Reston Limousine Day Trips
With spring just around the corner, Reston Limousine is resuming our Atlantic City and Charlottesville day trips this month!
Atlantic City: Saturday, March 13th
Come with us to Atlantic City! We’ll get you there and back in a safe, comfortable minibus. All you need to do is bring your wallet and a little luck. We will drop you right at the Tropicana Casino and Resort and hand you $15 for the casino. If gambling is not your scene, check out one of the various restaurants – from Chinese to Mexican to upscale American, you’ll find something to wet your taste buds. As our guest, you are welcome to bring a thermos, smaller cooler or a few snacks for the ride. If you want a taste of the luck of the Irish, RiRa Irish Pub in The Quarter will feature a line up of entertainment from noon to 2 a.m.
Charlottesville: Saturday, March 20th
Relax and enjoy a trip to two Charlottesville-area wineries in a comfortable minibus. As our guest, you are welcome to bring a thermos, small cooler or a few snacks for the ride. Following the wineries, you’ll have the chance to visit Downtown Charlottesville, which will be flush with Virginia Festival of the Book activities that day, including appearances by mystery authors and sessions for budding writers at the Omni Hotel. For more information about the festival, please visit the festival Web site at www.vabook.org. For a cool map of downtown Charlottesville, check out Discovery Maps.
And of course, our perennial favorite — New York City day trip on Sunday, March 28th
It’s not too late to celebrate the lunar new year, and you can join the Big Apple’s celebration via Asia Week, the first-ever coordinated effort between New York City galleries, museums, art dealers and auction houses to devote a week to awareness and discussion of Asian art, the Asia Society-sponsored Asia Week will feature special events and exhibitions taking place at a variety of locations around the City. On March 28th, take in a guided tour and lecture at the Museum of Chinese in America. For more information on Asia Week, visit www.asiaweeknewyork.org.The bus also makes stops at Central Park and Times Square, so you’ll have a host of other opportunities to celebrate spring in the City!

Destinations: New York City’s Chinatown
If you want a taste of the exotic without leaving the country, Reston Limousine can take you straight to China – as in New York City’s historic Chinatown.
It’s the perfect mini-vacation: Catch our bus in McLean and ride in air-conditioned comfort all the way to the Big Apple. You’ll arrive just in time for lunch at one of the best foodie areas in the city, where more than 200 restaurants offer an array of dining experiences.
Not sure where to start? If you’re already there, the best place to begin would be the information kiosk on Canal at the intersection of Walker and Baxter. Open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Daily, the kiosk provides free maps, guides and brochures to help you explore Chinatown.
Of course, it’s always best to do your research in advance; following are some helpful online articles and Web sites to get you started:
