Site Visit of The Carlyle Hotel- Ananllely Segura

As i entered The Hotel the first thing i saw was this little restaurant which seemed very old fashioned/ 50’s themed, it had a classic yet simple cabaret feel to it, i feel that maybe the rugs and dark lighting is what gave it its character. Although the Hotel’s lobby was narrow and quite small from what ive seen it seemed to add perfectly to the welcome home type of feel. My favorite part of the hotel had to be the rooms, each room felt like i was walking into someones home each decorated and set up in its own unique way. I loved the old fashioned home away from home feel to it.

The most significant information i learned throughout the trip would have to be that although the hotel is very old fashioned many celebrities still stay there and enjoy its uniqueness. Also the fact that people actually live there validates how welcoming the hotel is. The employees were all great at communicating with eachother as well as with the guests/residents.

According to the assignment i was apart of the culinary tourism group. Culinary tourism is exactly what it states; being able to enjoy different foods and beverages as well as understand the culture behind what your eating/drinking. One of the most toured places in our city is in the Brooklyn waterfront near the bridge itself. Some of the culinary activities on the waterfront are: Smorgasburg, Brooklyn Bridge Sunset Food Tour and of course many more local bar’s and cafe’s. Smorgasburg is the perfect place to endulge in brooklyns culinary culture where one enjoys a variety of food and beverages, it has even been called “The Woodstock of Eating”. As for the Brooklyn Food Tour it is a food tour from lower manhattan to the brooklyn bridge. Throughout this tour not only do you enjoy a variety of food and beverages but you get to take a deeper look at history along the way through the help of an educated leader.
