While on our latest fabulous date-retreat, and after our NBC Studios tour, my husband and I headed over to Rockefeller Center. We had passes to go ice skating at the rink, but the heavy rain outside had forced the rink to close for the day. We walked through the lower level of Rockefeller Center, where [Continue]

As part of our 30 Rock Affinia Package recently, we got passes to the NBC Studio tours in Rockefeller Center. NBC Studios, formerly an RCA radio network, formed in 1926 as the vision of Russion immigrant and successful businessman, David Sarnoff.

But, when traveling to a beautiful tropical island is not an option, it may serve as some consolation to know you can enjoy the sunset and a [Continue]

This past weekend the family and I headed out to The Adirondacks in Upstate New York to check out an interesting story about a community that has done some amazing things for itself. I recently wrote about how in 1999 the Big Tupper ski resort was forced to close due to shifts in demand which [Continue]

No car in the city, but dying to do some bulk shopping at Cost Co? Or how about just driving across town to run errands and load up on some hard to carry items?  Well, don’t worry about being seen in grandma’s car because for the month of March you can rent a Smart Car from Connect by [Continue]

Ah, Spring. At least that’s what it’s feeling like today in New York City. The boys and I set out to enjoy a few hours outside, after what seemed months of hibernation or enduring the cold. As my kids ran and laughed and played with the other kids, and I mingled and chatted with the [Continue]
