Back in a May 2010 blog, this Newark Airport Limousine company took you to hot dog heaven, suggesting when you fly in to Newark Liberty Airport (EWR), the Newark Airport Car Service experts know where you can find two of the “Best Hot Dogs in America” just around the corner.

When you consider Americans consume 7 billion hot dogs between Memorial Day and Labor Day, you wonder which hot dogs are rated “the best.” Well, American City Express Limo can take you to the Italian Hot Dog in Northern New Jersey in style to taste the “rippers” or to the New York System in Rhode Island for the “gaggers,” both located within easy driving distance from Newark Airport. If you aren’t local, to find out what “rippers” and “gaggers” are, go to the May 31st blog.

The opportunity to enjoy the sights as you make a fun event out of your tasting curiosity is available—whether you are flying in and have a little time, or you are local. There is no need to anticipate anything on your trip to the tastings—except the taste of two of the best hot dogs in America!

By the way, laid end-to-end, the hot dog links would circle the earth about 21.5 times! That’s something to think about.

Previously, we have pointed out how this Newark Airport Limo company’s customer-friendly features that make us stand out above other limousine service companies here at the Newark Airport in New Jersey.  One of those features is our 24-hour – 7-day-a-week availability, whether you are contacting us to reserve a Newark Airport Limo or you are planning a New Jersey, New York or Philadelphia event at an off-hour.

By watching national news about our second heat wave this year, everyone is aware that with the heat and humidity, it is uncomfortable.  Not too long ago, during the severe snow storms, people were wishing for heat.  Now, they are wishing for snow.  By looking at the Newark, New Jersey weather forecast, you can see daytime temperatures will still be on the high side, what with the humidity and all.

But, there are things to do that will enable to enjoy the summer.  And we would love to be a part of your day—or night–adventures!

During the day, why not limo over to the newest “cool down” spot in New York City:  People’s Pops?  The frozen treats are all the rage—and a life saving break from the heat.  These are not the same old ice cream, frozen yogurt, or shaved ice concoctions you have grown up with, oh, no.  Unless you grew up with combinations like Apricot & Cardamon; Sour Cherry & Plum; Peach, Chamomile & Honey; Raspberry & Basil; Cantaloupe Shaved Ice; Rhubarb Shaved Ice; Strawberry & Rhubarb…just to name a few.  Arrive in style and enjoy the wonderful District as you enjoy the newest cool concoctions.

During the night, after temperatures drop a bit, why not assist in the Firefly Watch project?  Scientists believe lightning bug numbers are in the decline worldwide.  By spending ten minutes a week, or at least every couple of weeks, to count evening activity at the same field or park, you can contribute to Boston’s Museum of Science data base.  A pretty simple activity you can turn in to an evening picnic with a little luxury when you ride with us.

Just a couple of ideas to get out and enjoy our wonderful New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia area.  First step?  Contact the Newark Limo Service experts, American City Express Limo, and reserve a comfortable, sit-back-and-enjoy ride—day or night.

When was the last time you did something different, ‘just for fun’?  If you are here locally, or have some “down time” after flying in to Newark Airport (EWR) or any of other airports in the New Jersey, New York or Philadelphia area, and want to create a memorable experience, read on.

Well, what about this unique opportunity?!  View the progress of excavating an 18^th century ocean sailing ship discovered 25 feet below street level at the World Trade Center site!  A 1797 map shows the area used to be Lindsey’s Wharf and Lake’s Wharf on the Hudson River.  The ship was used as landfill to extend the land—a process that is still used today.

The archaeologists are racing time, trying to record as much as possible before the rear lowermost deck double layered planks deteriorate from exposure to the air after being buried for 200 years.  The ship is estimated to have been 70 to 100 feet long.  Also found was a 100-pound anchor, non-lace up shoes, and an odd huge metal collar built into the hull (speculated to be an oven or steam apparatus).

The last large-scale archaeological find along the Manhattan waterfront was in 1982 when an 18^th century cargo ship was discovered at 175 Water Street.

Let American City Express Limo make it a special event for you.  Excellent Newark Airport car service, taking in the Manhattan sights—including Water Street and this excavation, then dinner, the skyline, and…..

A little history about the Declaration of Independence: The thirteen colonies united in 1774 to become a legislative body known as the Continental Congress.  They included the providences of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York/Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, New Hampshire/Vermont, Massachusetts/Maine, Delaware, Virginia/Kentucky/West Virginia, North Carolina/Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia.

Four delegates, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Robert Livingston, wrote a draft of the Declaration of Independence based on the writings of Thomas Paine.  There are three major sections:  the preamble (core fundamental principles are listed), a list of complaints and grievances against King George III of England, and a conclusion (declares formal independence and a pledge of delegates to support the declaration).  The official copy to receive handwritten signatures was first signed on August 2, 1776 when most of the delegates signed.  As new delegates joined the Congress, they were allowed to sign.  There are a total of 56 signatures.  The document was recognized by England at the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783—which was also the formal end to the American Revolutionary War between the Thirteen Colonies and the Kingdom of Great Britain.
