NYC – Your Mileage May Vary

There’s Finally A Dance Club For the 30+ Crowd!

If you’re above a certain age, you may remember going clubbing – it was just a few years ago, right? – where you danced to the Bee Gees, Michael Jackson or maybe Christina Aguilera. You don’t do that anymore, of course…times change, lives change, you’ve changed and today’s music certainly isn’t nearly as good as what YOU danced to. But guess what? Put on your dancing shoes because a new club has opened and although anyone age 21+ is welcome to visit, the music is specifically geared to the 30-and-over crowd!

How To Get Cheap Tickets For Broadway Shows in NYC

When visiting New York City, one of the things on many peoples’ “must do” list is to see a Broadway show. Over the past decade or two that’s become somewhat more difficult to do, since the prices for some shows have risen astronomically, and other shows are just seemingly impossible to get tickets for, unless you order them months, if not well over a year in advance. Despite this, there are several ways to try to get last-minute tickets, even for those really popular shows, that may or may not cost a fortune.

Points & Bitcoin, A New Lounge in Reno, Don’t Miss Out on LOTS of Points, + More!

Hi friends! Here are the articles we saw last week, written by other travel bloggers, that we learned from, made us think or maybe made us chuckle a little bit. We hope you enjoy them!

While The Points Guy website tells you how to use points for Coachella, we managed to get the Holiday Inn Express in Palm Desert during Desert Trip for 20,000 points a night using alerts from Hotel Hustle.
Following American Express, Mastercard and Discover’s lead, Visa will no longer require signatures for transactions.
Tiffany at One Mile At A Time broke her own rule about dealing with call center representatives….
…While Ben (also at One Mile At A Time) shared what he thinks is the cutest W Hotel he’s ever stayed at.
Do you have to show your AAA card when you book with a discount? Some say no (and don’t even have one to begin with). I would never suggest this.
The 2nd Avenue subway is open and is not like your usual subway experience.
The similarity between points and bitcoin is that both can devalue overnight.
I love looking at people’s best pictures list because there’s a story behind every picture.
Having spent time in the Reno Airport before, a decent lounge is a nice addition. However, if it was there before I never would have won over $500 on a Star Wars slot machine while waiting for my flight.
Alaska Airlines still has customer friendly policies. Forgetting them can cost you a bunch of points.

Hate Standing On Long Lines In NYC? Hire A Professional Line Sitter!

If you’re vacationing or traveling on business in New York, or heck, even if you live there, you know your time is limited – you’ve got things to do and places to go and people to see! But if you want SRO tickets for School of Rock or to be the first person on your block with the latest iPhone or Air Jordans, or maybe your driver’s license is expiring and you have to get a new one at the DMV, it requires standing on line, sometimes for hours.

Well, you can! Same Old Line Dudes, LLC (SOLD) is a team of professional line sitters and they’re ready and able to stand on line on your behalf so you can get other things done.
