LA Crawfish (Vietnamese Food in Houston)

Craving for Vietnamese food but not feeling like eating the conventional fast-food type for dinner? Well, then it is time to be a little adventurous with LA Crawfish. People mill in and out of the Unit B-2 Memorial neighborhood food court without ever noticing how unique the crawfish here is, assuming that it is your regular Vietnamese dish. But boy, can we all be more wrong than making this very simple assumption. There is a world of difference between the conventional Vietnamese food and the ones to be found at LA Crawfish.

This quaint restaurant is tucked inside of a Chinese grocery store along Ranch Market, it might seem like a very unassuming diner. But come meal time, the place will be packed to the hilt with waiting, eager customers. The bad part about the premise is that it is not as big as it should and could be so, during peak hours, there would be long lines.

And that is the great thing with a multi-ethnic place like Houston...it is energetic, warm, and there is a very enjoyable diversity in terms of people, culture, language, the arts, and of course, food. One would expect LA Crawfish to be filled with Asian people or tourists, at least but that cannot be further from the truth. The ambiance is comfortable, welcoming and the wait staff are incredibly helpful when customers are confused or do not know what to order from their extensive menu.

Surprisingly, there is a wide variety of food that customers can pick to eat together with their Vietnamese noodles, not just crawfish although that is their selling point. Customers have come, eaten, and said that it is a mish-mash of a couple of cultures and countries. You see food that is suitable for Americans, Chinese, Thai, and of course, Vietnamese. Considering the fact that these Asian cultures DO enjoy somewhat similar food (cooked with different spices and methods), it makes perfect sense to bring them all into one simple menu.

This kid-friendly restaurant is open everyday from 10am in the morning right up to 9.30pm after serving their last customers who are there for their dinner. There is a private parking lot for their customers but luckily for our Houston party bus rental customers, there isn’t a need to hunt down one for yourself. The diner is perfect for small gatherings too when it is off-peak hours but the bad news is that they do not allow reservations of tables so, customers would indeed have to be on time to be in the line.

It is the perfect Houston party bus charter bus stop for when you are absolutely feeling adventurous and craving for something a little different during your party bus charter vacation.

The Moody Church (Chicago IL)

Being a community church, The Moody Church is a very society-led religious landmark in Chicago IL and they revel in the ability to continue spreading the message and bringing people together. Tourists are invited for tours and join in on their service all the time and one does not have to be a Christian in order to enjoy the pristine and peaceful ambiance in the church. The church comprises of a culturally-diverse background so there are no restrictions about who can join them or tour the building site.

The church has a long history that goes back to 1864 and they have been working hard in transforming lives and people since then. This inspiring story alone should be reason enough to make a short Chicago charter bus rental stop for a quick tour. The church’s gorgeous interior decor and architecture serves as a nice backdrop for pictures too. The attraction has been drawing much attention and love from the online and local community alike and it is located at the intersection of North Avenue which criss-crosses with LaSalle Drive and north of Chicago. Suffice to say, the building is completely wheelchair-friendly.

For those who intend to join their Sunday morning service, please take note that there is usually quite a large crowd at the church - we are talking about more than two thousand people from all walks of life who will be congregating inside the building for the ninety-minute service. Visitors who are here for the Chicago charter bus rental tour are given nifty little packets and booklets to take home with them. The informational packet serves as a nice little souvenir too!

Some Chicago charter bus rental visitors felt bad about not contributing when the basket is passed around but bear in mind that donations is completely optional and will not be seen as rude. The church makes it a point to keep in touch with people who have toured the premises by encouraging them to fill out Connection Cards and they actively make use of online social networking accounts too, so they have their own Twitter and Facebook accounts.

So, what should we expect when we finally get the chance to bring the rented Chicago party bus to The Moody Church? Amazing music, inspiring service and an informational tour of the building and church. There is a very old-school feel to the church, perhaps, all thanks to the old-fashioned theatre seats that seems to have stopped the hands of time.

The feeling is always warm, friendly, welcoming and most importantly, inclusive.

St. Augustine Wild Reserve (Florida)

The little ones may not appreciate the noble actions, decisions and sacrifices made by the owners of this non-profit wildlife organization but they will most definitely appreciate coming up close and personal with some of the world’s most beloved exotic wildlife. The kind of animals they are caring for belong to species that we have only heard and read about and most of us may never have seen. This is your chance to come learn something new about these animals at the St. Augustine Wild Reserve.

The thing about visiting St. Augustine Wild Reserve is that the reserve is not open to public and they only offer Florida party bus rental visitors a tour of the place when the tour is booked through an appointment for the group. The animals’ welfare is always at the top of their list of priorities, therefore, they will only permit entrance to those who are genuinely looking for a chance to learn more and care for the exotic animals. These rescued exotic wildlife creatures are also protected from photography and filming because it is believed that some of the said animals feel irritated by the filming. That is sad news for photography enthusiasts but the good news is that the organization offer charter bus rental visitors a CD filled with amazingly gorgeous pictures of the rescued creatures at the end of the tour.

The tours are usually held on Saturday and Wednesday afternoons around 2pm, the timing is set based on, once again, the animals’ welfare. For guests who feel that the rules and restrictions are stifling, the organizers are acting diligently to provide the best possible environment for these kind creatures of capture but they WILL try to customize your Florida charter bus rental tour visit if given enough notice ahead of time.

The animals are kept safe within the 7 acre worth of property and guests are given a guided tour through the place while learning about the different species, where they came from, openly discuss about the details of the sanctuary and specifics about handling them. Some Florida charter bus rental visitors said that they were completely in awe when they got the chance to come really close to a few African lions. Guests can expect similar African exotic wildlife like White Tigers (they never fail to cause amazement), Krishna, Toruk and cougars as well. The sheer number of wolves of different colors, shapes and sizes is astonishing!

The organizers emphasized again that the reserve is a non-profit organization and whatever admission fee that is charged to the visitors goes back to providing for the rescued exotic animals. Instead of opting for Euthanasia when the previous owners of these wildlife find it difficult to care for them anymore, they are sent to this shelter instead.

So, by making a quick Florida party bus rental stop at this reserve, you are doing your bit in contributing towards the welfare of these creatures of the wild.

National Crime Museum (Washington DC)

Good Morning America called it a must for fans of popular American crime series CSI for a very good reason. The National Crime Museum, although not as new and updated as other similar museums around Washington DC, it continues to be most documented Washington DC museum there is and we strongly encourage our Washington DC party bus rental customers to spend a couple of hours at this attraction going through the wide ranging types of activities.

The museum’s main aim is to educate people about the history of crime and the punishments carried out for various specific crimes, a true eye-opener for some of us who are glued to the TV whenever a crime show is on. In the spotlight are some high profile cases, the museum gives visitors a chance to have a closer look at the stories of rescue and police investigation.

While the younger kids might not be interested in the posters and exhibits, we guarantee you that teenagers are going to have a splendid time looking around learning more about high speed police chases and exploring the artifacts related to real life criminals.

The museum is not your ordinary crime museum because the management and officials behind this amazing Washington DC party bus rental attraction is that they organize regular yearly events (namely the Cherry Blossom Festival), have a very updated audio tour program, run an active forensic workshop and manages to put up some exciting crime movie screening. In fact, if you feel like you wish to contribute towards their crime prevention mission, let them know that you would like to do something for the victims of the crimes and also help find missing people, especially children.

In a way, the Crime Museum is a place where tribute is paid to those who were involved in solving those mysteries. The heroes who helped bring justice to America are introduced to curious Washington DC party bus rental visitors while giving them a chance to venture into a whole new world...namely, the dark side of the criminal mind. The venture into the criminal mind will leave most visitors’ minds’ blown because it is an interactive activity that lets you in on a world that most normal folks like you and me know.

The crime scene lab introduces new technology used in crime solving while an interactive FBI shooting range intrigues and excites the mind of guests who are familiar with these scenes only on television.

The history of punishments, in the meantime, brings visitors all the way back into medieval times when criminals were punished in damp dungeons using the harshest methods known to man. For those who are interested in visiting the museum together with your family and friends, please do not hesitate to get in touch with US Coachways Inc. for your Washington DC party bus rental needs.

Palace of Sweets Adventure Race (NJ)

The kids won’t be able to resist it, especially little girls. Why? Just by simply walking by the center is going to bring out the squeals from the kids because it is a maze, it looks fun with the neon blinking lights and there are images and sweets and candy related decorations and items on the exterior of the building. Sweets and little kids, as we all know it, are quite inseparable especially when they are on a New Jersey charter bus rental holiday together with their family and friends. The Palace of Sweets is located in Wildwood New Jersey and they have been built based on one single theme - candy.

When designing the mirror mazes, the purpose was clear that they wanted the little ones to feel like they are entering a Palace of Sweets and suffice to say, the objective has been achieved. There is also an interesting story that goes along with the maze and games.

Once upon a time, there was a Prince and Princess who lived in this candy-themed castle. The Prince and Princess were instructed to learn all they can ever learn about making sweets before they are allowed to eat more of them and with that, the royal siblings set off on a quest to learn more about candy-making.

Upon entering the maze, visitors will feel like they are stepping into the shoes of those royal siblings and embarking on the same quest as they share, explore, challenge and learn all they can about candy-making while playing the games available in the Dark Forest. The destination, the children are told, is none other than Candy Glade. It is one of the most kid-friendly New Jersey charter bus rental tourist attractions there is in this part of NJ.

All in all, the games are not only fun for your offspring, even the grownups are going to have a field day with the consistently glowing lights, freaky reflections in the mirrors and the music is going to keep the mood going the whole day through.

It was said that the admission fee is a little too pricey for a single location/game/center but we think that the smile on the little ones’ faces is going to make it all worthwhile. The admission is, by the way, an all-day pass which means that visitors are allowed to repeatedly come in for another round even after they are done exploring the maze! There will be many things going on at the same time throughout the journey and we are sure that the kids are going to want to come back in for a second or third time just to see if they have missed something.

Palace of Sweets will make a fantastic birthday destination or summer vacation hotspot for families who are traveling in New Jersey in their rented charter bus for the first time.

Local Manhattan Flavor in These Manhattan Live Bars (NYC)

Despite being known for having the most theaters and broadway showcases, there is no shortage of bars with LIVE music in New York city as well. There is something very different about going to a pub with LIVE music...especially when we have talented artistes and comedians up on stage who are geared to entertain the night away.

A good place to head to with the rented charter bus for a bar crawl or a bachelor party bus get-together is a place called Bowery Ballroom located along Delancey St. between Kenmare St and Bowery, to be exact. The bar is open from 6pm till late into the night, officially it closes at 2am but the bar for most parts remain open because of the patrons and party-goers. The bar has ample space and can accommodate gatherings and large groups so, give them a call if a private space is what you are looking for. The best time to head over to Bowery is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. As it turns out, the main ballroom area has tons of space so that patrons can let their hair down and put on their dancing shoes for some serious dancing when they want to.

Gay bars are not exclusive to the LGBT community because bars like Marie’s Crisis have very regular, friendly and welcoming visitors too. The loyal customers know how to have more fun than anyone else, really. If that is what you are interested in seeing and experiencing during your New York City party bus rental tour vacation, then as soon as the sun starts setting, tell the charter bus driver that you would like to head to Marie’s Crisis on Grove St. in the West Village neighborhood. It is one of those friendly LIVE bar entertainment outlet that is loved in all of Manhattan and the good thing about Marie’s Crisis is that there is no cover charge.

You know how ‘Cheers’ the series made famous local bars with friendly people? How about the cafe that the friends in ‘Friends’ go to for their regular get-togethers? Well, yes, Marie’s Crisis is like that on most nights. A place for friends to hang around and catch up over a couple of drinks while enjoying LIVE entertainment.

The Happy Hour rate during weekday is unbelievable, the drinks are strong. The brew is a sure bet in loosening those knotted muscles that a long and tiring day at work may have caused. And remember to give us a call if a large gathering is what you are organizing. We can't wait to be a part of your party!

River Fest (Connecticut)

For those who are new to Connecticut might find it odd that the residents are so proud and fond of their river Connecticut...but the authorities have always played a huge role in accentuating the fact that the river is a connecting point between the metropolitan Connecticut society and nature. All year round, there are fun activities, games, festivals, gatherings, promotions and kid-friendly exhibitions being held at the river but come July 6, 2013, it would once again be time for jaw-dropping, gorgeous fireworks. It is River Fest time!

For one, admission or watching the games and contests being held during this festival is completely free of charge, there is no admission fee. At the venue along the river, there are activities like lumber jack competition, live entertainment, kids activities, rowing competition and also a spectacular water ski show that never fails to awe even people who have seen the shows year after year.

The fireworks, which is the highlight of the festival, is usually scheduled to go off at the strike of 9pm on that night so, be there early if you want to reserve a space for your family and friends. The festival is official on the road at 4pm sharp. If the entrance at Mortensen Riverfront Plaza is packed, we reckon you can get in more easily through the Great River Park entrance. Just get the Connecticut party bus driver to drop you off in East Hartford.

For this year’s participants, there is something new to look forward to - a new UConn Timber Sports competition which will see lumberjacks show off their unique techniques which includes modern and traditional techniques. For urbanites, this is quite an eye-opening experience, to be honest. It is exciting to watch them saw it off using different techniques but it goes to show that despite it being a profession that few people actually know or care about, they are completely in control of their work and the techniques are jaw-droppingly accurate. This year, there will be men and women in the mixed team contest and they will be fighting for the coveted titles this year.

Another highlighted feature of River Fest is the water ski show. The ski show is done by none other than the Oxbow team of performers who are all pumped to show off their best moves for the pyramids, ballet, skiing, and jetski shows.

At the point of writing this, the schedule’s not been updated and we suggest that our Connecticut party bus rental customers check their website at RiverFront.org for detailed itinerary and show schedules.

Getting Serious About Pampering Before Prom or Wedding

Is your prom creeping up on you and you are wondering if this is the right time to book yourself in for a spa session? Or maybe you are all stressed out about your upcoming wedding reception and are desperately in need of some really good pampering. If that is the case, we have some spas and salons recommended for you, our loyal Denver party bus rental customers and blog readers. Bear in mind that you will need to read up on the online reviews on your own before heading over because everyone’s perception, review and feedback is different - hence, we encourage you to read up on the suggestions before heading over.

We have heard random raving reviews about Voila Salon, Spa and Parfumerie which is located along Curtis St in the Five Points neighborhood. Professionalism and experience is an important thing to consider when it comes to spa selection. You are entrusting a stranger with your face, skin, hair and nails. You need to know that the people are well-trained about delivering on their promise. The people at Voila Spa are apparently well-trained to start work on complete strangers because they let you pick the stylist that you want, even if you are a walk-in who have never been there before. So, there is no preferential treatment to contend with. What is important is that the staff are thought to listen to your thoughts, requirements AND pay attention to your worries. After listening to what you have to say, the staff will give you a couple of suggestions to ponder and there you have it....your new look!

We know that planning for a prom Denver party bus gathering can be stressful and you know what stress can do to your skin, so book yourself in for a series of skim pampering session about a week before the wedding reception. If possible book a day spa which means a WHOLE DAY worth of proper TLC! A much deserved one, we are sure. We have heard from our party bus rental customers that you can get exactly that, for a fraction of the usual price, at Synergy Salon and Spa. Apart from the day spa, book up their individual massage sessions that last for sixty or ninety minute pampering sessions. If you need to add more time, you can add up with fifteen minute block time upgrade.

Don’t let the stress of organizing a prom or wedding affect the way you look on your special day. Please do book the wedding limousine through our special Denver party bus limousine rental packages so that we can take the load of ground transportation off of you. We hope to hear from you real soon.

Unwind Like A Phoenix Local, Bird Watching (Phoenix)

It has been said before (but we will say it again), if you want to the dirty details about a locality, the best way to do it is...to do it THEIR way, instead of doing the touristy thing that most of the time aimed at foreign visitors. But if the curious you is starting to get just a wee bit tired of the fanfare, then give this a shot - bird-watching.

And the locals call the bird-watching activity ‘birding’ and it is one of the most popular ‘sport’ in the state of Arizona. Phoenix locals are also quick to jump at the chance to go birding with their best pals during the weekends or off days. The reason behind why the activity is popular is because of the multifaceted terrain that is so Phoenix and this fact lends to the fact that birds flock over seasonally. On last count, according to experts, there are now more than five hundred different species of birds right here in Phoenix alone.

If you have a local tour guide to help you out, he or she may help you catch sight or catch on photograph the Arizona state bird called the cactus wren. The name tells you that the beak on this bird is curved but they are quite small birds, making it hard to catch without a good pair of binoculars. You don’t need to climb very hike up very far because the birds prefer to make their homes where it is four thousand in elevation. They don’t like to get too close to people (they are considered introverted but loud and noisy birds) so, getting an up close and personal look at them. Catching them in action on your camera should suffice.

There are countless places for birding activities and they include some far-flung places (but they are worth visiting, though, because some offer more than just the opportunity to chill with the birds but also some wine-tasting and hiking) like Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Oak Flat Campground, Burro Creek Recreation Area and also not forgetting places like Desert Botanical Garden, Pima Canyon and Gilbert Ponds. Get a guide if you are traveling and doing this alone. Another great option would be to take on a photo tour on the Riparian Preserve right along the Water Ranch. The Preserve is managed by a group of environmentally-friendly activists from the Town of Gilbert. Once you are done with bird watching and taking photos, a respite can be found at the nearby lake and do some fishing.

So, don’t miss the chance to get up close and personal...not with the birds, but at least with Mother Nature.

Slice Pizzeria Restaurant (Fort Lauderdale)

After a night out with your friends and family members, whether you are there for a large birthday gathering, a wedding anniversary, a business socializing event, a bachelor or bachelorette party, one thing is for sure…food sounds like a good idea. While there are many eateries in and around the downtown Fort Lauderdale area that remain open to the public after the sun has gone down because they wish to cater to pub crawlers and party goers, word has it that Slice Pizzeria Restaurant is quite hard to beat.

As far as location is concerned, it is on the dot because it is parked right smack in the middle of Shoppes at City Park which makes it easy to find. The restaurant is located on SE 1st Street. But that also means you will need to get in as early as you can if a table is what you are looking for. The joint is open in the early hours of the morning for breakfast and later on, for lunch.

The restaurant manages to balance out quality and pricing and they have it down pat as far as portion is concerned. If you there for the first time, give their gourmet sandwiches a shot…it is hard to go wrong with their Roast Turkey with brie, in fact. Absolutely mouth-watering! Other popular options include their Roast beef and blue cheese where every bite is said to be delectable and heavenly. While the attention should be given to the main dish, we reckon you might want to give their soups a try too…and they have many to choose from. From Thai chicken curry (if you have the palate for spicy stuff in the morning) to Tomato Bisque, there are soups of all kinds in their menu.

Don’t know what to order form the large number of options? Worry not, the friendly staff will not hesitate to point you in the right direction. After all, they know best about which item on their menu is fast-selling. The best thing about Slice Pizzeria is the price – it’s affordable and caters for large group gatherings. The unfortunate thing about having a group gathering in Slice Pizzeria is that they do not take bookings. But all is well if you head over bright and early first thing they open for business at 10am, then. If you are wondering if Slice is kid-friendly, the answer is a resounding ‘yes’. In fact, looking at the things that they have on the menu, the kids might end up falling move in love with it than the grownups are!

Have a good time during your Fort Lauderdale party bus visit!

Miami, A Premium Choice For Beach Parties

Located slightly on the south side of the country most certainly has its benefits - warm weather all year round and of course, endless trails of beaches is just another one of those benefits that Mother Nature has decided to give the Miami locals. That is the precise reason why people love to bring their rented party buses to Miami for their beach parties. As the temperature drops in other parts of the country, the number of celebrations related to birthdays, proms, bachelor or bachelorette parties increase tremendously!

Miami stands at being the eighth most populous cities in the country and it faces the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean. To see how much the locals love their beaches, try hitting one of the beaches during a weekday - they continue to be crowded with people from all walks of life, be it local residents, holiday-goers or foreign visitors! So, it would be strange to find a Miami beach completely stranded, in all honesty.

Made out of the 2nd most number of Cuban-American populations, the diverse culture and multi-ethnicity of the city of Miami makes a party bus trip here even more exciting and educational. Through the hotbed of culture, you will get to learn more about and adapt to their lifestyle - which is eye-opening, to say the very least.

The Miami port is not called the cruise capital of the world for nothing, mind you, it is one of the busiest ports in the world and it serves both import-export industry and passenger/tourism industry at the same time which explains why it is one the busiest ports.

Along the coastline, you can easily locate and rent out a beach house to have your party or gathering. After a languid day of sunbathing, swimming, trying out some watersport, and perhaps some surfing (If time permits. There are just too many things to do that sometimes you will find yourself spoilt for choice), come back into the rented beach house and it is time to get the barbeque going.

As night falls and the sound of waves lends the atmosphere a calming and relaxing sound, the mood is set. Get the drinks out, dig into the party comfort food, pull out the guitar and the party will soon head towards an unforgettable climax. A climax that you will most probably remember for a long time to come.

Another good reason why people love having their party bus rental beach party in Miami is because renting out a party bus or a beachside property is easy and affordable. Unlike other cities in the country where the property rental market isn’t as saturated, the beach house rental industry here in Miami is extremely competitive. And this can only mean one thing for holiday-goers and the everyday tourists - affordable travel!

The Flying Biscuits (Atlanta)

Lonely Planet’s review goes along the lines of ‘sleep in if you want’ quite accurately describes how The Flying Biscuits’ menu is not just a place for breakfast. Their all-day-long morning menu goes around the clock and the cafe serves up a storm of yummy vegetarian-friendly breakfast meals like omelets, oatmeal pancakes, tomatoes and a string of no frills fanfare of amazing grills. Of course, The Flying Biscuit would not be The Flying Biscuits if not for their famous fluffy biscuits and diverse choice of breads to go with the breakfast dishes. With all things said and done, our Atlanta party bus rental customers reckon that having their ‘breakfast meals’ for lunch and dinner is quite filling and adequate as well because of the huge portion of food.

One of the things that one notices about the customers is that they are just a happy, easy-going bunch of people who truly knows how to enjoy their food, albeit the healthy way. They understand and promotes healthy eating to patrons who are not vegetarians too so that we can simply enjoy the black bean quesadillas and burgers completely guilt-free.

According to fans of the place, one of the best traits about eating in The Flying Biscuit is that it is strategically-located, straddling a cozy neighborhood and adjacent to a bustling city center on Northside Pkway in Buckhead. For those who prefer to eat on-the-go, it is even more memorable to take away and then head over to the nearby Candler Park to slowly digest and enjoy the meal, all this while people-watching. Although finding the place is easy but the long queues, especially during breakfast and lunch hours is quite long, so please do be patient and trust that the food will be worth the wait in the end. This is a franchise outlet, therefore, you can expect the same consistency when visiting The Flying Biscuit in other locations in other parts of the country.

For those who are looking for a romantic night out with your partners, family and friends, The Flying Biscuit could be the wrong choice. What they offer is good food, prompt service and a laid-back atmosphere. Yes, it is extremely kid-friendly too and you can bet your bottom dollar that the little ones will not hesitate to lick up every last bite of great comfort foods like creamy white cheddar cheese grits or the famous flying biscuit meals served with your favorite jams or honey.

While The Flying Biscuits is banking on their loyal customers and local residents loyalty for business, it is on the receiving end of internet popularity too, so much so that foreign visitors DO come here in large groups during their Atlanta party bus tour.

That is, indeed, the great thing about the internet - good things will go viral.

Top Three Electrifying Night Spots in Detroit

There is no shortage of options for those who are looking for a great night spot for a bachelor party, bachelorette party or gathering amongst friends. Detroit party bus rental Visitors from all walks of life will come alive and celebrate in earnest the very moment the sun goes down, the same way the night scene comes alive in many other large, major cities in and around the United States.

One good example would be Luna where they claim that the atomic bass beats will mercilessly invade your senseless and leave their guests breathless at the end of the night. Luna is located on N. Main Royal Oak and rings slightly of the old-school beat bass. The theme is almost always retro and techno so, the atmosphere is a pulsating one that will have patrons putting on their dancing shoes and hitting the dance floor. The Luna, at the point of writing this article, opens its doors from 9pm right down to the early morning hours. There is no restaurant or kitchen in Luna but there is most definitely a full bar that serves you a wide variety of concocted drinks while you enjoy the hip hop, house, alternative, dance and electronica music that the DJ spins you.

Tonic is another fantastic night spot to dance your troubles away. This authentically individualistic nightspot can be found on Saginaw-Pontiac and they are ever ready to help you relax yourself and dance the night away. It seems to be one of the best places to be in Pontiac Detroit for a great time with VIPs, friends, family or to head to during a Detroit party bus bar crawl. The great thing about Tonic is that it is spacious, being housed in a multi-storey building boasting of multiple dance floors within the same premise. Detroit party bus rental guests who are not into dancing can find a relaxing lounge equipped with modern facilities which includes television and leather sofas on the upper floors of the building. The admission fee varies according to what you intend to do at the club but the dance and DJ service is most definitely worth every single cent spent there. It was reported that the DJ serves up a whole host of Top 40 music, hip hop, rock and techno as well.

V at MGM Grand Detroit is another force to be reckoned with. The bar is located inside of the casino club and is famous for the hottest scene deserving of locals and visitors from out of town alike. The admission fee of $10 and $20 for women and men means that you will get to mingle around with hundreds of party-goers every night. On Fridays, however, the DJ is inclined to spin more 80’s music than Top 40 music.

With places like this, we say it is most definitely time to put on your dancing shoes!

Baltimore’s Firsts

Baltimore may not be known for being the most visited cities in the country nor is it known for beautiful landscapes and quality attractions. But, for the record, Baltimore does have quite a long list of ‘firsts’ in the country.

For example, Baltimore was the first city in the whole of United States to come up with their very own professional sports organization in 1743. The Maryland Jockey Club was, much to many people’s surprise was founded before the Revolutionary War and is known as the oldest sporting organization in the whole of North America. It is something that many local residents are incredibly proud of, and they have the right to be so.

Other firsts for Baltimore includes having the first Post Office system in 1774 and the progressive people of Baltimore also created the first cross-state route which runs from Baltimore to Philadelphia. in 1773.

A more significant first for Baltimore is the first American warship to capture an enemy vessel - the Constellation which captured an enemy war ship despite it being a single-gundeck sloop war ship. The Constellation is the second American war ship to carry the same name, though, but despite that the role that it played during war remains significant to this very day.

And who would have thought that Baltimore is the first city to actually have their own umbrella factory in American soil way back in 1828. William Beehler was an innovative man and saw the needs to mass-create umbrellas....well, because people need umbrellas. There you have it....a need fulfilled.

In the 1830’s, Baltimore recorded two firsts, which is Tom Thumb coming up with the first ever coal-burning locomotive and the Baltimore authorities coming up with the first operating railroad depot at the Mt. Clare Station. It might seem like an insignificant implications today but back then when traveling and transportation was at its very basics, this was a much well-received news from locals and other Americans alike.

Moving on about ten years later, Baltimore had the first dental college...not in the United States but the first dental college in the WORLD which is called the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. And then within the same year, Baltimore Steam Packets Co became the first American steamboat making company.

Many years down the road, in 1966, Baltimore started becoming more well-known on the sporting front and Frank Robinson became the first ever baseball player to be named an MVP for both minor and major leagues, this is the kind of establishments that can only be achieved by really motivated, talented and incredibly focused individuals.

As you can see, Baltimore’s rich culture is reflected in the many ‘firsts’ that it has achieved over the years and knowing these facts, it makes visiting a local museum a much more interesting visit, doesn’t it?

Endless Spring Activities For The Little Ones (San Diego)

After the long winter months, we are sure San Diego is ready to peel back all the layers of clothing and finally find the chance to head outdoors for some fun! Spring time in San Diego is all about endless beautiful beaches, picnics in the parks and enjoying a languid time together with family and friends in a local attraction. Somehow, with spring in the air, the blossoms are out in full bloom while the animal exhibits in zoos and aquariums are also more active.

Not only do photographers love places like The Flower Fields of Carlsbad and Anza-Borrego State Park, the kids will too! There is something about the splashes of color that the flowers in full bloom automatically puts the spring back into your steps.

San Diego’s Seaword, if you don’t already, celebrated the birth of a new baby killer whale in February and is ready for the world. Apart from being the largest sea animal there is in the world, the baby killer whales are instant hits with babies, toddlers and little ones.

Seaworld is not the only theme park celebrating a new addition it seems, because the San Diego Zoo Safari Park also welcomed a new baby southern white rhino the same month this year! Under the watchful eyes of its caretakers, the zoo announced the birth to locals and proudly told the world that the baby weighed an astonishing one hundred and twenty five pounds....yes, at birth.

More recently, in the month of March 2013, Legoland introduced a new 4D exhibit called the Legend of Chima. The 4D exhibit is based solely on LEGO-made enchanting TV series of the same name. Chima lives in a land of mythical animals and they formed tribes over Chi, an energy can gives power to the animals, and the same power can be used to power their own vehicles. When the kids enter the exhibit, they will get the chance to join in on the battle and be surprised with the ultimate battle between Laval the Lion Prince and Cragger crocodile.

It IS spring time so, the San Diego is offering something fun for the kids too as they turn the zoo into a huge playground for the young ones through an extensive playtime program called the San Diego Zoo Play Days. Throughout spring, visitors can expect non-stop presentations, food features, opportunities to get up close and personal with the animals and also enjoy special activities featuring some of the animals in the zoo.
