City officials say artist Sherwin Banfield has created a statue of the legendary rapper to put on display in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. According to reports, the installation features a musical component, implementing actual audio in the piece.
The sculpture of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer will be located in David Dinkins Circle within Corona Park. Banfield’s creation will be on view through November 2024.
The neo-Renaissance lobby inside 200 Madison Avenue has been designated a city landmark.
The Landmarks Preservation Commission unanimously approved the designation as an interior landmark. The lobby is inside the vaulted arcade that spans the building between East 35th and East 36th Streets.
Built in the 1920s by the architecture firm Warren and Wetmore, the lobby’s gilded and ornate aesthetic includes patterned terrazzo floors and marble walls. The arched bays along the ceiling are filled with floral mosaics, animal medallions and projecting lion heads, according to the LPC.
The lobby looks very much as it did when it first opened in 1926. Historic preservation experts say 200 Madison is among many treasures the city needs to protect.
Following a successful test at select locations last year, Arby’s today announced the nationwide debut of the new Deluxe Wagyu Steakhouse Burger.
The Deluxe Wagyu Steakhouse Burger features a patty made with a premium blend of American Wagyu and ground beef, layered with American cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion and a special burger sauce on a toasted buttery brioche bun.
There’s also an option to add bacon and ranch for a more unique, indulgent flavor.
Arby’s Wagyu Steakhouse Burger is made with a blend of 52% American Wagyu and 48% ground beef, for a premium steakhouse burger that’s 50 percent larger than a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder.
Arby’s Wagyu Steakhouse Burger is cooked using Sous Vide style – a unique cooking method locks in juices and rich flavor, while producing a juicy, tender burger with a slightly pink center.
American Wagyu is a cross between Japanese Wagyu – one of the most sought-after meats in the world – and high-quality continental breeds of cattle.
