Summary
Miami and New York are great cities for a pleasant weekend or even a mini-vacation. There are many parks in New York, located in various parts of the metropolis, including Corona Flushing Meadows Park, Central Park, Coney Island, Van Cortland Park, Clove Lakes Park, and Battery Park, Astoria Park, Pelham Bay Park, Prospect Park, and Riverside Park. There are also multiple indoor sports facilities, including fitness centers, dance halls, and yoga rooms.
Recently, the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, announced that the city authorities would close up to 40 miles of roads along recreational green spaces and parks to provide residents of the city with more room to relax during social distancing.
This wise decision is especially relevant for the post-crisis period associated with coronavirus, the consequences of which cause depression in many people. Depression symptoms are common due to a lockdown for people who escaped infection and a lack of oxygen supply to the brain during the illness for people who survived the disease. The mayor promises to further close up to 100 miles of New York roads, which will allow citizens to improve their physical and emotional well-being and receive a daily dose of oxygen and Vitamin D.
Miami is also rich in recreation areas, as it is famous for its beaches worldwide. Although most recreational areas facing the ocean are privately owned, Miami Beach can be an excellent place for recreation within the city limits. Water sports enthusiasts can go kayaking on the Indiana River, while fitness fans always have the opportunity for a pleasant outdoor workout in one of Miami’s parks and green spaces.
NYC Museums
NYC is located on the Eastern Coast of the North American continent. It was founded by the European settlers in the late 17th century and was first called the New Amsterdam. It faced a boost in its development in the late XIX-early XX centuries with the growing share of manufacturing in the state economy and the enormous flows of immigrant labor that it attracted. Modern New Yorkers are mainly sophisticated metropolitan dwellers with a sound sense of individuality and a taste for entertainment.
There are up to 8 million people of different races and cultures who live in New York and work in big and small enterprises. New York City today is one of the world’s most prominent business centers, and people mainly arrive in New York to find white-collar jobs, unlike in the early XX century. There is still a distinct class division, with the small part of elites living on the fifth avenue, a fair share of the upper-middle class, and the majority of the middle class. New York still has problems with homelessness and poverty, especially in the face of the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus.
New York has plenty of museums, including sites dedicated to Art and History. It also has two luxurious public libraries, an observatory, the museum of war technologies, and many others. The museums dedicated to Art and Modern Art are usually safe and comfortable open spaces where the representatives of all classes can recreate during the weekends. Since the concept of Modern Art becomes wider, these museums are also a perfect destination for children of all ages. Visitors from abroad and other states can see art museums as lovely places for rest and meditation. The most well-known Art and Modern Art museums in New York are the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, Frick Collection, Whitney Museum of American Art, Neue Galerie, Color Factory, Rubin Museum of Art, and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
