"Naked" Polar Bear Cruise to Benefit The WCS
Well, they won’t really be naked, but some brave souls will be wearing just their bathing suits on a Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise on Saturday, February 27, 2010 to help raise money for the Wildlife Conservation Society. If you’re brave enough to strip down for wildlife, you can cruise for free (you’re encouraged to solicit donations for WCS or make one yourself), but if you’d rather experience this event fully clothed, tickets are only $20. You can register, donate or buy spectator tickets online.

Thinking of Popping The Question in New York City?
I’m always happy when New York City makes “best of” lists. Budget Travel‘s recent round-up of 10 Engaging Spots for Popping The Question includes New York City’s Central Park alongside other classic choices like La Basilique du Sacre-Coeur in Paris and Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence.
Of course, Central Park has many romantic spots; the Central Park Conservancy recently polled visitors about what they believed was the most romantic spot in Central Park. Bow Bridge was chosen as the most romantic spot in Central Park, which is not surprising considering how many people propose or get married there every year. If you’re in the mood for more Central Park romance, you can read many of the romantic stories about Central Park’s Bow Bridge that voters shared.
