March 25, 2015 // Greek Independence Day Parade
Pay attention, class, because the School of Seastreak is now in session. (You, there. In the back. Don’t think we can’t see you making spitballs.) Today, we’re learning about when Greece won its independence from the Ottoman Empire. (This has nothing to do with footrests.) Greece fought a war for revolution between 1821 and 1832,…
March 24, 2015 // NYC Craft Distillers Festival
Most of us have heard of Prohibition, even if it seems pretty unreal from this far along in the future. Who can believe the government thought it was a good idea to ban drinking alcohol? It was a policy that was doomed not only to fail, but fail in truly spectacular fashion. However, Prohibition has…
March 23, 2015 // The King and I
It’s good to be king. You get a fancy hat, and sometimes, a scepter with dazzling jewels. There’s servants to deal with housework for you, so you don’t have to do your own laundry. You’ve got an instant appeal with attractive potential dates. (Or your royal rank does, anyway, but we’re trying to be optimistic…

Atlantic Highlands, NJ has a bit of the best of everything hidden away in its picturesque streets. It’s got that small-town charm you won’t find often enough in today’s busy, modern world.

You’ve seen enough snow now, right? Could be, you’ve seen enough snow for the next three years. If you caught Jack Frost alone somewhere, he might end up in the bay while wearing a pair of cement shoes. (Disclaimer: Seastreak does not endorse violence against people real or fictional, but we’re pretty darned tired of…

Creators often get asked the question, “Where do you get your ideas?” There aren’t any idea stores in shopping malls, with neatly packaged inspirations for music, books, and movies waiting on the shelves. Ideas come from everywhere, but especially from the powerful experiences in our lives. Simple, ordinary events can become extraordinary stories filled with…

New York City changes to suit the times like a chameleon changes colors. (New York doesn’t have the funky eyeballs, though.) Eras change, and the Big Apple shifts right along with them to reflect the world around it. Despite this, the beating heart of New York keeps the same, steady rhythm it always has. You…
March 16, 2015 // Saint Patrick’s Day 2015
Warm up your bagpipes and buy stock in food coloring! Saint Patrick’s Day arrives this week in a flurry of clovers, leprechauns, and foods dyed an unnatural shade of green. New York City proclaims its ties to the Irish culture with parades, parties, and events for people of all ages. Have a look at a…

Broadway never changes. The ages roll by, the calendar flips from year, but Broadway’s antics stay the same. One of the best ways to see how Broadway endures is to watch shows set in bygone times, to see how the trappings change, but little else bothers to. A great example of this is playing right…

For the longest time, high praise for a restaurant came with the words “generous portions”. Translated, that meant, “a plate full of enough food to serve the entire population of Rhode Island”, and if you didn’t need two doggy bags to cart out the remains of your dinner? Then the restaurant didn’t give you enough…
