6-Pack Travel Bags for Fitness Enthusiasts...


For anyone committed to nutrition and fitness, we highly recommend this company and their perfect products for you, 6-Pack bags. Travel effortlessly without any interruptions.

6-Pack's manufactures duffle bags, briefcases, backpacks, and meal management bags for men and women. Their mission was to create innovative travel gear, bags and luggage for the elite athlete and fitness enthusiast. Each one of their bags was meticulously designed, keeping all of your needs on the top of their list. There wasn't a thing they didn't think of, and utilizing their bags makes working out on the go not only simple and manageable, but it actually makes it fun.


When you're preparing for your day, and your fitness schedule, what kinds of things do you need to take along? Clothing, drinks, meals, accessories, and supplements are part of the long list. 6-Packs gear bags are loaded with pockets to organize all of those items for you so that they're easy to find and access. No more wasted time trying to find your plastic bag of vitamins, or your workout gloves. Each item has its own dedicated spot.

There are varied features in each style, and here's a general list: patented system to organize meals; insulated compartments; modular internal shelving system; slot-in gel packs; BPA/PVC free containers that are safe in microwaves, dishwashers and leakproof; ergonomic padded bag straps for comfort.


One of our testers works 16 hours a day as a personal trainer. Here's his testimonial:

"It's safe to say that the Beast Duffle is truly a beast. Since I work such long hours, you can only imagine how many things I need to pack up for the day. For starters, there's a cooler section with 6 plastic meal sleeves... more than enough for all of your meals and snacks. It helps to keep me energized and prevents me from missing any important meals throughout the day (you only need to change out the ice packs once in 16 hours!). In addition, there are plenty of dedicated pockets for your phone, protein, supplements, vitamins, training and workout clothes, water bottles, utensils, blender bottles, shoes, visor, towel, workout equipment and accessories, headphones, computer, books, and lots more. There are compartments for almost anything you could imagine. The design is extremely cool... they really thought of everything. I constantly have people asking me where to get one... they're that unique."

 "The Voyager Backpack" is something that I use for non-work days. It holds a good amount of food in its cooler compartment, with enough pockets for many of the items held in the Beast. It's a little larger than a normal backpack, but it's not at all uncomfortable due to its excellent design and soft and durable materials used. I recently used the Voyager on a mountain hike with some of my friends and it was so useful, and comfortable enough to wear while walking up a full mountain. I recommend this for anyone who doesn't need an entire days worth of food and clothes, but just a few hours worth of necessities."

There's only one place to go for your fitness travel bags and that's 6-Pack Fitness!

Rock of Ages... Broadway NYC













This show rocks!!! We love, love, loved it!!! Although this electrifying show has been in New York City since 2008 (and before NYC it started in Los Angeles in 2005), we feel it still deserves a place on our BEST list because it is the BEST. Rock of Ages is a lighthearted and comedic, blow-up, blast-off, celebration of classic rock hits from the 1980s. The great rock music that we hope your kids will love it as much as you will because music has never been the same again. This jukebox musical showcases the glam metal bands of the 80s. Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Bon Jovi, Poison, Steve Perry and many more. This clever show took these mindblowing songs and made an entertaining arena-rock love story out of them.


Il Mulino Restaurant - NYC and Atlantic City







Il Mulino is the epitome of an Old New York Italian hangout. It’s the most authentic Italian restaurant we’ve eaten in, other than in Italy. This upscale restaurant has incredible food and a first-class reputation. We can understand why.From the minute you walk it, the experience is just as amazing as the food, it’s an event. Whether you’re out celebrating a special day, or just on a dinner date, the night will feel special. The dining room is elegantly old fashioned. Partial wallpaper, partial brick walls. The tables are covered with crisp white tablecloths, and the floor is covered in burgundy carpet.


Museum of Natural History...NYC

This has been one of my favorite, personal treasures from New York City since I was a small child. This awesome museum always mesmerized me. I walk inside and feel so nostalgic about life. The American Museum of Natural History is one of the world’s preeminent scientific and cultural institutions. Since its founding in 1869, the Museum has advanced its global mission to discover, interpret, and disseminate information about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe through a wide-ranging program of scientific research, education, and exhibition. The Museum is renowned for its exhibitions and scientific collections, which serve as a field guide to the entire planet and present a panorama of the world's cultures.

Aruba: Sunshine and Fun Year Round!



If you want an almost 100% guarantee of sunshine (and who doesn't), Aruba is the place for you. This small, tropical island will envelop you in brilliant sunshine and caressing heat all year round. It does rain, but not very often or for very long. Even with its average 82-degree temperature, the winds are predictable and constant, blowing through as if they were sent just to keep you cool and comfortable. In the summer months, the water is so calm that you can float on your raft and barely move around. This also makes it perfect for scuba diving and snorkeling, since there is very little rain to affect the visibility. In the winter months, when the winds are strongest, sailing and windsurfing are perfect water sports to partake in. Most of the rain comes October-December but even then you will still get plenty of sun.

40/40 Club -- New York City...


Imagine a wonderful restaurant in spectacular New York City. Imagine it also becoming one of the hottest nightclubs after dining hours. And to add a cherry on top of this spectacular sundae, imagine that it’s co-owned by one of the hottest rappers out there today, Jay-Z. Well, your imagination has now turned into a reality. The 40/40 Club is the reality. It’s a chain of sports bars and lounges. (FYI: 40/40 is the baseball term used to showcase the exclusive group of Major League Baseball players who have achieved the rare individual feat of recording 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in a single season.)

40/40 Club has a lot of everything… great food, playful atmosphere, and a unique décor. It offers 12,000 square feet of plush banquettes and leather booths, accessed for both dining options, and party options. No dinner tables here, just couches and bar stools/tables. Very cool. Sports action stampedes across four 165-inch video walls and thirty 55-inch flat-screen monitors. Sports memorabilia is scattered around the walls and includes autographed jerseys and other sporting goods that were donated by famous athletes and celebrities.

Plates of finger-licking wings subtly welcome you, and that’s just the beginning. (We loved the buffalo and BBQ – they have just the right amount of zing -- wow!) Gourmet sliders begin to excite your palate. Continue to indulge yourself with American-style food like colossal shrimp, braised beef short ribs (that literally fall off of their bone and are mouth watering), the shrimp appetizer (to die for), delish quesadillas, burgers are smothered in a sauce that you can’t even describe (it’s that good), their salads are light and flavorful (love the Arugula Salad with pears and subtly delicate flavors), the salmon and rice (spectacular) and as a side, tasty Cajun fries. Top it all off with their unique dessert…sweet potato donuts (sinful and different from any dessert we’ve had). Our server was fantastic and so sweet, incredibly attentive, catering to our every need.

Complement your meal with equally lavish libations. Their specialty cocktails (refreshing fruit-flavored vodkas, champage and so much more) will delight you. After dinner, when 40/40 turns into a nightclub, you can opt for bottle service and check out their fabulous VIP sections. Dance until the wee hours of the morning in their energy-ridden club. We love the fact that you can hang out and have some dinner or appetizers, chill out for a while and watch a good sporting event on tv, and then dance the night away, all at the same place. They really try to adhere to private club procedures with personalized and cordial service. You will feel special being there.

All in all, the drinks were all well made, and really tasty, the food portions were a good size, and delicious. The atmosphere was perfect and the upscale club makes for a great evening out. 40/40 Club should definitely be on your radar.

Grounds for Sculpture, Hamilton, NJ: New Jersey's Hidden Gem



If you love nature, and you love art, this is one place you want to visit because the combination of the two are magical. I honestly can't believe that I've lived in New Jersey my entire life and never heard about Grounds for Sculpture. First of all, this 42-acre park was designed and 'decorated' with the most gorgeous landscaping I've ever seen in a park. In addition to that, the 270 contemporary sculptures that are scattered about, but purposely placed, work with the landscaping to tell us stories. It's a theme park for adults where you can relax, be entertained, and absorb some culture.
