Butter Restaurant - New York City

Every year, NYC like many cities promotes restaurant week where prixe fixe menus at highly-rated or cutting-edge (sometimes, more ambience than food) restaurants are offered at lower octane prices.  One on the 2013 list was Butter Restaurant in downtown Manhattan which serves traditional American food with a spicy kick.  For foodies, I heard that the Executive Chef is Food Network favorite, Alexandra Guarnaschelli.

Coney Island Mermaid Parade - Brooklyn, NY

Coney Island, a piece of Brooklyn, New York that is still unique and quirky, welcomes the summer with a wacky, fun Mermaid Parade each year since 1983.  A bit of outrageous, a lot of pasties, Nathan's Original hot dogs, a wooden boardwalk, sandy beach, aging Cyclone roll coaster and lately, some new rides added in Luna Park truly define Coney Island as it is today!
