3 More Reasons NYC Rocks

3 More Reasons NYC Rocks

1) Almost All Shops are open on Sunday (exception: upper Madison avenue). We recommend taking our Soho & Nolita shopping tour at noon on Sunday. Wake up late. Take your tour. Follow it by a late leisurely lunch at a charming cafe in Soho or Nolita. Shop some more. Drag your bags home. Take a nap. A perfect sunday.

2)Cover bands at BBKings. Almost any musician you have ever loved is represented at BBkings by a “look-alike band”, who are often as good as the real deal. Typically $15. Civilized environment with food & bev.

3)Philharmonic in Central Park. True that about a zillion other people also show up to picnic under the stars. But there is always a patch of grass to snag and hey, its the NY Philarmonic for free! July 17 2009.

What to Wear When Visiting NYC: July/August 2009

New Yorkers know the secret to summer style lies in comfort with style . This summer we will pair short or long, flirty dresses with vintage-inspired hats and sweaters so as to be prepared for al fresco dining or heavily air-conditioned theatres and subways. Bring these items with you to NYC or find them on a Shop Gotham shopping tour. www.shopgotham.com

1. Floppy straw hat.

With most of us trying to protect our skin from the evil rays, you will want to be prepared for those outings in Central Park, ferry ride to Ellis Island or strolls down Madison Ave, with the essential floppy summer hat. Find one on Soho & Nolita shopping tour www.shopgotham.com/daily-new-york-shopping-tours.php one sunny Saturday morning.

2. Island-inspired dress

New Yorkers live on an island, too! Just because our island has more concrete than sand doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy island fashion. Check out the great deals at Calypso Outlet to feel like you’re on St. Bart’s even when you’re walking St. Mark’s!

3. Gladiator Sandals

While sandal trends are more likely to be initiated on the West Coast, New Yorkers have fallen in love with these Roman-inspired treats for the feet. They are not only fashionable, but practical, since they come in a wide variety of colors. Choose brown or white to match everything or a bright, sassy color to spice up your sundress!

HAVE a GREAT trip to NYC!
