Broadway is a street that crosses Manhattan, but when people say Broadway they usually mean the strip that runs through the Theater District. There are over 40 theaters in the area, but few are as historic as the original Broadway Theatre. Although it first opened in 1926 as a film house, Broadway Theatre has been operating as a stage for live shows since the 1940s. Its size (1765 seats) makes it perfect for hit musicals. The performers of Evita, Les Miserables, Fiddler on the Roof, and the Color Purple have all called the Broadway Theatre home. Broadway is highly regarded as one of the most world’s important destinations for theater-lovers. Today, you’ll find celebrities like Meryl Streep and Kerry Washington gracing its stages. Choose a show, check out a group tickets website for deals (we recommend Broadway Inbound), then charter a NYC bus rental for your next Broadway trip.

Beverly Hills
In addition to being the home to many Hollywood actors and actresses, Beverly Hills is also home to loads of upscale shopping along Rodeo Drive. Despite its worldwide reputation, Beverly Hills is actually a relatively small town. It boasts a total regular population right around 35,000. But Beverly Hills is not just a place. It has also become an international symbol of fame, wealth, and the entertainment industry. The Beverly Hills neighborhood is divided into north and south sections by Santa Monica Boulevard. Pacific Electric once operated streetcars along their Red Line on Santa Monica, which is why locals still refer to the divided sections of the neighborhood as either “north of the tracks” or “south of the tracks”. Downtown Beverly Hills, which is also known as “The Golden Triangle,” is home to Rodeo Drive, the city’s farmers market, the public library, and much more.

San Francisco Botanical Garden
Between 1870 and 1876 William Hammond Hall, an army-trained engineer, surveyed the site, created the preliminary designs, and stabilized the sand dunes of the park to set the foundation for the first 60,000 trees he planted. Finally, in 1926 the San Francisco Botanical Garden became a reality. Helene Strybing provided the funds to establish an arboretum and garden in Golden Gate Park. Ground was broken in the 1930s. The garden went on to provide jobs for unemployed workers during the Great Depression. In 2015 the garden celebrated its 75th Anniversary through a community celebration. On Christmas Day in 2017, the garden received a record breaking amount of visitors. 10,689 people came in a single day. In the summertime, kids entering kindergarten through 3rd grade can attend an all-outdoors day camp at the Botanical Gardens called Garden Camp.
