What can you offer to help us learn about Williamsburg?
Williamsburg is the new hotbed of artist activities and one of the densest artist communities in the US. We’ll visit a few galleries and meet the artists at Brooklyn Navy Yard. It was America’s premier shipbuilding facility - producer of the USS Maine, Robert Fulton’s Steamship and the awesome battleships Arizona and Missouri. This 300 acre water front property is again dynamic as home to a new industrial community of movie studios, architectural designers, furniture manufacturers and artist studios while retaining a feel for its history.
Can you help me turn 60 this year with a complete make-over?
We welcome the Baby Boomer’s entrance into their 60’s. Fashion expertise provided by our wardrobe team help you learn to choose the best styles for your figure type, hair and make-up for your lifestyle. It’s a great weekend get-a-way so that you look your best on your big day. Remember, you are in good company. Both men’s and women’s weekends are a great bonding experience. Where else can you change your look, have fun shopping and getting pampered, enjoy a fabulous dinner and see a real Broadway show? According to Google: 7,918 people will turn 60 each day in 2006. That amounts to 330 every hour. The sooner that you book your next trip to NYC, the sooner we can help you.

Winter in New York is fun and more affordable than in the Fall. The museums, art galleries, theaters are all indoors, so you can stay toasty warm. Even most of the shopping is indoors. Check out the street vendors whether you want chestnuts, pretzels, hot dogs, or that must have latest handbag or sunglass style! There is something for everyone in New York City.
