  • We Are America's Travel Industry, A
    The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House of Representatives United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 March 20, 2020 Dear Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and Leader McCarthy: We are America’s travel industry, an economic sector that directly employs 9 million American workers and supports a total of 15.8 million jobs. The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.

No matter when you visit, there’s sure Wto be something of interest going on. In this chapter, I list my choices for the best events, hotels, restaurants, attractions, shopping, culture, and nightlife. Whether you’re looking for a world-class hotel, exotic cuisine to enjoy, or the view from the Empire State building, I have no doubt you’ll soon compile your own “Best of” list . but here’s a good place to start! Best Events Best Parade: West Indian-American Day Carnival and Parade. Held on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, this is the biggest parade in New York. The music (calypso, soca, reggae, and Latin), the amazing costumes, and the incredibleCOPYRIGHTED Caribbean food make this an MATERIAL unforgettable experience. If you’re lucky enough to be in town on Labor Day, don’t miss it. See Chapter 3. Best Time of Year to Come to New York: Summer. Most people prefer the temperate days of fall to visit New York, and that’s when the city is most crowded; but my personal favorite season is summer, when the streets are empty, restaurants and shows are easier to get into, and countless free outdoor cultural events abound.

Personal Wtaste is a subjective matter, and I (Brian) only pay attention to raves, whether they are for a restaurant, artist, musician, or fi lm, if they are universal. If everyone likes it, it has to be good. Well, not always. Anyway, we’ve (Brian Silverman, Kelsy Chauvin and Richard Goodman) compiled our personal favorites below . for what we can call the “best of” in many areas from experiences to restaurants. You may not agree, but that’s what makes these “best of” lists fun.

No other monument embodies the nation’s—and the world’s— notion of political freedom and economic potential more than Lady Liberty. It is also the ultimate symbol of New York, the personifi cation of the city’s vast diversity and tolerance. And, as of July 4, 2009, you can once more ascend to the Lady’s crown, for the fi rst time since September 11, 2001.
