Make it extra memorable with a sprinter van limo in NYC there to help you focus on just having a grand time without worrying about how to get home.
In a four-part series we have titled How to Geek Out with a Sprinter Van Limo in NYC (see parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 here), we have pointed out places around the Big Apple where you could geek out. These are:

Visit its Park Row store for anything you need from houseware to computers to audio equipment.
And then there is B&H, which sells digital imaging, video, pro audio, and photo equipment and accessories. Visit its store at 420 Ninth Ave. in Manhattan.
Apple fans can get a treat from descending into the Apple Store, which is open at all hours of the day. You can just stay outside and gawk at the large glass cube outside. Or better yet, go down the glass elevator and have your fill of Apple products from the latest Macbook to the most recent release of the iPhone and iPad.
Remember, you can do some geek out with friends then go shopping for electronics and other stuff and still insert more things to do and places to visit when you hire a sprinter van limo in NYC.
