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.”

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.

WINSTON COMMUNICATIONS SIGNS MAJOR NEW CLIENT
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL: July 29, 2010 – Winston Communications today announced a major new addition to its client roster – NY SKYRIDE, one of the top ten attractions in New York City.
NY SKYRIDE recently hit the 7.5-million-visitor mark - an average of more than half-a-million visitors a year since it opened in 1996. The attraction is located in one of the biggest tourist draws in the world – the Empire State Building. And it takes visitors on the most unusual ride in New York City – up, up, and away, over the Big Apple, while never leaving the ground. It’s a virtual helicopter tour of the city, from the comfort of a seat on the second floor of the world’s most famous building. Visitors feel the sensation of flight, as they lift off and “fly” on an aerial tour of the world’s greatest city. The ride is narrated by actor Kevin Bacon, a New York City resident.
‘Winston Communications has a long and very successful history in the travel/tourism market,” said Steve Winston, President of the company. “For us, helping NY SKYRIDE tell its story is a natural extension of what we do. And it’s a very exciting addition to our client list – because it’s the only attraction of its kind.”
NY SKYRIDE is New York’s only virtual aerial simulator, and it’s one of only a few New York attractions that also serves 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.
Winston Communications is an award-winning public relations, marketing, and communications firm that has worked with organizations such as Citibank, American Airlines, Alamo Rent a Car, The Florida Panthers NHL Hockey Club, and The State of Florida. And it has regularly generated coverage of its clients in media such as CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX-TV, CNN, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, “Business Week,” “Forbes,” “Fortune,” USA Today, and The Associated Press. Steve Winston was named as one of the top twenty public relations executives in America by “PR Week.”
“Attendance figures show that we’re already one of the top ten attractions in New York,” said Matthew Day, Vice President of Business Development for NY SKYRIDE. “And now we’re going to really get our story out, with a partner that specializes in generating new business for its clients. We’re thrilled to hook up with Winston Communications.”
