Buenos Aires is home to a bookstore with a very unique location.   It was built inside of an old school theater,  complete with balconies. While the bookstore was created in 2000,  the theater itself has old roots. According to Wikipedia : Situated at 1860 Santa Fe Avenue in Barrio …

There’s a video of a man handing out flowers in NYC going around right now.  The different clips show how touched people were, and how happy they were that he chose them. Here’s the video itself: I suspect this video took a lot of footage to get these results or New York …

With so much discussion going on about using No Fly lists for other purposes, I started thinking about a personal situation I had with being flagged while traveling. It started off pretty innocent.  I did the math and the summer sales to the Caribbean “cost” me less than traveling out …

Last week, I told you how to get free club access to a lot of the Las Vegas clubs.  Following that post (and following the one written a few years back), I’ve received a lot of questions about proper etiquette and what to expect. While I can speak to my …

I love technology.  I’ve been a huge fan of watching the videos of Broadway shows.  My favorite so far has been Legally Blonde because it immortalized Laura Bell Bundy as Elle Woods (and gave me something to watch when the show closed). But those were planned recordings that were edited after …

The Broadway ticket lottery is a system where last-minute unsold show seats go for really low prices.  This is different from TKTS because it isn’t merely a discount, it’s basically a fire sale.  Tickets can cost as low as $30 for seats right near the front. How It Used to Be …

Let’s face it.  Having tablets across a bar and at individual seats looks cool. I even ooo-ed over the DCA Terminal A renderings.  (which is the first time I’ve ever ooo-ed over anything Terminal A related). But I’m not actually a fan of the tablets overall. I was just at …

I’ve already told you hold to get into clubs for free.  So, what else can you do to reduce the cost of going to Vegas? Vegas seems to be one of those towns where your money grows legs and walks away.  You get in this warped set of thinking where …
