NYC Summer: Bikes, Bands, Martinis, Dinosaurs, and $35 dinners
We love summer in NYC. We've got a great roundup of things to do, including Restaurant Week that starts on Monday; a great place to dine and dance to the music of a big band; free bike riding on Governor's Island; martinis on a rooftop; and how you can "roar" and break a Guinness World Record. Read on.
July 12-25 | Make your reservations now! We love summer restaurant week, which is really 3 weeks, from July 12-25. Over 275 NYC restaurants offer $24.07 lunches and $35 dinners. Some offer lunch or dinner, or both. We're booking three of our favorites right now, Eds Chowder House (lunch and dinner); 21 Club (lunch and dinner); and Ben Bensons (dinner). Get the details and links to participating restaurants at 3T Events.
Swing to the music of Joe Battaglia | Dancing to the Big Bands
Sandy Durell ,our cabaret reviewer, has a terrific recommendation this week. For those of you who'd like a little NYC nightclub nostalgia, head to THE EDISON BALLROOM at the Supper Club featuring the big band sounds of JOE BATTAGLIA, and get the dinner and dancing package. It's a fabulous place with good food and entertainment! Read more at Sandy's Cabaret Conexion.
Biking on Governor's Island | On our to-do List: Governor's Island
We're definitely going to make time this summer to tour Governor's Island. Open Friday's, Saturdays, and Sundays, with all kinds of fun events and activities for all. Like this Sunday's Meatopia: BBQ food festival with walk-around tastings, beer, bourbon and live entertainment. And every Friday you can rent a FREE bicycle for an hour.

Att: Martini Lovers | Martini Madness Party
Okay martini lovers. On July 30, kick off your summer weekend with a Martini Madness Party at Hudson Terrace, New York City's luxurious rooftop bar and lounge. The two-hour open Mini Martini bar will be serving up ten different varieties, ranging from fruity specials like Lemonade, Watermelon and Pomegranate to classics such as Green Apple. There are new flavors and varieties to try, too, including Chocolate. And here's the best part. For the price of what some places around the city will charge you for ONE martini, you can get half priced tickets from Goldstar to this fun event for just $25 (+ $6.00 fee)) vs. the regular price of $50.

Meet baby T-Rex | Grab the kids and go Roar
Meet the live baby Tyrannosaurs Rex from 'Walking with Dinosaurs" on Wednesday, July 14 from 11am-11:30am and participate in breaking a Guinness World Record for 'Loudest Dinosaur Roar' by an outdoor crowd. Plus the first 50 people who arrive to participate will receive a free ticket to an upcoming show, of WALKING WITH DINOSAURS from July 21-25 at Madison Square Garden. This amazing show follows the journey of 17 roaring, snarling "live" awe-inspiring dinosaurs when they first walked on earth 200 million years ago. You will swear they're real. We've posted a video along with the details of the free "Roar Event" at 3T Events .
