The Arlington Club has hit the streets of the Upper East Side and is taking diners by storm! With celebrated chef, Laurent Tourandel, at the helm and in the kitchen, The Arlington Club is THE hotspot for locales and travelers alike. It’s no wonder because the restaurant is offering up everything from succulent steak to savory sushi, pleasing the most particular of taste buds. Signature items include the 28-day, dry-aged Cote de Boeuf for two. Just divine! Classic favorites we love are clam’s casino and filet mignon carpaccio…short ribs and pickled jalapeño crispy kobe beef & truffle and spicy tuna osaka style. CityBuzz host, Raina Seitel, got a chance to try the cuisine as she dined with none other than her friend and uber chef, Laurent Tourondel.

Iwo Jima Memorial: The Picture Comes to Life
Leave a reply
Memorials can get repetitive at times. Sometimes, it feels like when you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. This is not the case with the Iwo Jima Memorial. Modeled after the famous photo of six soldiers raising the American flag during the Battle of Iwo Jima in WWII, this huge memorial is a sight to behold.
Also known as the United States Marine Corps War Memorial, the place is dedicated to all the U.S. marines who have given their lives since 1775. The 32-foot-high figures are shown erecting a 60-foot bronze flagpole from which a cloth flag flies 24 hours every day. The faces were modeled in clay after the three surviving soldiers who raised the flag in the photo. Overall, the memorial is 78 feet high. In fact, the canteens in the statue can hold 32 quarts of water.
Seeing the memorable Iwo Jima photo as a large, three-dimensional representation, the sight is truly spectacular. If you go at night, the scene is very powerful. This is one statue that will not seem repetitive and plain.

our team to victory at the 74th Annual AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. Oklahoma State University will go head to head with the Ole Mississippi Rebels at this year’s Cotton Bowl Classic. The first classic was envisioned by the late J. Curtis Sanford, a Dallas oilman and business executive, and the first of many games was held at the Fair Park’s Cotton Bowl Stadium. But this year they’re upgrading with the recently finished Cowboys Stadium hosting the classic game for the first time.
The Cotton Bowl halftime show will star the Rebel Band and the Cowboy Band, as well as a finale that will include 11 high school Marching Bands from across the country, and the world famous Kilgore College Rangerettes, who are making their 60th consecutive visit to the Cotton Bowl.
Get your tickets early, because the stadium will be packed with excited Cowboys, and ruthless Rebel fans.
