What is your favorite part of your job?  Before I introduce our company to other companies, I have to find out exactly what they do and as much as I can about how they do it.  I really enjoy the education that provides.  Especially when I discover a product or service I have never heard of before.

Share some of your hobbies. Scuba, snorkeling, free diving, SUP, boating, surfing, kitesurfing, spearfishing, fishing, and crabbing.

Concorde Worldwide added Chrysler 300s to our luxury fleet. A sudden newcomer to the livery vehicle market, the  Chrysler 300 is becoming one of the top successors to the Lincoln Town Car L-Series. Lincoln ceased production in 2011, leaving ground transportation companies exploring multiple options as its replacement. When weighing the crossover alternative, there was still a small percentage of clients who prefer a luxury sedan. After numerous test-drives and evaluations, Concorde owner’s Robert Bellagamba and Jeff Bellagamba decided it would make a great addition to their fleet.

The classic design has been redefined; giving Chrysler a distinctive, confident look unlike any other vehicle. With its black exterior and leather interior, it gives way to luxury and comfort. Concorde Worldwide has received favorable client feedback says Shady Azer, Vice President of Operations, hearing remarks such as “The ride was smooth, interior comfortable, and there is ample room in the backseat.”

In March 2011, the company introduced the Ford Flex into the sedan-class of vehicles. Their fleet consists of sedans, limousines, SUVs, Mercedes-Benz executive vans and limousines, passengers vans, luxury minibuses and motor coaches. Concorde Worldwide can provide transportation in any destination city worldwide and accommodate any size group.

Everyone is Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day and few cities celebrate the holiday better than New York and its surrounding area. NYC’s Saint Patrick’s Day Parade is our country’s biggest parade. The streets of Manhattan will be crowded on Saturday, March 16th with revelers from far and near wearing green. Approximately two million spectators will convene to watch as the parade begins at 11:00 am on Fifth Avenue at 44th Street and goes past St. Patrick’s Cathedral at 50th Street, past the American Irish Historical Society & the Metropolitan Museum of Art at 83rd Street and to 86th Street, where the parade finishes around 4:30 – 5:00 pm.

To this day, the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade remains true to its roots by not allowing floats, automobiles and other commercial aspects. Marching is what you will see. The New York parade has become the largest Saint Patrick’s Day parade. In a typical year, 150,000 marchers participate in it including bands, firefighters, military and police groups, county associations, emigrant societies, social and cultural clubs.

Since this year Saint Patrick’s Day is on a Sunday, the party can start early but may also wrap up earlier than usually. Of course, you can also celebrate it on Friday or Saturday. Once the parade ends, you will see crowds of people retreat into pubs for traditional green beer. Many streets along the parade route will be closed so contact Concorde Worldwide and we will provide you with convenient transportation to and from the event. We have vehicles to accommodate any size group. Take the safe route on Saint Patrick’s Day and let us be your designated driver!
