To some, coffee-making is an art. Ask any coffee lover and you will hear stories about the origins of coffee beans, the various kinds from different parts of the world and how they are made. Brewing coffee is also another fine art that people appreciate and this is not just in developed nations, in third world countries, drinking and brewing coffee the traditional way has its down following too.

Coffee and art lovers will get the chance to experience both under one roof at this amazing place in San Diego called Coffee and Art which is located along 6th Avenue on the corner of 6th and F. The place showcases some of the finest artwork from Mark Richmonds and it serves as a place where art enthusiasts and coffee lovers gather together to share their stories and discoveries. It is very exciting to see how they pour their love in earnest while catching up with the latest news from the art scene. This attraction brings you imported goods from South Africa as well so there is plenty to shop around for.The owners of the place have lived all over the world, and along with their travels, they have gained much knowledge and experience and they have brought it here in Gaslamp style. 

Don’t hesitate to bring your pet dogs along because not only is the place kid-friendly, the people and owners love pet dogs too. The regulars usually come here to hang out with their family and friends during the weekends which means that it is rather crowded during on Friday and Saturday night. 

What visitors can expect from Coffee and Art is a cosy coffee and art shop which also sells specialty food stuff like oatmeal, croissant, sandwiches and various other types of coffee and tea. For those who have never tried Chai Latte, this is the perfect place to try that out here, there are many choices to choose from. The baristas sure know the art of coffee-brewing because some of our San Diego charter bus rental customers said that they have the mixing and blending of sweetness, bitterness, fragrance and amount of milk down pat. 

The only downside to visiting Coffee and Art is space. Although there are tables outside the outlet, it can get cramped inside the cafe during peak hours. When the weather permits, it is best to sit outside to enjoy the fantastic view while doing some people-watching and sipping your favorite brew of coffee. 

And most importantly, just like US Coachways Inc., they believe in treating their customers like royalty so you can definitely expect to enjoy prompt customer service. Please do not hesitate to give our customer service personnel a call for an affordable San Diego charter bus rental package.

It is the time of the year to start planning your summer getaway and there is no better place to have a summer vacation than in San Francisco. It would be amazing if you could gather your family and friends together and organize a large San Francisco charter bus rental getaway....even if it is for a weekend. Everyone needs to let loose and let go once in awhile. 

But why is San Francisco a best bet for summer holidays? Yes, you have all heard about the wonderful weather we have here but the real reason why San Francisco should be vacation spot of choice is because of this - events and festivals galore. 

In all honestly, during the summer months, there are so many events, whether one-off or annual ones, in San Francisco, even magazine editors and travel writers have a tough time attending and reviewing them all. The wise thing to do is to surf around on the internet, read some blog reviews or maybe ask around amongst your friends if they have a favorite event or festival in San Francisco that they wish to attend during the 2013 summer San Francisco charter bus rental vacation.

When we talk about the month of July and festivals, the first thing that comes to mind would be Fourth of July. Every year, there are different fireworks going off at many locations so, you would have dive in to do a little bit of research on your own. But word has it that the biggest and most awesome fourth of July fireworks is at Piew 39 and Fisherman’s Wharf waterfront. Often times, there is more than just fireworks and countdown...there are bands playing, sampling of food and drinks and offering of quaint crafts from the locals and surrounding businesses. The overall atmosphere is electric!

The month of July 2013 also spells Fillmore Street Jazz Festival. Come rain or shine, the show must go on during this festival, the show is coming to San Francisco streets on the 6th and 7th of July this year. The event brings visitors, tourists and locals the best of jazz music with continuous performances from local and international jazz artistes. Occasionally, they might feature awesome, talented aspiring jazz artistes too so, have a look out. On top of the buzzing sound of jazz music filtering through the air, businesses will take the opportunity to offer their palate-pleasing fanfare in the form of food and drinks on the sidewalk and into the streets. 

There are many more different San Francisco charter bus rental festivals and events but these are just the two that people most look forward to, so let the planning begin! In the meantime, if you are looking around for reliable, professional and affordable charter bus rental services in San Francisco, pick up the phone to speak to one of our sales representatives today. We hope to hear from you soon.

There is no denying the fact that when you are tired of all the heavy and fat-laden usual American meals, especially of the fast food kind, going to a sushi bar or at least feasting on a light bowl of unique Udon dish is the best thing you can do for your health, physically and mentally. Los Angeles has many unique sushi bars to offer. Our Los Angeles charter bus rental customers have all come up with their choices and we are here to share their thoughts with you. 

Asanebo is the first LA restaurant to pop into our heads when it comes to palate-pleasing sushi. This Jap bar is located on Ventura Blvd in the neighborhood of Studio City. Instead of the usual lit-up, bright and cheerful Japanese decor, Asanebo offers their customers a very ‘at home’ feel. They have been around since 1991 so, to say that they know what to do about coming up with new dishes to please their customers is truly an understatement. Their Japanese ‘kappo’ style menu also proves to be a hit with not just their regular charter bus rental guests, new customers also find their menu intriguing. There is a bit of a mix in terms of classic and fusion recipes and we expect that there is something in the menu for just about anyone. Zagat, a top travel, dining and drinking online experts, reviewed the food and said that Asanebo offers superior sushi and gracious service in Studio City while a reviewer on Citysearch also commented that the ‘small plates of raw and cooked gems share the limelight delicately and deliciously’. 

The other option for Japanese food in the city of Angels is Katsu-ya, a large chain of Japanese restaurant. It has made its name in the International scene thus far so, there is really no question about the quality of the food here. It challenges the rest of the Japanese restaurants here in Studio City by continuing to raise the bar on quality dining. People who are turned off of eating raw fish should give it a shot at Katsu-ya. They are not revealing the secret behind creating awesome raw salmon sushi but they have managed to make it easy on queasy people so, that is good on them. 

Teru Sushi offers up quite another mix in terms of the dishes that they offer because whilst sushi is their focus, people are coming here for their creative rolls instead! They have received many reviews online too, much like other restaurants but sites like LA Times, Yahoo Local, Yelp, Open Table, Chow.com and even Zagat.com are giving Teru Sushi their thumbs up as well. Maybe the secret to their success lies in the fact that there are some ‘Americanized’ items in the menu.

In the meantime, don’t forget to give us a call for the best Los Angeles charter bus rental package if you are organizing a group gathering, event, business meeting, exhibition, or group traveling. US Coachways assures our customers of our professional charter bus rental services.

Taking on both dining and sightseeing in one big swoop, The Tower of Americas is a local San Antonio charter bus tour attraction and diner that has been on the receiving end of much-deserved attention and awards ever since it made its appearance in the scene. The tower stands at an astonishing height of seven hundred and fifty feet, a lofty sight that provides customers and charter bus, party bus visitors with a spectacular bird’s eye view at the Alamo City. 

At the top of the tower is a modern, chic revolving restaurant called the Chart House Restaurant. Depending on the timing, we think that heading up to the top of the tower’s observation deck is an absolute must, the scenery is particularly breathtaking at night when Alamo city lights up and the streets take on a life of its own. There is something special for thrill-seeker guests at the observation deck - the 4D Theater Ride! 

Even for those of us who are not there for the restaurant, there is much fun to be had here and it doesn’t come at a big price tag. Admission for adults is $10.95, while senior citizens and military personnel pay a discounted price of $9.95, kids aged 4 to 12 pay $8.95 and kids 3 and below can get in for free. The admission fee during times when there are special programs or events is $11, generally speaking. On top of offering everyone an affordable admission fee, the admission applies towards admission into Flags over Texas and 4D Theater Ride. 

Opening hours for the various attractions are different too but at the point of this article and blog post, Skies over Texas is open on Sunday through to Thursday from 10am to 10pm while they close on Friday and Saturday an hour later than usual. Chart House: Legendary Dining is open from 11am till 11pm on Friday and Saturday nights and close a little earlier from Sunday to Thursday, 11am and close at 10pm. The tower’s bar, bar 601 is only open for Happy Hour from 4.30 to 7pm. 

Let this be a warning to all out San Antonio charter bus rental customers - the lines can be long, so be ready for the wait. In the meantime, if you are bringing kids along with you during your visit, remember to bring along some distractions to keep them occupied. For foreign tourists, you will be delighted to note that the tower offers you a short, informational guided tour as you explore your options about what to do, where to go and if you want to splurge a little by eating at the revolving restaurant.

White Rock Lake Park, a beautiful and gorgeous park by the lake deserves all the love and attention that the residents are showing it. The love for the park is so overpowering that they have decided to come together and form a group calling themselves ‘Love of The Lake’ or FTLOTL. The park has been attracting tons of tourists and visitors from all over the country for decades and despite suffering a little bit of wear and tear of years of use, it remains to be one of the most well-maintained parks in the country because of these dedicated, committed, energetic, creative and most definitely enthusiastic group of people who pour their not just their hearts but time and sometimes funds too into keeping the park clean. If you are going to be here for a Dallas charter bus rental group vacation, be sure to come check the park out. 

In short, they have managed to keep White Rock an urban oasis.

Although the local authorities are quite keenly aware of what the group comprising of young and old alike, they have given them a rather free hand in managing the park and ‘various adjacent sites. The park’s name and respite seems to have a god impact on the search engine industry here. Some residents clearly stated that the only reason they bought properties and moved to this part of the neighbourhood is because of the beautiful park.

The park has really come a long way, thanks to the park lovers, because back when it was merely a simple lake, no one thought anything about turning it into the destination that it is today. Together with the authorities, the communities have managed to up the ante for the park and now, Dallas charter bus rental customers admitted to driving from miles and miles away just to walk their dogs around the lake, and couples come for a romantic walk around the walkways. 

The beautifying and maintaining of the park has an exponential effect on local businesses too – many have decided to start their own businesses near the southern borders near the park and lake while others saw the business potential in the nearby area. 

Since 1995, the group calling themselves Love of the Lake have initiated nature-loving promotional programs like recycling, cleaning, picking up litter and other community-based projects. They are big enough to even have their Dallas charter bus events to liven up the atmosphere and share their love for the park with newcomers. 

In fact, people are inspired by their initiative called the White Rock Lake Museum and The Celebration Tree Grove and decided that they, too, can initiate something of similar nature. The Dallas Park and Recreation Department, we are sure, have a lot to them for.

There are always mixed reviews when you search up a local tourist attraction or accommodation, and that is fair enough. Everyone shares their experience so that users can make their own judgment and decision regarding what to expect when they eventually get there during their Houston charter bus rental trip. If one is unsure about what one will experience in Houston, there is still one thing that we can be absolutely certain about...the sheer size of it!

Along with wide open spaces comes immensely exciting outdoor activities for everyone, you see. Being the fourth largest city in the United States of America has its benefits because it is located near the gulf of Mexico...which also means that a beach getaway is one short mini bus, party bus or charter bus drive away. Visitors, whether you are coming in from another city or you are visiting as a foreign tourists, should spend the time here exploring as many different parts of Houston as possible. Even the far flung unheard-of cities have their own magnetic charm. Culture is something that the people of Houston are really proud of, so, it is time to get down, up close and personal with the locals, do what they do, eat what they recommend and explore it like a local Houston resident! You are sure to fall in love with them, we assure you. 

Once you are done exploring the hidden gems of Houston, the downtown Houston metropolis invites you back into your modern day society with places like Bayou Place, Galleria Mall, The Johnson Space Center and of course, the museum district. Well, if you know your way around, you don’t need a rented charter bus to get around.

With first hand knowledge about the culture, cuisine, preferences and lifestyle of the locals will enhance your experience when you come back to the museums or art scene. Basically, you would have experienced what inspires the locals and is in a better position to under why they do the things that they do and how. 

There is, quite literally, no ‘best time’ to visit Houston - ANY time is the best time to visit Houston in your rented charter bus because the weather is amazing all-year-round which also means that there is absolutely no need to pack any differently for the trip. What you MAY need to remember to bring along with you for your charter bus Houston trip is, perhaps, a large water bottle, umbrella, caps or hats, light clothing and also...sunscreen. Never forget the sunscreen. 

As long as you equip yourself with an open mind, an open heart, willingness to learn, quick wit, sense of humor and curious mind, Houston is a huge playground for the travel junkie.

When it comes down to finding a good sporting venue in Chicago IL, few can contest the fact that Beverly Country Club remains to be one of the best, most well-maintained and slickest too. They have survived years of years of serving the people of Chicago during large and important events - stadiums and fields come and go everywhere in the country because many venues don’t make enough cash or fail to attract large events to actually pay for the maintenance of the venue, the same cannot be said for Beverly Country Club.

Many say that the stadium contains much of Chicago’s rich history and remains to be one of the city’s historical cornerstones. The designer of the building and field, George O’Neil, had a great vision in mind when designing the place way back in 1908 but he wasn’t the only person who had a role to play in the architecture and design of the club’s main building and course. Others who contributed to the country club’s design are from the likes of famous golf course designer Tom Bendelow and legendary Donald Ross. In 2002, the golf course received yet another makeover and this time with the help of Ron Prichard. With so many hands playing on the design of the course, members and guests feel that there is always something new to look forward to every once in awhile. 

The country club also enjoys a boost in popularity because it boasts of a stellar list of celebrity and politician as their members and visitors. Sometimes, they can be spotted mingling around the pool, playing tennis and golf too. 

With such rich history behind it, it is of no surprise at all that it continues to be the country club of choice for locals when choosing a venue for their events and the beautiful scenery overlooking Lake Chicago is a huge plus. 

During the early years, Beverly Country Club has been chosen as the venue for large events like the U.S Amateur back in 1931 and a U.S. Senior Amateur later in 2009. Other events hosted here includes Western Opens and Western Junior and Women’s Western Opens. Some contend that the location and vicinity might not reflect the elite status that is deserving of Beverly but let’s just say that some of our Chicago charter bus rental customers thinks that when you step into Beverly’s plush building, it is like stepping into a whole new world. 

The club has a long-standing relationship with Western Golf Association which is a charitable organization that provides caddie programs for aspiring golfers. Donations to the organization to help sportsmen gain more experience is seen as a splendid gesture that is much appreciated by the members and guests.

The Floridian tourism industry is much focused on large bustling cities of FL and over the years, we do see that the people of Florida are thriving with the much-deserved attention that it gets on the global front. However, sometimes, we need to get away from it all, if not for just a little while. Yes, sure Fort Lauderdale’s amazing, and yes, so is Miami. They have some of the best beaches, after all, but there are other more far-flung hidden gems in Florida that provides for a great place for a restful, relaxing and undisturbed getaway with family and friends.

One such place is Port St. Joe which is tucked into a corner between the US Highway 98 and State Road 71 in Gulf Country. Stats shows that in 2007, there are slightly more than three thousand five hundred people calling this quaint little town home. The town may be small in size but that is what gives it a very personal and distinctive flavor. Hence, the town coined up its own tagline - Port St. Joe is a small town with a big heart. There is no truer town tagline in America. 

The town is an evergreen place that welcomes Florida charter bus rental visitors who are looking for a getaway....a REAL getaway, a quiet respite from the noise that city life is so famous (or infamous) for. Here, the friendly people of Port St. Joe will not hesitate to show you just exactly how life should be lived and to slow down. Don’t believe everything that we say, for those whose curiosity is itching up, try Google up images of Port St. Joe and there will be postcard-perfect pictures of a rustic and charming town that reminds you about rustic fish shacks, small beaches, historical attractions and waterfront marinas. There will be opportunities for everyone to eat at famous, luxurious eateries, of course, but here tourists would rather waterdown the fanfare and sample some luscious, authentic Floridian seafood...straight from the sea and right into their stomachs.

Port St. Joe is also about three feet above sea level and if you climb up to the highest point which is eight feet above sea level, the vantage point (depending on where you climb) will be of either the seafront or the strings of surrounding highways. The town is not dubbed ‘Highland View’ for nothing.

As calming and serene as Port St. Joe can be, some of our Florida charter bus rental customers can attest to the fact that there are plenty of things to do here. Some relaxing and others quite challenging. One can most definitely spend a good whole day renting out a Seahorse Water Safari for a day of fishing fun or get in touch with the likes Two-Bit Stable for a horse riding escapade at the beach of Cape San Blas. Visitors often like spending a relaxing day swimming, playing, walking or sunbathing at the St. Joseph Peninsula State Park too. 

Take your pick.

Long before this nook on U Street became a hip place for the youngsters, Ben’s Chilli Bowl’s been serving up a storm in this quaint corner of Washington DC. It has become a hot topic between travelers as their hunt down dining spots in Washington DC on the internet. Little do people know that Ben’s Chilli Bowl’s been around since 1958 because of a dream that a pair of sweet, lovely newly wed couple had. The newlyweds are Ben and Virginia Ali who bought up the property and used nearly five thousand dollars of their savings as an investment towards renovating the building and turned it into a silent movie house, initially called the Minnehaha Theater. Within a short period of time, Harry Beckley took over and turned the place into a pool hall. 

In August of 1958, Ben’s Chilli Bowl opened for business and the rest is history, like they always say. The business remained and survived throughout the race riots happening around Washington DC and many other parts of the country - in other words, they have seen it all and enjoys a rich history behind the name. The Chilli Bowl has also received extremely generous support from big names and other celebrities during one of its anniversaries which only serves to cement its status as one of the most iconic and longest-lasting diners in DC. In 2009, President Barrack Obama paid Ben’s Chilli Bowl a visit too, for your information. 

Due to the original outlet’s exponential success, the lot next to Ben’s was acquired and then turned into a restaurant and bar called Ben’s Next Door.

The outlet enjoys a strong following and loyalty from their customers - they have said that as long as their customers do NOT want a change in the way business is done here, they will stay true to what the customers want. 

This place, however, is not the best place to hit for health-conscious lovers. There is chilli in practically everything that they serve, the cheese fries are to-die-for but is hardly a healthy option and on top of that, every single bite of the food spells nothing short of indulgence. Even with that put out as a warning, people continue to throng to the place for their famous food! One of the hardest to make item is the turkey burger. Those who have ever tried making patties from turkey meat should know how difficult it is to keep the burger patty moist, but Ben’s age-old recipe hits all the right spots with this simple and light dish. 

There is a very good reason why the diner contiually maintain its position as one of the best in Washington DC - they keep it no-frills and the focus is always on the food and great customer service.

The people of Boston love their markets, this is a culture that is quite unlike others in the country. The people are not merely there for the food, although admittedly it remains to be a top reason why people throng to the SoWa Market so eagerly on Sunday morning, they are there for a slice of culture, people and loads of nick nacks from vintage markets, galleries, shops and cafes. Here, you can easily find people walking around comfortably during the early Sunday morning after their workout sessions or walks in the park to hunt down stuff they can bring home to their family and friends. From jewelry to affordable housewares, these are just a few wonderful stuff sold at SoWa Open Market. 

For foreigners who are unfamiliar with the concept of food trucks, here, you can get your fill of grilled cheese sandwiches, pita pockets, hot dogs, ice-cream and many other different creative specialty food. What sets SoWa apart from other markets is that they have made it a point to be creative with what they sell and often puts their own individual twist to the more conventional fanfare. Located nearby an art-loving community helps, and it is reflected in creative t-shirt designs that can rival the best online t-shirt designing portal today! 

SoWa has come a long way, from being a local food market to the thriving flea market, food joint and food truck market. 

Located in one of the hippest parts of South End Boston, the market is home to a group of rotating indie makers and designers who helps keep the Boston market alive with their enthusiasm and positive outlook in life. There is just an incredible air of positivity in the air as you stroll along the extensive marketplace, whether you are keenly looking around for something to fill your stomach or merely enjoying the atmosphere. 

Make no mistake about it, despite the market’s size, it is extremely easy to navigate in a couple of hours. There are basically three different parts to the market - the vintage, farmers and craft market. In a lot of ways, the locals come here for some languid, laid-back shopping so that they can show their support for small, local businesses who are thriving on the sale of their creative stuff in the market. While it is true that you can’t find fancy labels and brands here but let’s just say that it is a great place for some slow window-shopping, a chance to get out for some fresh air and mingle around with the locals and sellers.

One of the biggest fairs and festivals in Philadelphia that usually is rolled out during the early days of spring or right smack in the middle of spring time is the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts. As the name suggests, the festival celebrates everything that has anything to do with arts and the creative world. What makes this festival unique is that it is a month-long festival which gives fans and participants a whole month of celebration and for tourists, you will have loads of time to do your planning so that you don’t miss your favorite activity. 

This year, the festival was held from late March 2013 till April 27th and the theme was ‘If you had a time machine’ and we found people thronging to the festival in earnest enthusiasm. As expected, there were promotional events, shows, entertainment, sale and also lectures relating to dance, music, theater, acting, art and it is also a great time to find your art school of choice as the schools often come up with attractive offers and packages during this time. 

This year, the festival takes people from all walks of life on a journey of exploration (in a fun way) which features collaborative work between talented individuals. They explore anything from the Big Bang to puppet shows, so, the theme is wide which also means that the festival is suitable for just about anyone. 

At the center of the festival, is THE Time Machine designed to take guests and visitors through an interactive learning experience. Visitors who went on the time machine said that the experience was realistic and special because the ‘machine’ reacted and interacted’ with the visitors. It sort of takes visitors through the different eras and times whereby the past is revisited and the future is explored.

Needless to say, a time like this usually would mean great opportunities to find local cuisine and drinks too as there are many stalls that are manned by friendly people located at the sprawling venue. This is also the perfect time to embark on a mouth-watering culinary adventure with some of the most famous Philly chefs who are known for their state-of-the-art creative kitchen work of arts, and this year, visitors had the privilege of tasting the wonderful cuisine designed by well-known Iron Chef, Jose Garces. From 11am till late 11pm, there are pre-show and post-show food and drinks available for guests. 

On the upper tier, an open bar serves as a place for visitors to sit down, mingle around and discuss the exhibits. The festival is an amazing opportunity for international professionals to come together to form forums and discussions too.

Suffice to say, not everyone’s into insects and bugs but one thing is clear, the kids are going to have a fun time learning more about some of the most dazzling and creative bug-themed displays and games. There is something for people of all ages here at the new New Jersey Bug Museum, or lovingly called a Bugseum, also known as Insectropolis. 

Instead of the conventional historical or science museum, a museum centered around bugs is truly hard to come by and besides, once people start to see why the insects do the things that they do, it might even turn a hard core insect hater into an insect lover at the end of the visit. The most interesting thing about this museum is the architecture and bug-themed city inside the museum. There is literally thousands of fun, creative, exciting, educational and some quite 'bizarre' exhibits too which the little kids and teens thinks is absolutely out-of-this-world cool. 

Find out more about some of the world’s most exotic insects from many other different parts of the world as the kids run around playing bug games on computers, explore the world of bugs on touch screen game centers or even play pretend at some of the exhibits. 

The museum also gives kids a one-of-a-kind first-hand look into the lives of bees as they buzz around busily for food and make a ‘living’ in the hive. The bees are safely cordoned off but lets the kids observe from a safe distance, therefore, there is no reason to worry about the danger of escaping bees. 

While some bugs are certainly off limits and are only allowed to be touched and handled by trained professionals, most of the bugs at the exhibit are more than safe for the kids to play with. Touching a tarantula might come off as a bit of a scare for most people but the insects which are otherwise dangerous in the wild are safe for the kids. We are talking about insects like tarantula, scorpion, millipede....well, if you will, cockroaches too. 

This is the perfect chance to get our kids to dispel the myth that insects are unloveable. They are part of the world that we live in and plays an integral part on the food web too - so, it is an absolute delight to learn more about these largely unknown and unheard of creatures. Apart from seeing it on television or discovering it in a documentary, there would be little chance for kids to actually observe a diving beetle eat up a whole small fish! Who would have thought about that, huh? 

When it comes to parks in New York City, the one park that comes to mind almost instantly would be Central Park. Suffice to say, there are many other well-maintained, picturesque parks in New York and when it comes to beautiful parks near the East River, the name Carl Schurz Park comes into mind. The park was named after a very prominent, caring and intelligent man in the nineteenth century, he was so well-respected that the park was named after him. Carl Schurz park is very different from other more populated and known parks because it is far more tranquil and peaceful. 

The building of FDR Drive required some changes to be made to the park but the main structure and size of the park remained the same. Locals usually come to the park for some peace and quiet, to spend some time with their family members outdoors, have picnics, get-togethers, a walk, a jog or simply to do some people-watching. 

Watching the view over river in itself is a very relaxing thing to do as the park overlooks Roosevelt Island Lighthouse. The spot is also famously well-known to photographers because of the gorgeous view at the river. As the locals walk their dogs, take their kids out for walks in their trollies, photographers and strollers get to enjoy the sight of Wards Islands too. The Federal-styled wood-house, Gracie Mansion, serves as a great attraction for tourists and foreign holiday merry-makers, houses of such make and design is hard to find in New York’s concrete jungle.

Another adjacent house that never fail to attract attention is the long row of Queen Anne-style houses which is strangely (for modern day folks, that is) located at a dead end near the park’s 86th Street exit. This house dates all the way back in 1881, which explains the distinctive design and interesting architecture. 

There are many other different mansions and ancient homes that are equally intriguing which includes a native home built for the early owner, Sievert Classen called the Hoorn’s Hook. The house, because of its strategic location had a part to play during battles in 1776 and also during the Battle of Long Island after a bombardment completely ruined Walton’s house which also forced the American army to withdraw. 

Somewhere near the John Jacob villa’s old location on the park, there is a nice, shady picnic spot for anyone looking for a nice hangout area at the park. The Carl Schurz Park is the perfect spot for family and friendly gatherings and we would love to play a part in helping you make your New York city outing a successful one. 

We look forward to serving you in the very near future.

There is a very good name why the Dinosaur State Park was given its name; back in 1966, when construction workers were doing extensive excavation works at the site, several dinosaur tracks were found. Excited officials and city authorities were quick to jump in and make constructive moves to preserve the tracks. However, much to the disappointment of the officials, no dinosaur fossils were found within the site. It would have been an amazing find if they did. This, however, did not stop them from naming the park and the site Dinosaur State Park. 

Friends and associations close to the park officials rallied to turn the park into somewhat of a tribute to dinosaurs, in this case, artist William Sillin stepped in to create a mural depicting the Triassic period. Bring the kids here for the amazingly stunning life-size dinosaur models that aims to teach kids and grownups alike about the creatures that roamed the earth before mankind ever did. 

Not only will visitors get the chance to see and learn more about these dynamic and incredible creatures, they are given a first glimpse into the flora and fauna of the environment too because the park is home to more than two hundred and fifty different conifers, flowers and other plants in the Arboretum. Back then, they believed that most plants except the angiosperms populated the park area quite extensively. For those who are not interested in the plants can just enjoy the wonderful, warm Connecticut weather while enjoying the much-appreciated fresh air. 

The park also offer a well-maintained nature trail that takes you on a refreshing loop around the park and not to mention the fact that there are picnic spots for the kids, pets and friends to sit around for some good ole bonding time.

Educational organizations like schools, kindergartens, colleges, universities and churches love to bring the kids over on weekends because the park organizes a film day for visitors. To find out the film that they are showing during the weekends, please visit the website for more information. The movies are shown at the park’s well-maintained auditorium. 

Much of the activities happen during the weekends, so, visitors are forewarned about increased activity during this time. At certain times, there will be Meet the Park’s Animals programs whereby children are encouraged to come up close and personal with some of the animals at the park. The park officials welcome questions, discussions and suggestions about the tracks and share their experience and knowledge about what the Connecticut park was like during Jurassic period. 

All in all, Dinosaur State Park is the perfect place for a school field trip and it meets with the Connecticut State Curriculum standards.

For first-timers, it is absolutely easy to find ‘new’ places to enjoy, find out about and have fun at but for people who have been there and done that, finding a unique place to visit can be a little hard. It can be done but with a little help from others...for instance, like from avid travelers and event organizers that our Denver charter bus rental customers are. They come armed with an encyclopedia worth of unique stores, bars, nightclubs, casinos and small markets that comes with their own charm.
