Art breathes new life into everything it touches, and Long Island City serves as another example of that fact. Once a Queens neighborhood devoted entirely to industry, L.I.C. is now an artistic haven, a luxurious district and an NYC traveler’s dream.

Visit this dynamic new cultural hot spot for less when you book your Long Island City hotel through Orbitz. Save an additional 10% off your stay at some of the top hotels in Long Island City with your Orbitz coupon:

• Best Western City View Inn – Classic charms with modern amenities
• Comfort Inn Long Island City – Stylish, modern & affordable
• Holiday Inn Express Queens Midtown Tunnel - Big rooms near the major thoroughfares

As the westernmost part of Queens, L.I.C. puts you just across the river from Midtown Manhattan and some of the most popular tourist spots in the city. But to stay in Long Island City and not check out its destinations would be a low-down, dirty shame:

• 5 Pointz – Shifting collage of graffiti from some of the city’s best artists
• Gantry Plaza State Park – Gorgeous views of the UN Headquarters & Manhattan skyline
• P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center – Must-see collection of contemporary art
• Sculpture Center – Contemporary-art sculpture museum
• Water Taxi Beach – Urban beach open during the summer

1993 – New York Islander Goalie Billy Smith Elected to NHL Hall of Fame - Not only has this agile goalie won 4 Stanley Cups, he was the first goalie to be credited a goal!  His most famous game in my eyes is when he shut out the Edmonton Oilers in the 1983 Stanley Cup Finals. His 2 – 0 victory shut out the likes of Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Paul Coffey and Jari Kurri.  Have you got a little Battin’ Billy in your game? If so, head over to Dicks Sporting Goods for great deals on hockey gear. Use our free Dicks Sporting Goods coupons for 15% off discount hockey equipment for goalies!

National Catfish Day – Although I do love seafood, I have to admit I’ve never actually eaten catfish. There’s just something about fish named after domestic pets that I can’t quite wrap my head around! When researching this holiday, I did come across a few catfish recipes that look yummy. The only drawback to cooking fish is it tends to leave your home smelling a little on the funky side. Unless, that is, you invest in a good-quality range hood to remove undesirable oil and bad scents as you cook. Visit Compact Appliance and check out the selection of Haier and Summit range hoods on sale to suit your kitchen cooking needs. Take advantage of Compact Appliance coupons and save 6% on all orders!
