The holidays are coming, and it’s the right time to plan some really good quality time with the family.  Instead of going into NYC to get some culture, you can take the entire family, kids and all, to see Sleeping Beauty put on by the Livingston-based New Jersey Ballet Company right around home.

This production of Sleeping Beauty is produced with families in mind, and most of this ballet company’s productions of this type really delight the kids.  At $17 per ticket, it surely will delight your wallet as well!

During the rest of the year, there might be times that you need to find the right space to book an event for a meeting, seminar, etc.  Whether it’s for 20 people or 200 people and beyond, there’s a couple of resources that help you find the right space for your event.

Venfino.com is a neat site where you can submit the requirements of your event, even budget and then the site filters the ones that meet your criteria.  Don’t forget to look at non-traditional spaces like studios which can be set-up to accomodate different tables/chairs configurations, even if you dont’ normally associate the type of space with what you’re planning.  Once you open up the possibilities, the rates can be surprisingly affordable!
