Krug’s Tavern - The Best Burger In Newark

When it comes to a truly good burger, nothing beats what you can find on your plate in Krug’s Tavern which is located on 118, Wilson Avenue, Newark. Some of our rental bus charter New Jersey customers come out with their luxurious vehicles just to sample their daily fare which are sourced from reliable, local and fresh farmers. The Lomatta Family have been running and operating this amazing deli since 1932 and they have been at it since 1932. Our customers say that the burgers are not just ‘burgers’, the portion is absolutely so phenomenal that they are saved oversized sandwiches. They are also known for their strict standards when baking their own breads and sourcing for meats.

Is that all they serve - burgers? No, they do have a unique selection of seafood and regular dishes on their menu so, don’t worry if you are not the kind of fall for hearty burgers and fries. What stood out for us when we made a bus charter rental New Jersey stop at this true Newark gem is the recipe and how unique the sauces are. Considering the fact that the restaurant’s been in business since 1932, they have, of course, kept the recipe an absolute secret. The diner remains open throughout lunch, right down to happy hour and dinner. Suffice to say, the Lamotta family know a thing or two about establishing a connection with their customers, turning them into regulars and loyal supporters.

If you are a local Newark event organizer who is always looking for a good, reliable and affordable place to do up a meeting, event, or a gathering for your clientele, we strongly suggest putting Krug’s Burger into your list of options. We wouldn’t say that the place is suitable for kids at night but bringing your kids along with you for lunch is perfectly fine. It would have been perfect if there was outdoor seating so that you can enjoy the palatable meal outdoors while doing some people-watching It is located right smack in the middle of downtown area, after all, loads of people to watch.

What the locals would usually do is to come gather together with their family and friends to catch a game on TV. Yes, they have a large TV where you can watch the games comfortably, while enjoying your meal and drinks. The atmosphere is friendly, comfortable and cosy.

In the meantime, give us a call to find out how we can make your New Jersey bus rental charter vacation all the more easy, smooth sailing and convenient. At the end of your vacation, we think you will agree with us when we say - there is nothing like a Krug’s Tavern Burger.

Central Park Zoo

Much has been said about Central Park itself, being ranked as one of the top tourist destinations of New York City, but there is little information about the park’s small but interesting zoo. If you are bringing your little ones with you during your New York charter bus rental trip, DO check out the Central Park zoo. The gate and entrance isn’t too easy to find so, do either one....call ahead of time for instructions or get the map from the tourist center.

The Central Park zoo is a part of a rather large wildlife conservation program which begun with the Bronx Zoo. Hailed as a leader in wildlife conservation, it effectively earned its name because it was first started all the way back in the early days of the1900s when a conservation program such as this is pretty much rather unheard of. When the program was started, it had only one pathologist and one lone veterinarian department dealing with the growing number of animals in the park zoo. After much effort and money has been poured into the program, it boasts of many other different departments like a department for nutrition, and other veterinary programs.

The animals under the program’s care, on last count, is more than fifteen thousand but not every one of the animal can be found in the Central Park zoo, they are spread out into the various zoos around the country. The operations for Aquatic Animal Health Care, which is a branch of the program, is in charge of the New York Aquarium too. The Aquarium was just opened back in 2008 but is already attracting much attention and praise.

The zoo’s management is also very deep into animal enrichment which is a program to help exercise the animals’ minds and body - this program is in place to ensure that these animals in captive continue to retain their natural animal instinct despite being confined.

The Central Park zoo, despite lacking the space and number of exhibits, boasts of a very large penguin room which some consider as the main attraction of the zoo and they make their way to the grounds of the zoo specifically just to see the penguins during feeding and playing time. The kids will naturally have a ball learning about how the penguins feed, dive, swim and play with each other.

If you are making your way to this New York City charter bus rental attraction with a group of people, we strongly suggest that you give us a quick call to find out more about our amazingly affordable charter bus rental NYC services and packages. We look forward to serving you in the very near future.

Mehndi - Authentic Indian Cuisine In The Heart of New Jersey’s Morristown

Everywhere you go in New Jersey, there is great food and a good number of restaurants from all over the world and despite being a small town in New Jersey, with only less than twenty thousand households, there is no lacking of options as far as foodie fare is concerned.

You don’t have to been a foodie or a connoisseur in order to enjoy what Mehndi, an authentic Indian restaurant in the heart of Morristown. Mehndi is actually a temporary artwork done on the hands and feet of Asian and Middle East communities. They are temporary but they are extraordinarily detailed at the same time. These artwork is usually done during festivals and other special occasions.

Mehndi, as reviewed by some of our New Jersey charter bus rental customers, is upscale, so, you can expect ambiance, great food, excellent customer service and attention to details every time you are there. The chefs, as if they have the ability to read its patrons’ minds, knows exactly how to fix an authentic traditional recipe to suit our palate. In some other Indian restaurants, the chefs usually try too hard to Americanize their recipes, assuming that our delicate and untrained American palate will not be prepared for the spice that they are about to consume. Some failed, while others thrived. And we would like to say that Mehndi is one of those that have struck it right.

What is really awesome about the ambiance is the twenty three different Fortuny chandeliers hanging off of the concave ceiling...it really gives you a feeling of walking through an Indian dream. It radiates spiritual elegance and calm. And it was heard that the chandeliers were inspired by the twists and Indian turbines and were hand-painted right down to the last detail.

Another striking difference between the Indian dishes served at Mehndi and other ‘authentic’ Indian restaurants is the fact that it is not oily nor is it too spicy. Deep Frying and using too much oil is sometimes what is to be expected from an Indian restaurant and it has to do with how the food is traditionally prepared. But as mentioned, Mehndi chefs have read our minds and fine tuned the cooking method and recipe to make it ‘just right’.

The full-service bar presents New Jersey charter bus rental customers with a whole host of different drinks to try out, so, this place is absolutely a good choice when it comes to holding a party. And if you are lucky enough, there would be a henna artist available to work on the mehndi for your feet and hands.

A Good Workout at the Central Park

Exercise is important - especially for city people who are always in the office environment and rarely have the opportunity to go out for fresh air and work out the muscles of the body. Parks are a good place for a jog, running, cycling or simply just walking and enjoying the beauty of the parks. If you have been longing for a time to just stretch your legs and give your body muscles some good work out, it is about time you make plans to go Central Park. We suggest that you gather your friends or family members and rent a bus to take everyone there - to save time hunting for a parking spot.

As soon as you get off the rented New Jersey charter bus, you will notice the natural beauty of the Central Park - which happens to be one of the outstanding sights of New York City. In fact, Central Park is enormous in size and it has been said that parts of the park has even been the backgrounds of some movies!

Central Park is very well maintained and conserved and even though it looks to be a naturally beautiful park, a huge part of the park is actually man-made - except for the glacier protruding rocks. There were even claims that the amount of earth moved into the construction was even more than that compared to the Panama Canal! This is due to the oringial intention of the Central Park’s designers’ idea to make the park with many different types of landscapes as possible within the space given.

You can never run out of things to do at Central Park - and annually in the month of May, they will have lectures and workshops on the wildlife of winged animals such as red tailed hawks to the varieties of butterflies. The lectures and workshops will take place on the outdoor plaza, located right at mid-Park at 79th Street - something bird lovers would totally enjoy.

In fact, if your group of friends prefer to split up and go their own ways to do whatever they want at the park, it is not such a bad idea too. Everyone could always meet up later at an appointed time to go home together in the rented bus or an alternative option would be to meet up for a picnic session before going home in the bus. Whichever the choice may be, you can be sure that at the end of the day, you got what you came for - your muscles got their workouts after all!

Thrills and spills in New Jersey

For stomach-dropping, pulse-racing entertainment, New Jersey is the place to go on a charter bus visit. The state ranks second in the country in number of roller coasters with 47, according to statistics from the Roller Coaster Database. California leads the category with 77. Pennsylvania is a close third with 46. New Jersey boasts 43 steel coasters and four wooden ones. But the amusement parks in New Jersey offer more than thrill rides, they offer activities for all comfort levels for groups on a rental bus visit with a bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus chartered from Rental Bus Charter.

Known to New Jersey charter bus visitors for its roller coasters, Six Flags Great Adventure & Wild Safari features two thrillers, El Toro, a wooden machine that drops at a gut-wrenching 76 degrees, and Nitro, a steel monstrosity that explodes 230 feet in the air, then drops 215 feet at 80 miles per hour. The park boasts 10 rides that rate "Max" on the thrill meter, but plenty of rides exist for the faint of heart and children. Weighing in at "Mild" on the meter are Bugs Bunny Barnstormer, Daffy's Deep Diver and Monkey Around. For those in between, the "Moderates" include Jolly Roger, Congo Rapids and Skull Mountain. The Wild Safari part of the park features a 4.5-mile drive-through to see 1,200 animals, including fan favorites brown bears, giraffes, lions, elephants and rhinos. Entertainment throughout the park includes a Wiggles dance party, animal trainer talks and concerts. Themed areas are targeted just for kids, including Looney Tunes Seaport, Bugs Bunny National Park and Fantasy Forest.

Your children's favorite stories will become larger than life at Storybook Land in Egg Harbor Township. Based on storybooks and nursery rhymes, this amusement park allows children on a rental bus visit, ideally aged 1 to 8, to see large versions of Humpty Dumpty, the Three Little Pigs, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Jack (of Jill and the hill fame) and Mother Goose. Billed on its website as "20 acres of family fun," the park offers plenty of rides for charter bus visitors, from Bubbles the Coaster and Turtle Twirl to Big Foot and Whirly-Bug. Each ride has specifications on whether a child can ride alone or must be accompanied by an adult. The park has an unlimited ride policy, so once you're in, you ride without tickets the whole day. Be warned, many of these rides may unsettle your stomach.

The centerpiece of the Victorian-themed Fantasy Island may be its custom-designed, ornate carousel that features Bradley & Kaye horse molds that date to the turn of the 20th century. The park, lined with brick walkways, old-time lampposts and oak benches, features rides for adults and children, requiring admission by tokens. Kiddie rides include the Honey Bees, train, car, truck and boat rides and the Pirate Ship. Adults and older kids on a charter bus visit will enjoy faster rides like the Sea Dragon and Drop Zone. For a view of the park and the ocean, check out the Giant Wheel. When you need a break from the rides, the park offers a carnival-like arcade with games of chance and skill. Family entertainment is part of the deal and may feature magic, exotic birds or reptiles.

Tips on Packing Smart (Part 2)

Pack it according to your bag:
Rolling and folding are expert-packer methods whilst bundling is for advanced travelers.

Rolling is great for unstructured bags, for stretchy knit fabrics that are unlikely to wrinkle, including T-shirts, workout pants, light sweaters, and jersey dresses, as well as jeans.

To roll a:
• Pair of pants, fold pants in half lengthwise so that the back pockets face outward. Roll tightly from the cuffs to the waistband

• Straight skirt or dress, first fold each sleeve backward then fold the entire garment in half lengthwise. Roll from the bottom hem up.

• Winter down jacket, squeeze it, then roll it the same way you would a top, squeezing as much air out of it as possible then secure tightly with string or large rubber bands to prevent it from coming undone. Slip it into a pillowcase and you’ve even got a germ-free headrest for the plane

Folding is great for structured suitcases; wrinkle-prone fabrics, such as linen, rayon, silk and tailored garments (dress shirts, woven skirts, trousers, jackets) and thick sweaters.

To fold a:
• Dress shirt, lay it buttoned-up, face down and flat. Center a magazine below the collar. Fold in the right side of the shirt, using the magazine’s edge as a guide. Take the arm and position it straight down, parallel to the shirt’s body. Repeat on the opposite side. Fold the bottom of the shirt so that the hem touches the shoulders. Slide out the magazine from the top. 

• Pair of dress pants, fold along the center creases or the side seams so that the legs stack on top of each other. Fold in half so that the waist touches the hem. Fold in half again Full skirt or dress, fold it in half lengthwise so that the side seams line up. Fold the angled edge inward to form a rectangle. Fold the garment in half horizontally or, if it’s on the longer side, in thirds. Then pack it on top of everything else in the suitcase

•Bundling is great for structured suitcase; (doesn’t work so well with weekenders or duffel) and a mix of unstructured and tailored clothing.

To bundle:
• Layer all your clothes around a core object, like an organizer pouch, so there are no hard creases

• Each garment should be buttoned or zipped and placed face-up (face-down for jackets).

•Place tailored garments that wrinkle easily on the outside of the bundle, cushioned by both the other clothes and the core Add pieces that are less likely to wrinkle (near the core). Lay short dresses and tops vertically, alternating north and south, and long dresses and bottoms horizontally, alternating east and west. (sequence from the outer layer in: jackets, short dresses, long-sleeve shirts, short-sleeve shirts, pants, long dresses, skirts, sweaters, knits, and shorts Starting from the top of the pile, wrap each garment around the core

•Luckily for you, there’s no luggage weight limit when traveling with Rental Bus Charter. But, with these handy tips, you’ll be able to pack light and travel on without any hassle.

Tips on Packing Smart (Part 1)

Luckily when you travel with Rental Bus Charters’ party bus, charter bus, coach charter, mini bus, or sleeper coaches, the luggage is all taken care of for you. But you’ve still got to pack that luggage.

Packing can always be challenging. You have that much stuff, to fit into that little a limited space in the rental bus. So how can you bring it all with you on your journeys? Well, the trick is to learn how to pack smart.

Organize your items using Packing Cubes. This way, you can pack similar items into the same cubes or to plan your clothes by sorting them into different cubes. Padded cubes are excellent for bulky electronic devices and keeping their power cords from getting tangled with other stuff in your luggage.

One can never be quite sure how clean public surfaces are, especially your seats, beds or even elevator buttons. Remedy this by carrying a portable bottle of disinfectant that you can spray onto surfaces or squeeze onto your hands to ensure your exposure to anything non-hygiene remains controlled at all times. This special tip was brought to you by experienced charter bus tour visitors and organizers who have really seen and done it all.

A portable external battery pack is perfect solution for powering or recharging your electronic devices such as digital music players or mobile phones. And with a few adapters, you can use this solution anywhere in the world, whether you are visiting in a charter bus or flying around.

The air-conditioning systems on most modes of travel can turn chillingly cold at night so bring a jacket or a portable blanket so you can stay toasty and comfortable. This also allows you to create a small personal cocoon of privacy in the bus rental vehicle that you are traveling in.

Download an e-book or two or more, onto a kindle, android tablet or iPad and spend those not-so-interesting times reading. If you’re traveling to a place in a coach bus for the first time, download a travel book or travel tips from various online sources for that location.

Sometimes, all one needs to block out the noise at a transport transit hub or traffic jam in the bus charter vehicle is some good tunes. Download your favorite playlist into a digital music player and simply turn it on when the surroundings turn you off.

Never fret again when it comes to charter bus traveling and enjoy your trip to the max with Rental Bus Charter and with these handy tips, you’ll be in control of practically every aspect of your trip.
