  • A Quick Lunch After A Visit To The Whitney Museum of American Art

    New York City is well known for a variety of things, whether it’s the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, Times Square, food, diverse cultures, museums and more. There are lots of remarkable places to explore and spend time with family, friends, or individually. In this post, I’ll specifically focus on The Whitney Museum of American Art and why you should stop by Simo’s Pizza Restaurant for a quick lunch afterwards! 

    The Whitney Museum of American Art is a museum that is both outstanding and modern looking from the outside. And while indoors there’s a great number of works to tour; ranging from a collection of paintings, photographs, sculptures, prints, for instance. Many of the works are very well known artists such as Edward Hopper, Georgia O’ Keeffe, George Bellows and the list goes on. A museum with the focus of collecting and dedicating works of the 20th and 21st century American artists. What’s more? There’s always an exhibition going on, so do take the opportunity to explore one. You know, the fun of exhibits is that there is something new to expect for every visit to the Whitney. Moreover, the exterior spaces of the Whitney’s balconies allow for a marvelous experience of NYC’s atmospheric views! You’ll be amazed, indeed. Now keep in mind, to get the most out of a visit to the Whitney Museum you should consider searching online to their website for ongoing exhibitions to your interest, view collections of works you may come across to, and last but not least do purchase an admission ticket in advance as it can get busy depending on certain times. Maybe it’s best to plan a visit during a weekday. 

    Moving on, after a good day of a visit to the museum and now you, your friends, or family are hungry! Well, no worries. Let me recommend you to Simo’s Pizza Restaurant, located across the street from the Whitney Museum. Who doesn’t love pizza? A simple and quick lunch for anyone to enjoy and be happy. What makes Simo’s Pizza worth the visit is because their pizzas are personal sized, a whole pie, thin crust, and provide a variety of topping choices. Prices are reasonable ranging from $12-$14. Therefore, offer vegetarian and vegan options, salads, specials and desserts. If you are looking for a healthier alternative for your pizza of choice. And lastly, a gluten-free pizza crust made out of corn, rice, and buckwheat flavors. Stop by Simo’s Pizza Restaurant for a quick lunch!

  • Spreading The Christmas Spirit At Bryant Park

    It’s finally here, that freezing cold time of year. You bring out the tinsels and baubles and lights, and you pretend the end of your wallet isn’t here. The living room smells like pine (if you have a real tree). You anticipate the gifts you’ll get and try to ignore the amount of money spent on the ones you’ll have to give. It’s a joyous (mostly) time of year, one you get to spend with family and friends (maybe). All of you gather at someone’s house and sit around the tree. Oh, Christmas, that freezing cold time of year. You warm our hearts, by gathering us near.

    There are a whole lot of things we can do together with people during this special time of year. And sometimes, it starts really early. Sometimes, the season starts in November, a whole month before December. It’s like Thanksgiving got skipped over, but honestly, the spirit of Christmas and Thanksgiving are really similar. Both holidays involve spending time with the people you love and trying to stay warm. So we’ll talk about spending time together at Bryant Park, just as I do with my friends.

    Spending Time Together at Bryant Park

    Bryant Park, located between 40th and 42nd streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues New York, NY 10018

    is a public park. During the holidays though, it becomes a magical little village filled with lights, people, and vendors. There is food to be had and oddities to behold. The weather outside is cold, but after a while of walking, you’ll warm up. Bring those you love with you, and your heart will be full. There is an ice skating rink for everyone to slip and slide and land on their backsides. There’s seating for when everyone gets tired and tables to hold the food. Have fun together, and make those memories count. At the end of the day, you’ll be tired, but you’ll be warm and your heart will be content. Send the year away with the people you love.
