America’s Best Restaurants – Peter Luger Steak House

July 30, 2009 in New York Hotels by Steven

If you take your steaks seriously at all, you’ve probably heard of Peter Luger Steak House, a Brooklyn landmark voted by the Zagat Survey as the #1 steakhouse in New York City for an incredible 24 years running. Opened in 1887, the place is almost whimsically old-fashioned, boasting a Zen-simple menu, bizarre payment options, uber-manly décor and, oh yeah, some righteous steaks.

Visit the Edible Garden at New York Botanical Garden

July 9, 2009 in Events, Food Events, Museums, New Jersey Hotels, New York Hotels, Outdoor Adventure, Shopping, Summer Vacations by Steven

Here’s a neat one. From now through September 13, the New York Botanical Garden is combining agriculture and education with every red-blooded American’s favorite pastime: eating. They call it The Edible Garden. If you live in New York or even New Jersey, or if you’re traveling in sometime over the summer, don’t miss this one-of-a-kind [...]

4th of July in New York City – Macy’s Fireworks Spectacular!!!

May 28, 2009 in Events, Holidays, New York Hotels, Summer Vacations by Steven

(That’s right, three exclamation points!)
I have only one warning: if you take the advice I’m about to give, no local 4th of July celebration will ever satisfy again.
Do something different for Independence Day 2009 by packing up the family and heading to New York City to see the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Show on the [...]

New York City Fleet Week 2009

May 11, 2009 in Events, Museums, New York Hotels by Steven

Sorry for the late notice on this one. We get so carried away with lowrider trucks and hundred-year-old theme parks sometimes that we forget some of the coolest events of the year until it’s nearly too late. If you’re in the New York area a couple weeks from now, or you’re looking for fun vacation [...]

Support Green Hotels – Crowne Plaza Englewood Hotel

April 13, 2009 in New Jersey Hotels, New York Hotels by Steven

How do you know a guy from New Jersey has gone green?
He hides dead bodies in the trunk of a Prius. Oh!
(Forgive me)
In all seriousness though, there is a fine bunch of Jerseyites that actually have gone green over at the Crowne Plaza Englewood Hotel in Englewood, New Jersey, and since we’ve mentioned this place [...]

Eat Up! – Peanut Butter & Co. in New York City

February 23, 2009 in New York Hotels by Steven

Between today’s featured restaurant and our post last month on Juju Cereal Bar in Los Angeles, it’s clear I’ve got a thing for nostalgic eats. All I need now is a diner specializing in Kraft Mac N Cheese (only the blue box, please) and my life is more or less complete.
The Peanut Butter & Co. [...]

New York City Shopping Guide – The Shops at Riverside

February 20, 2009 in New Jersey Hotels, New York Hotels, Shopping by Steven

I’ve mentioned shopping in New York City before, and no doubt I will again, but as I was looking for a quick topic to write about I thought of the USA Travel Guide Pledge, specifically the point about doing as the locals do. I got to thinking: do New Yorkers really shop on Fifth Avenue, [...]

Travel Savings in a Down Economy

February 6, 2009 in New York Hotels by Steven

As I thumbed through the virtual news, specifically USAToday.com, I stumbled across an article that really hit home for us at USA Travel Guide. The headline reads, “As hotels struggle for business, some guests find an upside.”
It’s no lie: during times of economic downtown, the travel industry is especially vulnerable. Businesses start turning conferences into [...]

Valentine’s Day Getaways – Okay, Really Last One!

February 6, 2009 in Events, Holidays, New Jersey Hotels, New York Hotels by Steven

I know, I know, I’ve neglected one very important Valentine’s Day vacation destination: New York City. I know romantic getaways in the Big Apple are big business, and believe me, I scrounged around for a good package. But I just couldn’t find one that hit the sweet spot between convenience, reward and affordability. Until now!
Turns [...]
