plays within society beyond just the act of violence. Terrorist acts are a harsh and cruel reality of the world, one that shape societies and history. As time goes on it is important to educate, assist, and inform one another the mental and psychological traumas that can be the results of terroristic acts within our society. While military and political backing is important, we must re-emphasize the importance of understanding the effects that these traumas have on people and work to upkeep a society that can work as a community and mental support system. The realities of psychological warfare are real and prominent within our society, through identifying and recognizing these issues we can create a more supportive and prospering atmosphere.

The Many Saints of Newark Trailer Song Has Paid Off for Years

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The Many Saints of Newark trailer shows Dickie Moltisanti trying to do the right thing. The film is a prequel to the HBO series The Sopranos, and will give special attention to the “old school” guys who were in at the ground floor of this thing of theirs. Veteran mobsters lived up to codes, like Omerta, which means silence unto death, and followed rules.

The top rule was spelled out in Martin Scorsese’s gangster classic Goodfellas: Get paid. “Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? Fuck you, pay me,” explains Henry Hill, played by Ray Liotta. The Hollywood legend will play “Hollywood” Dick in The Many Saints of Newark, and tells his son, Dickie (Allesandro Nivola), to make sure he keeps collecting those merit badges.

The first thing “Hollywood” Dick asks his son when he’s seated at the prison visiting table is what he wants. While Dickie tells his gangster father he’s looking to do a good deed, the soundtrack kicks in a different set of needs.

You can see the trailer here:

The Flying Lizards, an experimental English avant-garde new wave band, released their cover version of Barrett Strong’s “Money (That’s What I Want)” in 1979. Featuring Deborah Evans-Stickland on lead vocals, it was a quirky, mechanical, postmodern rendition of a raucous classic. They performed equally exquisite disservice to songs like Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime Blues” and James Brown’s “Sex Machine.”

The band was a loose collection of musicians brought together in 1976 by record producer David Cunningham. The Flying Lizards included instrumentalists David Toop and Steve Beresford, and Evans-Stickland, Patti Palladin and Vivien Goldman as main vocalists. They put out their début album The Flying Lizards in 1979, and Virgin Records extended their contract after the single “Money” made bank.

Barrett Strong’s 1959 original song paid off for a lot of bands, and was a standard for live acts for years. The Beatles were banging out “Money (That’s What I Want)” as early as August 1960, when they were still playing clubs in Hamburg, Germany. Strong had only released his single a few months earlier. It wasn’t even a hit in the U.K. Along with “You’ve Really Got a Hold On Me” and “Please Mr. Postman,” it was one of three Motown songs The Beatles released on With The Beatles in 1963.

Motown Records founder and owner Berry Gordy, who came up with the opening piano riff for “Money,” loved the idea that the British phenomenon were recording his label’s songs. And when the Rolling Stones followed suit, it proved Motor City really got things moving. It is the only cover song both bands issued on vinyl.

“Money (That’s What I Want)” was one of the first songs recorded at the label’s 2648 West Grand Boulevard studio. Also co-written by Janie Bradford, session players included Benny Benjamin on drums, Eugene Grew on guitar, and Brian Holland on tambourine. It was Barrett’s only hit for Hitsville, though he went on to be an in-house songwriter who co-wrote classic masterworks like “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” “War,” and “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone.”

“Money (That’s What I Want)” has been recorded by such diverse acts as Cheap Trick, Jr. Walker All Stars, Etta James, Boyz II Men, the Doors, Waylon Jennings, and Pearl Jam. The Flying Lizards’ version of “Money” made the playlist at WKRP in Cincinnati in the radio station series’ episode “Venus Rising.” It can also be heard in the films The Wedding Singer, Empire Records, and Charlie’s Angels.

The Sopranos soundtrack is well-known, some songs have become an iconic part of the TV landscape because of their association with the series. Tony may or may not have met his fate to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing,” but he definitely laid a beating on a local politician after hearing The Chi-Lites’ hit “Oh Girl.” Series creator David Chase is a former musician whose post-Sopranos 2012 film Not Fade Away told the story of a band from New Jersey.

The Many Saints of Newark is directed by Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World), who directed several episodes of The Sopranos. The screenplay was written by Chase and Lawrence Konner.

The Many Saints of Newark will premiere on September 22 at the Beacon Theatre to kick-off the Tribeca Fall Preview, a season-long series featuring film premieres and musical performances.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

The Many Saints of Newark will be released in theaters on October 1, and will be available on HBO Max for 31 days from the theatrical release.

# 3,860

October 30, 2018 Playlist.

Something inside me was nagging me to go to Manhattan. A few days later, I find myself on the Deer Park platform for a good half-an-hour before the westbound Penn Station train arrives. Six PM. Upper 40’s. The deep prismatic remnants of the fallen twilight sun sit on the horizon west on the tracks. Clear skies, no clouds. Stars in the sky and the moon’s already gone. It’s rare I’d take a train this late to the Five Boroughs and it’s not to see family, doctors, or for a band. I was curious to see how well my kit took night shots and take it from there.

I felt like I didn’t finish the job properly the last time I was there. By “job”, I meant the August photography session at The American Radiator Building, The Freedom Tower and Times Square. I always wanted to aim and fire at those two locales and that day’s doctor appointment made it possible. That was right after I entered a new sordid era. Ever since the Brooklyn goth girl tore my heart out I’d have a new perspective on what could’ve been and what I’ll be missing completely.

The brass ring I was told of was never there to begin with. Someone else had it all along. I was still poisoned with the effects of being led on, lied to, and deceived in the worst possible way. I would never feel or see the same way about city aspirations again. Yet, no matter how many razor-thin-tipped arrows are pierced deep in your body, you still fight on.

I don’t even remember what I thought of on the ride west to Penn Station. I was too busy numbing myself with the night’s playlist. I look out the window to my right as Impalers’ “High Wired” was as going fast as the motion blur itself. 65 minutes later, the train slows down as it enters Penn Station. Ron Morelli’s “Golden Oldies” came on when the line slowed down to darkness and crawled by the obscure rarely-seen corridors. The line slows to a complete stop. The doors open and it starts.

I board off, head up the steps to and through Penn Station, and take the 1 / 2 / 3 to 42nd St. For the first time since one New Year’s Eve, I’m in the heart of Times Square at night. The Electric Behemoth. I set up my tripod in-between the streaming traffic while being aware of my surroundings. I aim high and shoot with all the settings and adjustments possible, even wildly playing around with the f-stop and leave the sizzling effects for interpretation. After an hour the kit’s display would tell me a story: I’d find out that no matter how I balance my settings I’d never have the right amount of color or sharpness. Too dim, too fuzzy, too bright. Not enough detail. The color’s are off. It seems you could only achieve what your camera allows you to. On towards Tribeca.

I take the 1 / 2 / 3 Express line all the way down to a few blocks short of the Freedom Tower. It’s a different scene from when I was there the last time. Not the pleasant blank-blue skies of a baked early-August afternoon, but the quiet pitch-black streets of the end of October where the silence begs for your attention. A few bars open on Church St. where a scant few people stand on the sidewalk conversing with associates or on their phones closing their deals. I line the camera down south and shoot darkness. The numerous specks of overheads and streetlamps illuminate stationary as the traffic lights instantly switch from red to green. The negative space help separate the dynamic range between darkness and colored lights as I play around with the zoom, firing the kit while it adjusts its focus to capture the bokeh effect.

I walk straight to the Hudson River Greenway. Only 3,500-4,000 feet of water separates me from Jersey City. 1,500 to One World Trade Center / Freedom Tower. Total isolation. A younger couple walking amongst themselves from the piers…and no one else to be found. All I could do was aim and fire at Jersey City with as many combinations of settings as possible. The empty office buildings are fully awake with their bright lights and lucid signs as they stood tall and away in the distance as no one else besides myself are around. After all I could, I turned it south towards the Freedom Tower and shoot as much as the batteries allowed it. I successfully managed to avoid the incoming traffic of cyclists because I paid attention and looked where I was going. Not so much for one oblivious muppet who walked first and looked later. He walked right in front of a oncoming bicyclist and they almost collided. “C’mon. Seriously?” barked the cyclist who verbally flashed some sense into the oblivious dullard. Now back to the 1/2/3 express line up north to head home.

I got off one stop short north of Penn Station, the Times Square / 42nd St. Stop where I ended getting up at 40th St. And 8th Av. I walked around Lord knows what streets. I didn’t plan it but somehow I walked past the Port Authority. And somewhat of a pleasant surprise to break negative thought if even for five minutes: a “post no bills” message stenciled on a random red door. Below it: another stencil of Bill Murray. Genius.

I walk through the Manhattan maze the night before Halloween. All five boroughs are gearing up for the whimsical festivities. The city streets are tidy and quiet with barely anyone walking through the minimal light and activity but it’s still all there. I’m right where I want to be. Always - except I walk solo. It would’ve been great to have someone join this unique experience with me. No reason why it shouldn’t but there always is. Instead, someone took me for a ride and left me head-fucked and demystified. She’s right here yet so far away and I can’t get to her. All I could think of on the walk towards back to Penn Station is another could-have scenario once again made possible by immature people and their foolish games. What’s worse? It’s her holiday tomorrow. I know in my mind she’ll be having lots of fun however she gets it. I won’t.

Another night in the record books. About 200 shots taken against the blinding million dollar lights, the pressing cold winds and the serene city silence. The 11:15PM line back to Deer Park is here. It usually takes about 10 minutes of standstill before the train finally takes off. It’s no surprise that Council Estate Electronics’ “60 Megawatts” grinds in my ears as I sit still in the front car sitting forwards and that alone is all doldrums; just waiting for train to take off. Then it morphs into Ron Morelli’s still-unsettling, suspenseful “Narco FRQ” as the line slow-rolls out of Penn Station in tune with the subtle clacking of the train’s wheels on the track. Another 65 minutes to go before I return to Deer Park. I momentarily keep my quotient up and my possibilities open as I think of how I’ll still be cleaning this mess up.

The Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in New York City

September 05, 2019 1 Comment

Above: Django (@djangothegent) enjoying hotel life!

New York City can be an intimidating place, especially if you’re visiting for the first time with your dog. Not sure where to stay next time you visit? There are thousands of hotels in Manhattan alone, and not all are pet-friendly, in a good location, or even well rated!

To make your life easier, Mike and I (Steph) put together a list of the best dog-friendly hotels throughout Manhattan. Our recommended pet-friendly hotels range from trendy to central to luxurious. And although nothing in NYC is cheap, there are a few hotels below that qualify as ‘budget’. If you are focused on a particular Manhattan neighborhood, scroll down for our Google Map guide which highlights the location of each dog-friendly hotel.

Leave us a comment below if you have a recommendation we missed or want to share your experience at one of these hotels!

THE BEST PET-FRIENDLY HOTELS IN NYC

NYC’S MOST DOG-FRIENDLY RESTAURANTS, COFFEE SHOPS, BARS, AND BEACHES

The Standard High Line — Meatpacking District

The Standard High Line is a super trendy pet-friendly hotel located in New York City’s Meatpacking District. What do Mike and I love about this hotel? So many things. For one, The Standard did away with pet fees in mid 2016 and, in a generous move, donated all 2015 pet fees to the ASPCA. Dogs and cats now stay for free across all Standard hotels.

The Standard High Line’s location is also unbeatable. In addition to being surrounded by some of NYC’s best restaurants, bars and retail stores, The Standard High Line is walking distance to Manhattan’s West Village and Greenwich Village. It is also a block from Hudson River Park (a beautifully landscaped path along the river where you can walk or run with your pup) and next to the High Line (a beautifully landscaped above-ground walking path for people – dogs are unfortunately not allowed on the High Line). Within the hotel itself is a very popular open-air German beer garden, The Standard Grill restaurant, and a fun rooftop discothèque that gets packed on weekend nights (Le Bain). The hotel is also one block from the Whitney Museum of American Art.

PET POLICY & ACCOMMODATIONS at The Standard High Line:

Dogs and cats are permitted and stay for free at The Standard Hotels

One pet of any size is welcome per reservation

Well-behaved pets may be left in the room unattended

Complimentary bowls and pet bedding are provided

The James New York — Soho

Mike and I have been to The James New York in Soho several times, always to visit the hotel’s contemporary rooftop bar, JIMMY. The hotel itself has a fantastic reputation and was rated one of the 40 top hotels in NYC by Conde Nast Traveler. In addition to providing top tier amenities, The James is very welcoming to pets and provides both complimentary pet amenities and convenient paid-for services (easy access to doggy daycare, dog walkers, etc). The location in Soho is also unbeatable. Soho has tons of fantastic restaurants, bars and shops and is walking distance to TriBeCa, the West Village, Greenwich Village, and Nolita. This is a great option if you want to avoid the touristy parts of NYC (i.e. Times Square) and get to know a more unique and interesting part of the city.

Want to be closer to midtown? The James has a newer location in Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood (Madison and 29th). While Mike and I personally prefer the Soho location, The James – NoMad definitely gives you easier access to midtown, the theater district, Times Square, etc.

PET POLICY & ACCOMMODATIONS at The James New York – Soho:

Pet amenities including organic dog treats, food and water bowls, size-appropriate doggie beds, colorful leashes and collars

The James will help arrange doggy daycare, walkers and sitters (as needed)

One time $75 pet cleaning fee applies to the reservation

The Bowery Hotel — Bowery

The Bowery Hotel describes itself as “luxurious, oh-so-cool, and quirky”, and we’d have to agree on all three. The Bowery Hotel is an awesome hotel in the heart of downtown. The hotel has an old fashioned feel – antiquey decor like old maps, velvet furniture, and tapestries decorate the public areas. There is a great bar in the hotel lobby (The Bowery Lobby) serving creative cocktails and food from next door’s Gemma Trattoria. Dogs up to 60lbs are welcome for no extra fee and can even be left in the room unattended. The Bowery Hotel is walking distance to some of our all-time favorite restaurants and bars in the city (restaurant Momofuku Ko and speakeasy Angel Share, to name a few). There’s a great dog park just 0.5 miles away in Washington Square Park.

PET POLICY & ACCOMMODATIONS at The Bowery Hotel:

Dogs up to 60lbs are welcome for no additional cost

Guests must sign a pet waiver upon arrival

Well-behaved pets may be left unattended in rooms

Hotel provides food and water bowls

The Gansevoort — Meatpacking District

The Gansevoort Meatpacking is a trendy and pet-friendly hotel in the heart of Manhattan’s Meatpacking district and just down the street from The Standard High Line. It is also one of the few NYC hotels with a rooftop pool. The pool is easily the hotel’s crown jewel and a great reason to choose Gansevoort over others if you are planning a summer stay. The Gansevoort also has a fancy rooftop bar with amazing views, very expensive cocktails, and a relatively touristy crowd. My roommate and I (Steph) bought a table here for our birthdays when we were 23

One thing to keep in mind… the rooftop bar gets very crowded and loud at night, especially on weekends. Hotel guests have recently complained about music thumping late into the night.

PET POLICY & ACCOMMODATIONS at The Gansevoort Meatpacking:

Dogs (up to 50lbs) and cats welcome

Pet fee is $100 per pet, per stay

Pet amenities include a pet bed, mat with a monogram of your pet’s name, small Fiji water, food + water bowls, and a toy

The NoMad Hotel — NoMad

As a New Yorker, I absolutely love The NoMad Hotel and have been here on many occasions – dining at NoMad Restaurant, coffee meetups in the Atrium, cocktails at NoMad Bar. This hotel is grandiose and trendy, and it never disappoints. It’s one of my top recommendations for friends and family that are visiting the city and/or looking for a place to eat or grab cocktails.

In addition to being centrally located in Manhattan, the NoMad Hotel is exquisite and welcomes dogs at no extra cost. Per The NoMad’s website, “NoMad New York is housed in a turn of the century Beaux–Arts building that has been fully restored to its original grandeur…”. Room amenities and decor like freestanding clawfoot bathtubs, faded Persian rugs, velvet paravents, and embossed leather headboards give every suite a high class and old New York feel. If I didn’t have an apartment in NYC, I might stay here every time I visited the city.

PET POLICY & ACCOMMODATIONS at The NoMad Hotel:

Dogs up to 60 lbs are welcome at no extra cost

Guests are required to sign a waiver upon arrival and will be responsible for any damage or if excessive cleaning is required

Soho Grand Hotel — Soho

Soho Grand is another great hotel in Soho just around the corner from The James New York with no pet fee and the amazing Soho Grand Dog Park which is open to hotel guests and members only.

Similar to other hotels on this list, Mike and I have been here for drinks on several occasions, both with and without Django. In addition to being welcome in hotel rooms, dogs are welcome in Soho Grand’s lounge area where a full cocktail and food menu is available (side note: here are more dog-friendly restaurants, bars, parks, and beaches in NYC!)

Soho Grand’s rooms are cozy, stylish, and spacious, with most offering a stunning view of downtown Manhattan. And just like The James New York, the location of the Soho Grand is unbeatable. Soho has tons of fantastic restaurants, bars and shops and is walking distance to TriBeCa, the West Village, Greenwich Village, and Nolita. This is a great option if you want to avoid the touristy parts of NYC (i.e. Times Square) and get to know a more unique and interesting part of the city.

PET POLICY & ACCOMMODATIONS at Soho Grand:

Pet friendly accommodations are available at no additional charge

Soho Grand Dog Park (open only to hotel guests and members) which features fire hydrant water stations and bespoke benches in a peaceful garden

Complimentary pet amenities include organic treats, bedding, food and water bowls, and doggy bags

Guests with pets are assigned to specific pet-friendly floors

Hotel on Rivington — Lower East Side

Hotel on Rivington is a modern and trendy hotel in the Lower East Side. The hotel is central to all downtown neighborhoods and is walking distance to Soho, Nolita, Little Italy, Tribeca, and the East Village. Most rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, offering stunning 180 degree city views of midtown Manhattan. Pets are welcome, but a one-time cleaning fee of $65 applies per reservation. 

PET POLICY & ACCOMMODATIONS at Hotel on Rivington:

Dogs and cats are welcome

A cleaning fee of 65 USD applies per each stay

Guests are required to sign a waiver upon arrival and will be responsible for any damage or if excessive cleaning is required

Crosby Street Hotel — Soho

Crosby Street Hotel is an elegant and pricey boutique hotel in Soho welcoming dogs under 40 lbs for no additional cost. The hotel is part of the Firmdale Hotels group, a London-based company with 10 hotels and 8 bars and restaurants in London and New York. The hotel definitely has an English flair to it given its UK roots. Whimsical and modern decor adorns the public areas and guest rooms, and the hotel is known for its popular (and expensive) Afternoon Tea. The location of Crosby Street Hotel is fantastic. The hotel is situated on a quiet cobblestone street in Soho but just one block from Broadway, a very popular shopping street in Soho with a boutique Bloomingdales and other high end stores.

PET POLICY & ACCOMMODATIONS at Crosby Street Hotel:

Dogs under 40 lbs are welcome

Crosby Street Hotel provides a dog bed

Guests are required to sign a waiver upon arrival

Refinery Hotel New York — Garment District / Midtown

Refinery Hotel is a central, stylish, and popular hotel in the heart of Manhattan’s Garment District. The hotel is “the imaginative reinterpretation of the Colony Arcade—a former hat factory and Prohibition-era tea room”. Guests love the hotel’s loft-style, high-ceilinged rooms, and NYC residents (myself included) frequent the hotel’s Refinery Rooftop bar which offers  views of midtown in an trendy yet unpretentious setting. Dogs and cats under 40 lbs are welcome for no extra cost. With that said, Refinery Hotel requires a $200 credit card authorization upon check in to cover any unexpected pet accidents or damages.

PET POLICY & ACCOMMODATIONS at Refinery Hotel New York:

Pets under 40 lbs are welcome

No pet fee

Housekeeping services for rooms with pets require pet owner be present or pet must be crated

An authorization of $200 is applied up arrival in case pet accident and/or damages

Ace Hotel — NoMad

Ace Hotel is a centrally located, vintage-inspired, and “hip” hotel in Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood. Dogs up to 25 lbs are welcome for an additional $25 per night. The hotel is home to popular gastropub The Breslin (it was unfortunately stripped of its Michelin star in 2019), Ace Bar, and Stumptown Coffee. Rooms are clean and not too pricey when compared to other hotels on ur list.

Ace Hotel seems to try a little too hard to be hipster, as noted by many guests – some rooms are “bunk bed style” and loud music in the lobby bar often drifts up to guest rooms on lower floors. Many reviews suggest you bring earplugs as a result… Overall though, Ace Hotel is a great option if you’re looking to be in the heart of Manhattan, don’t mind a little weekend noise, and need to stay within a budget. Rooms are also relatively inexpensive (<$200) compared to other hotels on our list.

PET POLICY & ACCOMMODATIONS at Ace Hotel:

$25 per night for pets under 25 lbs

“When we say pet we really mean dog, but just get in touch if you have something stranger or larger and we’ll try to make it work” – Ace Hotel

Hyatt Union Square New York — Union Square

If you’re looking to stay away from the hustle and bustle of midtown Manhattan but still want to be centrally located, consider Hyatt Union Square New York. I (Steph) lived one block from here for 5 years and absolutely love this neighborhood. Yes, Union Square is busy, crowded, and occasionally loud… but it’s also walking distance to arguably the best neighborhoods in downtown Manhattan: Greenwich Village, Soho, the West Village, Nolita, Chelsea, Gramercy… Here you are surrounded by incredible restaurants, stores, and coffee shops. You’re a stone’s throw from the Union Square Dog Run, NYU, beautiful tree-lined brownstone streets, and Washington Square Park (which has two great dog parks of its own). You also have access to numerous subway lines that will take you almost anywhere you need to go.

The Hyatt Union Square hotel itself is comfortable and clean, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. Pets up to 50lbs are welcome for a one-time fee of $150.

PET POLICY & ACCOMMODATIONS at Hyatt Union Square New York:

Pets up to 50lbs are welcome

$150 per stay

Walking distance to Union Square Dog Run (0.2 miles) and Washington Square 

The Westin New York at Times Square — Theater District

The Westin New York at Times Square is a great pet-friendly hotel to consider if you want to be in the hustle and bustle of New York City and/or plan to see a lot of shows while you’re here. Located just one avenue west of Times Square, this Westin is in the heart of the Theater District and surrounded by everything touristy. It is also a 20-minute walk (or 5-10 minute drive) to the southwest corner Central Park. Like most Westin hotels, service here is friendly and consistent, the rooms are clean, and the beds are comfortable. Dogs up to 40 lbs stay for no extra charge.

A Holiday Guide to USA Quad City 2021

Are you looking for ideas for that ultimate holiday? This time around, do something unique; get ready for the great USA Quad City trip with our multi-centre holidays. But this is not just any road trip; this one’s situated across the West Coast and East Coast of the United States believed to be amongst the most gorgeous places on Earth.      

The United States of America is a massive nation, packed with various sceneries and cultures. Because of all the contrasts across the different areas, it could be helpful to separate some places and discover more about what truly makes them so different. On your USA Quad City trip, you’ll find that the East Coast and West Coast are tremendously diverse places when it comes to the way of life, and each one serves various kinds of people.    

The West Coast is famous for its stunning beaches, its flourishing cities, and young, diverse occupants, and no matter what kind of traveller you are (explorer, artsy, family, historical, or relaxed), you’ll discover an ideal holiday in one of the many East Coast states as well.

Promising the best entertainment from morning till evening, this trip to the great USA Quad City gives you the chance to experience the best of the East and West Coast on your multi-centre USA holidays. These four destinations are the most famous cities that you could explore during your USA Quad City tour, here’s what each of them is famous for.

New York

New York is known as the city that never sleeps, is famous for the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge, you can shop at designer stores, and reward your taste buds with some of the world’s most delicious cuisines. When you’re done with all of that, you��ll have to make time for the museums. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA, Guggenheim, and the American Museum of Natural History all top the list.      

Gourmet restaurants, well-known tourist appeals, and marvellous street art – New York has all of it and so much more. Whatever you’re searching for, you’ll come across it in the Big Apple. The one issue you’ll encounter is not having enough time to see and do everything.

San Francisco

One of the most famous and distinguishable metropolises in the world, San Francisco is home to fashionistas, hippies, and techies while also consisting of brilliant summers, monuments, architecture, fog, and rolling mountains.

It’s famous for the emblematic Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, San Francisco cable cars, as well as its wealthy and varied culture.

Los Angeles

Recognized as the biggest city on the west coast, Los Angeles is famous for its huge amusement parks such as Disneyland, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Studios Hollywood, Knott’s Berry Farm, Legoland, and Pacific Park (Santa Monica Pier).

One of the other things that Los Angeles is known for is its TV, Movie and Music Industries. LA is the perfect destination for movie buffs, as there are several movie studio tours, as well as the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And, music fans would enjoy touring the music-themed attractions situated all over the city.

Las Vegas

Well-known for exhilaration and fun, this city in the desert offers up all types of options for travellers. The Strip, Las Vegas‘ popular resort-bordered street, shines with lights and reconstructed glitzy locations from cities all over the world. The Grand Canyon is just a brief helicopter ride away, and the adjacent hills and mountains are home to all sorts of leisure opportunities.  

Las Vegas is a globally recognized resort city, famous mainly for its gambling, shopping, excellent dining, entertainment, and nightlife.

Top Trendy Restaurants in the Cities

Anton’s, New York City – The rustic previous space of West Village’s Frankies 570 Spuntino has turned into Anton’s, a throwback European restaurant from Nick Anderer. The chef — who used to head the kitchens at Marta and Maialino — goes into his Italian food training with a pasta section titled “macaroni,” with choices like a bucatini amatriciana and linguini with clams. Elsewhere, discover raw oysters, salads, and entrees such as roast chicken or barbecued pork rib chop with apple sauce. Cocktails are variants on classics, which include pre-batched martinis that come directly from the freezer.

Holy Ground at 109 W Broadway, New York City – The next time you need a meat-heavy dinner in a refreshing-space, but didn’t plan far enough ahead of time to grab a table at 4 Charles or Minetta Tavern, visit Holy Ground. It’s an underground spot in Tribeca where you can envision Duke Ellington relaxing in a red leather booth having an old-fashioned and porterhouse. This place isn’t a customary steakhouse though – the Old Fashioneds are prepared with mezcal and tequila, and the menu concentrates on slow-smoked meats such as pork shoulder and wagyu brisket.

Dragon Beaux, San Francisco – A blend of classic and modern dim sum is on the menu at this always-packed Richmond District restaurant from the team behind Bay Area Stalwart Koi Palace. Everyone enjoys taking Instagram worthy pictures of the soup dumplings with coloured skins, but those in the know fill their tables with the type of inventive, accurately executed dim sum specialties you’ll come across at forward-thinking places in Hong Kong: blood-red rice rolls packed with fried fish, the city’s top sugar-crusted baked pork buns, and, for good measure, destination-worthy crackle-skinned roast pork belly. Try the winter melon hot pot with roasted squab during the night, when Dragon Beaux moves over and turns into a hot pot restaurant.

Pearl 6101, San Francisco – This restaurant has gained the hearts of metropolitan diners far past its warm, suburban Richmond neighbourhood location. In an exquisitely-tiled corner dining room, chef-partners Mel Lopez and Joyce Conway, offer customers handmade pasta and hefty wood-fired pork chops, accompanied by drinks such as the not to be missed Pearl Martini from partner/bar manager Nahiel Nazzal (it’s Oakland-distilled “sea gin” with Italian vermouth and pickled sea bean).

Olivetta, Los Angeles – There may not be a trendier restaurant in Los Angeles than Olivetta at the moment. The attractive space has four separate rooms with diverse auras, but the chief dining room with its luxurious sitting area, extravagant design, and modest noise level is the ideal spot to experience Michael Fiorelli’s welcoming but refined take on California Italian food. Try the grilled branzino, rye macaroni, and kale salad.

Found Oyster, Los Angeles – LA can always use more seafood restaurants, and this jewel of an oyster bar in East Hollywood has a compact menu from chef Ari Kolender that pulls from his East Coast upbringing. Find everything from steamers and shucked oysters to an enormous lobster roll.

Jing, Las Vegas – Downtown Summerlin’s new Japanese restaurant focusses on sushi, shareable wagyu hot rocks, and wok dishes with a menu from Joseph Elevado, the previous executive chef at Social House at Treasure Island and Andrea’s at Encore Las Vegas. Fire and water features equip the space that comprises of a courtyard and live entertainment.

Pepper Lunch, Las Vegas – A anticipated inclusion to Shanghai Plaza, the self-described “DIY Teppan” restaurant is already attracting crowds who are excited to cook their own dishes on the Japanese fast-casual chain’s signature iron hot plates, which go up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. After ordering at the counter or through an app, the iron plates are filled up — with the chain’s signature pepper rice, Hamburg sizzling curry, dry-aged steak, or pasta, to name a couple of choices — and brought to the table, where customers could decide the final temperature of their meal.

Top Travel Tips for Travelling Within the Cities

When you’re in New York, remember the hot zones for foot traffic so you can keep away from them.

Taxis are normally very expensive in New York and if you’re in a hurry, traffic will make it about the same speed (or slower) than the subway. Sometimes, walking is even quicker.

When in San Francisco wear comfy shoes. You would be doing plenty of walking on steep hills.

Locate the oyster happy hours – There are plenty of restaurants all over San Francisco that has an oyster happy hour at least once a week for around $1 per oyster. Ichi Sushi, Waterbar, and Waterfront Restaurant are great places to begin.

Spend Smart: There are some shocking ways to save money in Los Angeles. Dining on the best of food doesn’t have to break the bank as several amazing restaurants provide lunchtime specials on their most famous dishes. How about tours that cost nothing at all? Tourists could get complimentary tickets to places like television tapings, museums, and cultural events.

Know what to look forward to in Hollywood and Beverly Hills: In Hollywood, you’ll come across museums consisting of souvenirs from Hollywood’s past, the Walk of Fame, and the renowned footprints at Grauman’s Chinese Theater.

In Las Vegas distances are further than they seem, The Strip is four miles long, and because the buildings are so close together, they look closer than they really are – a two-building stroll from, say, Bally’s to Planet Hollywood is achievable, but any more than that, and you’ll ruin your walking shoes.

Plan your Attack – As with any new travel destination, you’ll get the most out of your Las Vegas holiday when you acquaint yourself with your surroundings first. After your check-in, take a stroll around your hotel and casino and remember where the vending machines, restaurants, restrooms, and seating areas are.
