Your Guide to New York City

This will be a handsomely designed large format book with  two thirds  text, and one third photographs and other graphic materials  related to  the Jewish immigrant experience on the Lower East Side. Almost every Jew in America is from a family that came from Eastern Europe to Ellis Island to the Lower East Side. Consequently this New York City ghetto was for over fifty years the center of Jewish dwelling (in crowded tenements), work (in sweat shops, with carts in the street, in retail stores), and culture, including several daily newspapers in Yiddish, dozens of all Yiddish speaking Jewish theaters, books, films, incredible composers like George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, and entertainers like Jack Benny, Fanny Brice, Eddie Cantor, George Burns, and also the dark side, including a period of criminal activities by such gangsters as Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, and others. There’s never been anything quite like the Lower East Side, before or since, and many Jews today revere this original melting pot process as a period of tremendous assimilation into US secular culture, as well as a renaissance of Jewish creativity, struggle, and ultimate success in the brave new world.

New York City - If flying between skyscrapers and bridges is what you like, then New York City is the place to be. Helicopter tours offered in New York City would take you in and around the city. Plus, see the Liberty face to face. The Big Apple tour would surely be incomplete if not with the helicopter tour.

Las Vegas - Of course the neon lights, casinos, and several nightspots are the best tourist magnets of Las Vegas. But what could be more than all these? Behold, because Las Vegas helicopter tour beats all the usual Las Vegas experience. See the city from above and be marveled how beautiful the Las Vegas is. And don’t forget to fly over Hoover Dam, a must see attraction in Las Vegas.

Hawaii - Exploring the islands of Hawaii by foot and by sea would let you discover some of the most spectacular sites the world has to offer. But you have more to discover if you take those feet off the ground and see Hawaii from above. Hawaii helicopter tour would take you to the different islands of Hawaii and would let you view how diverse they are. From mountains to volcanoes, and white sand beaches to sparkling sea, Hawaii helicopter tour lets you experience all these.

Hollywood, California - If you want to make sure you have the best time in California, then you must consider booking for a helicopter tour. It would take you a stone throw away from the Hollywood sign and see the Universal Studios from above. You can see mansions of some of the most famous people living in California. And at nighttime, see the city lights as the helicopter takes you to the most breathtaking seen you can ever experience.

Here are some important information you must know in order to be safe around the helicopter at all times:

Approaching the helicopter - For some, especially the first timers, the sound of the rotor can be so intimidating at the same time exciting. These two are the main cause of absent-mindedness. And somehow, they tend to neglect the importance on knowing how to approach the helicopter.

What you should do is to keep calm and be aware of everything that is happening around you. Do not approach the helicopter if the pilot has not yet given you the signal to do so. Also never approach the helicopter where the pilot cannot see you. Approach the helicopter either from the side or front.

Approach the helicopter while keeping your head down. The rotor turns fast that could cause severe or fatal damage if you were hit. Also, in case you wear something that might fly off like hat, hold on to them carefully. If you are carrying long rod or tools, hold them horizontally. This would prevent the chance that this would hit the rotor.

On uneven grounds, make sure that you approach on the downhill side. This will keep you from the danger that you might hit the rotor. Remember this so that you stay out of danger. While on the helicopter, like riding a plane, there is a strict rule to follow to ensure that you have a safe ride. And it will all begin at the closing and opening of the door.

Once you have approached the helicopter safely, open the door slowly and be gentle on closing. Remember that helicopters are made to fly thus they are made from light materials so be very light on the doors. Just pull it slowly and close the latch handle gently. Wear seatbelt at all times and follow everything the pilot has said. The pilot knows about helicopters more than you do.

Departing from the helicopter - Departing from the helicopter is as critical as approaching it so make sure you follow the safety guidelines.

Wait for the pilot’s signal that it is safe to depart. Never disobey this or else suffer the consequence. On uneven grounds, depart on the downhill side. This would prevent you from hitting the rotor blade. And, keep your head down until you are clear with the rotor.

These things may be simple and very basic that is why not everyone follows it. If you don’t want to get hit by the rotor or fall off in mid-air, you have a very good reason to follow everything mentioned.

Just like any other place in America, New York can be dangerous, especially when it comes to the safety of your personal belongings. Many car insurance companies consider New York a high risk area because of the high statistics of crime. Cars are at risk for being vandalized and stolen. Yet, high risk or not, New York drivers and car owners must have auto insurance - it is the law.

Luckily, New York participates in a program for drivers and car owners to help them protect their vehicles against theft - Watch Your Car.

Watch Your Car (WYC) is a special plan to help drivers and car owners not only recover their vehicles after they have been stolen, but to possibly even prevent the vehicle from being stolen. The federally funded program places decals on the windshield of a WYC participant’s vehicle, giving police officers notice that the owner of the vehicle does not usually drive the vehicle between 1 a.m. and 5 p.m., nor does the owner of the vehicle drive near international borders.

WYC also etches the vehicle identification number into the vehicle’s windshield; a VIN is often removed when someone steals a vehicle, but when the VIN is etched into the vehicle’s windshield, it makes it very difficult to remove. If the thief does remove it, serious damage occurs to the vehicle’s windshield.

A program such as Watch Your Car lets a car insurance company know that you are serious about protecting your vehicle against theft. This is very important when shopping for cheap auto insurance in New York as you are likely to get better rates if you take safety precautions. Of course, you should also take other safety precautions such as anti-theft alarms and parking your vehicle in a garage rather than on the street.

For more information about Watch Your Car, contact the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, or your local law enforcement agency.
