February 14th is coming, and all the lovebirds anxiously await. However, single people should not be left out, especially those in New York City. What makes this Valentine’s Day more special is that it immediately precedes President’s Day, leaving you with a long weekend full of various activities. Heart-shaped chocolate and restaurants are nice, but why not try some new things? No matter what your relationship status is, check out the below recipe for a legendary Valentine’s Day experience.

Play Any of These Unconventional Romantic Movies (Netflix & Chill)

That’s right, we don’t mean sappy romantic films such as A Walk To Remember, The Notebook, or Serenity! Love comes in all shapes and sizes, and some motion pictures highly utilize this to their advantage. If you want to watch a couple that had a bad breakup and consequently erased each other from their memories, go for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, starring Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey. Aside from winning an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, the film effortlessly blends romance, comedy, drama, and science fiction with a nonlinear narrative. The main characters might have forgotten one another, but you’ll remember this film for years to come.

 In Her Shoes is a hilarious and dramatic portrayal of the bond between two completely different sisters (who wear the same shoe size), played by Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette, and how they reconnect with their grandmother (Shirley MacLaine). Aside from a stellar cast, one of the film’s best features is its realism, particularly when the sisters argue. Although it is lengthy for a ‘dramedy’, the scenes are appropriately paced to showcase the layers of each character.

Another one-of-a-kind romance movie would definitely be the delightful About Time. The plot revolves around Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson), who possesses the gift of time travel (like his father and all the men in his family), and uses it to win the heart of Mary (Rachel McAdams). Cheesy? Don’t be fooled. The main storyline is the friendship between Tim and his father (Bill Nighy), revealed by the latter’s time travel lessons and events following his terminal cancer diagnosis. Nevertheless, the film maintains a light, bittersweet mood while squeezing in a few laughs. For those who consider Sunday a family day, watch this with your folks.

Watch Your Love, Our Musical!

Are you a musical fan in need of a hilarious comedy show? Don’t miss this musical-comedy improv at Littlefield on Saturday, February 13! The talented and witty pair, Rebecca Vigil and Evan Kaufman, select a couple from the crowd and ask them how they fell in love. Then, they use the unusual experiences from the story to produce an impromptu musical performance. Buy your tickets now for $10-12 here!

Feel The Love In Times Square

Whether you’re looking for a new romance, planning to propose to your longtime partner, or simply love witnessing romantic gestures, head over to Times Square, Duffy Square this Sunday in order to see live marriage proposals, vow renewals, and wedding ceremonies! Not to forget, you can kiss in private using the Heart of Hearts kaleidoscopic kissing booths. Finding love in the big city just got easier.

Slow Jam The Night Away

Go back to the good ol’ ’70s on Saturday with this musical event presenting five supreme soul artists: The Stylistics (“You Are Everything,” “Break Up to Make Up,” and “You Make Me Feel Brand New”), Dramatics (“In the Rain” and “Whatcha See is Whatcha Get”), New Birth (“Dream Merchant,” “It’s Been A Long Time,” “I Can Understand It”), Ray, Goodman and Brown (“Special Lady”), and Jobie Thomas’s Enchantment (“Gloria,”“Sunshine” and “It’s You That I Need”). Upper West Side residents who enjoy the powerful and social messages of soul music have to immediately reserve for the 3pm or the 8pm show at The Beacon Theatre. Prices range from $49.50 to $79.50, which is a great deal given the amount and quality of performers!

Have a Bloody Valentine

Horror fans (or anti-Valentine activists), add Varick Street to your weekend destination! Blood Manor, the city’s leading haunted attraction, is organizing the 2016 Bloody Valentine from Friday until Sunday. Enjoy scaring your friend/sweetheart while walking through the haunted house. You can also trade candy and flowers for bloody hatchets plus gore-stained chainsaws. American Horror Story and The Walking Dead have got nothing on this! Several ticket packages include one black rose in memory of your ill-fated love. Click here to see the event times for each day and purchase your tickets (Tip: Prices are reduced by $5 for both General Admission and RIP Express Entry!).

The post 5 Recommendations for a Unique Valentine’s Day appeared first on NYC Luxury Apartments for Rent | Glenwood Management.

It's now full-on glorious summer-in-the-city and I can't ever remember when June felt so packed with fun weekend and things to do. Almost makes me glad I don't have a beach house! Here's a partial list of some of my personal favorite events and parties and festivals going on all over town in the coming weeks… 

There's Plenty of Food and Fun to be Had!

This coming weekend, June 7 and 8, features two of the summer's best events in each of these respective categories. The Big Apple BBQ takes over Madison Square Park (and surrounding streets) with the smoky, meaty delights of 17 of America's best pitmasters. This is a huge party, and it's a great opportunity to try out how they do things in barbecue meccas like Texas, the Carolinas, and St. Louis. Warning, though: either go early or spring for a Fast Pass, because the place gets packed.

In addition to the usual summer fun on Governors Island this weekend the great Figment NYC interactive-arts festival brings its annual two days of raucous silliness to town, highlighted by the artist-designed mini golf course, the treehouse and City of Dreams Pavillion, and literally dozens of often strange and always wonderful activities, all geared toward families but definitely still enjoyable even if you're not with kids. It's all free, too. Oh and if you've never been to the Coney Island Mermaid Parade, it's on June 21 this year and it is truly a spectacle not to be missed. 

Free Outdoor Movies, Music, and Festivals 

June marks the kick-off for several of NYC's ever-growing number of free-outdoor-movie and free-concert festivals, including: 

• The hugely-popular HBO Bryant Park film series begins on June 16 with Saturday Night Fever.
• Front Row Cinema at the South Street Seaport is already in full swing (hits for June: Perks of Being a Wallflower on the 21st, Brave on the 25th).

Concert-wise, there are tons of good shows this year, such as:

• Summerstage in Central Park: Andrew Bird on July 8; Blood Orange on August 16.
• Celebrate Brooklyn! in Prospect Park: TEEN on June 21, Warpaint on June 26.
• The Global Beat Festival in Brookfield Plaza in Battery Park City, starting with Melanie Pain of Nouvelle Vague on June 13.
• Also returning this season: the Metropolitan Opera's Summer Recital Series, starting in Central Park on June 23.
• The Blue Note Jazz Festival, all month long at various venues around the city.

Shakespeare, Adventuring, and Beer! 

For nearly 60 years, the free Shakespeare in the Park has been a NYC summertime tradition. This season, taking place as usual in Central Park's Delacorte Theater, starts with Much Ado About Nothing (starring Hamish Linklater and Lily Rabe) through July 6, and then King Lear (with John Lithgow) runs from July 22 to August 17. Outdoorsy types will want to check out Adventures NYC at the bandshell area in Central Park on June 21, with activities such as rock climbing, stand-up paddleboarding, and a bike helmet giveaway. Last but not least, on the weekend of June 20 and 21: the NYC Craft Beer Festival at the Lexington Armory on 25th Street, where you can sample UNLIMITED two-ounce tastings from some 150 breweries from all over the country.
