P: (631) 587-8500

Looking to throw your teen an unforgettable sweet 16, but not sure what to do? Before you spend all of your time and money looking for a venue, finding a caterer, and shopping for a dress, may we offer an alternative? Instead of a three hour party, give your teen a truly unforgettable day traveling around New York City in style. 

Do a group outing.

New York Skyride at the Empire State Building: With a 36 ft high screen and moving floor and chairs, this virtual tour of New York City is sure to leave even native New Yorkers in awe. Feel as if you’re flying over 36 famous New York spots, including famous moments in history, restaurants and film scenes. 

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum: Famous for their lifelike celebrity wax statues, the museum lets you get up close and take pictures with your favorite stars, like Leonardo Dicaprio, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Barack Obama and Beyonce. 

Go out to dinner. 

Barrio Chino: Any Gossip Girl fan’s out there? To some, Barrio Chino’s might just be a great place to get Mexican and Asian inspired food, but TV lovers may also rejoice at the fact that Serena and Blair's Thanksgiving dinner was filmed here on location. 

Jeckyll and Hyde: Any teen with a sense of humor and love of horror movies will love the non stop attractions at Jeckyll and Hyde. With Frankenstein’s monster falling from the ceiling, a crude gargoyle and old fashioned butlers running around there’s no shortage of excitement here. 

Ellen's Stardust Diner: Go back in time with the singing wait staff of Ellen’s Stardust Diner! Known for their 50s decor, vocal servers and seemingly never ending list of American classics, the Stardust Diner will get you out of your seat and ready to boogie. 

The Sugar Factory: They may be celebrating their sweet 16, but they’re never too old to feel like a kid in a candy shop. The sugar factory truly lives up to it’s name, with everything from waffles covered in chocolate syrup and whipped cream, to milkshakes topped with whole cookies and candy bars. With locations in Times Square Row Hotel, The Meatpacking District, and the Upper West Side, you’ll always be just steps away from any and every sugary dessert you may want. 

See a show. 

Wicked: In 13 years on broadway, Wicked has become a fan favorite among teens. But luckily for you, this big budget production doesn’t come for a big cost - mezzanine tickets often go for as little as $40 a seat. 

The Lion King: With a set and costumes that have been said to make you feel “like you’re on the plains of Africa,” you won’t want to miss this childhood favorite come to life on stage. 

Madison Square Garden: Home to Z100’s upcoming Jingle Ball and popular stop for countless other singers and sports teams over the years, you’ll have no problem finding your child’s favorite performer or team playing at MSG. 

Whether you plan to bring a small, intimate party or a larger group into the city to celebrate - Dynasty Limousine has a vehicle to meet your needs. We offer stretch limos and Cadillac Escalades as well as stylish, modern Party Buses. Your group will enjoy the convenience of traveling together and having the excitement begin when they leave the driveway.

5 Things to Do in New York City's Financial District

Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service

P: (631) 587-8500

New York City’s Financial District in lower Manhattan is one of the more historic neighborhoods of the five boroughs. Home to Wall Street and the heart of the financial industry - it also features the 9/11 Memorial, South Street Seaport, and is the resting place to one of our Founding Fathers.

On your next trip into Manhattan, be sure to head downtown for historical sites, alfresco dining, and more!

1. Visit the 9/11 Memorial.

Free of charge and open to the public daily (from 7:30am to 9pm), honor the lives of those who were lost during the terrorist attacks of February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001. Join a staff member on a 45 minute guided tour of the memorial, exploring the symbolism behind its design, the historical significance of the World Trade Center, and learning about what happened on 9/11. Then, purchase tickets to the 9/11 Memorial Museum which displays artifacts associated with the events of September 11th while presenting stories of loss and recovery.

2. Head to the top of the Freedom Tower.

Start your journey to One World Observatory in the Global Welcome Center, which welcomes you in 10 languages and celebrates the homelands of international visitors. Then, listen to heartfelt stories in an inspiring walk-through video montage of the men and women who built One World Trade Center. As you ride in the Sky Pod Elevator to the top, you’ll be immersed in a virtual time-lapse thanks to floor to ceiling LED technology that will show you over 500 years of NYC evolution in under 60 seconds. Once on the 100th floor, see 360 degree views and discover Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New Jersey from an entirely new perspective. Plus on Thursday nights, check out the Live and Local series featuring local talent from the ti-state area! 

3. Take a look inside the Oculus.

Over 12 years in the making, the Oculus is a true spectacle for architecture fans. Housing the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, this all white bird-like structure replaces the PATH train station that was destroyed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Additionally, over 100 stores and restaurants reside within its 350,000 square foot Westfield mall that only just opened to the public mid August.

4. Pay tribute to Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton.

Tucked in the Financial District, you’ll also find Trinity Church and cemetery - the location of Alexander Hamilton’s grave. Hamilton was just 47 years old when he was  mortally wounded in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr on July 11, 1804. He passed away the following day, on July 12th. The Founding Father was buried in the cemetery of Trinity Church - where he owned a pew and where five of his children were baptized. Due to the popularity of the Broadway musical, Hamilton, the grave has since seen a surge of fans coming to pay their respects.

5. Shop and dine in the South Street Seaport.

While the seaport is undergoing a huge overhaul - with Pier 17 set to open in 2017 - there are still tons of restaurants and retail shops to keep you busy! Check out Seaport Smorgasburg located within Fulton Market running daily for lunch and dinner through the fall!

Spend a day in New York City’s Financial District with Dynasty Limousine! You’ll avoid the hassle of public transportation and have a safe space to hold any souvenirs or other items that may be purchased throughout your day. Contact one of our transportation specialists for more information (631) 587-8500!

P: (631) 587-8500

The blizzard of 2016 left its mark on New York City and Broadway theaters alike. A record snowfall of 26.6 inches caused the Great White Way to go dark on Saturday, January 23rd. It's not all bad news! Broadway Week has been extended until February 7th. 

To make up for lost business, certain shows will offer 2-for-1 tickets during Broadway Week. Not sure which show is up your alley? Below are 4 of the hottest shows participating in this exclusive promotion.

Fiddler on the Roof - For Musical Theater Aficionados

Calling all musical theater fans! You don't want to miss the revival of Fiddler on the Roof.  This heartwarming musical tells the story of a Jewish family in the early 1900s, and their precious traditions. 

School of Rock The Musical - For Those Who Want To Rock Out

Based off the film, School of Rock is about a prep school teacher who turns his class into a group of rock stars! It will make you want to play the air guitar in the audience!

Wicked - For The Whole Family

A lot happen before Dorothy dropped in! Watch the unlikely friendship between the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch unfold. This musical is bound to entertain the entire family. 

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - For Those Who Love A Good Mystery

The planning doesn't stop once you've chosen which show you'll attend. Next, it's time to take care of transportation! Taking a crowded train into Penn Station is less than ideal. Navigating through the city by car can also be stressful with limited parking.
