Entertaining An Out Of Town Guest | New York Limo

Some of the best activities to partake in with an out of town visitor in New York City are frequently not mentioned in all of the Top 10 lists. Doing things like visiting the Statue of Liberty are essential, but they involve large crowds and there are alternatives. Instead you can spend some time planning and give your friends or family a real taste of New York culture and show them a piece that most visitors don’t get to experience. Here are some of Gotham Limo Service’s favorite things to do.

Wine Tour

Long Island is quickly being labeled as the next Napa Valley by experts and connoisseurs. These wineries are within a climate that mimics some of the most fertile wine areas in Europe; this allows the Long Island wineries to create top notch aged bottles. The best part is that they staff their tasting rooms on weekends making them a great get away with a New York Limo and your visitor.

Bowery Ballroom

Built immediately before the great stock market crash of 1929, The Bowery Ballroom stood vacant for nearly two decades until it was converted into a retail space. As the neighborhood went into decline, the building experienced several more significant vacancies. But since 1997, it’s been among the best music venues in Manhattan. Capable of seating 500 guests, indie musicians perform shows almost nightly and tickets are reasonably priced.

A Day At the Hamptons

Everyone who’s been to the Hamptons wants to return, and everyone who’s never been is charmed by its romantic quality. Take your guests for a weekend trip to stay in a bed and breakfast. Even if you can only spare a few hours on the beach, walks along the boardwalk are gorgeous in any weather.

Tour The Business District

Few visitors know the origin of the name Wall Street, which was actually a literal term for a Revolutionary-War-era wooden wall built to keep out the British. While the man-made barrier no longer exists, the region is still a striking sight for out-of-towners. A variety of guided tour options are available, including driving by limousine.

Go Shopping In SoHo and Greenwich Villiage

Fans of fashion can’t miss the opportunity to spend an afternoon browsing the boutiques in Soho. One of the world’s best fashion districts, options include legendary vintage stores that attract stars in droves, and many independent boutiques that offer selections from up-and-coming designers. If your visitor is a fine art fan, take them to the galleries in Greenwich.

Vacations and weekends away don’t have to be synonymous with sore feet, and a New York experience doesn’t have to involve the metro system. Treat your guests to a Gotham New York Limo with a local Chauffeur who can act as an informal tour guide. Show your guest the real Gotham City experience and give them a real taste of New York.
