Outdoor Concert Venues in New York 2019

Summer is only a few months away, if you really think about it — which makes spring the perfect time to start planning for those incredible, outdoor summer concerts! Whether it’s rock, country or pop, there’s a concert for every taste in music under the sun (pun intended). If you’re not sure where to see one of your favorite artists or bands this summer, here are some great outdoor venues to check out in the state:


Forest Hills Stadium
Address: 1 Tennis Pl, Forest Hills, NY 11375

Having originally opened their doors in 1923, Forest Hills Stadium is a unique outdoor venue with an incredible history. From The Beatles to Barbra Streisand, a series of powerhouses in the music industry lent their talents to this performing arts venue over the years. Being located in the heart of the Queens and only a simple train ride away from your home, it’s the perfect, small, independent venue to see a great show!

In addition to great shows, Forest Hills Stadium also has an incredible selection of food and beverages, thanks to local vendors who reside in the outdoor food court. Whether it be massive mozzarella sticks from Big Mozz or edible cookie dough from Cookie DŌ, there’s a food stand for every preference (and culinary craving)!

Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk
Address: 3052 West 21 Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

When you think of Brooklyn, what comes to mind first? For most, it might be the delicious array of food, but what about good ol’ Coney Island? In addition to the rides and amenities that are found among the boardwalk, there’s an outdoor theater that’s taking the shore by storm: the Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk. Since July of 2016, this new venue holds the title for being a true, summer theater.

If you’re walking down the boardwalk at Coney Island, you’ll instantly be enamored by this incredible 5,000 seat venue, which has artists such as Coheed and Cambria,The Australian Pink Floyd Show and more playing on their stage this year. If you’re looking for another outdoor, beach-friendly venue, then this is the place to be!

Here's Why You Should Start Preparing for Prom Now

Besides a milestone birthday, what’s another big life event that many people across the nation celebrate? The answer happens to be prom — but if you’re the parent of a high school senior, have you already started helping your teen plan for the big night? If not, here are some benefits to consider getting an early start on the planning process:


More Options to Choose From

If you’re looking to get the perfect dress or tuxedo for your child, then purchasing or renting them early on will be a huge plus. The reason being is that they not only will they have a vast selection to choose from at a store, but you’ll be able to find their formal wear at a fraction of the cost, especially by purchasing/renting it in advance.

Plus, if there’s something that catches your child’s eye, but it’s not available at the moment, then most stores will have more than enough time to order it before the big night arrives! If you’re looking to score the perfect dress or tux with ease, visit Village Bridal Salon and Boutique — which happens to be owned by us and attached to Dynasty Limousine’s building!

Find Transportation with Ease

Sometimes, it can feel like a struggle trying to obtain transportation for the big night. Whether your teen is looking to take a limo or party bus with their friends, the longer they wait to book their ride, the harder it might be to secure transportation. Of course, you can always drive them there — but if you’re the parent of a teen, then you know that they’d rather walk then be seen being dropped off (we can all relate to this).

Luckily, here at Dynasty, we have a large selection of limos, party buses, and SUVs that will not only transport your child with the utmost safety, but are clean and stylish! However, we do recommend booking their ride in advance, since spots can fill up quickly!

Since 1988, Dynasty Limousine has been the ideal choice for families in and around the Long Island area. Our massive fleet of limousines, party buses and shuttles will make it easy for everyone to travel in style and comfort!

3 Reasons Why You Should Attend a Long Island Ducks Game

Typically, three strikes in baseball is a bad thing — but in this blog, we’ll be giving you three strikes (actually, reasons) why you should attend a Long Island Ducks game this summer. If you haven’t attended one of these local baseball games, you’re definitely missing out on the fun (especially if you’re a baseball fan). If you’ve been contemplating whether or not this should be the year you attend, here are some “strikes” to take into consideration:


1. Local
First and foremost, how many of you love to catch a game at Citi Field or Yankee Stadium, but loathe the commute? Sure, there’s nothing better than seeing one of your favorite teams up close — but when the game is over, and you’re about to leave the parking lot or head to the subway, it can be nothing short of madness.

Luckily, when you attend a Ducks game, the ballpark is located in the heart of Central Islip and is typically minutes away from any home. In fact, even the parking situation at the Bethpage Ballpark is ideal; you’ll be able to shuffle out in no time, once a team wins the game (hopefully, it’s the Ducks)!

2. Inexpensive
Unlike MLB games with hefty price tags, Long Island Ducks games won’t break the bank. Whether you’re looking to catch a game with a friend or a group of people, you won’t be shocked by the grand total when you purchase your tickets. The best part? Various coupons are distributed from local businesses that you can use if you are buying tickets in person or online!

3. Fun
Ducks games are a bundle of fun, no matter who’s in attendance! With their lovable mascot Quacker Jack, you’ll be laughing throughout innings watching Long Island’s favorite cartoon duck walking around the stadium! Additionally, there are also bounce houses, games and so much more to explore when walking around the ballpark. Once you step foot inside, you’ll wish you attended a game much sooner!

Since 1988, Dynasty Limousine has been the ideal choice for families in and around the Long Island area. Our massive fleet of limousines, party buses and shuttles will make it easy for everyone to travel in style and comfort!

Pro Tips on Visiting the Long Island Aquarium

One of the greatest not-so hidden gems on the Island happens to be the Long Island Aquarium of Riverhead. Having opened their doors in 2000 and originally donning the name “Atlantis,” there are a slew of wonderful things to see at this hot spot! Of course, if you’re planning your first trip here or are looking to go back, here are some pro tips to take into consideration:


Go at a Random Time
Sometimes, the early bird doesn’t always catch the worm. Typically, the Long Island Aquarium opens at 10am and closes at 5pm, seven days a week. If you’re attempting to beat the crowds, then it may be wise to go anytime after 12pm. Any hour after lunch is perfect because not only will you be able to take your time walking through the aquarium, but the chances of being able to look at an exhibit without standing behind a crowd will be even greater.

Open Rain or Shine
Say it happens to rain (or snow, because we’re in New York) on the day of your intended visit. You’ll be able to still bask in the excitement of this incredible attraction no matter what (unless they specifically state that they’re closed). However, if you go during the warmer months, you’ll be able to take your time outside by the penguin exhibit, since you won’t have to worry about bundling up!

Bonus: They Host Private Events
If you’ve ever dreamed about having your birthday or a wedding at the aquarium, then we have some good news for you: they host private events! This will not only be the perfect way to have a memorable event, but it’s a great way to change it up from having it at a standard catering hall. If you’re looking for even more fun, then the aquarium can also host corporate events, too (yes, your next company holiday party could be held at this incredible venue)!

Since 1988, Dynasty Limousine has been the ideal choice for families in and around the Long Island area. Our massive fleet of limousines, party buses and shuttles will make it easy for everyone to travel in style and comfort!

Why You Should Book Your Hotel for Montauk or the Hamptons Now

If you're already planning on going to either Montauk or the Hamptons this summer, you should book your room now! In fact, the earlier you make your reservations for the east end, the better selection you’ll have (and you won’t have to pay ridiculous fees). Need some more reassurance? Here are some more benefits of booking your hotel early:


Montauk and the Hamptons are Hot Destinations
Rates may be lower if you book your stay during the off seasons, such as the spring. Furthermore, since you’ll be booking the hotel that far in advance, you’ll have no problem booking extra rooms, since you’ll be diving into that early bird special! Once your summer vacation comes around, you’ll feel more at ease, knowing that you’ll be staying in the hotel of your dreams!

Consider Booking Through a Website that Offers a Discount
There are tons of websites that offer a discount for booking a hotel online, and some examples of these sites are Expedia, Priceline, Hotels.com, and Trivago. These websites can sometimes offer substantial discounts (even at the priciest of hotels). In many cases, these websites offer discounts on many different hotels a few miles outside of your destination, as well, which would be even more of a great savings deal!

Other Things to Consider When You’re Booking your Hotel
You’ll want to consider the specific location of the hotel since you'll need to think about transportation, if you don’t plan on driving to your vacation destination. While it's easy to get around with your own car, you can also hire a party bus service if you're traveling with a large group!

Since 1988, Dynasty Limousine has been the ideal choice for families in and around the Long Island area. Our massive fleet of limousines, party buses and shuttles will make it easy for everyone to travel in style and comfort!
