Anthony redecorated the walls with African art and a portrait of Albert Einstein. There is no hint that its current occupant is an NBA star. Like its new owner, the office offers mostly imagination and unrealized potential: a prime location on the 11th floor of a high-rise overlooking the East River, with the old nameplate for Brooklyn Industries still affixed to the outside door.
The space was in need of transformation, and Anthony was ready to be transformed. Tim Keown: Tyron Smith battles for his own moneyĪnthony purchased this office space about a year ago, even though he was still unsure what he wanted to do with it - still unsure what he wanted to do himself. Travelers adore the Met, calling the facilites and artwork first-class.Dave Fleming: The unbelievable journey of Carson Palmer's knee If you've already visited the Met a time or two, then plan your next trip around the semiannual exhibits by the Costume Institute, or head to The Met Cloisters, an offshoot museum that's dedicated to medieval Europe's art and architecture located in Fort Tyron Park. If you've never been there, then you should definitely visit its permanent collections (the first floor's Greek and Roman art, Egyptian art and the second floor's Islamic art exhibits are especially popular with travelers). Spilling over with masterpieces from all over the world, including notable collections from Ancient Egypt and classical antiquity, "the Met" is an art experience unlike any other, and like much in New York, it's impossible to see all the museum has to offer in one day (or even two days, for that matter). No museum in the United States is as celebrated as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Recent visitors say a stroll through this park makes for a delightful respite from the busy city and many note how well-maintained the grounds are. Unsure of where to start? Mull over your choices in the park's eateries: Bryant Park Grill and Bryant Park Café. Bryant Park also hosts yoga and tai chi classes, knitting circles, chess tournaments and literary events. The list of activities doesn't stop there. Recent visitors do offer a few suggestions though, like stopping in the New York Public Library (which sits facing the park's Great Lawn), ice skating around the Pond or riding on the French-style carousel.
You don't need a preplanned event to enjoy Bryant Park – you could simply come here to enjoy the scenery or to use the free Wi-Fi. This is the preferred place for midtown Manhattan professionals to come eat lunch, for fashionistas to strut during fashion week and for performers to showcase their talents during Broadway in Bryant Park and Piano in the Park. Though its lush green space has existed for more than 150 years, Bryant Park was a revitalization project of the 1990s that made it a sanctuary for locals and tourists alike. Just south of Times Square lies some of the most beautiful 4 acres in Manhattan – Bryant Park. Local experts say the institution is one of the city's can't-miss museums. and it's educational and interactive," says Richard Tucker, head concierge at The Refinery Hotel.
"It’s an imaginative place, good for anyone of any age. Local experts also say this museum is one of the best things to do as a family visiting New York City. The Rose Center for Earth and Space is a particular favorite, but you should also plan on visiting the dinosaurs, the Hall of the Universe and the Butterfly Conservatory (on display from October through May). There are approximately 32 million artifacts inside, spread across four city blocks, 25 buildings and through 45 exhibition halls, so don't even plan on seeing everything in one day. Even the cafeteria and gift shop are worth your notice. Whether you're exploring the interactive exhibits on the land, the sea or outer space user reviews take on a common theme.
