Latest Updates From the Free Classified in New York Community

Most of the time New York can be a really interesting place to live in. I think that’s part and parcel of being a major metropolitan-cosmopolitan city though. 

Take the comic book bacchanalia, Comic Con that our free classified in New York community told us about. To be held this weekend at the Javitz Center, the event is expected to attract some really interesting characters (superman in red pants notwithstanding) and not to mention some really smashing parties at places like the one for comic artists at Blaggard’s in Fifth Avenue. 

Check out with the free classified in New York community on Click2City for like-minded friends who would love to step out for an event like this. 

For cocoa connoisseurs there is the Chocolate Carnival at the Ritz-Carlton, where for a mere $75 chocoholics can stuff their bellies with all-you-can-eat chocolate goodies and soak their senses with chocolate-themed cocktails. 

What more excuse do you need to kick-start Valentine’s Day! You could also rent a car in New York or hire exclusive chauffeured limousines to complete the luxury experience. 

For the technologically oriented, there is the first ever Social Media Week to be held in New York to look forward to. From February 9 onwards, web top-honchos like David Karp (of Tumblr fame) and Charles Foreman (of iminlikewithyou fame) will be offering insight on various social media related topics. 

All-in-all, a rather busy week for all of our free classified in New York members.

Bachelor’s Party Incomplete Without The Right Catering Service In Boston

Special occasions demand just the right touch, especially if that special occasion involves a wedding. Among the tiny little details the best man and the maid of honor need to take care of, is the bachelor and bachelorette party. 

Whether you are arranging a party for the groom separate from the bride’s or whether you are arranging a combined one with the maid-of-honor, there are a lot of fun options that have been followed from days gone by. Mostly, these parties involve only close friends of the bride and the groom and is traditionally tagged ‘the last night of freedom’, where the couple can let down their hair before the big day. 

Rather than pub hopping or hiring out a club, think about hiring a catering service in Boston to take care of your friend’s party. It will only go to show that you have taken an extra effort towards making the night special for your friends. 

There are many fun options you can include in a bachelor party and a good catering service in Boston will definitely help you iron out the details. For instance, if you would like to arrange for a party to pander to the groom’s football fixation, then check out with the caterers if they would accommodate you with steaks, beers, franks and other junk to go with the mood and theme of the party. 

Get creative- catering services in Boston offer a plethora of cuisines and alcohol to set the mood for a party. You could perhaps combine finances and ideas with the rest of the groomsmen to make the bachelor party truly memorable by arranging for a favorite band of the groom to get over to his house to perform. The options are endless!

Take A Trip To Ogle At The QE2 While In Dubai

In June, reports of Istithma purchasing the Queen Elizabeth 2 for a cool £50 million surfaced and led to a wild bout of national pride that is still being resounded all over Dubai. The hullaballoo over this purchase is understandable and if you are in Dubai, you could rent cars in Dubai to understand this attraction better.

The QE2 is a very well known liner and possibly one of the most famous ships of all time. Diplomats, wealthy executives, musicians and a host of dignitaries and celebrities have treaded down its planks throughout its 39-year-old history.

Currently, plans are on to convert the luxury cruise liner to a seven-star hotel, after it docks at its new home- the Palm Jumeirah. The refurbishment planned for this marvel of old-world shipping liners is rumored to amount to almost double the cost paid to secure the ship.

While critics think that Dubai will, in characteristic flamboyance, replace the age-old patina with its gilt-edged renovation efforts, the developers behind the project say otherwise. Nakheel assures, “The soul of any ocean liner is the people and the experiences they have on board. We wanted to recreate those experiences and provide an educational and cultural experience in the whole precinct.”

Regardless of the financial situation plaguing the markets, the developers are set on seeing the project through. Who knows, the Queen Elizabeth 2 really might be the fantastic tourist destination Emiratis hope to feel proud of.

Check it out for yourself. Rent cars in Dubai for a viewing of the ship at the Dubai Dry Docks, where it is being worked on.

Catering Service In Boston For Your Chic Sushi Party

When this typically Japanese delicacy hit the international party scene some years back, hostesses simply could not do without a sushi bar at their soirees. While sushi bars are not that very common now, they still remain a status symbol of sorts in Western circles. Catering services in Boston boast of at least one sushi chef in their retinue.

People are ready to experiment though and cut down costs when indulging in a sushi bar for their party. In Boston especially, numerous Asian supermarkets and health food stores offer all the ingredients required to set up a homemade sushi bar. Some of these even stock sushi kits!

There is nothing that can compare to the novelty of having a live sushi bar at a party though. According to MarthaStewart.com, “A sushi chef trains for years, learning to select the best portions of the highest-quality fish and mastering both the methods of slicing and the principles of serving that elevate the chef to the level of artist.”

For an elegant dinner, hire a catering service in Boston that comes with professional sushi chefs. They can supply you with a chef experienced at being the highlight at a sushi party. Tuna Sashimi, Red Sox Maki, Nigiri Sushi, Yamroom Roll and accompaniments like Miso Soup, Wasabi Sauce and a selection of Sake can round off your party splendidly.

Baby showers, sweet sixteen parties and even weddings are wonderful settings for such exotic dinner entertainment, as the flexibility of sushi is such that even desserts for children can be fashioned from it. Log on to Click2City to start planning for your sushi party.
