Location-aware Music Project - Central Park NY
Ryan Holladay and his brother Hays created the location-based musical experience “Listen to the Light” in Central Park, in which users pursued musical and physical routes during a walk through the park.
Location-aware music is Ryan and Hays Holladay’s exploration of music that is composed and mapped to a landscape and that can only be experienced within the designated coordinates of a physical space. Designed for Apple’s iPhone and iPad, location-aware music discards the passive listening experience and invites the user to explore a terrain musically as they move throughout a space. Musical passages and pockets of sound are spread across a terrain — geo-tagged to various landmarks, paths and spaces that blend seamlessly as the listener traverses the area.

The Curator of “Brooklyn Look” - Jennifer Mankins
Jennifer Mankins, who owns the three Bird boutiques in Brooklyn, at her South Williamsburg store, where she stocks approachable pieces by independent designers.
Bird (women’s and men’s fashion) | Williamsburg, Brooklyn
At 2,500 square feet, the Williamsburg outpost of Bird is nearly three times the size of Jennifer Mankins’s two existing Brooklyn shops. Inside is a calming expanse of pale yellow pine wood (salvaged from a warehouse), steel, brick and natural light. The clean, Scandinavian-inspired interior is home to a newly expanded line of women’s wear. In addition to her signature labels like Vena Cava and Alexander Wang, Mankins is adding Thakoon and animal-friendly accessories by Stella McCartney to the mix, plus shoes, bags and her biggest offering of men’s wear yet. Mankins, who collaborated with the architect Ole Sondresen, says that if all goes according to plan, this Bird shop will be the first LEED-certified clothing store in New York City (the City’s official Green Building Ratings System).

Sutton Place penthouse of Richard Perry, Barneys owner.
Perry is a man of meticulous habit, a super-athlete who prides himself on his sophisticated sense of style. He has a closetful of suits by Thom Browne and Lanvin that don’t have shoulders that slant like a roof.
His apartment is a pure example of the Pop and neo-Pop aesthetics in that everything is magnified and lurid, like the huge Jeff Koons metallic green diamond planted on the terrace, visible from the foyer — and a source of vexation with a neighbor, who claimed the rock emits a laser-strength glare. (Richard dismisses the gripe as baseless.) The apartment is like someone’s idea in 1963 of a home of the future, down to the panoramic curve of the living room, the bottomless whiteness and the oval leather sofa large enough to seat 30. On the walls hang paintings by Roy Lichtenstein and Jim Dine. It’s not a room for relaxing; even trays of hard candies, displayed with absurd precision, seem to treat enjoyment strictly as a still life.

Applebee´s
A new Applebee’s is opening in Harlem on December 10th, which will be the greenest restaurant in New York. It is on track to be the city’s first LEED-certified Gold eatery, of which there are only eleven nationwide.
The green Applebee’s has energy-efficient appliances, recycled carpeting, and LED lights with motion sensors that switch them off if nobody is around. There is also an educational touchscreen in the restaurant to inform customers about all of these features.
