Main topic: Midtown is the entertainment hub of New York City, and is the New York that is portrayed to the world.
Form of medium: Website that presents the information in different forms, such as videos (made by us), pictures, text, etc.
We plan on going out to Midtown, taking videos and pictures, possibly going to one restaurant around the area and discussing our experience.Abstract: Midtown New York is a neighborhood of major cultural importance to the rest of the city. There’s entertainment in the form of Madison square garden, the MoMa, and a plethora of Michelin star restaurants, as well as incredibly good local restaurants that have been in that location for many years. In regard to transportation, it is in the very center of Manhattan, leading to a place many people cross to get through the entire city. Additionally, we have Grand Central Terminal, which allows us to travel outside of the city by train. Also, in the midtown neighborhood, at the very north of it, Central Park begins. Central Park is a center of demonstrations, both political and artistic. Additionally, we plan on mentioning the other trains that link to Grand Central Terminal.
Cristian, Chaz – so you want to have a dinner and a nice conversation visiting Manhattan? Good, do it. (I would suggest that you’d better avoid any eating places near Times Sq. There is a couple of exceptions, but most of the restaurants in the area are pretty awful, like typical “tourist traps” in heavily trafficked, touristy areas.)
It’s unclear whether your interest is primarily in the “transportation hub” (Grand Central Terminal), somewhat vague greenary “at the very north”, (there is no active ‘entertainment’ on Broadway at this point, due to the covid plague), or restaurants…
In any case, what you propose here sounds like a potentially pleasant visit in midtown Manhattan (although even this might be difficult now, due to the tightened restrictions), but it’s not yet an intelligent creative project. Back to the drawing board.
