Largest Cruise Liner Invades South Florida

With the arrival this month of yet another mega yacht charter that could be more accurately described as a floating city in Fort Lauderdale, the winter cruise season is officially under way in South Florida, and there appears to be more choice than ever, and more ships than ever.  This monster could swallow a private yacht charter whole!  Yet nothing compares to your own personal staff.

Allure of the Seas Cruise Liner

The gigantic new offering from Royal Caribbean is called the “Allure of the Seas” and is the twin sister of the world’s largest passenger liner, the “Oasis of the Seas”, which blew everyone away on its debut last year with its size and scope and luxury.  I think the next designer who tries to trump this bad boy should add a full sized racetrack, so passengers can race luxury rental cars on the open Ocean!  Hey, a girl can dream.

Top 5 Chicago Steakhouses To Take a Date Where You Are Guaranteed to Score…

A Good Meal: Chicago’s Top 5 Steaks

Where is the best steak in Chicago?  This is a question that will be raised until the end of time and will never have a definitive answer until the end of time as well.  Everyone has their opinion on the matter and there are so many great options that even Imagine Lifestyles cannot come to an agreement on which is our favorite.  However, we will attempt to pick out five of our favorites and at least try and narrow down the choices for best steak in Chicago.

1. Erie Café
2. Smith and Wollensky
3. The Palm
4. David Burke Primehouse
5. Keefer’s


Erie Cafe Chicago

1.) Erie Café (536 W. Erie) If you are looking for a little different style of Chicago steakhouse this is the place for you.  Located far away from the noise and chaos of Rush Street the Erie Café is set off the beaten path in a residential neighborhood.  Once inside, there is nothing swanky either.  Erie Café is just an old school restaurant with amazing food.  Since 1995, Erie Café has been dishing out some of Chicago’s best steaks.  Not sure what to order, we recommend the T-bone with a side of Potatoes Erie.  Sometimes you may spot a exotic car or two some of which are from fleets of Chicago exotic rental car companies.

From Cuban Coffee to 200 Types of Beer-The Top 5 Miami Nightlife Hotspots

Miami’s nightlife is known worldwide for its extravagance, exclusiveness, and extreme excitement.  It is impossible to say exactly what the best hotspots are, as they are consistently shifting. 

Yes, much like Los Angeles, there seems to be a new “it” club weekly in the Miami nightlife scene.  Just like luxury rental cars, there is a desire to try the next best thing in the club scene, yet there are still Miami clubs that remain list-toppers through it all, like the following, who offer something for all tastes:

    •    The Wall at W Hotel South Beach
    •    LIV at Fontainebleau Hotel South Beach
    •    The Florida Room, Delano Hotel South Beach
    •    Abraxas South Beach
    •    Bongo’s Cuban Café, Owned by Gloria Estefan

Wall Lounge W Hotel South Beach

The Wall, W Hotel.  Located inside the new W Hotel South Beach luxury hotel, this steamy Miami nightclub is still a must on many a celeb’s list of faves.  Some of the best DJ’s from around the country provide pulse-racing entertainment for partygoers and guests of this Oceanfront luxury hotel.  Note that the majority of the music throbbing from the speakers is hip-hop, and while the attire is causal, the labels are definitely designer.  An exotic or luxury rental car is recommended for this see and be seen club, and prepare to be judged!

Chicago Dining Scene Scores With Michelin

Chicago Dining Scene Wins Praise   

Michelin recently released its latest red guide for Chicago and awarded 23 restaurants with at least 1 of its’ famed stars.  Michelin & Cie, the Paris based tire manufacturer, has been putting out this guide since the early 20th century.  Originally designed to encourage people to travel by car to eat at new restaurants, the guide is now recognized globally as one of the premier ways to judge the quality of top-notch dining. 

Chicago, along with New York and San Francisco, were the only U.S. cities to have a restaurant guide from Michelin.  The rankings are fairly basic, but keep in mind that 1 star from Michelin means you are better than over 99.9% of the restaurants that are also in each city.  To be awarded 1 star is no shame, and many highly acclaimed restaurants around the world will never obtain even a single star rank.  Now it is time for them to rank Imagine Lifestyles as the best of the best in Chicago luxury car rentals!!

25 Pittsburg Judges Lease Taxpayer-Funded Luxury Cars

A hot topic in luxury news seems to be the financial accountability and perks afforded to judges in Pittsburg.  Well, it is the home of the Steelers!  It seems exotic cars, luxury rental cars, luxury hotels and other lavish perks are enjoyed by 25 of the local judges, whereas 13 restrain themselves. 

2010 Cadillac Luxury Car

Chief Justice Ronald Castille is taking some heat for driving a spiffy 2010 Cadillac, one funded by the state.  This seems acceptable, its not like he is rolling out in a Lamborghini Gallardo rental Miami style twice a week.  Castille also attends dinners, pricey golf outings and a regular social meeting at a luxury hotel, without picking up the tab.  Isn’t this typical?  I am surprised at the public reaction to something that has been going on since the introduction of a monetary and government system.
