Well, Happy new year 2008 to everyone....Little late tho'.....So hope u all had a great party....In NY....ball drop is the famous one and the central park fire works....I would say it totally depends on the crowd.....where u r standing......U got to be waiting from 31st morning if u want to be in the front....Else by evening it becomes so crowded, tho the ball appears small everytime....But again the ball drop wasn't so fascinating or amazing....no it was not....the fireworks were so lame....just when u turn back , u see the amazing central park fire works.....so I wud say, staying closer to to the 50's ....wud be good view of both ...... But cmon guys, just not worth waiting for 6-7 hrs and the ball drop being just nothing so good....wud say better....u watch in the television....it was better in that.....other countries had amazing fireworks like london, hong kong, japan.....it was just worth the wait there.....

Rockefeller Tree - Christmas decorations !!!
2007-12-28 06:35:00
Visiting New york this winter, then do not miss the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. The whole area is lit so beautifully and its just colorful everywhere. The Christmas tree is typically a Norway Spruce. The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is going "greener"? with energy-saving lights replacing old-fashioned bulbs on the towering evergreen this year. Weather permitting, the tree will also get some of its electricity from 363 solar panels just installed atop Rockefeller Center. The 84-foot-tall tree is covered with 30,000 multicolored light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, strung on five miles of wire. The annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony took place on November 28, 2007 from 7-9 p.m. The annual event was televised and featured musical performances from a variety of popular artists. The Rockefeller Center tradition was started in 1931. The Rockefeller skating rink is again a big feature amidst the lighting. This ice rink is a restaurant in the summer. You have many people skating...

2007-12-24 04:41:00
Guilty or not???.... U decide....!!!!!So there was a big list on players who were using steroids and human growth hormone . Roger Clemens is one in that list. But he has denied the use of drugs in his video that was out today. On the other hand, his former trainer Brian McNamee has maintained that he infact had injected the Rocket with steroids and HGH in Toronto and New York.

Cha-An Japanese tea house in NY !!!!
2007-12-19 19:35:00
A fast-paced passerby in search of something exciting will walk past the restaurant's humble facade. But if you are lucky enough to stop, open the door, walk up a staircase, and pull away two thick, square curtains hanging down mid-waist, Cha-an's warmth will encompass you immediately. Sensational Japanese tea house with excellent service, fine food and delightful assortment of teas. They have great lunch/dinner "sets", dishes and fabulous desserts that go great with their amazing selection of teas. Dim lit and quiet, the room is filled with wooden square tables and Japanese simplicity. The menus come in a big book. The majority of the book is dedicated to all the types of tea that they have. When the plate was served, the waitress rested a set of chopsticks atop a little black stone. The chopsticks were tied with a pink string making the experience seem like an exquisite little gift...The sweet potato samosas were presented in a relatively simple, yet still beautiful Japanese bow...

Is Dimple closed ???.......wait...wait.!!!!!.....Let me give the answers for this.....DIMPLE is VATAN ...... what ????.... yes....On the 30th street between 5th and broadway avenue was Dimple before....Now it is DIMPLE again but the management has been changed and is now owned by the same folks who own Vatan , which is currently being renovated. VATAN is coming up with a more bigger restaurant in that place. Dimple currently has Vatan's menu and its style -- the menu is solely prix-fixe and served in courses, but you can have unlimited helpings of any disk in any of the courses. Dimple has wonderful, authentic food, and it's often food that you will not find easily in other Indian restaurants. Dimple has an open ambience and is very different from the old Vatan's. The servers are all dressed in traditional Indian dresses, and even the plates are authentic stainless steel, with metal jugs for water.But now Dim...

The ghouls have landed
2007-10-21 20:01:00
Halloween comes to Bleecker:Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs are only two of the many stores on Bleecker that have "decked" up their windows for Halloween. Yes, there's ghoulish Dubya too. I must agree with RackedWire - the only thing scarier is the line outside Magnolia Bakery. The picture below was taken a little after 10pm and the line was half a block long - nothing unusual.Are the cupcakes worth the wait? Well, you can get good ones at Amy's Bread (250 Bleecker), Tonnie's Minis (120 W 3rd) or Billy's Bakery (120 W 3rd btn 21st & 22nd). Strangely, the cupcake seems to taste better after a long wait.While you're on Bleecker do not miss Rocco's Pastry Shop (243 btn Leroy & Carmine) or their Tiramisu. You might even get to see Matt Dillon. The Village Halloween Parade starts at 7pm on Wednesday October 31st (from Spring to 21st on 6th Ave).

Good bye to I ? NY........

LUSH - Universally Luscious !!!!!!!
2007-10-08 21:34:00
Lush, the homemade bath and body products company, is an upcoming shop in the US. Lush is growing stronger as a business every day and new shops are popping up in the country. The first thing you will notice about lush is the smell, it hits you before you even walk in. I must admit that i used to be one of those people who used to walk past and ignore the smell. All Lush products are handmade by the company itself using natural ingredients from around the world including fruits, vegetables, petals/leaves etc. All Lush products are not tested on Animals.There are so many wonderful items in every Lush store; it's easy to spend time lingering over the scented soaps, buttercreams, and shampoos. Most fun, however, is probably the shop design. To reduce waste, many soaps are arranged in large blocks, as in a cheese shop. The staff cuts off a chunk of your requested soap, bags and ties it, and puts your purchase in a sturdy recyclable paper bag. Also like in a cheese shop, the staff is ha...

Bronx Zoo - A great place to have fun !!!!!
2007-10-06 22:42:00
Would you believe that this is the largest metropolitan zoo in the US? Right here in the Bronx , a train or subway ride away from Manhattan. This zoo is indeed very big, and will easily offer a whole day of educational entertainment. The tickets aren't too expensive and you get great deals for groups. Plan your visit as Wednesday's are "dontaion day" here and they are free , but very crowded. Again, ofcourse like any other place , weekends and holidays are crowded. Be ready to walk and walk and wear comfortable shoes. It?s an excellent place for kids and adults alike. There is a monorail that takes you on a ride around the zoo grounds. It?s a good way to get an overview of the place and to sit after the hours of walking. Plan ahead and pack a little picnic beforehand. There are many cafes and food counters available. Check for winter schedules, as some sections of the zoo are closed. The animals have their home in a more natural environment rather than being caged. The Zoo is rea...
