In the elegant galleries of The Frick Collection—a museum housed in the former mansion of industrialist Henry Clay Frick—you will find some of the most exceptional works of Western art. Ranging from the Renaissance through the late nineteenth century, the Collection includes works by such celebrated artists as Bellini, Constable, Corot, Fragonard, Gainsborough, Goya, El Greco, Holbein, Ingres, Manet, Monet, Rembrandt, Renoir, Titian, Turner, Velázquez, Vermeer, and Whistler. In addition to major paintings by these and other masters, the Frick’s galleries contain fine French porcelains, Italian bronzes, sculptures, and period furniture. The permanent collection is further enriched by frequent presentations of special exhibitions. Established by Henry Clay Frick, the museum was greeted with awe when the doors first opened in 1935. It has grown over the years, while maintaining the special ambiance of an art connoisseur’s mansion, and today the Frick is internationally renowned as one of New York’s most remarkable cultural treasures.
The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) champions contemporary makers across creative fields—presenting artists, designers, and artisans who apply the highest level of ingenuity and skill to their work.

Today, the Museum’s curatorial program builds upon a rich history of exhibitions that emphasize a cross-disciplinary approach to art and design, and reveals the workmanship behind the objects and environments that shape our everyday lives. MAD provides an international platform for practitioners who are influencing the direction of cultural production and driving 21st-century innovation, fostering a participatory setting for visitors to have direct encounters with skilled making and compelling works of art and design.

On February 1, 1901 a group of nine artists and one advising businessman founded the Society, and by 1939 the Society had moved to its current headquarters in an 1875 carriage house located at 128 East 63rd Street. In 1981 the Museum of American Illustration was established which now features the art of such legendary artists as Rockwell, Pyle, Wyeth, Kent, Peak, Fuchs and Holland, as well as contemporary artists. In 2012 the Society received the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art, and created the MoCCA gallery in the second floor. Since then the Society has exhibited works by legendary artists Arnold Roth, Bill Griffith, and Harvey Kurtzman. The Society is also proud to now host the annual MoCCA Arts Festival.
The American Folk Art Museum is the premier institution devoted to the aesthetic appreciation of traditional folk art and creative expressions of contemporary self-taught artists from the United States and abroad.

Fifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare going through the borough of Manhattan in New York City, United States. It stretches from West 143rd Street in Harlem to Washington Square North at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village. It is considered among the most expensive and best shopping streets in the world.HistoryThe lower stretch of Fifth Avenue extended the stylish neighborhood of Washington Square northwards. The high status of Fifth Avenue was confirmed in 1862, when Caroline Schermerhorn Astor settled on the southwest corner of 34th Street, and the beginning of the end of its reign as a residential street was symbolized by the erection, in 1893, of the Astoria Hotel on the site of her house, later linked to its neighbor as the Waldorf–Astoria Hotel (now the site of the Empire State Building). Fifth Avenue is the central scene in Edith Wharton's 1920 Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Age of Innocence. The novel describes New York's social elite in the 1870s and provides historical context to Fifth Avenue and New York's aristocratic families.
Mi sarebbe tanto piaciuto esserci, STUDIO 54 NEW YORK La discoteca più famosa e più sballata mai esistita al mondo!!!Steve Rubell aveva un sogno...e lo realizzò!!nato nel Dicembre del 1943,morì a Luglio del 1989.Ma la storia dello Studio 54 non avrà mai fine...peccato di non esserci stato!!Maurizio Tramontano. I would have much liked to be there, STUDIO 54 NEW YORK The most famous discos and unpacking ever existed in the world! Steve Rubell had a dream ... and it made! Born in December 1943, died in July 1989.Ma the history of Studio 54 will never end ... shame not to have been! Maurizio Tramontano. STUDIO 54 cinquantaquattresima Strada a Manhattan, tra la Settima e l'Ottava Avenue, inaugurata il 26 Aprile del 1977 e chiusa a Marzo del 1986. Allestito all'interno di un teatro che fino al decennio prima fungeva da studio televisivo (da cui il nome) è universalmente riconosciuto come il primo esempio di discoteca di grande successo come viene inteso oggi. Caratteristica principale del locale era l'altissimo grado di selezione di clientela che veniva effettuato all'ingresso, le provocazioni al costume e la stravaganza delle serate proposte. L'intento del gestore del locale (Steve Rubell) era infatti quello di garantire all'ospite "la più grande festa del mondo" nonché quello di scioccare con gli eccessi la città di New York (ci fu chi entrò nel locale a dorso di cavallo).La musica riprodotta ad alto volume, le scenografie allusive (emblematica era la falce di luna imboccata dal cucchiaino), le serate che ogni sabato prevedevano una sorpresa od un nuovo eccesso, fecero in modo che sin da subito questa discoteca si presentasse come un luogo dove le etichette sociali non contavano nulla, ma dove tutti potevano essere protagonisti.La struttura del locale era essenzialmente quella di un banale cinema, composto da platea e galleria. La pista era situata dove prima era la platea, la consolle del DJ dove un tempo era il palco e la balconata, accessibile da una decoratissima scala in stile barocco, era la zona dei divani. Sotto la balconata e quindi alla stessa quota della pista, si trovava il bancone del bar. Ignorata dai più, era una saletta (il Privè) collocata ad una quota superiore in corrispondenza della balconata e dove poteva entrare un ristrettissimo numero di persone invitate esclusivamente dal gestore Steve Rubell. Numerosissime furono le celebrità di quel periodo ospiti dello Studio54 (tra cui Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, Andy Warhol, John Travolta, Truman Capote, Michael Jackson, Elton John ed una ancora sconosciuta Madonna). Altrettanto numerosi furono gli artisti che vi si esibirono (tra cui Grace Jones, Chic, Diana Ross ed Amii Stewart). Tuttavia l'età d'oro del locale durò appena due anni, poiché il gestore fu arrestato per possesso di droga e frode al fisco. Cambiando gestione restò comunque aperto fino al 1986 quando venne chiuso e quindi riabilitato a teatro (tutt'ora funzionante).

Inside of a theater that until the first decade served as a television studio (hence the name) is universally recognized as the first example of a very successful disco as it is understood today. The main feature of the space was the highest degree of selection of customers who arrived at the costume to the provocations and the extravagance of the evening proposals. The intention of the operator of the premises (Steve Rubell) was to guarantee "the largest festival in the world" and to shock with the excesses of the New York City (there were those who came into the room to the back of a horse ). The music played at high volume, the allusive scenes (it was emblematic of the crescent moon taken by the teaspoon), the Saturday evening that included a surprise or a new excess, did so right now this disco is presented as a place where social labels were not anything, but where everyone could be protagonisti.La local structure was essentially that of an ordinary film, composed of the stalls and gallery. The track was located where was the first audience, the DJ console where it was once the stage and balcony, accessible by a staircase decoratissima Baroque style, was the area of sofas. Under the balcony and then share the same runway, was the bar. Ignored by most, was a small room (the Privè) placed at a height at the upper balcony and where it could enter a very small number of people invited by the operator only Steve Rubell. Many were the celebrities of that period of Studio54 guests (including Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, Andy Warhol, John Travolta, Truman Capote, Michael Jackson, Elton John and Madonna still unknown). Equally numerous were the artists who performed (including Grace Jones, Chic, Diana Ross and Amii Stewart). But the golden age of local lasted just two years, since the operator was arrested for possession of drugs and to the tax fraud. Changing management however remained open until 1986 when it was closed and then restored to the theater (still running)
53W53, also known as the MoMA Expansion Tower and 53 West 53rd Street, and formerly known as Tower Verre is a supertall skyscraper currently under construction by the real estate companies Hines, Pontiac Land Group and Goldman Sachs, located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City adjacent to The Museum of Modern Art. The building had been in development since 2006, and construction began in late 2014.HistoryThe building, designed by Jean Nouvel, initially was proposed to stand 1,250 feet (381 m) tall (the same height as the Empire State Building below its mast). The mid-block building had run into considerable opposition focusing on fears that it would cast a shadow over Central Park during the winter and that its mid-block location would create traffic problems. Financing had been a problem, until October 2013, when the Kwee brothers' Pontiac Land agreed to provide $200 million in equity, supported by an $860 million loan from a consortium of Asian banks.The building bought air rights from the University Club of New York and St. Thomas Church. On September 9, 2009, the New York City Planning Commission said the building could be built if 200ft were clipped off the top. The City's decision not to approve Tower Verre as proposed was greeted with disappointment and derision by several prominent architecture critics. The 1050ft version was approved by the City Council on October 28, 2009 in a 44-3 vote.

The 21 Club, often simply 21, is an American traditional cuisine restaurant and former prohibition-era speakeasy, located at 21 West 52nd Street in New York City.EnvironmentThe Bar Room includes a restaurant, a lounge and, as the name implies, a bar. The walls and ceiling of the Bar Room are covered with antique toys and sports memorabilia donated by famous patrons. Perhaps the most famous feature of 21 is the line of painted cast iron lawn jockey statues which adorns the balcony above the entrance. In the 1930s, some of the affluent customers of the bar began to show their appreciation by presenting 21 with jockeys painted to represent the racing colors of the stables they owned. There are 33 jockeys on the exterior of the building, and 2 more inside the doors, all painted to portray a uniformly Caucasian skin tone.
The CBS Building in New York City, also known as Black Rock, is the headquarters of CBS Corporation. Located at 51 West 52nd Street at the corner of Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas), the Eero Saarinen-designed building opened in 1965. It is 38 stories and 490ft tall with approximately 872000sqft rentable of space. The interior and furnishings were designed by Saarinen and Florence Knoll.BackgroundThe building was the result of intricate planning between Eero Saarinen and CBS's then-president, Frank Stanton. Its concrete structural system was developed by Mario Salvadori. Unlike some major skyscrapers built in that section of midtown Manhattan during the 1950s and 60s, its pillars are more dominant than its windows. It received its nickname "Black Rock" for its dark granite cladding.The company moved to its new headquarters from longterm lease space at 485 Madison Avenue at 52nd Street. Prior to the building's completion, CBS moved its radio network studios—the CBS News network radio studios on the 17th floor of 485 Madison and other studios across the street in the CBS Studio Building—to the CBS Broadcast Center on 57th Street starting in 1964. The TV news studios, based mostly at the Graybar Building at Grand Central Terminal, also moved to the Broadcast Center around that period of time, starting with the CBS Evening News studio-newsroom in 1963.
