A TRAVELING, HIGH-TECH THEATER SHOWCASING A TOTALLY NEW WAY OF EXPERIENCING NEW YORK LAUNCHES SEPTEMBER 16 FROM NEW YORK MARRIOTT MARQUIS IN TIMES SQUARE
NEW YORK, NY – August 12, 2010 – Following the unveiling of the first of its fleet of custom-built $1.3 million vehicles in Times Square today, tickets are now on sale for THE RIDE, a spectacular new immersive and interactive entertainment experience that moves guests through midtown Manhattan, as an ever-changing show featuring actors, performers, and everyday citizens unfolds on the streets before them.
THE RIDE features vehicles so extensively equipped with advanced technology and other amenities that they had to be super-sized: they’re the largest allowed by law on the streets of New York and guaranteed to turn heads. Performers aboard THE RIDE – and posted along its 4.2-mile route – hail from the world of stand-up and improvisational comedy, ensuring a uniquely hilarious experience every trip, as they comment on New York’s history, iconic sites, and street life. Some of the fun for riders is figuring out what’s part of the show and what’s everyday life in New York City, as THE RIDE provides a wry, satirical and loving look at the city in all its glory.
Individual and discounted group tickets for THE RIDE are available three ways:
online at experiencetheride.com; by phone at (866) 299-9682; and in person at THE RIDE box office near the Broadway Baby NY Gift Shop at the New York Marriott Marquis at 1535 Broadway between 45th and 46th Streets in Times Square.
New York Magazine names new TKTS Booth "Building of the Decade"
"Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats; the show has already begun. Fire up your cell phones and let someone know where you are: on a set of glowing glass bleachers, with a front-and-center view of Times Square. Directly in front, the statue of Father Duffy stands with his back to the audience, facing the proscenium like the stage manager in Our Town. Dusk blazes among the twinkling marquees and the palisade of glaring signs. You’re part of the razzmatazz, too, members of the ensemble perched on a glossy scarlet staircase to nowhere. The little raked red piazza slung over the shoulders of the new TKTS booth is a work of exuberant uselessness and brilliant urbanism. At once humble and flashy, it distills the theatrical urge that electrified architecture in the last decade."Read Full Article >>
NEW YORK CITY NIGHTSEEING
The Illuminating Engineering Society presents the New York NIGHTSEEING Map - representative of many noteworthy lighting design projects viewable by the public in New York City.

While it may not be unusual for a tourist to point to a notable skyline tower and evoke the architect, how many can supply the name of the lighting designer responsible for bringing that building to light? This map showcases NYC’s illuminated buildings and the lighting designers responsible, from architectural masterpieces to the cutting edge, hip and trendy...at night!Click here for Map and Website >>
