We decided to take a day trip to New York City for July 3, 2007.  There was seven total in our group, from the youngest 7 yrs old to the 16 yr old daughter, plus myself and huband.  We traveled by van which took approximately 5 hours to arrive.  We took a taxi to the Museum of Natural History, then walked to Central Park, Trump Towers, FAO Schartz Toy Store, and Times Square.&nbs...

The New Jersey State Aquarium is a really nice place to visit.  They have Sharks that you can swim with, Hippos, that you can see up close.  They are open everyday from 9:30am to 5:00pm.  It really is fun place to take kids to see animals.  I would not recommend that you go during the summer.  It is usually very crowded with all of the camps during the summer months and...

I am so excited about this book.  I just happen to see that Oprah had a new book for her book club and they were going to be having a 10 week course on line about the book with the author and Oprah.  It peaked my interest.The book is called A New Earth Awakening to you life's purpose.  I have been going through a diffucult period and I thought why not try.  So I got the ...

Most of you have probaby experienced various hiking trips in your local area. The first time I went hiking in the Adirondack Wilderness was an unforgettable experience. I reached the peaks of the three highest mountains (the highest being around 5450 feet), not to exclude all the others I conquered. Most of the trails began with a long irritating walk through the woods, on puddles of mud and on...

When it comes to shoes I only like to buy them every 3-4 years. I bought my black New Balance shoes over 3 years ago and they look less then a year old. I used to walk for my old job door to door and in all types of weather, those shoes have been through it all, and you can't even tell!! They are super comfortable and do not have tearing or rips inside or out. Because they are black I think...

I live in New York, and every morning I always go to my local store to buy the New York Times newspaper, and the reason I do that is because the New York Times is one of the best newapaper's out there because it has so much great information about what's going on in our state NYC, and also about our country and the whole world. The New York Times really digs in hard to get all the infor...

You have no idea how hard it is to find an authentic Yankees cap these days with all these excellent imitations floating around it's really hard to tell the difference. However once you have donned a 100% authentic cap trust me you will know the difference! My cap's colour is black because no matter what outfit you wear it always somehow seems to assimilate into whatever look you're...

The Big Apple AKA The City That Never Sleeps AKA New York City!!! One of my all time favorite places to visit is New York City. It has so much to offer and you can never finish it all in one trip. I am never bored when I am in New York. My family is from New York so I am able to visit there whenever I want and I don't need to worry about getting a hotel room, which is definitely a plus...

By far I Love New York: The Complete First Season is one of the worst season episodes that I have ever seen and I really think that this lady is embarrassing VH1 because she has no looks at all and also this DVD was extremely horrible because I did not find one good thing about this DVD at all, because it was so boring, and it totally does not make any sense at all, and it is just a total rip o...

About a year ago, when my favorite Almay makeup was discontinued, I began to search for an equally good replacement. I must have gone through 10 different bottles of makeup, before I found one that I could live with.I finally settled on a liquid foundation, Revlon New Complexion Makeup Natural Beige (#4), and I found it to be a very light makeup, with even coverage--not heav...

Weird New York, by Chris Gethard, Mark Moran & Marc Sceurman, caught my attention immediatly. I for one am from New York, and the strange and quirky cover enticed me. Weird New York is basically an odd travel guide to all things weird in New York. I figured this book could in no way shape or form have information about my state that I altready didnt know. I knew about the Lady of ...

I have had my New York Times cookbook for so long, I can’t remember where I got it. I think probably my mom gave it to me. This is a very classic cook book and tells you everything you would ever need to know about cooking anything you would ever want to cook! My favorite recipe is what made me think of doing a review on this cook book, because I made my favorite chicken and dumplings...

Mario has always been the poster-boy for gaming worldwide. The Italian plumber, with his plump build, cheery demeanour and comical moustache, is perhaps among the most recognised characters of any media, and his appeal transcends the restrictions of the cartridge into which his likeness is engraven. Master Chief may be a badass dude, Gordon Freeman may have his way with a crowbar, but none can ...

Brand New is an alternative rock band that is highly known for their deep lyrics. Deja Entendu is Brand New's 2nd CD, a huge step-up from their full length debut. Deja Entendu is considered by many to be a work of art. Although Brand New is considered Alternative Rock, Deja Entendu is very soft and easy to listen to. You can't help but sing along to the entire CD. Jesse, the singer, is great at...

If you read only one magazine, it should be the New Yorker.  The magzine's event listings and its Talk of the Town Section, which features short, anecdotal pieces, are New York-centric.  However, the rest of the magazine has broad appeal for all readers no matter where they live.  The New Yorker features an eclectic mix of articles on topics ranging from politics to scie...

The first pay-per-view courtesy of the WWE starts off - and not just by that, it starts off with a blast and most considerably a night to remember. Enter New Year's Revolution 2007, the third annual edition for which, during its run, came to be more known as where "battles will end" by the means of pitting six men in an Elimination Chamber, all set for one goal - that being the Wo...

Recently I discovered I had mildly-high cholesterol.  Many years ago, I had a book titled, "The New American Diet", which offered nutritional information on fats, sugars, salt, etc.  In the back of the book there were a few recipes.  I used that until the binding came loose!  When this book was written, there weren't as many products on the grocery store shelve...

 So we end up going here every year and we bring my son and my nephew and have a blast! The entry fee is not that expensive, and they usually have some kind of promotion going. The last time if you brought in a Pepsi can, you got $5.00 off.  They have one price, and you can go on all of the rides. Obviously games and food are extra money, along with some other items.  If you go d...

The New England Clam Shack Cookbook is a cookbook with more than just recipes. It was written by native New Englander Brooke Dojny and covers coastal Connecticut up through Maine. The book is as much a travel guide as a cookbook which makes it a smart marketing idea. It draws in a much larger group than it would if it were simply a cookbook, or a travel guide. What she has done is shown her jou...

"Bitter is the New Black: Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smartass, Or, Why You Should Never Carry A Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office," is honestly one of the better books I have read in a very long time.  Wooo...my fingers hurt from typing out that long title!Bitter is the New Black is an autobiography told in first person by Jen Lancaster.  S...
