  • 2016 Grammy’s Goes Out With a Bang!

    2016-grammy-imageThe Grammy’s is the time of year where the hard working artists get their recognition for all of the time and effort that they put into their talent. Though everyone will continue to have their own opinion of who deserves what award, the fact of the matter is everyone will not always be happy. Of course this three-hour recognition show would not be complete with a little drama mixed in.

    Drama Stirs at the Grammys!

    kendrick-lamarReports show that Rihanna and a surprise star Lauren Hill were listed as performances but backed out at the last minute. Luckily Kendrick Lamar was there to keep the fans entertained with his three act performance despite not being able to take home the Album of the Year Award. He performed to Blacker the Berry” and “Alright,” an anthem for the Black Lives Matter movement.

    Later on in the night, Bonnie Raitt, Chris Stapleton and Gary Clark Jr. paid tribute to BB King with a spot-on performance of “The Thrill Is Gone” and Tori Kelly and James Bay had us dreaming of future collaborations with their mashup of “Hollow” and “Let It Go.” You know it was a rough night when singer Adele, with an almost perfect track record, struggles to perform due to technical and/or vocal issues.

    The Show Must Go On!

    And of course lets not forget the ongoing feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West which Swift addressed during her acceptance of the Album of the Year by stating:

    “I want to say to all the young women out there—there are going to be people along the way who are going to try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame,” taylor-swift-imageSwift noted as her voice sounded shaky and strained. “But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you’re going, you’ll look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be greatest feeling in the world.” This was reported to be brought on by the rappers previously released song where he directed lyrics to singer Taylor Swift by saying he was the one that made her famous.

    And The Winners Are……..

    Enough with the drama! Lets recap all of the well deserving winners of the night!

    1. Record of the Year
      1. Uptown Funk-Mark Ronson Featuring Bruno Mars
    2.  Album of the Year
      1.  1989-Taylor Swift

  • New York Limousine And Taxi Services Required To Add A 30-Cent Surcharge To Aid Handicapped

    New York Taxi Limousine Surcharge image

    Wheelchair Accessible Yellow Taxis and Limousines In New York

    The Taxi & Limousine Commission Board has decided to add a 30-cent surcharge on all metered yellow and green cab fares starting next January. The money will be immediately put in a fund to help yellow cab owners make their vehicles wheelchair-accessible. The unanimous vote made quite an emotional response from the wheelchair-using New Yorkers. They share their intimate and even heart breaking testimonials on their personal difficulties when traveling around the city:

    New York Daily News Quote:

    “I dream of a world where it’s 100% accessible and we have cabs just like anyone else,” said Jason DaSilva, a Brooklyn filmmaker who suffers from multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair.

    What This Means For All Taxi & Limousine Riders In New York

    NYC Limo and Taxi Service photo

    It is time to pay up! However, 30-cent to help your fellow New Yorkers is not going to break the bank. It will and can help your fellow New Yorkers that can’t keep up with the city’s fast paced environment. Traveling within NYC can get a little crazy and expensive. Renting an affordable private car service may be the trick. Whether the car comes from Connecticut and brings you to the city or vice versa. Transportation throughout CT and the Tristate areas can get a little tricky even for the non-handicapped and Limousines Of Connecticut can help. Get some quotes and tips from the team at 203-344-0066 and see what can happen. It may not be as expensive or as complicated as you suspect!
