St. Patrick's Day Parade marches in

Thousands will gather this St. Patrick's Day to honor the Patron Saint of Ireland at the 247th New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade.

On March 17, the parade will once again make its way along Fifth Avenue from 44th to 86th street, passing the iconic St. Patrick's Cathedral, where Cardinal Edward Eagan, Archbishop of New York will review the parade.

The parade begins at 11 am. on March 17, and be sure to arrive early to find a good spot along the route. Many streets along the way will likely be closed, so be sure to contact NYC Limo, who can provide you with convenient transportation to and from the event.

After the parade, why not stop by at a nearby Irish pub to continue the celebration. Visit www.citysearch.com for ideas.

The eccentric Tim Burton now at MoMA

A special exhibit on Tim Burton, the eccentric mind behind the new Alice in Wonderland, is occurring at the Museum of Modern Art through April 26.

Visitors can also view some of Burton's personal projects as well as a complete retrospective of Burton's theatrical features and shorts.

The Museum of Modern Art advises those interested in seeing the exhibition to purchase special timed tickets at no extra cost to guarantee entrance. Click here to learn more.

A new look at fashion

New York City is in fashion this week, with with 100s of designers debuting their latest threads in Bryant Park. If you can't get in the tents, though, don't worry, a fashion exhibit for all is available at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Through April, American Beauty: Aesthetics and Innovation in Fashion at the FIT museum explores the "philosophy of beauty" and examines how technical construction comes together with creativity to build a unique look. The exhibit features the works from designers from the late 1910s to the rising stars of the today's fashion industry.


"The garments in American Beauty are connected by one overriding criterion: They have all been created by designers who utilized the craft of dressmaking as the point of departure to create beautiful, wearable objects," said Patricia Mears, deputy director of The Museum at FIT. "This focus on construction further illustrates that each designer's method of attaining innovative shapes and forms could only have come about because craft was the central focus of the creative process. While this exhibition most definitely is not a retrospective, the range of clothing types included in American Beauty is comprehensive in that it includes both high- and low-priced fashion from the past 100 years of American fashion."

Check out more of American Beauty at the online exhibition.
