We’ve all heard of the Orient Express, but in NYC the No. 7 train is referred to as the International Express. This is because you will experience nearly every ethnicity known to man when you take a ride on it. It runs the majority of its track above ground thorough Queens and you will be treated to one ethnically diverse community after another on your ride from Peruvian to Indian, Thai to Korean, Chinese to Colombian. This is a great way to enjoy the sites, stop and check out unique restaurants and fun destinations along the way.
Love dancing? Love food? One of the best aspects of New York City is its diversity in terms of food and entertainment and one of the most unique and tasty can be found right here in the Heart of New York. Sammy’s Famous Roumanian Restaurant features great homemade food and plenty of entertainment to enjoy as well. The talent on stage covers the gamut of songs from Fiddler on the Roof to the off color jokes of days gone past. The entertainment is accompanied by chopped liver and a vodka bottle that is encased in ice as well as plenty of other traditional Roumanian food options as well.
What better way to experience this city than with a performance art tour? These programs are run by Elastic City and you will find yourself accompanied by an artist as you partake in an experiential tour of the city. These tours are for those that enjoy pushing their boundaries and can be as simple as etching poetry into the sands of Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, to walking down one of the city’s blocks blindfolded. All in all, a brand new and exciting way of experiencing one of the greatest cities on earth.
