Family Activities In The Big Apple – NYC

Give My Regards to Broadway
I’ve been going to New York City for years – my mother-in-law always enjoyed going to see a Broadway matinee. We’d go see a show, and then go out to dinner at Sardis, Jack Dempsey’s, Tavern on the Green, or Gallagher’s. Sometimes I’d go on a work-sponsored bus trip with some of my friends. Over the years I’ve seen Cats, Evita, Les Miserabes, Phantom, The 5th of July, Hello Dolly, and oh so many more. My daughter, the dancer, really enjoyed seeing Chicago, the Musical. I still have most of the Playbills from these shows.
Whether for a vacation or just a short one or two-day visit taking in the scenery in Central Park on a folding electric bicycle, one can’t help but think of Broadway and the delightful shows that await in these hallowed halls of entertainment delight. To me, Broadway is the essence of New York. It can in turn be rowdy, bawdy, loud, brawling, soft, comedic, or romantic and yet rip-roaringly hilarious. For those who are willing to look for their perfect fit, Broadway has it all.
The problem with Broadway is that there are so many wonderful shows to see and such limited time (for most of us) in which to see them. Probably those who actually live in The Big Apple have enough time in which to appreciate the artistic treasure trove that’s represented within this wonderful city that never sleeps. Actually, in order to properly enjoy all the theatrical offerings available to you, you’d almost have to never sleep yourself!
It’s important to remember that all shows are not available at all times. Check to see whether Broadway Theatre Tickets are available for the show you wish to see before getting your hopes up. On to the musicals, which are my favorite types of Broadway entertainment. Chicago, Mamma Mia! Jersey Boys, Mary Poppins, Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, and Wicked are currently playing right now.
Broadway is a great way to really enjoy what New York has to offer its visitors for entertainment. While it’s hardly possible to see each and every show that might interest you, it’s quite possible to make the time to view the one that is most appealing to you and it will be quite an experience for your entire family. Make it a tradition like my family has!

Ice Wine And Early Bird Specials

Settling In To a New Year
Visions of Ski Lodges Dance In My Head
Happy New Year everybody!
Hopefully all my readers had a safe, enjoyable holiday.
I was supposed to babysit the grandkids last night, but my daughter and charming-son-in-law’s plans changed, so the Hubster and I went out to our favorite Italian restaurant for an “early bird” dinner. Geesh, what’s become of us?
When we were younger, we used to go to New York City for New Years and party all night long; then the kids came along and we’d go out to our friends for a nice dinner and party and come home about 2 am.
Now, as Baby Boomer’s, it’s early-bird dinners, we stay home and the hubs turned in around 9 pm on New Years. Last night I blogged and tweeted and partied online doing the hashtag #lamenewyearseve.
I embibed a bit with sipped some Ice Wine on New Years eve. There’s still some left from Christmas, and since it’s sort of officially still New Year’s Day, I’m finishing it I finished it.
You may ask what’s Ice Wine? No, this isn’t a paid post, or anything of that sort. I didn’t know what it was either until I went to Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York to visit my brother one year. We toured some wineries, since it’s wine country up there.
Here’s the official Wikipedia definition of ice wine:
Ice wine (or icewine, as one word, or in German, Eiswein) is a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine. The sugars and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, allowing a more concentrated grape must to be pressed from the frozen grapes, resulting in a smaller amount of more concentrated, very sweet wine.
When my brother visited for Thanksgiving, he brought a house gift of Ice Wine from Hunt Country Vineyards for my daughter.
I would describe it as smooth and sweet – almost like a brandy. To me, it leaves a definite coating when you drink it, unlike a regular wine. It’s meant to be an apertif, or after-dinner wine. I serve it in my Waterford Crystal wine glasses. Perhaps it could also be served in cordial glasses.
I’ve tweeted about ice wine, and Renee Ross from Cutie Bootie Cakes asked what it was. Speaking of Renee – she was my Secret Santa Pal this year when I participated in the T.J.Maxx and Marshall’s Secret Santa exchange. More on that in another post!
Now, in my mind I’m sitting by a roaring fire or wood stove looking out the window at the snow-covered ground in New England here. I don’t ski anymore, but would be content to curl up in a ski lodge that has Wifi or read a good book, and sip a nice vintage ice wine!
Actually, I tried to order the Hunt Country online, but Connecticut and their stringent laws, won’t allow purchases of wine online (so I was told when I went to place my order.) I doubt I could even join a Wine of the Month Club here. In fact, even though Pennsylvania borders New York, they don’t allow it either!
I’ve found others locally at are equally as good – one has sweet flavors of pineapple and citrus while another has peach and honey flavors in it.
Have you tried Ice Wine? What’s your favorite! If not, you might look into it for Valentine’s Day!
Don’t forget to check out my Best Posts of 2009! Happy Holidays!

New Years Eve Party 101: Celebrate Responsibly
December 29, 2009 by Moomette's Magnificents (Admin)
Filed under Arts & Entertainment, Veranda Chit Chat, baby boomer, family, health, leisure, lifestyle, shopping, tourism, travel
Don’t Drink and Drive
Ringing in the New Year
I’ll be babysitting the grandkids this year since my oldest daughter and my charming son-in-law will be going out for a night on the town.
When I was younger I always looked forward to New Year’s Eve. My husband’s family enjoyed partying, and there was many a New Year’s Eve that we would travel from Connecticut to New York City and spend the night.
All the in-laws would stay at the same hotel in the Big Apple. We’d have dinner in the theater district at Sardi’s or Gallagher’s (where you can see the beef hanging in the window!) or sometimes at Jack Dempsey’s Restaurant on Broadway. Afterwards we’d take in the scene at Times Square to get a glimpse of the ball. Later we’d go back to the hotel and take in a show at Rockefeller Center the next day, and stop in at Tavern on the Green.
What was nice about going to NYC was that once we were there, the car was parked and we didn’t have to drive. We’d take a cab or walk wherever we wanted to go.
Many cities and towns now have First Night celebrations, which is really nice because most family events and are alcohol-free.
During the holidays, everybody looks forward to celebrating with family and friends. Our mailbox fills up with invitations to Christmas and Hanukkah parties, dinners, and other get-togethers. Through each exciting gathering we learn to control our eating to avoid those holiday and New Year’s pounds. Another thing to be aware of is how much alcohol we consume.
Everyone wants to get into the spirit of the occasion. But good natured frivolity can get us into trouble when we drink without thinking at office parties and other holiday gatherings. Having a truly good time means handling our alcohol responsibly.
We need a plan before we even reach the party.
Choose a designated driver. You hear it all the time but that’s because it’s important. This doesn’t give permission to drink until you can’t stand up but at least when you are ready to go home, someone who is in control of their faculties will be in charge of driving. To appear fair, rotate the role of designated driver among your circle of friends so everyone gets a chance to participate fully in the party happenings.
Mix your alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic beverages. One or two drinks can have less of an effect on us when drank intermittently with soda. If you drink only one or two drinks it may be best to hail a taxi rather than risk driving home because you’re unsure whether you’re over the limit or not.
Blood alcohol content is how the police test for the amount of alcohol still circulating in your system. In the United States, the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08 percent. Anything above that is considered breaking the law and will result in a DWI or DUI arrest and possible prosecution.
When someone is stopped by the police, they assess the need to administer a breathalyzer test. The person blows on the instrument and it registers a blood alcohol level. The number that appears is admissible in court should it come to that.
But, how did they know to stop you? Believe it or not, someone under the influence of alcohol tries to rationalize that they are alright to drive. It’s the ones who are just over the limit that rationalize the most.
They reason that if they drive slower, they’ll make it home safely. Unfortunately, the body has other plans. Alcohol slows the reaction time. As a result, people under the influence of alcohol drive slower so they have less trouble braking if needed. They brake more often because they are trying not to hit anything. Forgetting to turn on the headlights isn’t uncommon.
On the other end of the spectrum, someone who is blatantly drunk will drive fast, swerving across the center line and showing a disregard for traffic signals and signs. Wide turns result in accidents either with stationary objects or another moving vehicle. When people drink and drive, someone can die.
The bottom line is don’t drink and drive. The odds are against us that we’ll get away with it. Don’t bet someone else’s life (or your own) on it.

Happy New Year!

Best Wedding Proposal Story Contest & Giveaway

Hurry Down the Chimney Tonite
Christmas season is a popular time of year to become engaged.
My husband and I have been married for 35 years, and we Baby Boomers were engaged for two before we married. We got engaged over the Christmas holidays. It really wasn’t a surprise, as we had picked out my diamond engagement ring together. My oldest daughter and her husband became engaged at a Yankees game in the old Yankee Stadium.
Many couples today become engaged while on romantic cruises or weekend vacation getaways. Enter to win the Best Wedding Proposal Story Contest by sharing your proposal story on HansonEllis.com and WIN up to $500.
Some of the most romantic weekend getaways exist in the most populated destinations in the US. Here are a few to consider.
Needless to say, New York City is considered one of the most romantic spots in the U.S. Whether you enjoy dinner in your hotel suite or dine at any one of the five star restaurants, the night is always young for lovers who seek solitude in a city that hosts millions of tourists each year. Whether you take a carriage ride through Central Park, enjoy an opera or symphonic performance at Lincoln Center, or walk along Fifth Avenue during the evening hours; the city offers something for everyone.
Another favorite city is San Francisco. With its rolling hills, fantastic cuisine, and friendly people; San Francisco offers hotel stays that are sure to enhance your romantic side. Notable hotels are located in the Nob Hill area; and many others best views of the Bay and the city; or the downtown hotels that are close to cable cars, shopping, restaurants, and theaters.
Las Vegas, of course, is not to be forgotten. Time will stand still at this resort destination. With a myriad of hotels to choose from you can enjoy your time here without having to worry about time, because there are no clocks in the casinos.
With great weather year round (hot, but always dry), you can wile away the early morning hours at the hotel’s pool and enjoy the evening attending a fabulous show or visit lady luck at the casino.
Not too far away from me is Lake Placid, New York. Lake Place once hosted the Winter Olympics. Among the many things you might like to do is to take a walk to the neighboring town of Lake Placid, only two miles away. Here you will find shops along Main Street and you can gift shop or stop for lunch. Swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking are some of the activities available.
Once you’ve set your date, you can start planning and looking for personalized gifts and wedding favors for your bridal party!

Wendy’s High School Heisman Program and Wendy’s Gift Card Giveaway

Wendy’s Heisman Award
As a mom of two daughters, both now college graduates, I’m certainly aware of how much work was involved in keeping their schedules straight when they were in high school.
Both of my daughters were athletes, competing in high school lacrosse matches as well as cross-country meets. In between figuring out their academic schedules, and the associated trips throughout New England and beyond college campus visits, it was amazing that the girls also found time to have part-time jobs.
Additionally, my daughters attended a private high school which required 15 hours of community service per school year as a requirement to graduate. Each of the girls had an excellent resume that they submitted when they filled out their college applications. Each daughter was recruited by coaches to play their respective sports at the college they decided to attend.
Wendy’s High School Heisman Award
With college admissions growing more and more selective, the Wendy’s High School Heisman program presents a great opportunity to help those students who have managed to balance so much, stand out. This award celebrates high school seniors who excel in academics, athletics, and community involvement; in essence, recognizing them for all of the things they already do. Colleges want to see well-rounded students who demonstrate dedication and commitment, making this program especially relevant and accessible.
High school seniors who have a 3.0 average or higher, participate in a school-sponsored sport and contribute to their community can apply at www.WendysHeisman.com, or a high school educator, guidance counselor, or coach can nominate them.
As a little reward, the first 41,100 applicants will receive a free Wendy’s gift card in amounts ranging from $5 to $50. One male and one female from each high school will win the award and continue on in competition for state and national awards.
Twelve national finalists will participate in Heisman Weekend festivities during an all-expenses-paid trip Dec. 11-13 to New York City. ESPN2 will feature all 12 national finalists during the Wendy’s High School Heisman Awards Ceremony, which airs Dec. 13. The Wendy’s High School Heisman website will display the names of all applicants and individual school winners on October 22, 2009.
Moomette’s Magnificents is hosting a Giveaway Contest! For a chance to win, there will be one (1) winner of a $20 Wendy’s Gift Card.
Please include a way of contacting you. Should you be the contest winner, this information may be shared with the contest sponsor in order to send your prize.
Main Rule: (remember if this rule is not followed then no others will count)
a) Sign up for my free Newsletter Updates to my blog through my e-mail Feedblitz link (on the top of my right column or let me know if you already are, in a separate comment).
This contest will run until September 24, 2009 at 11:00 pm.
For Additional Entries, check out my Contest Entry Rules.
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Wendy’s and received a gift certificate to giveaway and to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Send Me To BlogHer10
Sponsor Me to BlogHer10
After reading all the informative posts from my lucky blogging friends who attended BlogHer09 in Chicago this year, I’d like to introduce myself in hopes that I can attend BlogHer10 in New York City.
As I live in Connecticut, I’m excited that it will be held on the East Coast in 2010.
Building on the momentum of four consecutive sold-out annual conferences, BlogHer ‘10 will bring bloggers from every corner of the blogosphere together for hands-on learning, rich discussions, opportunities to meet with the brands that support them and plentiful networking opportunities. BlogHer ‘10 will take place on August 6-7, bringing nearly two thousand attendees together.
When: August 6-7, 2010
Where: New York City, New York
I ‘d like to attend this special conference so I won’t be a blog conference virgin any longer, and am seeking Sponsors to send me via either a partial or full scholarship.
Your company has the opportunity to sponsor me to one of the top blogging events and I will promote your company and brand while networking with hundreds of other bloggers to create an online marketing campaign for the same time period while you receive well-rounded exposure.
What I Can Do For You:
Event sponsorships are one of the best ways to reach your target market in an authentic way with a Blogging Professional who will promote your brand exclusively.
I will be able to promote your brand by:
- Wearing your branded company clothing throughout the conference
- Distributing branded promotional items such as business cards, samples, swag bags to conference attendees
- Tweeting conference happenings live as well as promoting your brand to my approximately 4,000 followers during the duration of the conference through my extensive Twitter and FriendFeed following
- I will do follow-up posts which I will share on this blog, in addition to my Fan page on Facebook
- Provide follow-up commentary to the many social networking forums that I belong to
I do not charge anything for these campaigns, and seek partial and/or fully covered event sponsorship.
Seeking Partial Sponsorships in $100 to $200 increments which may cover:
Conference Fee; Round-trip Train transportation from Hartford, CT to NYC; cab fare to and from hotel to Grand Central Station; hotel room-rate fee for 2 nights (double occupancy rate); some meals, incidentals.
Why It Would Benefit You To Sponsor Me:
Since I started blogging to share my experiences as a WAHM, I’ve have really grown to enjoy meeting new friends from all over the globe. As a professional Paralegal in both the private and public sector, I offer demonstrated business experience that I am able to share with women interested in working from home.
Moomette’s Magnificents has grown and morphed since 2007 and I’ve settled in as a Baby Boomer appealing as a multi-generational writer covering Work-At-Home subjects, e-commerce, Social Networking, Parenting and Grandparenting topics. My blog was voted and honored as one of the Top 10 WAHM Blogs by Sparkplugging for 2008.
Additionally, I offer Product Reviews from the viewpoint of an experienced Baby Boomer Mom and Grandmom “who’s been around the block.” I’m familiar with many products, both household and child related. I’ve seen what were the “hottest trendy household and baby products” when my daughters were little in the ’80s, and I know what the “hottest trendy household and baby products” are now that I have my own grandchildren.
The Internet is quickly becoming the medium of choice for marketers and statistically proven that Mom Bloggers are increasingly influential in getting the word out to decision makers ~ Moms and Grandmoms ~ about the newest and hottest products on the market.
As a Baby Boomer I am a cross-generational blogger and mentor, and am able to reach out to a wide demographic range of women who make marketing decisions.

Tips To Get Sponsorships To Blogger Conventions and Conferences

How To Get Sponsored to a Blog Conference
If you’re new to blogging, you’ve probably seen quite a few posts around the blogosphere from many of this year’s attendees at BlogHer09 conference convention in Chicago.
Besides BlogHer, future conventions include TypeA Mom Conference in North Carolina and Mom Summit 2.0 scheduled for 2010 in Houston.
Not only are the conferences educational where you can pick up valuable blogging and marketing advice, but you also have the opportunity to meet many of your fellow online blogging buddies.
I am looking forward to attending BlogHer10, which will be held in New York City next year. As you know, I’m from Connecticut, and it’s just an Amtrak train ride away for me!
The benefits of attending these conferences don’t come without a price though. Many moms blog for the sheer enjoyment of sharing personal experiences, while other moms and grandmoms blog to try to supplement their income.
In order to subsidize attendance at these conferences, many bloggers can’t afford to foot the bill from their personal finances alone and seek a sponsorship from companies that they have formed relationships with.
I too, am seeking Partial Sponsorships in order to attend BlogHer10.

Whether you’re just out-of-the-gate or are an established blogger and would like to attend any of the upcoming conferences, Trisha over at MomDot has done a terrific blog post summary on what to do in order to help you obtain Sponsors and get you started.
