PROM NIGHT:
How to Book A Limousine Service for Prom New York
It's that time of the year again when young girls begin to frantically search for the perfect prom dress, the pair-fect prom shoes, the perfect prom hair style, and most dreamily perfect prom date. The boys had it easy with only a tux or a suit to think about. But there is at least one area where both would have to face: how to get there. Well, why not do in style? It's the best night of all nights of your young lives. You can make it more memorable by arriving in a limo with your best friends along with your dates. Unless your last name is Trump, it's not every day that you arrive at an event in a limousine. Here's a rundown of all of the things you need to think about if you want to pimp your ride to prom.
JUMP START. Don't miss the boat ...er, make that car. Since limos are in high demand during prom season, plan to book yours early. Two to three months before prom should give you enough time to make the arrangements.
HOP IN. Limousines come in all shapes and sizes. Figure out exactly how many people will be in your group since that will determine the kind of limousine you end up with. A basic rule of thumb is that a super-stretch limo will hold 10-12 passengers; for a standard stretch limo, 6 passengers is plenty.
GAS 'N' GO. If you're gonna ride like a star, prepare to shell out some cash. Booking a limousine for the evening will start at around $400. You can keep the cost down by going with a group and splitting the expense. You'll also need to tip the driver, usually 15-20% of the total fare. Some companies will include the tip in the total charge, so make sure to ask in advance. And don't forget to comparison shop -- prices vary widely, so you should check around to find the best deal.
SPEEDBUMP. You might be asked to make a deposit in advance. This is to cover any mishaps that may happen during the night -- like big messes in the car, blah blah blah. Just keep everything under control and you'll see that money again post-prom.
BUCKLE UP. It's crucial to find out before
booking a limousine service in New York if the company is licensed. If not, you may get stuck with poor service, a shoddy limo, and a rude driver. Check references and your contract carefully. And get an after-hours phone number for someone at the company -- just in case you hit a few unexpected curves.

Every ride in a New York NY Limo is a unique experience all by itself.
Queens is a crescent-shaped borough traversing the width of Long Island and including two of the major New York City area airports, LaGuardia (LGA) and John F. Kennedy International (JFK). It also carries the largest ethnic diversity in its area of any region in the world, divided into small enclaves. Jackson Heights, for example, includes a huge Indian area, followed by a Colombian area, and then a Mexican area. Each offers a wide array of authentic shops, native-style cuisine, and festivals modified only slightly by the generally colder New York City experience.
The geographical center of New York City is actually in Queens. Near this location, investors held the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs. The area still includes an interesting museum and some architectural and artistic relics of the events (including the Unisphere, a 300 ton spherical grid of steel sculpted to look like the globe - as seen in Men In Black). The area is now called Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The northern end includes Shea Stadium and the U.S. Tennis Open stadium; further north still one can walk along the edge of a marina in Long Island Sound. The park also includes a science museum, a zoo, pedal-boats, and frequent special events.
For information on how to walk or bicycle to and from Queens, check http://www.transalt.org/. Except for the Whitestone and Throgs Neck bridges, all the bridges can be crossed by pedestrians and bicycles. Be prepared, however, for long walks - and don't forget that Queens is very, very big and not well-designed for a walking tour. Do not attempt this without a map!
Sadly, most Queens visitors spend their visit on a bus to or from LaGuardia Airport or JFK. A proper tour of Queens is worthwhile. It can be conducted by a chauffeur-driven limousine service, as the roads can be tough to navigate. Much of Queens (but unlike Manhattan, not all of it), including many of the most interesting parts, can be seen by subway. A trip on the 7 train, made nationally famous by the contempt of former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker, is a cultural experience in and of itself. The 7 runs elevated through most of Queens, so you'll be able to get a good sense of much of the borough through its windows. A good tour of Queens should include at least three meals in three different ethnic enclaves.
Other subways for getting around (and in and out of) Queens include the A, E, F, G, M, N, R, V & W. The Long Island Rail Road makes several stops in Queens: the main line runs through central Queens and the Port Washington line runs along the north shore (including a stop in Flushing).
