The 88th Academy Awards are a mere ten days away, with host Chris Rock sure to bring the laughs and fun throughout the night. Movies and television alike have a great tradition of using New York City as the backdrop to whatever story they are telling (Hello, Sex And The City), and in that backdrop you will find some iconic locations that helped mold the story that turned these movies into the blockbusters that they are known today. So which locations made the cut? You probably know many of them already. From iconic restaurants to hotels, these are the ones that made their debuts on the silver screen.

Escape to Cuban Heaven at Havana Central in Times Square
Let’s face it- for the people that live in New York City, an area that we kind of/sort of have come to despise over recent years is Times Square. Yes, Times Square, the biggest tourist spot in the world, is full of a bunch of eye sores that many of us turn a blind eye to each time we are in this overpacked location. However, there are a few standout restaurants in the midst of the craziness that make you forget about the annoying visitors and focus on the good night ahead. With all the crazy cold weather we’ve been getting, I couldn’t think of a better place to escape to than a delicious Cuban experience at Havana Central, located on 46th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue.

The Chippendales Rocked the House at The Paramount Friday Night
This past Friday night, The Paramount in Huntington Village out on Long Island had the house rocking but not by its usual way of musical acts or comedic performances. This type of performance was for the ladies (and a few choice gentlemen only), as it was girls night out to see the world famous Chippendales, who stopped by the famed location for their “Break The Rules” tour, an amazing evening that many of them will never forget.

Why You Should Stop Into Aperitif Bistro Wine Bar
French cuisine is one of the most sophisticated cuisines in the world, and is one that is very important to the New York City foodie scene. One place in particular that has this concept down pat is Aperitif Bistro Wine Bar, with two locations in Bayside and Rockville Centre, the latter being a mere 20 minutes outside of Manhattan. I went to the Rockville Centre location the other night, as I heard rave reviews about this and was pleasantly satisfied with the end result.

Why Villa Borgehese III Is Worth The Trip To Jersey City
As far as I am concerned, if Italian food is good… you travel for it. With the endless options you can try with one of the best cuisines in the world, you might be surprised that there are good places that can provide such a treat for your palate that runs outside of New York City. Shocking, right? One of these places is called VB3, short for Villa Borghese, located right off The Path Train in Jersey City. When you can master a hard combination of exquisite Italian cuisine in a sports bar setting, you must be doing something right. And VB3 does that… and more.
