BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Most will argue there's never enough time to address the busy demands of day-to-day living; let alone find extra time to experience, indulge and enjoy life's simple pleasures, until now. On Monday, February 29, Residence Inn by Marriott will celebrate Leap Day 2016 by taking over New York City and inviting the public to seize the extra day their way, with a series of free events and activities.
Residence Inn understands its guests' busy schedules, especially while on the road, and has selected Leap Day to demonstrate how each Residence Inn stay affords guests extra found time. As the leader in extended stay lodging, the brand offers time-saving signature amenities and services including: free grocery delivery; complimentary hot breakfasts; fully equipped in-suite kitchens; Paul Mitchell grooming products; convenient 24-hour markets; fitness centers and The Mix evening social events, all in a pet-friendly environment.
In an effort to help New Yorkers maximize 2016's extra calendar day, Residence Inn will host the following series of free interactive events that will take place around the city.
1) 6AM – 10AM, Strike a Pose at Daybreak: Kick off the workweek with a complimentary yoga session and a legendary "silent disco" street party. While two DJs battle it out, use wireless headphones to dance to your favorite mix.

2) 7AM – 6PM, Ditch the Five-o'clock Shadow: Get groomed and primped with two mobile shave trucks that will offer hot shaves, massages, mini-manicures and shoe shines. The trucks will be parked in convenient city locations, so you can spend time on yourself – to feel and look good.
