CENTRAL PARK BIKE TOURS INTRODUCES “FALL FOLIAGE TOUR”
New York, NY: October 21, 2010 – Central Park Bike Tours (www.centralparkbiketours.com) today announced a special new tour of Central Park during Fall Foliage season. The Fall Foliage Bike Tour will take visitors to spots bursting with brilliant colors, in America’s most famous urban oasis.
“If you’ve never seen Central Park in Autumn, you’ve never really seen Central Park,” says Tom Ahern, owner of Central Park Bike Tours. “And, for some wonderful reason, the foliage seems to linger here more than it does in most other places in the region…generally into late-November.”
Central Park Bike Tours will be running its Fall Foliage Tours at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 4 p.m. through October, and 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. through November. Guests on these tours will get a bird’s-eye view of hundreds of different types of trees, ranging from American Elms to Black Cherries to Red Cedar and Carolina Silverbells. And among the hundreds of once-a-year colors riders will see will be burnt oranges, flaming reds, bright yellows, deep purples, and rust-orange.
Central Park Bike Tours is one of the city’s leading tour companies, leading guided tours into nooks and crannies and special places in Central Park that even many New Yorkers don’t know about. Customers pedal past beautiful meadows and old bridges and rarefied museums and horse-drawn carriages, and landmarks such as Strawberry Fields, the John Lennon International Peace Garden, the Wollman Skating Rink, and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. In addition, the company also offers tours of special New York neighborhoods such as Harlem, Brooklyn, Times Square, and Little Italy. And customers can also rent bikes, to explore this bike-friendly city on their own.
“It’s a very special time of year,” says Tom Ahern. “And we wanted to offer a very special tour to take advantage of it.”

ZIP AVIATION ANNOUNCES NEW ALLIANCE WITH MANHATTAN HELICOPTERS
NEW YORK, NY: October 13, 2010 – Zip Aviation LLC today announced a new strategic alliance with Manhattan Helicopters LLC, which will bring a bevy of benefits to customers of both helicopter-tour companies.
The new strategic alliance was formed to enhance the range of services and tours available, and to provide a one-of-a-kind sightseeing experience for New York City visitors. For customers of the two fleets, the advantages will be evident immediately – industry-leading liability coverage, a wider availability of innovative tours, greater booking flexibility/added availability of times, and two companies known for the best customer-service in the industry.
Zip Aviation and Manhattan Helicopters will now be able to offer a combined fleet of nine helicopters, with some of the most technologically-advanced and luxurious craft in the air. The total includes two brand-new Bell 407s, considered one of the safest helicopters in the world; a Eurocopter AS350B3, a high-performance aircraft with the distinction of being the only helicopter ever to land on Mount Everest; and an MD600N, the quietest helicopter in the world.
“We think it offers the best of all worlds to our customers,” says Itai Shoshani, owner of Zip Aviation. “Two industry-leaders, combining their strengths to increase their range of offerings, and to enhance the customer-experience. It’s a win-win situation for both of us – and the customer.”
Zip Aviation (www.zipover.com) takes guests on a variety of helicopter tours around New York City, ranging from the “Liberty Island” tour to the memorable “Over the Top” and “Grand Island” tours. New York stretches out from horizon to horizon and side to side before the aircraft, with an incomparable view of the world’s most exciting city, its greatest skyline, and one of its busiest harbors. In addition to the sightseeing tours, Zip Aviation specializes in discreet charters (often for celebrities or international dignitaries) and aerial photography, along with executive and special-event transportation.
“We want to be the type of company that’s always focused on improving the customer-experience,” Shoshani said. “And this alliance will help us achieve that.”

NY SKYRIDE ANNOUNCES NEW COMMUNITY INITIATIVE - "SCHOOL OF THE MONTH"

NY SKYRIDE ANNOUNCES NEW COMMUNITY INITIATIVE –
“SCHOOL OF THE MONTH”
NEW YORK, NY: October 5, 2010 – NY SKYRIDE has just announced a new city-wide program to reach out to the local community – and to reward local schools whose students are performing well.
The new program will be called “School of the Month,” and it will reward students in New York City schools that are improving their academic status – a lot of students. NY SKYRIDE, a virtual tour over New York City’s landmarks and neighborhoods, will be hosting hundreds of students every month – for free. And these students will get to see one of those famous landmarks first-hand - because NY SKYRIDE is located on the second floor of the Empire State Building.
According to attendance figures, NY SKYRIDE is one of the top ten attractions in New York City, and it has hosted nearly 8 million visitors since its opening in 1996.
“We really want to do something special for this city,” says Matthew Day, Vice President of Business Development for NY SKYRIDE. “These days, with all that’s going on in the economy and in the world, we believe strongly in being good corporate citizens. So we’ll be hosting hundreds of children from the winning school each month…at no charge.”
NY SKYRIDE is New York’s only virtual aerial simulator, and it’s one of only a few New York attractions that also serve as a tourist guide to the city. This “aerial” swing over the streets of the Big Apple utilizes digital technology, moving platforms, and an 18-foot-screen. It’s a big draw for foreign and out-of-town visitors, as well as for local residents. And corporate, civic, and student groups can get special rates.
“In establishing the ‘School of the Month’ program, we’d like to feel that we’re helping these kids learn more about the city in which they live,” says Day. “A virtual helicopter ride over the neighborhoods and landmarks of New York allows them to view their hometown from a perspective they never had before.”
New York City schools interested in being considered for “School of the Month” should contact Renee Wilson at 212-299-4904 to participate.
