A Romantic Valentine's Day Interlude
One day each year the world focuses its attention and energies on the greatest human emotion of all: love. And on this day of hearts everyone is acutely aware of love's many facets. We show our love to our sister, brother, child, father, mother, wife, husband, lover, boyfriend, girlfriend, friend, and even persons of acquaintance. But when one dissects the occasion, the one pair of people that most benefit from such shower of affection are those who are truly madly deeply in love. So what's the best gift you can give to your one and only
amore for Valentine's Day?
One of the oft-given advice is to treat him or her to a romantic dinner for two complete with the accessories of love: soft music, candlelight, flowers and chocolates. But why not include a
limousine service tour around town? As everyone knows, limousines are equipped with all the amenities of a five-star hotel. There are the complimentary bottle of champagne, glass flutes, flowers, chocolates, mints, music, videos, soft leather seats, a red carpet welcome, and a uniform-clad chauffeur to drive you wherever you wanted to go. Plus you don't have to worry about keeping your eyes on the road. You and your date can focus on each other for the rest of the evening. Don't think too much about the chauffeur's presence. The staff and drivers of limo companies are trained to be discreet and efficient, much like a well-run English household managed by a family butler.
Another benefit of
booking a limousine is taking advantage of promos and discounted packages for special groups and occasions. Usually these packages include services from first-class spas, salons, restaurants, hotels, and resorts. If you're going to spend a lot of money on a Valentine's date, why not take full satisfaction from the offered extras? Valentine's Day comes once in a year, and a you have a lifetime ahead of you with the one you truly love.
So romance your way to your date's heart by taking her or him on a romantic Valentine's Day cruise around town in a classy limousine.

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).
