Macaulay Cake Walk

We strolled down Columbus Avenue in search of a perfect treat to satisfy our craving. The busy avenue led us to our first attraction, the well known, Magnolia Bakery. As we smelled the sugary goodness, we knew we wanted to explore the sweetness Columbus Avenue had to offer. In a few short steps from Magnolia, we stumbled upon a quaint little coffee shop, with the alluring name of the Sensuous Bean. The smell of coffee from outside drew us in to the tiny shop with more variety of coffee beans than you can imagine. Craving for more coffee, we made our way back to 67th street to find a unique organic coffee spot called Café Saint Honore. Traveling on this sweet journey we learned that we could never go wrong with sugar and organic, and small cafes offer a cozy feel for a better value.

Mapping Columbus Av 67th-68th

1. What did you do?
We decided to map Columbus Ave between 67th and 68th St. We took videos of the exterior and interior of the stores as well as interviewed the employees. Then, we added the videos onto Google map.
2. Why did you choose it?
We felt that just by looking at the shops was not enough, so we wanted to create visuals with plenty of dialogue describing our experience on the block.
3. What did you learn?
We learned how to create a map on Google Map and embed videos into the map locations.

Entertainment around 67th Street Santiago Mueckay, Alex Schukin, Erik Bazyan, Allen Zhu, Zohaib Qazi

What did you do?
We created an interactive map of the surrounding area of 67th street including points of interest that dealt with the performing arts including the famed Lincoln Center.

Why did you choose it?
The culture of New York City is heavily based in the entertainment industry. Everything from performing arts theaters to the simple movie going culture creates the diverse array of entertainment that surrounds us. We took the time to research and find prominent buildings that represent our love for the arts and entertainment.

What did you learn?
We learned that every individual values his or her entertainment differently. They go to different venues and appreciate different genres of movies, plays, dances, and operas. One thing though that we found in common was each of the respective buildings served the common need of the people: The need to immerse oneself in a fantastical world where the monotony of our lives disappears into the dramatic heights and falls of the entertainment industry.
