Madame Tussaud's After Dark:
Come see what dark secrets lurk in the depths of the world-famous wax museum. The history tells of a dark side that few care to revisit. During the French Revolution, Madame Tussaud was forced to dig through piles of executed noble’s bodies, creating death masks of famous victims and collecting gruesome artifacts for her traveling Chamber of Horrors like the guillotine blade that beheaded Marie Antoinette. Will you survive Scream, the Chamber of Horrors, Prepare yourself for a restless night after a tour that will keep you in constant fear. Whoever said you shouldn't be afraid of the dark...lied.

Candlelight Ghost Tours of “Manhattan’s Most Haunted House”

Not recommended for children. Cost: $25, MHM Members $13. 29 East Fourth Street, bet. Lafayette and Bowery; 10/29 & 10/30, 6 to 10 p.m. (45 minute tours begin every half hour).

Special Halloween weekend shows @ The IFC!

Kubrick meets Stephen King: in the deserted off-season at a massive, isolated resort hotel, new caretaker Jack Nicholson descends into madness with wife Shelley Duvall and their son the only witnesses. Trust me. It doesn't get much scarier than this. Boo! Cost: $13.50. 323 Sixth Avenue @ West Third Street; 10/30, midnight.

Halloween Spooktacular Improv Show:
Every Halloween season, the National Comedy Theatre proudly presents what is commonly referred to as the "dumbest show of the year!" The annual SPOOKTACULAR features scenes and games that they've never done before, creepy themes to all of the suggestions, death defying sketches - including one where a performer's head is submerged in a bucket of water for the entire scene, and the weirdest ending to a comedy show you that you have ever seen! ***Buy your tickets TODAY!!!

Saturday's Better Late Than Never Post: Follow the Fall Foliage!

2009-10-17T20:26:00.009-04:00

I have always thought of New York City as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. What better way to enjoy it than to take a stroll in one of our many magnificent parks on a Sunday afternoon. And you can bring the kiddies too! To that end, I found this little tidbit on TimeOutKids.com. Thought I'd share...

Whether your children pick them up from the sidewalk on the way to school or plunge into a pile of them at a nearby park, brightly hued, crunchy leaves can provide hours of amusement for kids. Most trees in New York City will begin to turn this month, when the decrease in daylight hours causes them to stop producing chlorophyll, says Richard Simon, a captain for the Urban Park Rangers. At that point, he says, “the other colors in the leaves, like yellow and red, begin to emerge.” So tuck a heavy tome in your bag (the phone book works well) for preserving your offspring’s treasures. Then set out for one of the parks below.

Fort Greene Park

Home to nearly 40 different species—including ginkgo, green ash and London plane—this former stomping ground of Walt Whitman’s is an ideal place for leaf lifting. Head to the visitors’ center and then follow the Tree Trail, a marked pathway with helpful descriptions of each species. Enter from Washington Park at Willoughby Ave, Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

Alley Pond Park

The Tulip Tree Trail will lead you past one of NYC’s tallest such specimens, but Alley Pond Park is also dotted with sassafras trees, which are a very pretty peep: You’ll find three leaf shapes (oval, mitten, and three-pronged) that might have dropped from the exact same branch. They come in a spectrum of colors from yellow to deep red. Enter from Winchester Blvd at Grand Central Pkwy, Douglaston, Queens.

Central Park

At the end of October, go to the open meadow below Belvedere Castle. That’s where you’ll find red sailing down from the black tupelo trees. The Ramble is another place to play, especially during the first week of November, when the ginkgo trees seem to shed their leaves all at once. “It forms a carpet of gingko leaves that’s one of the best sights in Central Park,” says Neil Calvenese, vice president of operations. Midpark at 79th St.

Prospect Park

The sugar maples along the south shore of the lake are the first trees to change, to a brilliant orange. But if you want more of a woodsy feeling, head for the ravine trails, located between the Nethermead and the Long Meadow. Bonus: The trees—ash, tulip and others—are reflected in ponds, doubling the stunning spectacle. Enter from Prospect Park West at 3rd, 9th or 15th St, Brooklyn.

Clove Lakes Park

Visit the northwest section of the green space, where you’ll find a 300-year-old, 107-foot-tall tulip tree, Staten Island’s largest living thing. The park is also home to white pine, maple, beech and oak trees. Enter from Victory Blvd at Clove Rd, Staten Island.

For more kid-friendly activities, visit Time Out New York Kids.

Friday's Bonus BlogPost: Weekends are for Warehouses! Prada/MiuMiu All For YOU!!!

2009-10-16T12:00:00.000-04:00

This weekend I am doing laundry. So fun. What...a....lucky....girl....I....am. Hopefully, you're smarter than me. Hopefully, you will get up early, drag your butt to midtown and shop your little heart out. Hopefully, you will take advantage of the deep discounts (DEEP!!!) and snag a handbag, a dress, hell, grab a shoe. This is Prada, for pumpkin's sake. If this isn't worth getting up early for, I don't know what is. 609 W. 51st St., nr. Eleventh Ave.; S–Su (9–6), M–F (10–7).

Fashion, Music and Art (Rocks!): Pop (-Up Shop) Goes Harlem!

2009-10-16T07:00:00.003-04:00

I have a serious affection for Harlem. I'm totally digging this part of town. My love runs real deep. But, if you're not already, I am sure that this event will have you jonesin' for more of SoHa when you leave. Check it: A Pop-Up Shop is a Pop-Up Shop is a Pop-Up Shop. Blah, blah, blah. But throw in a DJ, cocktails, art by up-and-coming artists and designers and host it all in a sick brownstone, now you have a party. Such is the case this Saturday @ Harlem Pop: A Parlour Session. From the Host: Harlem Pop is part of an ongoing series of "PoP Up Experience Shops" that utilize unconventional spaces to house one-day installations of art, music and fashion by emerging artists of various mediums. All works exhibited are available to purchase. Sweet. Indigo Arms Guest House, 181 Lenox Avenue @ 119th Street, 10/17: 2 - 7 p.m.

Pumpkin Picking, Pedicabs and a Petting Zoo, Too! Charlie Brown Ain't Got Nothin' on Us!

2009-10-15T07:00:00.001-04:00

Why schlep all the way out to the Hamptons, New Jersey or Staten Island, when you can have a little bit of the country right in your own backyard? For the first time ever, Manhattan is getting its very own pumpkin patch, courtesy of Old Navy. And in the Meatpacking District, no less. The Patch will have pumpkin picking, pumpkin decorating, pedi-cab hayrides and even a petting “zoo”. Expert celebrity pumpkin carver, Hugh McMahon, will be offering demonstrations + feature the most elaborate pumpkin creations to ever hit New York City! Added Bonus: This event will benefit Food Bank for NYC. (Donations are voluntary, but strongly recommended)

Do good. Have fun. Paint a pumpkin. Sounds to me like a good deal all around. Old Navy Urban Pumpkin Patch, Ninth Ave. at Little W. 12th St.; 10/16 - 10/17: F (9–6), S (10–6). Cost: FREE.

Chuckle. Chuckle. Giggle. Giggle. Hardy Har Har! That's all I've got. Oh, yea, and this:

Deep End @ Union Pool: The Deep End is a bi-weekly comedy variety show at Williamsburg hot-spot Union Pool. Each show features stand up comics, storytellers, character, sketch acts, and musical acts making it one of the only true variety shows in the city.

Splurge Vs. Steal: Ms. Fabulosity's Picks of the Week!

2009-10-11T07:00:00.005-04:00

Stuff is everywhere! More stuff out and about than anyone could ever use, try or sample. So, I thought I'd make it easy for you. Why am I giving you both the higher end and the lower end you ask? Simple. I figure that if you save enough on all of the steals and deals I give you every day, you should be able to treat yourself from time to time, right? {Insert nodding head here}. See? I knew you'd agree with me. ;-)

This week's picks are all about pampering your sweet, little toesies. Yes, this week is all about the feet. Splurge: Diamancel's luxurious line of foot buffers are a footsie must-have. An industrial-strength, furiously fast-acting foot file that takes care of thick, dry, and cracked callus buildup. Fabulous! My personal pick: The Bliss #20 Conquerer. $38, various websites.

Steal: The PedEgg is an As-Seen-on-TV item that actually lives up to the hype. The Ped Egg has over 100 precision microfiles that remove the calluses and dead skin from your feet, leaving you with silky smooth skin. It's tiny, travel-friendly, mess-proof and CHEAP!!! What more could you want? $10 (buy one, get one free online), various stores and online.

I can see you tap dancing from here. Enjoy your happy feet!

Culture Alert: This Weekend, There's Nothing Wrong With Being a Peeping Thomasina...

2009-10-10T07:00:00.004-04:00

New York is a big dang place. So big, in fact, that even Ms. Fabulosity can't get to it all. But what I can do, and DO do, is to look up. The architecture here is AMAZING! New York City is just beautiful, if you look at it the right way (by that I mean with your eyes open!). Where am I going with this? All over New York, babycakes!

Event Description:

openhousenewyork (OHNY) will present the 7th Annual openhousenewyork Weekend, October 10th and 11th. OHNY provides free access to sites that showcase New York City's rich architectural, design, engineering and cultural heritage. This year’s diverse selection ranges from the historic to the cutting edge.

Among the participating sites are tours of the legendary Apollo Theater, the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel—the world's oldest subway tunnel, the newly opened High Line and, rising above it, the Standard Hotel.

Perennial favorite sites and programs will once again be opening their doors to the public: Alice Austen House, Angels and Accordions at The Green-Wood Cemetery, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Ellis Island's South Side and Ferry Building tours, the Grand Lodge of Masons, High Bridge Water Tower, Murray's Cheese, the Noguchi Museum, the Paul Rudolph Foundation/Modulightor Building, Radio City Music Hall, Queens Botanical Garden, Tom Otterness Studio, and Seven World Trade Center.

This is an event for the born and bred and transplants alike. See New York City from the inside out. Get up, get out and take a bite of our lovely, yummy Apple! See website for more details.

Baby, It's Cold Outside! Let Me Warm You Up... winkwink*

2009-10-08T07:00:00.000-04:00

Okay. I have to admit. I have been in denial. I have lived in New York City my whole life and know the weather like the back of my hand and yet, I can't seem to wrap my brain around the fact that summer is over and fall has begun. Well, if you are like me and need an Autumnal jumpstart, head over the the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Thrift Shop for a boost. FYI: This ain't your Mama's thrift shop.

This elegant shop is more boutique than thrift store and this weekend they are is hosting a fall luxury-coat sale. Hundreds of coats, jackets, capes, and accessories starting at just $65! Designer minks are $1,800. If you're gonna get warm, this is the way to do it! Do we love this or what?! Happy hunting. 1440 Third Ave., nr. 81st St. (212-535-1250); F (10–5:30), S (11–5).

Aspen Today... Turks Tomorrow... All For A Steal! Recession-Busting Travel Site for the Jetsetting Fashionista!

2009-09-28T00:01:00.003-04:00

Calling all Travelistas! From the group that brought us Gilt, the website dedicated to helping us fill our closets with ridiculously discounted merch, we now have Jetsetter, a slicker version of Gilt for travel. Sweet!

Jetsetter is a members-only site. That means sales are not available to the general public. Membership is completely free and sales have no additional fees. Sales last for two days, or until sold out, and are centered around one particular destination, theme or brand. Users can typically select from a variety of room types at different price points, so every budget can be accommodated. Rates are only good during the sale, so be sure to book before it's over. P.S. Deals found on Jetsetter are not available anywhere else! This is exclusivity to the max!

Now, there is, of course a bit of a catch. Being so new, Jetsetter is not taking on members. If you are a member of Gilt Group, though, you're a member of Jetsetter. And if you're not, I can help with that. Just click on any one of the links above to accept your invitation to Gilt. Once a member you will not only have access to the most marvelous fashions, but the world will be your oyster!

Upcoming Sales: South America, Venice, Italy and the Isle of Mustique. Pure indulgence...

Okay, so my rest lasted a little longer than a day. What can I say? I guess I overslept. How can I make it up to you? How about I lull you into forgiveness with the soothing sounds of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center? I can be forgiven for my absence and you can become a little more couth. Win-win, no?

Here's the deal courtesy of Groupon.com:

Enjoy the sweet strains of the CMS well into next year: $55 gets you three concerts of your choice presented by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (a $120 value). The accomplished artists of CMS range from the most recognized musicians in the world to gifted, emerging young stars. CMS presents chamber music of every instrumentation, style, historical period, and height in its extensive concert season, and today's deal allows you to sample a few.

CMS performances take place in the newly re-opened Alice Tully Hall, which was closed for nearly two years for renovations. Acoustics in the magnificently renovated space are pristine and rich, and carry the intimacy of chamber music—be it a piano sonata for four hands or string quartet for eight hands—to each seat with warmth and clarity. Anthony Tommasini of the New York Times says the 1,087-seat hall is "the most remarkable achievement of the renovation is that the Starr Theater, though not any smaller, now feels intimate and warm." This rare deal gives you the chance to hear some of the world's finest musicians perform in this beautiful new space again and again.

How fantastic is that?! But you have to hurry! This deal expires at midnight. So, now all is forgiven, right? Thanks, I love you, too! Enjoy the concerts and I'll see you tomorrow!

Today I Rest...

2009-09-05T00:01:00.000-04:00

Danielle really does do NYC! This glamorous(ly poor) girl is exhausted.
Saturday will be my day of rest. See you all tomorrow!

Eat/Shop/Drink/Indulge:: All on the Cheap!

2009-09-04T00:01:00.002-04:00

Four day weekend: Four ideas to have a kick-ass mini-holiday in our kick-ass city! Live it up, people!

Eat: If you can't finagle your way into your neighbor's barbecue, the next best thing is a fabulous burger and an ice cold beer. That said make your way into Soho to Shortys.32 for their signature sliders and a beer of the bartender's choosing. These yummy burgers are made with ground short ribs, giving them a richer flavor than most ordinary hamburgers. Couple that with a charred-to-perfection sesame seed brioche from Tom Cat Bakery, and it's easy to see why it’s a hit. And what will this tasty morsel and a icy cold sudsy cost you? Just $12!!! What a bargain, especially when you consider that the burger alone costs $16. YUM! Shorty's.32, 199 Prince Street, 212.375.8275.

Shop: Shopping is great, but shopping for a cause is better. After you meet your friends for brunch, why not stop by the Hog Pit for a little accessorizing. Stock up on accessories and support breast-cancer research at the Hog Pit's jewelry trunk show, featuring discounted designs from Elizabeth Warner's Maasai collection, as well as silver, gold, and gemstone pieces from Laura Mady. Part of the proceeds will go to the Breast Center at St. Vincent's Comprehensive Cancer Center. Sweet! The Hog Pit, 37 W. 26th St., nr. Sixth Ave. (212-604-0092); 12:30–8.

Drink: You'll want to kiss me after this one. It'll be all you can do to contain yourself, watch. Agozar is having a Recession Special every Friday and Saturday night, 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.: All-You-Can-Drink Sangria! All-You-Can-Drink Drafts! All-You-Can-Drink Mojitos! Just $20 per person!!! I tell you the truth. I never lie. Just go to the Agozar page on Citysearch and print out your All-You-Can-Drink coupon (be careful though, there are two. Print the one for 10 p.m. - 2 a.m). P.S. While you're there, grab a bite. Agozar is a full-fledged restaurant. Agozar, 324 Bowery @ Bleecker Street, 347.223.5169.

Indulge: Meander over to Queens for a little free luxury (and isn't that the best kind?) this weekend. Stop by the launch party for new Atina Aqua Mineral product line at Rani Spas. Founder Dr. Rani Thukral will give free consultations, and the store is offering free use of spa services, including massages and waxes, in addition to complimentary refreshments. Seriously? What more can you ask for? I am ooohhhing and aaahhhing as we speak... ;-) Rani Spas, 64-11 108th St., Forest Hills (718-830-0100); 4:30–8:30.

Pretty, Pretty Dresses... Pretty, Pretty Dresses For Sale!

2009-09-03T00:01:00.000-04:00

I have a confession. It's an addiction actually. I love a pretty dress. I crave them. I need them. I have to have them. Here's the problem, though: I can't afford anything! It's true. Like most addicts, my addiction had put me in the (glamorously) poor house!

But I still need my fix. That's where eDressMe.com comes in. Beginning Thursday, September 3 and ending on the 10th, eDressMe is hosting a summer sample sale, offering up to 90 percent off select designer dresses. We are talking Nicole Miller, Tracy Reese, ABS and more! Prices are $150 or less. After you get your fix, remember to think of me, 'kay? Enjoy! 325 W. 38th St., nr. Eighth Ave., 17th fl. (212-239-6505) M–F (9:30–6) or online.

Who Wants to Drink for FREE?! Ooohh Me!! I Do! I Do! Pick ME!! Pick ME!!

2009-09-02T00:01:00.003-04:00

I love this place. Truly I do. Drinks, atmosphere and food, oh my! I love LCL without free drinks so imagine how fantastic this place must be with complimentary cocktails. I Aaaahhhh at the thought...

Here's the deal: Las Chicas Locas is having a Labor Day Block Party on Thursday night (September 3rd) and as their special gift to you they are having a two hour complimentary cocktail special! Okay, let me repeat that for the cheap seats: 2 Hours of Complimentary Cocktails!!! The event begins at 5:30 and continues until 7:30 p.m. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. Tip: Have the $2 sliders during Happy Hour (until 7). You will dream about them for weeks after. I promise. {*salivating*salivating*} 160 West 25th Street, New York, NY, 212.337.8301

Put your hands on me, Baby!!!

2009-09-01T00:01:00.007-04:00

No, no, no... This is not an invitation for some lovin' (but maybe we can arrange something later *wink*wink*), this is this week's announcement for Tuesday's $25 spa offer (www.25Tuesdays.com). Every Tuesday I will give you the dish on what $25 offer you will get to indulge in. This city gal is fabulously stressed, so again I say, "Put your hands on me, baby..." Mama needs a massage!

Just like for Cinderella, midnight is the witching hour for this offer. Don't delay! Your massage awaits. Enjoy!

$25 Deep Tissue Massage at Vada Spa
30 Minutes (44% off - regularly $45!)

Stressful summer? Get some deep relaxation with this deep tissue massage. Perfect for chronic muscle discomfort, knots and tension. The intensity and pressure of this massage increases the flow of blood & oxygen circulation, relieves tension at the core of tight muscles, and helps reduce inflammation and pain. Ideal for sports related stress and tensions.

Let's Do Lunch! For WAYYY Less!

2009-08-31T00:01:00.000-04:00

New York is nothing without it's food. Outside of Paris, there is no greater food destination than here. Looking at the Zagat guide you see a veritable who's who of celebrity chefs from Jean George to Daniel Boloud to Wylie Dufresne to anyone else you can possible think of. New York is arguably the dining capital of the world.

Now here is the deal: Eating at restaurants with Zagat ratings, Michelin stars and the like is costly! Outside of Restaurant Week (only two times a year, dontcha know!), finding fancy schmancy food is a challenge. Well, guess what? Do I have some treats for you!

Here is a list of way high-end dining experiences that are prix fixe (a.k.a CHEAP!) all year long! Put on your bib and take a gander. Prepare to let your mouth water... ;-) Enjoy!

Jean-Georges Vongerichten is the best there is. And he wants to share his goodness with you. That is why, this summer (and, I believe, all year long) he is offering an amazing $26 two course lunch at Jean Georges (in the Nougatine Room). Zagat says, Jean Georges is a “class act from start to finish”, Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Columbus Circle flagship “continues to dazzle” with “top-rung”, “ever-evolving” New French prix fixes that “simultaneously comfort and excite”. Simply delightful. Jean Georges, Trump Int'l Hotel, 1 Central Park West (bet. 60th & 61st Streets), 212.299.3900
(P.S. This deal is also on at these other JG restaurants: Matsugen, Perry St., JoJo, Mercer Kitchen and Vong)

David Chang is the ish. Bottom line. And Momofuku Ssam is, for sure, one of the most inventive incarnations of his imagination. That is why you should be uber-happy to know that Momofuku Ssam has a lovely little prix fixe lunch just waiting for you to nibble. For $25, you get a simply divine prix fixe lunch where you get to choose one of three different appetizers, one of three main courses, and one of two desserts. This is a steal and less than half of what it would normally cost. Trust me. Indulge yourself. Momofuku Ssam Bar,207 2nd Avenue (@13th Street). No phone.

Gotham Bar & Grill is heaven and Alfred Portale is a god. For over 25 years this New York staple has been a constant for all things belly-filling and fabulous in New American cuisine. So, how lucky are we that there is a beautiful little $31 prix fixe lunch sitting squarely in the middle of their totally awesome menu each and every day and all year long? Too fantastic for words. Gotham Bar and Grill, 12 E. 12th St. (bet. 5th Ave. & University Pl.), 212.620.4020.

Indian anyone? Tabla is the the standard in high-end Indian cuisine in New York City. And now, with a gorgeous $24 Summer prix-fixe lunch menu, you get to see just how the other half lives. From food to atmosphere to service and back to food, Tabla will never disappoint. Tabla, 11 Madison Avenue (@ 25th Street), 212.889.0667.

Finally, let me round out our little lunch chat with a good steak. Yes, dammit, I said STEAK! We are headed to Del Frisco's for, arguably, some of the best steak in New York City. Doubt me? Well, with a $31 prix fixe Business Lunch, you can try it out and see if you can prove me wrong. Go 'head. I dare ya. Del Frisco's, 1221 Sixth Avenue (bet. 48th & 49th sts.), 212.575.5129.

For months, I have been trying to figure out how to refocus my blog. I know now! {Insert suspenseful music here.}

I LOVE New York! Truly. I live here, I eat here, I shop here (boy, do I!) and I love every minute of it. Check this out though: After all of the living and eating and shopping, I am broke!

I eat on the cheap, I shop on the cheap, I spa on the cheap, I totally live on the cheap and now you can, too! Danielle Does NYC is now your one stop shop for how to be glamorously poor while living FABULOUSLY on the Cheap! Enjoy!
