Dinner, movie and maybe a cupcake if you're really in the mood for a splurge. Sound a little familiar? If you're looking to break out of your typical date night routine and go for something unusual, there's an abundance of romantic and unusual activities on Long Island. Spend a Saturday sipping some of the world's best wines at a local vineyard, or challenge your fear of heights at a local rock climbing gym. Make your Long Island limo night out well worth your time by choosing something truly unique:

Bedell Cellars

Can you spare a Saturday? A trip out of the city into the lush, pastoral scenery of Long Island wine country might help you refresh, reset and reconnect. Local Bedell Cellars is a favorite for romantic dates, and their wines are outstanding enough to impress even the most serious wine fans. The vineyard is without a doubt one of the most critically-acclaimed vineyards in the region, with a long list of awards and accolades that include receiving the highest score for a red in the Eastern US from Wine Spectator magazine. 

Make an afternoon of it by calling ahead to reserve a private tour and picnic on the grounds (reservations required, typically $30-50 per individual). Or keep make a whole day of the experience and indulge in Bedell's tasting ($12 each) and spend an afternoon wine tasting at some of the best local vineyards by Long Island limo. Whether you go as a couple or plan a group date, it's a romantic, educational and memorable experience. 

Brokerage Comedy Club

Have the holidays put you in the mood to laugh? Brokerage Comedy Club has twice-weekly shows on Fridays and Saturdays, a favorite destination for local couples. Sit back and relax with a few of your favorite drinks and check out the jokes of one of the nationally-renowned comedians who often headline at the venue. Plus, it's pretty affordable - ticket prices start around $22. The club also offers some great eats to go along with the comedy. It's been a favorite date destination among comedy-loving locals since 1980. 

Rhythms & Soul Dance Studio

Whether you're actually planning a choreographed dance for you upcoming wedding or just hoping to reconnect in a new and exciting way, classes at local Rhythms & Soul dance studio might be just the ticket. There's options available nearly every night of the week. Choose from a Saturday group instruction session or book reasonably-priced private lessons with an instructor on a weekday evening. Every Saturday the studio hosts a social dance at 9:30 pm with wine included. You'll love showing off your new-found ballroom or latin dance skills.

Island Rock

Are you really bored with the typical dinner date night out? Some Long Island couples have chosen to reconnect in a pretty unconventional way, at Island Rock. The area's leading rock climbing gym isn't just a great workout, it's an exercise in trust. Indoor rock climbing is a partner sport, and one person is always engaged in monitoring the other's safety.

9 Business Travel Tips: From Long Island Car Service to Plane

9 Fresh Executive Travel Tips

A few decades ago, business travel was a little bit glamorous. Between comfortable airlines seating  and free time at the bar or pool to just network, it was like a paid vacation. Oh, how things have changed. Technology has increased remote productivity, and many of us have no choice but to keep really busy on the road. Some travel services have been reduced while security measures at airports are increased. We can't force your air carrier to transport you back in time to the glamour and luxury of mid-century travel, but we can suggest some ways to ensure your trip isn't a drag:

1. Don't Count on Overhead Bin Space

Ever since checked luggage start costing cash, most people try and maximize their amount of carry-on luggage. You've experienced the fight for space in overhead bins, especially if you're not among the first dozen to bid for room on the plane. Avoid large, rolling suitcases, which can mean you'll be forced to check your bag below. Some travel experts recommend you take two smaller bags instead of one large bag to ensure you're able to find room, even if you're among the last passengers to board the flight.  

2. Just One Suit

Pack a single matching suit if you can, and plan your shirts and accessories to match. Wear your heaviest items, such as your suit jacket, on the plane.

3. Be Organized

Organize your carry-on luggage well. If you've got a number of critical items like cables which are easily misplaced, it can be comforting to reach in and know exactly where they're located. 

4. Don't Forget Adapters

If you're traveling out of the country, don't forget to make sure you've purchased and packed the right electrical adapter. Read up online, and don't plan to buy one once you land. You could have a hard time finding an adapter in stores, or learn that your hotel or associates don't have one to loan. 

5. Plan Ahead for Internet

Internet access isn't always reliable, particularly if you're traveling abroad. While most corner coffee shops offer wireless, security experts recommend you exercise extreme caution, especially if you work with sensitive information or data. Besides, you don't want to get stuck paying upwards of $20 a night for access at your hotel. If you can use your smart phone to connect, make sure it's going to give you access abroad. 

6. Pick Your Security Line Carefully

If you're in a hurry, it's not always wisest to hop in the shortest security line. Avoid getting behind passengers in large groups, carrying animals or unusual luggage. 

7. Pack Your Carry-Ons Well

You know the reason why boarding is often a drawn-out process? It's caused by poor organization in carry-on bags. Don't be that person who stands in the aisle, holding up traffic, while they rummage through their bags to find their reading material or laptop. Pull it out ahead of time, or organize one bag so it's ready to stow from the get-go. 

8. Eat First

If you're going to be flying cross-country or a red-eye, board the plane ready for sleep. Eat a healthy meal an hour or two before you board and ensure you're wearing the most comfortable clothes possible. If you're aware from the start that you're just not going to get enough sleep that night, it's prudent to be as prepared as possible.

9. Eat Healthy and Sleep

Many of the worst aspects of business travel are preventable. Exhaustion, weight gain and stress are all common, due to the fact it's difficult to sleep well and eat right on the go. You can't ensure your associate will be serving a balanced meal at the awards dinner, but you can control your intake when the choice is up to you. Drink as much water as possible, pick your free meals wisely and avoid excessive drinking on the plane.

Regional Foods We Love

New England food is terrible. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. From lobster to the world's best Italian-American cuisine, there's an abundance of delicious choices for your upcoming nuptials inspired by one of the most beautiful regions in the US. You don't have to go for the boring old chicken or steak at your upcoming ceremony. If you need a bit of inspiration for your ceremony, read on to discover how you can incorporate some of the area's best eats into your New York wedding: 

1. Lobster

It wouldn't be New England without a mention of lobster. If you can, try and include some at your wedding. Whether you serve guests full tails or include it in your appetizer, it's a favorite. 

2. Oysters

Who doesn't love oysters? Include halved, raw oysters as one of your appetizers or serve them up cooked among a full, seafood buffet. Your guests will be thrilled. 

3. Cod

No one loves code like natives of New England. It's a regional favorite baked or grilled, with corn and mashed potatoes. 

4. Italian

Italian-inspired dishes are a key component of many weddings in Long Island and New York. Usually something succulent like chicken parmesan stars among the entrees, or the classic but always delightful spaghetti and meatballs. It's a classic.

5. Apples

Brides are going crazy over regional, locally-grown produce for their wedding fare. There's no better way to show your love for New England than to serve up apples grown by local farmers. Whether you decide to offer guests caramel or baked apples, or any other tasty variation, it's sure to be a hit. 

6. Kielbasa

If your family originates from Eastern Europe or you're just a fan of kielbasa, it's a great dish to include among the entrees at your wedding. 

7. Wild Blueberries

There's few things more reminiscent of summers in the greater New York area than wild blueberries. Offer your guests individually-sized mini tarts or offer pie along with your wedding cake. 

8. Baked Beans

It's probably not the most elegant choice for a platinum wedding, but baked beans are a regional favorite. If you're going for a New England-inspired menu from top to bottom, ensure these aren't left out.

9. Pierogi

Who doesn't love fried pastries stuffed with cheese, potatoes or savory meats? A popular Eastern European treat, pierogis are part of the classic New England street food experience. If you're seeking unique appetizers, they're a fresh choice. 

10. Bulkie Rolls

San Francisco has sourdough bread and we've got BUlkie rolls. Serve them with garlic butter and your guests will thank you. 

Show your love for the beautiful East coast by including at least one regionally-inspired favorite at your upcoming ceremony. Whether you decide to go all out and serve a full menu of local favorites or stick to tried-and-true Italian-American cuisine, it's sure to be a hit.

When Do I Need to Make Plans for Valentine's Day?

Planning V-Day Near NYC

November 16, 2012. It's 90 days before the next Valentine's Day. While most of us are still trying to wrap our heads around the fact it's almost time to start Christmas shopping, the truth is that V-Day is rapidly approaching. If you've ever been in the position of trying to find open restaurant reservations on February 12th or 13th and ended up planning a NYC night out that disappointed your girl, you're aware there's no time to waste. We've compiled a comprehensive guide to planning the perfect holiday of love:

How to Score Restaurant Reservations

Even though it's likely the last thing you want to hear, the amount of time in advance you can make reservations at the best restaurants in the greater NYC area varies widely. Some of the best restaurants allow you to make. According to Michael's Restaurant (24 West 55th Street, New York. 212.767.0555), reservations are currently being accepted but they haven't started to pour in just yet. According to the reservationist, Mid-December is typically when they start to receive requests for tables. After the first of the year, the phones start ringing off the hook. To be on the safe side and score a coveted two-top at Michael's, it's wisest to call before 2013.

Marea's Restaurant (240 Central Park South, New York. 212.582.5100) is among the most coveted restaurants for a Valentine's day celebration. Consistently voted the area's top Italian restaurant, Chef Michael White works magic on dishes that range from the obscure (creative stylings of sea urchin) to the familiar, including housemade pastas. A quick call to their reservation desk revealed that scoring a table's really about timing. The restaurant will not accept reservations before 30-days in advance, which means that for coveted day's, it's wisest to call as soon as possible on January 15, 2012.

The message is clear if you don't want to be that guy, who spends the day before February 14th in a panic and cold sweat. Figure out where you want to go and make a quick phone call to determine their reservation policy. Mark your calendar or set up an email alert to ensure you don't forget to call as soon as possible.

Why You Should Go Limo 

You'll definitely win some points if you add limo service to your evening out. No one in Brooklyn, Manhattan or Long Island wants to spend their evening taking Metro Transit or trying to fight other couples out of the way for a cab. Go with a Brooklyn limo or an elegant chauffeured sedan to really make your lady feel like the Queen she is. You won't have to worry about that bottle of champagne you split with dinner.

The Bottom Line: Don't Wait to Book

Typical reservations start pouring in for an evening of car service in Mid-December. The longer you wait, the lower your chances of being able to score a ride. Just like tables at coveted restaurants, there's nothing left the week of.  Booking today will improve your chances of scoring a gorgeous vintage vehicle, and you may be able to take advantage of guaranteed, lower rates.

Besides, you don't have to worry about missing out on your table at Michael's because you got stuck in the famous NYC traffic. You can pay attention to your girl instead of trying to keep your blood pressure down while heading across the Brooklyn Bridge. V-Day is all about celebrating your love and making your partner feel special. Treat yourself to an evening where you don't have to be behind the wheel and she'll never know you love the experience as much as she does.

Barclays' Center and Hockey: A Match Made in Brooklyn

Brooklyn's Next Pro Sports Team 

As of September 21st, Barclays Center is open in Brooklyn. Between Jay-Z's sold-out concert run in late September and an exciting upcoming events calendar, it's quickly become one of the most sought-after venues for date night or guys' night out in the greater NYC area. The new, 18,000 seat arena is now home to the NBA Nets, who recently relocated from New Jersey, a move that marks the first professional sports team to represent Brooklyn since the 1957. It was just announced that this sports center will also host the NHL Islanders after the conclusion of the 2014-15 season.

Get Your Seats Now!

The NHL Islanders' move is more than a rumor - a 25-year agreement of professional hockey in Brooklyn has been put into place, and Barclays center is already accepting deposits for tickets for the 2015-2016 season. The move should ultimately benefit more than just hockey fanatics near the Barclay's center - attendance has been down the past several seasons at the Nassau center. The players should also benefit from the fact Barclays is brand new. 

Getting to Barclays Center 

Catching a basketball or hockey game is perfect for date night, a bachelor party or guys night out--unless you get stuck for hours looking for parking. Here are some reasons that a reliable limo service is a good fit for you:

• A touch of luxury makes your event stand out as memorable. Make a trip to the Barclays Center a celebration, and have your group or special someone travel safely, comfortably, and with class when you book a high-end car service for the evening.

• No one gets stuck as the designated driver. Everyone in your group can relax and have a good time, knowing that you have a safe and reliable way home at the end of the night.

• No one in your group has to drive in traffic. You don't have to draw the short straw and submit yourself to the stress of being behind the wheel during rush hour. Take a deep breath and let your driver be your guide.

• Say goodnight to public transit nightmares. New York City has some of the best public transportation infrastructure in the country, but it's still subject to crowd backups and delays due to malfunctions. Have you ever tried to get between NY Penn and Newark Penn stations when the Devils play at the Prudential Center? You may wait for a train or two to pass, filled to capacity, before you even get on board--and you still might be sitting in an aisle. Don't risk this during your celebration--have a roomy, comfortable ride with a Barclays Center limo service service.

• Save time and money by skipping the parking deck. Only about 1,000 parking spots are available for the arena, which holds 18,000 people, and some of those spots cost more than $40 a night. If you're lucky enough to get a spot, you'll spend an arm and a leg on it. If the spots are all filled, you'll circle around endlessly, searching for a place to park. Why not cut this whole ordeal out completely, and let someone else drive you?

The Nets will christen their new home court on November 1 in a game against the Knicks--it's a game you don't want to miss. And when you arrive, arrive in style.

Date Night by Brooklyn Limo

Planning a first date, 21st anniversary or something in between? There are an abundance of outstanding restaurants in Brooklyn serving up classic Italian, modern fare and the latest craze in the food world; local, organic and seasonal cuisine. We've compiled a few dining recommendations to add some romance to your upcoming date night by Brooklyn limo:

The Good Fork

It's pretty easy to tell just how your experience at The Good Fork will go from the moment you finally find their door, way at the very end of Red Hook. The name is simply engraved on the door, creating a warm, old-fashioned and entirely welcoming impression for visitors. Owned by a local couple who've joined efforts to create everything inside from food to architecture, you'll love the eccentric but adorable menu, service and atmosphere.

Dressler

If you're planning to dress up a touch, you'll fit right in among the art deco interior of Dressler in Williamsburg. The menu is wholly creative and inspired, and you'll love the affordable but high-class wine list. To discover why Dressler is often named among the most beautiful restaurants in Brooklyn, just look up: the chandeliers are custom-made!

The Farm on Adderly

It's no secret why celebrities love stopping by the Farm on Adderly. The fare includes options light enough for even the most strict A-List diet, and the outdoor patio is simply gorgeous. Much of the ingredients are organic and locally-sourced, plus the bar on site (Sycamore) serves up the perfect cocktails to begin - or end- your evening out. Despite it's blooming reputation, The Farm remains a romantic and comfortable choice.

Frankie's Sputino

Meatballs with red sauce. Mountains of pasta. It's always time for some of the best Italian-American cooking down at Frankie's Sputino, and you can turn the romance up by reserving a table on the garden patio. Diners are rewarded with fabulous fare and the overall feeling of a cozy neighborhood dining spot.

Cafe Moto

If your romance is a little off the beaten path, the cafe underneath the JMZ train might be your best bet. Offering performances of live jazz music every night and simple food, it's the perfect spot to head for a first date. Music is typically a fabulous ice breaker.

• Macari Vineyard, who harvest 180 acres of grapes annually to provide their visitors with the best possible product. Their Sauvignon Blanc and 2007 Merlot have received significant critical acclaim.

• Pindar Vineyards, a local, family-owned gem with a strong commitment to sustainbility. Even grape skins are recycled into compost at this hub. Owner Dr. Herodotus "Dan" Damianos was a pioneer of the Long Island wine industry in the early 1980's.

• Bedell Cellars Winery, who's gorgeous, historic tasting room was named among the top 25 experiences nationally by Wine Spectator magazine. Don't miss out on their stunning grounds, which have been described by The New York Times as a "world class estate."

• Baiting Hollow, a gorgeous, natural reserve that doubles as a center for rescued horses. This vineyard is particularly welcoming towards large groups and offers live entertainment each weekend.

• Pugliese Vineyards, who aren't just known nationally for the quality of their wines. They've also won a number of awards for excellence in packaging. True fans of wine should consider their facility tours, available by appointment.

• Long Island Spirits, a distillery who focus on artisan, small-batch methods to create some of the region's most beloved vodka, LiV (pronounced to rhyme with five). Tastings can include samples of their famed infused vodkas, which include orange, raspberry and vanilla flavors.

We've compiled a comprehensive guide to each of these top, local destinations that includes everything you need to know about making reservations, hours of operations, costs and any must-try vintages available. While wine tasting is a blast, planning out each of the logistics can require hours of effort. We've done the work for you, so you'll simply need to pick which appeal and make your reservations.
