What to do with your Teen in NYC this Summer

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
  1. Hit up RiverFlicks 2009. See Movies on Wednesdays & Fridays in July & August on Hudson River Piers. Movies begin at sundown (about 8-8:30 p.m.) Free popcorn is available, beverages and other snacks are available for purchase. There is a limited amount of seating available.
  2. Take the Gossip Girl Tour or New York TV & Movie Sites Tour. GGirl fans will love seeing sites like Blair’s apartment, Constance Billard School for Girls, Bendel’s, and more. Not a GG fan? The TV & Movie Sites Tour visits locations from tons of tv shows and movies, like Ghostbusters, Friends, Spider Man, Enchanted, Ugly Betty, and more!
  3. Check out Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum. Get up close and personal with your favorite personalities. From President Obama to the Jonas Brothers, spend the day with celebs.
  4. Take the Teen Fashion & Fun Tour from Shop NYC Tours. Shop in the shoes of your favorite teen celebrities! Get the inside teen fashion scoop while shopping from Fifth Avenue stores to boutiques in the West Village (where you might even spot one of your favorite celebs).
  5. Take the (free) Ferry to Ikea. Even if you don’t go in the Swedish megastore, the free ferry ride gives you a great view of Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Statue of Liberty. The ferries depart from the South Street Seaport, which also has shopping and restaurants to entertain both you and your teen.
  6. Take a Pizza Tour from Scott’s Pizza Tours. On foot or by bus, taste the best pizza New York has to offer, including some of NYC’s best kept pizza secrets!
  7. Hit up Dylan’s Candy Bar. With 3 floors of candy, chocolate, and ice cream, it’s sure to keep you entertained… and to give you enough of a sugar buzz to get through the rest of your day.
  8. Check out the Michael Jackson commemorative exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex. Open daily at 11am, you can easily spend half a day at the Annex. Their fabulous John Lennon exhibit is also running all summer.
  9. Visit “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition” at the Discovery Times Square Exposition. Peek at more than forty never-before-seen artifacts from the shipwreck and wander through recreated rooms from the ship.
  10. Grab a burger at The Shake Shack. The line is always long for burgers, fries, and shakes at this Madison Square Park fixture, but it provides the perfect opportunity to people watch and enjoy the outdoors… and, of course, each other’s company.

Are Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick Dunzo?

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Say it ain’t so, Page Six!

ARE things going south for “Gossip Girl” co-stars Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick? A source says Westwick was a no-show at a party Szohr hosted at Shrine in the MGM Grand at Foxwoods on Saturday. “He was supposed to join her, but he didn’t,” said our spy. “Word was they were fighting.” Westwick’s rep had no comment. Meanwhile, the other “GG” couple, Blake Lively and Penn Badgley, were spotted holding hands at the Blue Nile smoke shop in the Village where a spy said, “They just bought a candle.”

According to Page Six

BILLIONAIRE Pete Peterson is said to be “mortified” over the sneering performance of his grandson PC on Bravo’s “NYC Prep.” “Pete is really upset,” a friend said. PC — whose official bio says, “Money, women and life’s spoils are all he’s ever known” — is seen bragging and picking on younger kids. The insider added, “He was kicked out of several schools and the family cut him off at one point. He’s doing this show to get an acting career.” Good Luck!
