Spring is Here! (If Only For A Moment)

Surely this must be one of the reasons why we love NYC; because it’s full of exciting, unexpected and romantic moments. Which is what you could call the latest event at the Openhouse Gallery in Nolita: NYC’s first ever indoor pop up park appropriately named Park Here. Though not really a park but an art installation that looks like a park (meaning bring the kids but leave the ball at home) it has grass, trees, rocks and even piped in birds chirping, though all completely artificial. —And while we understand this doesn’t beat the real thing, considering the nearest patch of green is a plane ride away it’s a welcome reprieve from the harsh realities of January. Park Here will be open to the public free of charge from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day through Jan. 30. During the week, there’s yoga and pilates, croquet, bocce ball, movie nights, and local food vendors setting up shop. But hurry because the dream ends this Sunday.

Speakitaly NYC

SPEAKITALY NYC offers stimulating and entertaining lessons for children 0 to 16 years through a wide combination of activities based on the communicative approach anchored in the Common European Framework of Reference: active learning (group work, role plays, etc.) and practice exercises aimed to improve listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Kids will start speaking and using Italian in a very natural way.&nbsp; Small classes capped at 6 students to make sure each one gets the needed attention and facilitate learners' progress.&nbsp; Our method is driven by a didactic method that is the result of constant updates, professional certifications and more than 10 years of experience in working with non-native speakers from different native languages and levels of knowledge. Our aim is to develop a range of Italian language skills while improving accuracy that will enable the students and participants to interact without stress or feeling rushed. We want to help those in the community really embrace not only the true culture in Italy but the Italian culture within New York City&hellip; Who doesn&rsquo;t love what Italy represents in the kitchen, in history &amp; in the arts? Speakitaly wants to support multilingual families who want to learn a new language or pass along their ancestor&rsquo;s heritage and culture. Raffaella, the founder said: "We see language awareness and intercultural sensitivity as the milestones for an inclusive society. Italian, like all other languages, is an enrichment and a growth in every way. Vi aspettiamo!"
