For our project, we looked at Alice Tully Hall, because we thought its chamber music concerts were interesting. We learned that musical venues can be busy even when there is no music. Watch the video and all will become clear.

We sampled 2 local cafes around 67th Street, in order to compare their wares and atmosphere to that of the ubiquitous Starbucks chain. We wanted to get to know the neighborhood cafes, and see if the local places offered the same (or better!) coffee that the chain we know and love provides. We learned that although the local cafes have intimate and unique atmospheres, and products that we did enjoy, Starbucks is still our one true love because it was more spacious, the baristas were much more personable, and the coffee is guaranteed to fulfill our caffeine needs. We also had a great time exploring the community around the Macaulay Center.
