Be a part of the Studio Audience…Live, Talk, Cooking, etc.  Have you ever been in the studio audience of one? Bucket list maybe? Let us tell you first hand, the experience is worth the “behind the scenes” journey.  And we are so fortunate in DELAWARE to live so close to New York City where attending a show is well, not such a long shot. You’ll have the opportunity to see celebrities up close and personal and who knows, if you’re lucky, maybe your friends will get to see YOU on TV. Once you get there, the line might be long but don’t be discouraged, smile BIG & BOLD(hint) and enjoy the experience.   Here’s a few shows in the big apple that you might want to consider. Perhaps a fun BFF trip or couples escapade – Let’s GO!

We landed front row seats to the David Letterman Show – they like happy, excited people(who doesn’t?) with guest stars Rihanna & Robert Pattinson amongst others. Needless to say, it was an incredible experience. ATtitude is eVeryThing! What’s more, we were astonished by the level of logistics that goes on behind the live scenes(during commercials – makeup, coffee, conversation, rhetoric, etc) – you’ll have a whole new appreciation for TALK and production!

TRAVEL TIPS:

Want the train with the drive cost? There’s a great suggestion into NYC that can combine the beauty of the train within your driving budget. Head to Hamilton Station located at 800 Sloan Ave in Hamilton,  New Jersey and take the light rail in to New York’s Penn Station. To Hamilton Station – we recommend driving  I-295 North – skip the tolls of the NJ turnpike | a little over an hour drive – exit at Sloan Avenue, park and take the New Jersey Transit into the city – about an hour rail ride.  At $15 per Adult one way – you can’t beat the cost and the non-hassle of traffic and parking in the city. And what’s even better,  the transit leaves about every 20 minutes to and from the City. For more information or to plan your trip, visit www.njtransit.com.
