Carlyle Hotel Reflection

The Carlyle hotel showed how a very traditional and classic environment can represent luxury. When you first walk in the Carlyle the lobby is full of art that shows rich history and a lot of architecture that was used in an older time. Although it had a traditional environment it had various modern elements as well such as the flower vases in the hallways and the rooms having flat screen televisions. The cafe paints this vivid picture of what it was like to dine at an earlier time of history with the classical piano and classic art that surrounds the vicinity. In addition the lighting plays a huge role in the time period feeling as well. Today we use bright led lights but in the Carlyle there are alot of dim lights that try to emphasize how the lighting was in an earlier time. Overall going to the Carlyle was a rich experience due to the juxtaposition of traditional and modern sensations that was emitted throughout the building.

(Culinary tourism)

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.

Brooklyn Bridge Park – Iman Muyeeb-Walters

Today we walked around a small area of the Brooklyn bridge park. We learned about numerous historical events that took place and why it was so important. I got to visit the Jane’s carousel and many more historical sites. the river cafe was one place we passed, which was one of the first restaurants on that pier. Before the river cafe was built this was just an old dock. We gained a better understanding of the different aspects of tourism and how it helps and changes our community. The entrance to the park was lined with historical events that took place there which was amazing.
