			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Central Park in New York City is the most famous park in the world. It  is a beautiful space spanning 843 acres that houses many landmarks,  structures, lakes, ball parks, and many other attractions. Getting lost  in this gorgeous landscape is a real possibility but might not be all  bad. While wondering the grassy interior you can spot people picnicking  in the large grassy fields, joggers running on the many winding trails,  children riding on a carousel and walkers strolling with their dogs  close at hand. It is a great place to pull up a bench and simply people  watch or just take in the beautiful spring or fall weather in an island  oasis within a large and bustling city.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/park-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-643" title="park-1" src="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/park-1.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="177" /></a></p>
<p>You can <a href="http://marriageproblemsblog.blogspot.com/">get married</a> in the park, take a carriage ride, watch a rock  concert or a ball game. If history is your interest you may want to stop  by and visit the Blockhouse. It is a fort left over from the War of  1812. Another landmark in Central Park is Obelisk. It was constructed  between 1500 and 1200 BC and given by the Khedive of Egypt to the USA in  trade for this country&#8217;s help in modernizing Egypt. This structure was  given to the United States in the late 1900s.  Yet another historical  structure a history buff might want to visit is Belvedere Castle. This  castle actually houses a working weather station.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/park-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-644" title="park-2" src="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/park-2.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="184" /></a></p>
<p>The fun to be had in the park seems almost endless. The Central Park Zoo  and Wildlife Center and Children&#8217;s Zoo is another attraction that is  world famous and draws millions of visitors every year.  It is only 6.5  acres but it houses over 1400 animals that are made up of over 130  species. These species are a range of three temperature zones: tropic,  garden and polar.  There are also 2 skating rinks and a swimming pool.  New York is a busy city made of steel and concrete. Central Park is a  lush, green paradise, filled with activities, great architecture and  wonderful sites, located within the city&#8217;s boundaries. Come play at the  park.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just about everyone knows New York is full of museums.

Some offerings in May 2012 included Domi Dollz Present: Shades of Kink, Wide Open Wednesday, and Girl &#8216;Gasm.</p>
<p>Past exhibitions have included Comics Stripped which featured comics over the decades that have featured sexuality and how the art has developed over time, and Stags, Smokers, &amp; Blue Movies which chronicles the development of sex films from there emergence in 1907 when they were roughly 10 minutes long and recorded on a single reel of 35 mm celluloid stock through the state of the porn industry today. So if your feeling a little frisky on your next trip through NYC or your honeymooning in this rich city make a stop at the Museum of Sex, you will be happy you did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a tourist, you will need to understand that New York is certainly the best place to go. This is where ll the fun is and you will never run out of things to do. Most people who think about New York will think about the Statue Of Liberty but there is more to the city. You can check out Madison Square Garden to watch the Knicks play some of the best basketball teams in the world. Make your way to Yankee Stadium to watch the New York Yankees play in the MLB and enjoy a great hotdog. If it&#8217;s your first time, you will also enjoy Times Square and the great musicals that are played all the time. If you happen to be looking for a place to live, then you need to understand that New York is also a great option.</p>
<p>Upper West Side</p>
<p>In this neighborhood, you will be able to really bring your whole family. There is not too many neighborhoods that allow you to walk around without having to feel like you are going to be attacked. The problem that most neighborhoods have is that the locals just do not care about each other. Our neighborhood ensures that everyone will look out for each and this is why you would love this neighborhood as well.</p>

<p>Convenience</p>
<p>Everything is just around the corner and the residents simply love this. You will be able to walk over to the store and get whatever it is that you need. Though this might not seem like a big benefit at first, you will come to realize that this will definitely save you a lot of time. When you combine safety and convenience, there is no reason why you would overlook this neighborhood as your next home.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/nyc-grocery.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-632" title="nyc-grocery" src="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/nyc-grocery.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="183" /></a></p>
<p>Whether you are trying to find a place to visit or you want to actually settle down, New York is the best place to go. This is where people are able to enjoy the quiet and enjoyable lifestyle without having to spend a fortune.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There were about 24,000 different restaurants operating in the city during 2010! Because of the sheer number of dining options available, it can be difficult to choose just one.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a family friendly restaurant in Times Square, you may want to try Mars 2112. When diners arrive at the 35,000 square foot restaurant, they are treated to a &#8220;space ride&#8221; which theoretically takes you to Mars. When the doors of the space craft open, you can enter the restaurant which is decorated like Mars may be in the year 2112.<br />
<a href="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mars-2112-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-624" title="mars-2112-2" src="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mars-2112-2.jpg" alt="" width="285" height="177" /></a><a href="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mars-2112.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-625" title="mars-2112" src="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mars-2112.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="177" /></a><br />
This restaurant is sure to please the kids and the kids at heart in your group. Of course, the science fiction fans in your family will definitely appreciate the decor. The restaurant can accommodate a small group of people or a large family group very easily. With large groups, it is best to call ahead for reservations.</p>
<p>While many theme restaurants may leave guests less than thrilled about their food, this is not the case with the Mars 2112 restaurant. Guests can order the typical fare available at most family restaurants as well as space themed dishes. There are also dishes especially prepared for the children in the group. The food is delicious too!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mars-2112-3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-626" title="mars-2112-3" src="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mars-2112-3.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="183" /></a><a href="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mars-2112-4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-627" title="mars-2112-4" src="http://www.livenynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mars-2112-4.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="183" /></a></p>
<p>If you are out in the Big Apple and looking for a bite to eat in Time Square, you may want to take a short trip to Mars instead. You will be glad that you did!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you live in New York, it can be hard enough just getting some time to sit peacefully and think, so why should you have to struggle to find a decent cable television provider? If you are looking for cable TV and internet service, it can be hard to decide which is the best for you. Here is a helpful list of some local and national providers  along with some of the packages they offer.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.comcastoffers.com/new-york">first choice would have to be Comcast New York</a>, they are a large national company and offer great bundle deals if you are looking for more than basic cable. The Comcast triple play offers high speed internet, a telephone connection and over 80 digital TV channels along with Showtime free for three months. The cost of the triple play is even under one hundred dollars! The basic cable package is thirty dollars and includes a DVR receiver, thousands of shows OnDemand, and even the three months of Showtime are still included.</p>
<p>Another national company to consider is Dish network. They have a great basic cable package for very low price &#8211; under twenty five dollars. Some features include free HBO, Cinemax, Starz and Showtime for three months. Blockbuster @Home is also included for the first three months. If you have many programs to watch, this may be the choice for you since you can record up to six live HD channels at one time.</p>
<p>One more national provider worth mentioning is DirecTV. They offer a package comparable to the Comcast basic, even the price is the same. However, they offer local channels for free, along with the choice to upgrade to HD or DVR receivers for free. They also offer three free months of Showtime.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.timewarnercableoffers.com/">last provider you should check out is Time Warner Cable</a>. This is a reputable company with some great offers. They have one similar to the Comcast Triple Play, only it is a bit cheaper even with the added option to upgrade to WiFi for free. The basic cable package may be the most comprehensive in terms of features offered, and is even compatible with your mobile phone for complete control no matter where you are!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a die-hard car lover and want to stay ahead of all current auto trends, you have to visit the annual New York Auto Show held at Javits Center on April 6-15<sup>th</sup>. More than a thousand new car models will be displayed to the show visitors, so get ready to spend hours gazing and gasping at mesmerizing new car designs. Top brands work hard to debut their models of the year and beat competitors. If you want a glimpse into the future, the auto show is a place to be since many auto designs won’t be in mass production for some time. Pack some snacks, get your camera ready, grab the floor plan (the exhibition is huge) – and get going! What makes the show so special is that you get to see the hottest cars and trucks under one roof. Pay attention to colors, interior design and <a href="http://www.jegs.com/">auto parts used in latest designs</a>, there will be enough novelties to surprise and puzzle you. From Concept Cars to Just Revealed to Alternative Fuel Vehicles  &#8211; you’ll get to see it all in the course of a few days.</p>
<p>You can check the <a href="http://www.autoshowny.com/show/schedule/">show schedule</a> to make it to the exhibits you specifically want to see. And if you dream of a future career in the  automotive industry, make sure to visit the Automotive Career Fair held on Level 1 (1E Hall).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking for a lunch place buffet-style? Want high-quality amazingly-tasting food but have no time to waste for service? Check out Dishes that conveniently has 3 locations in mid-town. It&#8217;s true, it gets crazy busy there during the lunch hour, but there&#8217;s always hope to find a vacant table because people eat and leave quickly. The look of the food will tell you all you need to know before you even taste it. All dishes look like they&#8217;ve been made by professionals from the top quality ingredients. You just know it when you see it. Still you need to prepare yourself for a surprise, because it tastes nothing like it looks. It actually tastes 10 times better than you&#8217;ve imagined. Their pasta with pesto sauce and pine-nuts just melts in your mouse. The most tender eggplant Moroccan style can be found there and don&#8217;t even  get started on their chicken. I wish I knew the secret of how to season it properly so that it tastes like that &#8211; divinely!</p>
<p>So yes, it&#8217;s a busy place, and you might have to wait for a place to sit down (be prepared to share your table too). The food is delicious, some dishes can easily beat similar offerings at upscale restaurants, where you pay way more money. The selection is more than satisfying from salad bar to Asian specialties to desserts of all kinds. A perfect place for a quick but very enjoyable lunch.</p>
<p>Here are the locations:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you probably already know, certain areas are better to start  businesses in than others. For example, Texas is considered the best  state to start a company in because it has the second-lowest taxes in  the nation and because the state is great for all important areas of  company creation. Here are a few benefits and disadvantageous of  <strong>starting a business in New York City.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Better Opportunities</strong></p>
<p>If you have ever lived in New York, then you know that a lot of the  nation&#8217;s best and brightest go to New York to live and work. Due to  this, you will probably find more business opportunities in New York  than most states. People in New York are generally very busy, so you can  expect to make a lot of money making life easier for New Yorkers.</p>
<p><strong>Higher Costs</strong></p>
<p>Everything is extremely expensive in New York when compared to other,  more southern states. If you decide to start a company in New York, you  can expect to have a very high start up cost. New York&#8217;s taxes are one  of the highest in the United States of America as well.</p>
<p><strong>More Customers</strong></p>
<p>When it comes to population, New York City is the most populated city in  the entire United States. In 2010, it was estimated that 8,175,133  lived in New York City alone. When you start a company in a heavily  populated area, you can get way more customers than in a less populated  area. You will also be able to find many of the people you chose to  target your products, since there are plenty of people.</p>
<p><strong>More Competition</strong></p>
<p>With more customers, you can also come to expect more competition. In a  crowded place like New York, you may have dozens of competition within  just a few miles depending on the industry you chose.</p>
<p><strong>Higher Insurance Costs</strong></p>
<p>Everything is more expensive in New York than in any other place, and  insurance is no exception. By starting a corporation in New York, you&#8217;re  going to have to deal with the<a href="http://www.proliability.com/"> insurance cost</a> every month.</p>
