    World War II East Coast Memorial, New York
    Bruce K.

    This memorial commemorates those soldiers, sailors, Marines, coast guardsmen, merchant mariners and airmen who met their deaths in the service of their country in the western waters of the Atlantic Ocean during World War II. There are eight 19-foot tall granite pylons onto which are inscribed the names, rank, organization and state of each of the deceased. The walkway is cleverly designed to frame the Statue of Liberty and the large eagle at the center. Lots of names. Too many. [Review 18349 overall - 347 in New York - 1871 of 2022.]

    Battery Park has beautiful views of the Statue of Liberty. I love to visit this southernmost area in Manhattan. I do become sad by all of the WAR Memorials in the park. I had an uncle and a cousin die in WWII. This Statue of the Eagle Flying Free reminds me not to take my freedom lightly. Many men and women died in the service of our country over the years. This area of the park has seating where I rest and reflect quietly. I suggest you do the same when you visit. Thanks

    In memory of those who served our country. Right off the lookout to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Easy to find and the memorial of names of military has such a powerful feeling when you visit. Definitely a must see in NYC!

    What's the best way to get to Carnegie Hall? PRACTICE!…read more Rich in history since it opened in the late 1800's, it has been one of NYC's and our nation's most prestigious homes for musicians, singers, performers. Excellent acoustics, from all seats. Treat yourself, they have an extensive calendar... classical, broadway, modern, jazz, etc.

    Carnegie Hall is a delightful, dazzling place, where the arts have traditionally -- and still,…read morecurrently -- thrive. It's such an important NYC cultural landmark, and I've been deeply fortunate to attend four events there now. If you're reading this review because you're thinking of attending an upcoming performance, and you're on the fence about it, then I hope that this review will persuade you to get off of the fence and into a seat at Carnegie Hall! Trust me, it's so worth it. Most recently, I participated in a wonderful event at Zankel Hall. It was called "The Divine Art of Music," and it was fabulous. It featured much of the best of both "Western" and "Eastern" music; I can confidently assert that it uplifted many souls that evening. Zankel Hall itself, which seats about 600 people, had such an intimate and fresh feeling to it...highly recommend it! The ushers were all focused, kind, attentive and friendly, which also contributed to a positive and memorable experience for everyone in attendance. IMHO, Carnegie Hall is a foretaste of heaven, which makes heaven all the more attractive. : ) In conclusion, it's truly one of those awe-inspiring gems on this side of the veil, so to speak, which brings us not only culture but a sense of God's goodness and loveliness to all who enter it. I hope that it continues to flourish for many years to come. Amen : ) To more joyful musical moments, Kat PS The Ricola Original Herb Cough Drops (complimentary and on demand) -- in its hallowed hallways -- are such a nice touch. : ) Thanks so much ~

    With a legacy of famous artists, this art school seems like a great place to study and take art…read moreclasses and be part of an art student community. Passed by this on my way from Columbus circle, and I plan on coming back to try an art class. They have evening and part time schedule of classes, from figure drawing, sculpting, painting, illustration, so there are a lot of options to choose from. Nice historical looking building from the outside.

    The Art Students League will always have a special place in my heart. I can't speak to how they are…read morecurrently but I attended from 2015-2019 and made many friends here, and it was a great environment to create, whether I was learning wood sculpture or refining my vision as a painter. Most of the instructors were wonderful, offering guidance when I asked and space when I needed it. It is very reasonably priced and remains a true NYC institution. The only instructor I would caution against is Pat Lipsky. I found her conceited and negative, even spiteful at times. If your aesthetics do not align with Immanuel Kant or Clement Greenberg, you may not feel welcome in her class. After she asked me to help set up her studio for a visiting curator, I left the class. From that point on, she refused to acknowledge me when we crossed paths. Still, the overall experience was deeply meaningful. I am grateful for the time I spent here and the ways it shaped my work and friendships.
