LA’s Plushiest Diners

As quickly as we would be to admit that visiting Los Angeles is almost always about hitting the beaches, surfing things up, making new friends and perhaps going to parks and tourist hotspots, we think Los Angeles are pretty serious about good food and authentic cuisine too. People don’t think of coming to Los Angeles for specific food and instead, they are often engulfed in a passion to find something different - Los Angeles is not known as a culinary melting pot for nothing.

Finding a good restaurant in Los Angeles isn’t tough at all, with or without the help of reviewers and critics easily found on the internet, because there is one at every corner of Los Angeles downtown area. The hard part is deciding on a single one to try out.

If you are looking for something fancy, we assure you that it is PRECISELY that that you will find in Spago Restaurant. Chef Wolfgang Puck is a very well-known chef in this corner of the world and he is known to be friends with many celebrity friends hence, if you are really lucky, you might bump into your favorite celebrity while dining out at this upscale restaurant. One would think that a restaurant of this scale would be cold, calculating and pretentious - we were really surprised with the kind of royalty treatment we were given, despite us not being celebrities or anyone famous, for that matter. So, tips hat for being friendly and warm with everyone, including unknowns like us.

Another restaurant deserving of a shoutout from us would be The Stinking Rose Restaurant. Don’t be turned off by the inauspicious name (the owners must have really taken a gamble on the name) because the name came from the fact that most of their dishes features what they love the most - garlic. You get the name now, don’t you? Anyway, the chefs know their way around the freshest ingredients in Los Angeles...this is their feature and marketing tool. Nothing but fresh ingredients sourced from local farmers and producers.

For mouth-watering fanfare with a view, the place to be at would be Red Restaurant and Bar. Suffice to say, being located on top of a hill has its pluses. Located atop San Gabriel Mountains, once you are there, you will be treated to some of the best dishes money can buy, an unrivalled view over Los Angeles and plush atmosphere.

Now that we have that down pat, give us a call if you are organizing a group gathering, corporate meeting, business function, event, family gathering, bachelor or bachelorette party or a birthday bash. We would love to be a part of your event.

The Tech Museum of Innovation

If your kids love science, then you should really think about chartering a San Jose bus and bring the whole family for a day’s of exciting fun in the Tech Museum of Innovation. It will surely be a trip that they will never forget. There have been great reviews and comments on the Tech Museum of Innovation located at 201 S. Market St, San Jose, that if you are still thinking about if you should come here with your family, you really should. We are quite sure that as you may your way there in the San Jose charter bus, the bus driver would be sharing with you all the stories that he has heard from his other passengers on the museum and how much they have loved visiting the museum.

The Tech Museum of Innovation is full of fun and it engages visitors who have come on their own or traveled in a San Jose charter bus, with their exhibits and displays. Who would ever get tired of making their own solar panel arrays or pedal a bike to generate power for household items? Imagine the opportunity of being able to make your own wind and water turbine arrays. These things are somewhat not so available when you are at home. In fact, if you are not sure how to make them, you would not want to try them at home too. Hence, being here in this museum, gives you and your family endless opportunities to learn and do things that you probably have only dreamed of but never dared to try. Admission into the museum also gives you and your family a free screening in their IMAX Theater.

There is always something interesting and out of the ordinary happening at the Tech Museum of Innovation. One of the upcoming events is the Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination and the museum hours will be extended during this exhibit. They are expected to open from 10am to 7pm and the exhibition runs from November 29, 2013 to December 1, 2013 and from December 21, 2013 right through to January 5, 2014. However, they are closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Year’s days. So, do take note of the closing dates when you are making plans to charter the New Jersey bus, so that you won’t end up being disappointed when you arrive at the entrance of the museum to find that it is not open that day.

Marin Headlands, San Francisco

When it comes to planning outdoor trips, any time is almost a good time to do so, as long as the weather permits. For one who is very active and loves outdoors, trips to parks are one of the best things to do whenever time allows. And if it happens to be a trip with friends who are also like minded, the trip is even more fun and meaningful – not only do you get to spend time outdoors enjoying Mother Nature, you also get to be with your friends and enjoy the precious time together.

Marin Headlands is a beautiful park to go in a San Francisco charter bus with friends and family. It is a great place to go hiking, walking, running or just simply enjoy the beauty of nature and relax. Depending on yours as well as your friends’ preference, you can choose to have the bus driver send the whole group to the top of the Marin Headlands and wait for all of you at the foot of the hill while you hike your way down or vice versa. The main point would be to enjoy the beautiful view from the top of the Marin Headlands – other than having a great time working out your bodies with hiking, walking or jogging. If you didn’t already know, the view from the top of the Marin Headlands on a clear weather day is simply breathtaking because you get to see the city and the bridge rather clearly. However, there have been times when the weather is a little foggy; hence, the view of the bridge may not be so visible. Nevertheless, we would still say the view is magnificent and to think that creation can be this beautiful simply takes your breath away!

As you already know, a trip to the Marin Headlands will be an outdoor trip in the park, so even though you have the San Francisco rented bus waiting for you to bring you home afterwards, you still need to be appropriately dressed for the occasion – comfortable clothing, shoes and a water bottle are a must for outdoor trips such as this. Surely you would not want to have blisters on your feet at the end of the day, right? And if you and your friends enjoy picnics, this would be a great place for you to bring along your picnic baskets and find a perfect spot to sit down and enjoy your meal while you take in the beauty of Mother Nature!

Discovering the World At The Children's Discovery Museum

Children learn fast. They learn even faster when given the opportunity to explore the world around them. But not every place is a safe place for them to roam safely and wander while exploring the world around without the risks of danger. In San Jose, our new charter buses will be able to bring you and your children for a time of fun with learning in a safe environment at the Children’s Discovery Museum, which is located at 180 Woz Way, San Jose, CA 95110.

Children’s Discovery Museum is a wonderful place for children to learn while playing and exploring and if you are thinking of chartering our San Jose charter bus for a trip to this museum, why not bring along some of your friends’ children too? After all, the more, the merrier! A trip such as this gives the children to learn and play together and who knows - while the children play, their parents will also be able to pick up a tip or two of educational skills that they may want to repeat back home.

Upon arriving at the Children’s Discovery Museum in the San Jose chartered bus, you will quickly notice that the museum is a definitely a great place to take children between the ages of 2 to 10. The museum is also a place where birthday parties are held for children – the staffs there are so good at it that parents literally do not have to worry about anything when it comes to having a birthday party at the museum and the children? Well, they simply have so much fun that they have nothing to complain about the party!

The Children’s Discovery Museum is surely an incredible place for children to explore and learn while they are having fun at the same time. They also have a water area where they have many activities with different themes all through the year, so if you intend to bring the children there, you may want to bring extra change of clothes for them – there is no way kids can stay dry at the sight of a water play area!

The only problem that you may have is that with the amount of fun and exciting things to do at the museum, you may find it a little difficult to convince your little ones to leave and get on our chartered bus when it is time to leave – unless of course, you promise them another trip there soon!
