It’s affordable, it’s fun and it’s something all the family can enjoy.

The Eately concept originated in Turin and was brought to the US in 2007. Essentially it is a high-end Italian marketplace and food court. Its founder, Mario Batali, calls it a ‘grocery store with tasting rooms and restaurants’. Located in the Toy Building on 5th Avenue, Eately is a 50,000 square foot space which contains restaurants, a pizzeria, an Italian steakhouse, a rooftop beer garden that is open all year-round and a microbrewery.

His art work displays were countrywide and worldwide for more than forty years. Andrews' work can be found in the everlasting collections of various museums as well as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Hirsh horn Museum and The Art Institute of Chicago.
The exhibit that I viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was one about European Art between the years 1100-1500. This was a series of paintings, sculptures, architecture, and tapestry of the Medieval and Early Renaissance as well as objects from the Middle East. This exhibit was an important part of the history of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because for the first time, Italian, Spanish, and Northern European paintings from the John G. Johnson collection were shown. It gave me a good idea of what the paintings were like in these four centuries and reflected ideas of both the east and the west.

Hauntings of the Eastern Shore are unique and interesting things that also influence our culture. There are many myths, attractions, places, museums, and interesting stories from different people. Not all paranormal activity is the same, they all have a uniquely fascinating story behind them that makes the Eastern Shore unique. “Each year, in the Fall, haunted houses, hayrides, and trails find a new and creepier way to scare Marylanders” (Cockrum).
The arrival to Manhattan was like an entry to a whole new world: from the sea, its breezes, color, and landscapes, to the heart of the city beating louder than ever at the Whitehall Terminal. I could smell New York’s bagels in Battery Park with a mixture of the most relaxing scents: the coffee people were holding while walking down the streets, the old walls of Castle Clinton ...

...ey acknowledges its permanent collection as being its most valuable asset. As I have stated earlier in this essay, with a collection consisting of over 12,000 paintings and representing more than 2,000 artists, the Whitney can fully present the most complete overview of twentieth century American art. With this wide range of modern American art, the visitor is offered a chance to experience fully the direction art has taken in America for the past one hundred years while also representing contemporary artists. The museums collection is also recognized as for its in-depth commitment to a number of key artists. From the first half of the century, such seminal figures as Edward Hopper (Figure 3), which the Whitney has acquired his entire estate. This demonstrates the Whitney’s dedication to key figures in American art and also which artists they perceive as being worthy or such attention, ones that in the Whitney’s vision have contributed most to the American art scene during their time and influential past their lives works. By dedicating two entire floors to the display of the permanent collection, the Museum reaffirms the collection's central role in the Whitney Museum experience.

Thousands of years ago, the area where Central Park now stands is covered and surrounded by glaciers. But about 12,000 years ago, the last of them known as the Wisconsin Glacier finally melted away.But if you’re still in doubt, the large boulders (bedrock) you can see around the park are in fact left there when the glaciers receded and serves as the strongest geological evidence of their existence then.
During my second time visiting the museum, I looked at paintings from the 15th and 19th centuries. Two of the art works that I choose is “The Story of Joseph” from the Renaissance period and “The Marketplace” from the modern art period. Both of these paintings were from different time periods but they were also very similar in content and style.
As I spent the day in the Philadelphia Museum of Art many paintings appealed to my interest.
The book points out that the insiders of New York architecturally designed the borough to have aesthetically pleasing lights which draw people into the city (Makagon, 2004, p.152.). Being in an aesthetically pleasing space that is described as “open” by Makagon allows for tourist to buy overpriced items almost without even realizing it (Makagon, 2004, p.153.). For example, the mouthwatering burger a five-star restaurant sells for thirty bucks, when the same burger for five dollars back at home. The genius business work in the city of Manhattan allows for the city to work the way it does, which is what Daniel Makagon attemps to convey through his book. This book would be perfect for a business class to read, so they can understand the complex behind the scenes action taken in order to make businesses (Time Square itself) work
Naples is a very unique city that attracts people from all over the world to its beautiful surroundings. Amongst the pristine beaches and championship golf courses, a teenager can find many entertaining locations. One such area can be found in downtown Naples on Fifth Avenue. Along this stretch of road near the beach lies a vast array of shops, cafes, restaurants, and other establishments. I often find myself spending many nights on Fifth Avenue, walking along the tree-lined streets or sitting in one of the numerous cafés or restaurants.

Once we were done sightseeing we decided to head to Time Square and do some shopping. Before we got to Time Square, we saw a flea market and decided to stop and look around. They had just random things from the sellers like knives to Indian tribe trinkets.
