What: One World Observatory
Where: top of One World Trade Center
Location: New York City
Purpose: observation deck, tourist attraction
Floors: 100-102
This is a great tourist attraction in New York City. I never got to visit the original World Trade Center before it was destroyed, but I’m glad this is open to once again allow visitors a chance to experience the view.
There are a couple of things to remember… first, expect airport style security. They check everything going in. It is exactly the same security as you would expect at the airport. The only difference — you are not required to take off your shoes, but everything else is the same. Hats, jackets, belts… they are all coming off!
Secondly, if you want to visit the bar or restaurant, you must purchase an observatory ticket. There is no way around this. So, don’t expect to just ride an elevator for a view just to go to the bar — you’re paying for the full experience.
The World Trade Center area is still a construction site. As of this post, there are still massive areas of construction and the main transportation hub for the PATH and subways is still not complete. Expect to find many temporary walkways and partially opened entrances at this time.

Wine, an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grapes has been around for more than 9,000 years. The earliest known discovery was in China, where thousands of pottery jars were uncovered. Wine can be made from a number of fruits including apple and peach, with grapes being the most popular.

Drink responsibly and don’t drink and drive!

Name: Moscow Mule
What: alcoholic adult beverage
Ingredients: ginger beer, vodka, lime juice
Traditionally served in: copper cup
It’s another one of those drinks that was popular in the past and is making a comeback. Craft cocktails are now all the rage, so more drinks like this will be added to bar menus. It’s interesting how this became a fad in New York City, then went west, only to be mostly forgotten in the East.
I still think it would be better frozen, though…
And remember… drink responsibility! Sorry kids, 21 and over – please!

It’s another one of those old school phrases that I have learned over the years from my grandparents. So, have YOU ever had a package on? Next time, you’re out for drinks with friends… see who is the first to say YES!

Coney Island was settled by Dutch settlers in the 17th century. It became a popular beach and amusement park area starting in the 19th century. Once air and auto travel became more affordable, Coney Island lost it’s luster as city dwellers were able to visit other, more far off locals. After falling into disrepair during the 1980’s, Coney Island has made a major comeback with the opening of Luna Park, more rides, restaurants, beach bars. and independent attractions.
What: Coney Island
Where: part of Brooklyn, New York City
Founded: 17th century
Population: 60,000 residential
One of my favorite places for fun in New York City. Despite having a bad reputation and becoming downright dangerous years ago, Coney Island has been cleaned up and is once again, an exciting place for both friends and families.
Make sure you check it out, whether you’re a local or a tourist on vacation. After all, it’s the birthplace of the hot dog!
