...Cheesy! If you're feeling peckish in Midtown Manhattan you might try wandering into the IMB Building's atrium at East 56th Street and Madison Avenue to nosh on a mozzarella tasting menu. Obika looks like a take-out sushi joint, but it's an Italian restaurant chain focused on cheese, specifically its handmade Mozzarella di Bufala Campana. The porcelain white (the yellow mozzarella in your supermarket was made from cow's milk, not buffalo's), slightly briny balls are paired with grilled vegetables and prosciutto. If you just want a sandwich to go, the menu also includes paninis. Look...
...screen TVs at every gate and plenty of outlets for recharging cell phones and laptops. There's a resident pharmacist, a day spa and later, if all goes as planned, there will be holiday concerts, art exhibits, and perhaps even theater and dance performances. Ten shops circle the atrium - the bustling heart of the blue-hued terminal, at the fork of the its "Y" - including luxe retailers such as Lacoste and the Japanese clothing maker Muji. Overhead, a 44-foot yoke of LED screens, designed by David Rockwell to echo the undulating roof line of the nearby Saarinen building, hangs...
...Beers unveiled the most significant symbol of that transformation in March, when it hosted a dinner in Gaborone, in the atrium of what is now De Beer's main diamond-sorting, -valuing and -aggregating unit. The glass-and-steel construction will employ 500 Batswana and generate a further 2,500 ancillary jobs, particularly in 16 cutting and polishing factories set up around the new plant, and on its sorting benches, which will process a total of 34 million carats a year--22% of world output--or $6 billion in diamonds by 2009. "Our diamonds are for development," Botswana's then...
...floor. The Advocate kids tended to undulate in delight to sublime saxophone jazz of Marcus G. Miller ’08 while the Final Club crowd and the budding socialites showed off their hard-earned dance school moves and spun each other across the floor of the faux-Venetian atrium. If Harvard is the school of tomorrow’s leaders, then this gala was a peculiar subset of Harvard. Some were drawn by the art, perhaps, but most seemed drawn by visions of an Upper East Side future, a seat on a museum board, and the self-satisfaction?...
...There was the belief that if we tore down the buildings, the two murderers would have won," DeAngelis says, referring to the high school seniors who staged the Columbine attacks. Instead, the school opened the floor of the library where most of the students were murdered to create an atrium above the cafeteria. The school built an extension housing a new library, which features a 250-gallon saltwater fish tank that mental health professionals advised would have a calming effect on some students. That's also partly why the sterile grayness of some hallways was painted over with tranquil pastel...
