For the fun loving thrill seeker New York City is one giant playground. Whether you are into extreme sports, extreme movies, or simply watching others go to extremes you should get a healthy dose of it all in this great city. From reading to gaming and extreme sports and every extremity in between you have come to the right city to fill all of your extreme needs in entertainment and art.
Web2Zone Cyber Center has all of your extreme gaming and computing needs. They offer regular tournaments for the serious games while also offering simple Internet access for those who'd like to socialize while they spend time in cyber space. They are not your typical Internet Café. Not only do they offer a place to log in, they also offer one of the fastest Internet connections around. They do not offer wireless service but will be glad to loan you an Ethernet card or port for your laptop with proper collateral. For the gamers, events and tournaments are hosted regularly and plenty of opportunities abound to flex your gaming muscles.
For those of you looking for cooler extreme entertainment, how about checking out the Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers? This is a great way to keep things cool any time of the year while getting the great kind of workout you won't find in a traditional gym. This is definitely worth checking out and while you are here you can check out all of the other great things that Chelsea Piers has to offer its visitors. Among those neat things are bowling, the golf club, the field house, and the Spa. This is definitely a great place to spend the day in order to work out any excess energy you may have or to get your blood pumping and your day off to a fabulous start.
If you like the feeling of wind in your hair then perhaps a trip by ferry will fill that need. Really you don't need a specific destination in order to take a ride on the Ferry and enjoy the scenery. You can also elect to take specific tours on your ferry ride; check to see what's available during you stay and you might even find that you can combine two great activities with one trip. There are many different cruises available some last ninety minutes and take place during the day and others offer a view of the city at night as your spend two hours enjoying mixed drinks and city lights.
If the ferry ride doesn't fill your need for the wind in your hair, then perhaps you should stroll on over to Coney Island (strolling might not be the best option but get there somehow) and check out Astroland Amusements Park's The Cyclone. This ride is super intense and often replicated but never quite duplicated. This ride is famous around the world and should satisfy even the biggest roller coaster geek and/or adrenaline junkie out there. Skeptical? The only way you'll ever know is to see for yourself. Of course there are other things that this park has to offer those who seek smaller, less intense thrills as well.
There is so much to see and do in New York City that it's a good idea to save money on accommodation by staying in one of those nice nice and cheap New York hostels. NYC on a bugdet? It's not as impossible as you may think!
It really doesn't matter what specific thrills you seek, being in New York City, enjoying the smells, the sights, and the sounds are enough for many adrenaline junkies and many find that being in this city is like being nowhere else on earth. Take the time to see what activities you might find interesting and go for it. Seize the moments you have in this city and enjoy every activity you try during your visit. The purpose of a vacation is both to have fun and to relax. Be sure you don't spend the entire time seeking one adrenaline high after another or you'll find yourself needing a vacation in order to recover from your vacation. Seriously, with all the fun there is to be had most people forget the importance of scheduling some down time during their vacations, don't let this happen to you.

Buenos Aires: cosmopolitan city
Buenos Aires is dynamic and has an open-minded personality. It is the perfect city to relax in, stroll around and enjoy. Buenos Aires has its own way of life which makes it unique.
Mix together a beautiful European-like city with attractive residents (call them porteños), gourmet cuisine, awesome shopping, a frenzied nightlife and top-drawer activities, and you get Buenos Aires, a cosmopolitan metropolis with both slick neighborhoods and equally downtrodden areas – but that’s part of the appeal. It’s an elegant, seductive place with a ragged edge, laced with old-world languor and yet full of contemporary attitude. BA is somehow strangely familiar, but unlike any other city in the world.
I've been to Buenos Aires twice: first time I choose to book a room in one of the nicest boutique hotels Buenos Aires, and the second time I found an amazing flat where I stayed for 2 weeks. I have to warn you guys, there are many options when it comes down to furnished apartments in Buenos Aires, but don't let them overcharge you!
In between cutting-edge designer boutiques, ritzy neighborhoods and grand parks are unkempt streets full of spewing buses and bustling fervor. Seek out classic BA: the old-world cafés, colonial architecture, fun outdoor markets and diverse communities. Rub shoulders with the formerly rich and famous in Recoleta’s cemetery, making sure to sidestep the ubiquitous dog piles on the sidewalks. Fill your belly at a parrilla (steak restaurant), then spend the night partying away in Palermo Viejo’s trendiest dance club.

Top 10 Beaches in Latin America
Much of Latin America falls in the tropics making beach season last almost year round. From the legendary beaches of Brazil to the lesser known waters in Colombia and Venezuela, Latin America has a spicy tropical vibe that few can resist. While luxury resorts are popping up all over Costa Rica and Honduras and attracting tourists from all over the world, other places are only seeing a few local beachgoers and the occasional backpacker. Pristine palm fringed beaches with clear waters are everywhere in this region.
- Parque Nacional Tayrona, Colombia As security in Colombia has returned to safe levels, stretches of pristine coast like this one are beginning to pop up on everyone's itinerary. Crystal clear water backed by lush forest makes this the most idyllic beach in Colombia.
- Mar del Plata, Argentina Not just for the wealthy, Mar del Plata is an affordable trip for all! Don't miss the marine reservation and park and the different shows available during summer: actors, models, celebrities, and jet setters love showing their skills to the public. Hotels, furnished apartments and cabins available for all, visit BeArgentina Alojamiento en Mar del Plata.
- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Carnaval or not, Ipanema, Copacabana and Rio's other beaches are Brazil's party central. The vibrant city and lush green mountains paired with tiny bikinis, free flowing Cachaça, dancing, and perfect sands make this one of the world's legendary beach cities.
- Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica A monkey filled national park and rocky cliffs and coves make this one of the best beaches on Costa Rica's Pacific coast.
- Máncora, Peru Peru's best beach sits in the very northern corner of the country near the border with Ecuador. Try the idyllic Las Pocitas Beach for sunbathing or the public beach for surfing and partying.
- San Blas Islands, Panama The shallow, clear, coral filled Caribbean waters of the San Blas archipelago are one of the rare places in the world where you can mingle with an indigenous culture and stay at posh over water bungalows. The 365 tiny islets are mostly deserted, while the Kuna Yala Indians maintain just a few.
- Los Roques, Venezuela Although Isla Margarita is nice, the beaches on Venezuela's Los Roques archipelago are even better. These tiny islets are mostly deserted, have crystal clear water, as well as great fishing and diving.
- Manzanillo, Costa Rica Rasta attitudes fill the air at this funky backpacker and nature lover's hamlet on Costa Rica's coast near the Panama border. Wander through Manzanillo National Park for the most unspoiled sands.
- Tela, Honduras In the next decade Tela Bay is expected to become the next Cancun with dozens of mega resorts possibly arriving. For now, though you'll find miles and miles of empty beaches and just a few friendly Garifuna villages.
- Montañita, Ecuador Just below the equator is this long time South American party town and surf hangout. Desert and mangrove forests line these lively white sand beaches.
