Noted for its quality materials, use of color, and elegant and femininine designs, Escada successfully widened its clientele and by 1981 established a name in many categories of womenswear, specializing in formal wear and knitwear. In 1982, the company opened their first store in the United States on Fifth Avenue in New York City and opened its first store in Asia the following year in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong boutique became a worldwide landmark, marked for its use of gold in the store's design. <br> Though debuting in America in 1982, Escada did not gain national prominence until 1984 when the leading fashion and women's wear magazine Vogue published an entire edition devoted to promoting Escada. Its worldwide prominence led its 1986 IPO on the FSE to be highly anticipated and Escada's debut on the stock exchange marked the headlines in hundreds of major newspapers worldwide. 30 years later, Escada has established itself as one of the largest fashion houses in the world. Escada?s headquarters are based in Munich, Germany and Escada?s collections are available in nearly 500 locations in 60 countries. In the United States, the company has 16 boutiques in Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Texas, and Washington. Escada has opened several larger stores carrying various fashion lines including Escada, Escada Sport, and Couture and Accessories. The largest of these stores is located in Vancouver, Canada, and is 16,000 square feet. <br> Like many fashion houses, Escada also has a line of fragrances for both women and men. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

Opening in 1961 on Bleecker Street, this Greenwich Village fixture has hosted some of the most pivotal moments in folk and rock history. The mid-1970s saw the venue become the launching pad for Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, drawing performances from Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, T-Bone Burnett, Mick Ronson, and Ronee Blakely among countless others. Though it briefly operated under a different name during that same era, the club eventually returned to its original identity. Winter nights here carry that classic Greenwich Village energy—intimate stages and packed rooms full of music lovers huddled together while the city gets cold outside. Fred Weintraub's vision for the space continues to define live music in lower Manhattan.

The building depicted above is New York City's third City Hall. Constructed from 1803-1812, it was designed by John McComb, Jr. and Joseph-Francois Mangin. The building has undergone many restorations during its almost two hundred-year history. The original copper roof of City Hall was installed in 1811; it was replaced in 1853, and five years later, due to fire damage, replaced again.
