Spirited Travel Attractions in New York

Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to New York next week will most certainly mean travel in the city limits will be even more horrendous than usual.

So I guess I shouldn’t be surprised to hear that a hotel in New York City has cooked up a creative way to offset the slew of “Sex and the City” movie premiere hotel packages that are currently … Continue reading →
