Having Fun on a New York Limo Party Night

In NYC, limo parties are the new black. New York limousine companies, taking off from the popularity of party buses around the country, have caught onto the trend and started pressing their other luxury cars into service as rolling party venues. Of course, just rolling around in a luxury limo, sipping drinks and kicking back is only the start of the party. If you’re looking for an unusual, trendy idea for a holiday party, why not try one of these fun ideas for a New York limo party night.

Progressive Limo Dinner

Progressive dinners are fun, and they’re even more fun when you coast from one course to the next in a luxury NY limo outfitted with your comfort and convenience in mind. If you’ve never been to one, a progressive dinner is a meal where you eat each course at a different venue. Typically, the party starts at one host’s home, where everyone has appetizers, then moves to the next home to have soup and salad, and so on. That gives hosts a chance to show off their best dishes, but it puts some restrictions on the party – for example, all the houses must be close to each other. Why not put a luxurious spin on the old fashioned progressive dinner by turning it into a restaurant-hopping night of fun? Hire a limo for the night, give the program to the driver, and head on out to enjoy a different course at each of your favorite restaurants. Between courses, enjoy a glass of wine or a palate cleanser in the limo, and tally up your favorite courses at the end of the night.

Holiday Festival of Lights

Enjoy the holiday lights in style by booking a New York limo for a Festival of Lights tour. You can book a limo with an NY limo service that offers holiday lights tours, or design your own tour to go through your favorite neighborhoods. Book a luxury car for a family night out, or a luxury stretch SUV for a group of friends – or, if you’re really in a holiday mood, hire a party bus and let the whole neighborhood pitch in for the fee and get in on the fun.

A Day of Relaxation

Get the girls together for a day off from the shopping and hectic planning of the holidays. Book a luxury New York limo as part of an all-day spa-and-lunch get-together with your best gal pals. The limo can pick everyone up at home, transport you to the spa and then to an afternoon tea at the Ritz before delivering everyone safely home in pure comfort and luxury.

Many New York limo services offer other versions of holiday entertaining ideas. If you’re looking for a stand-out party idea this holiday season, why not pick up the phone and call a New York limousine rental company and ask them what they’ve got on offer?

Holiday Gift Dilemmas? New York Limo Service to the Rescue

Holiday gifts from a New York limo service? If you think of limousines as a way to get from one place to another, take you to the airport or provide transportation for your wedding day, a New York luxury car service is probably not on the list of places to shop for a holiday gift. The fact is, though, you can put together some very nice holiday gifts when you work with an NY limo service.

Every year, you have special people on your holiday gift list who are nearly impossible to buy for. They may already have everything they need and really don’t want anything. They may be impossibly picky and difficult to please. If you have any of the following people on your holiday gift list, these suggestions will help you wow them with a gift they’ll never forget.

The Happy Couple

Whether they’re your best friends or your darling daughter and her new husband, the happy couple have everything they need for their home, and really, you can only give them a “Coffee of the Month” club membership so many years in a row. Instead of the boring gift certificate for dinner at a fancy restaurant, spend about the same amount of money and hire a limousine and driver for a romantic four-hour drive. Many New York limo companies will even team up with a caterer to provide snacks or hors d’oeuvres for the trip.

Your Sweet Sixteen Daughter

Want to really shine in your teen daughter’s eyes? Book a day at the spa for her and her two best friends, complete with transportation back and forth in a luxury limousine. She and her friends will have a memorable, fun day of relaxation, and you’ll get to shine as the coolest daddy on the block.

A Valued Employee

Need something extra special for your top-selling salesman or the executive assistant whose work makes you look great every day of the year? How about dinner and a show in town for your employee and a date – including door to door transportation in a luxurious limousine? It’s a great way to tell a valued employee you think he or she is a rock star.

The Christmas Raffle Winner

Need a very special prize for a fund-raising raffle? Ring up a New York limousine service and talk to them about booking a night on the town for the winners – or a ride to work for a month. A regularly scheduled one-way trip into town can be surprisingly affordable – and is bound to pull in some serious money in a charity auction or raffle.

Be creative when coming up with holiday gifts. Think outside the box and consider the ways that a New York limo service can provide that extra special something to your holiday gifts this year.
