TOWIE Night Out! Where to go!

The Only Way Is Essex, commonly referred to as TOWIE by its fans, is perhaps the most popular British television show these days. The show is themed around real people, fake tans, high heels, manicures and real places. Impressed with its success and popularity, TOWIE’s fans all over the world try to emulate the colourful lifestyle it portrays. 
As the entire nation is swept by TOWIE fever, scores of fans head to Essex to visit all the hotspots shown so glamourously on the show. If you want to see all those places, it is best to find an Essex hotel and make reservations in advance. When you get there, make sure you don't go back without visiting these places: 
Sugar Hut
Sugar Hut has been shown various times throughout the series as one of the top nightlife destinations, which makes it the most crucial stop on the TOWIE night out tour. The club offers a la carte menu and wines of the highest international standards right in the heart of this famous county. Sugar Hut is located in the heart of Brentwood High Street and welcomes visitors all year round.

Minnie’s Boutique
Initially, the famous boutique was not open to public and was restricted only for shooting for the show. However, the proud owners Sam and Billie Faiers opened it for public in 2011 after TOWIE’s amazing success. The Faiers sisters certainly did not anticipate the huge crowd they received on the opening day. Thousands of young girls as well as a few men swarmed around and practically emptied the boutique within a few days of its opening. If you want a fresh posh stock of lavish dresses like the ones you see on the show, Minnie’s Boutique is the place to go to.

The King William IV 
Associated with “lunchtime gossip” on the show, The King William is a typical English pub located in Chigwell. The menu keeps changing with the season, and offers a number of traditional British favourites including steaks and fish and chips. It also offers Italian cuisine such as pizzas and home made fresh pastas. King William also offers an assortment of draft beers and cask ales for a perfect Essex night-out experience. 
Once you are done with experiencing the TOWIE phenomenon, make sure you see Essex’s other side as well. There’s a lot more to this county than just high heels and spray tans. Other spots you must visit include Burnham-on-Crouch, The Star Inn and Oyster Smack Inn.

Las Vegas Package Deals

I have always wanted to go to Las Vegas and see for myself this bustling place. I have friends of mine who have been to Las Vegas and they have told me stories about it and how they enjoyed their stay and what the place has to offer. I have always been intrigued on why it is called the “Sin City,” or the “Capital of Second Chances” and the “Marriage Capital of the World.” From the stories I’ve heard and from what I’ve seen on TV and in the movies, I guess it’s just fitting those names are just fitting because all you will have to do in Las Vegas is to spend money, gamble, have fun, spend more money and even get married (for those who are in a relationship).

I am pretty sure that there are places undiscovered in Las Vegas, like the other side of it, aside from the casinos, famous hotels, nightclubs, bars and other tourist spots. Once I get hold of Las Vegas Package Deals I will definitely check out those places that have never been explored or not those ones related to Sin City. I know there are other places to check out so that when it is my turn to tell stories, I am able to share something different and extraordinary.

Wishing For A New York City Tour

I’ve always wanted to treat my relatives to a city tour in New York, but getting here alone requires a lot of stuff to be done. I know it’s not easy but I know too that one of these days, I will be able to give them that trip. I’ve searched online for affordable tour packages to the “city that never sleeps” and luckily I found freestylenewyork.com. They have one flat rate that gives access to multiple double-decker bus tours, attractions and tickets to museums and cruises. There are also new york discounts for dining and airport transfers. I like the website’s offerings because you get to see New York your own way, you may want to skip a certain museum and head off to the Empire State building or just take a cruise or probably have a picnic at the Central Park. Just by reading and going through their attractive tour packages made me want to book one for my family!

I am pretty sure that if my relatives are able to go through the process of traveling from Asia to US, they would surely enjoy the sights and sounds of New York. So for now, I will have to work harder so that I can get to bring my relatives here and experience the beauty and wonder of New York.
