<The world's first makeup museum opens 💋>
Southwest of downtown Manhattan,
For the Meatpacking District
The world's first "Makeup Museum" has been created.
The opening special exhibition is
"PINK JUNGLE 1950s Makeup in America"
In the 1950s, Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo's favorite cosmetics and retro packages are on display, which is exciting.
The covers of vintage copies of the magazine "Ebony", which African-American women have longed for, 70 to 80 years ago are also lined up, and it looks fashionable now, over time.
There is one more new attraction that is typical of New York.

<Krispy Kreme's flagship store opens in Times Square! >
I was four months late in the corona pandemic,
On Broadway, 48th Street, Times Square, in the heart of Manhattan, New York
Today, the flagship of the popular donut shop "Krispy Kreme" has opened.
There is also a waterfall with donuts in the vast 4,500 square foot store.
It seems that you can make 4,500 donuts per hour.
The "Big Apple Donuts" limited to the Times Square store are also likely to become popular.
There is also a night pick-up window where you can eat freshly made squirrel donuts whenever you like 24 hours a day.
It was New York news that made me feel better after a long time.

~ REMEMBERING 9/11 ~
This day is the 19th time in New York.
Even if there is a global outbreak of infection
Even if the economy doesn't turn
Even in extreme weather around the world ...
The time will not change and will be carved accurately.
This year is the 19th time
This is the first virtual memorial service.
The time when the first plane crashed,
At 8:46 in the morning, everyone was silent on TV this year.

<Music is back in New York! >
In New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island), restaurants and bars have not yet been allowed "in-store dining", and eat out at table seats on the sidewalks and driveways outside the store. enjoying.
This style, called outdoor dining, seems to last until October 31st.
Live music is back there recently!
New York, the world's entertainment hub and a city that never sleeps, has been pretty much canceled since March, which is pretty good news.
Speaking of New York, jazz.
In this way, it may be only now that you can enjoy the wonderful performance of musicians at the store.
There is no doubt that music cheers New Yorkers and heals their hearts.
NEW YORK TOUGH.

I was longing for... MET reopened!
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (popular name: MET), which was closed on March 13, 2020, reopened on August 29th.
It was one of New York's leading museums, and a tourist spot in New York City, where tourists constantly come in every year. Last year, about 7 million people visited in 2019.
This year (2020) was the 150th anniversary of the opening of MET, but soon after 2020, the world was hit by this pandemic, and MET was closed.
It's been about 5 months since then... New York City has survived a number of crises, and the good news is that it is still carefully following the path of resumption!
The following guidelines were established for the resumption.
・Reservations are required for visitors in advance online.・A mask or Face-covering (covering the nose and mouth) is mandatory. ・Accommodation of 25% of visitors (approx.
・Visitors have a temperature measurement before entering the building ・When lining up outdoors, keep a social distance (a distance of about 2m from others) inside the building...etc.
In addition, hand sanitizers for disinfecting hands and fingers will be installed in various places in the building, and frequent sanitizing and cleaning will be performed in the building.
Even though the accommodation rate is 25%, it may not be crowded with tourists as it used to be, so it may be a great opportunity to relax and appreciate it! ?
It's a great pleasure to be able to see the museum in the coming autumn season.
The Cloisters Art Museum, the branch of MET, will reopen on September 12.
It is one step at a time, but New York City will surely make progress and resume ... Continue to Stay Strong!
Hello.
NY Harlem 18 years old I'm a coordinator for the New York Harlem edition, and the special program is finally on air.
■Tuesday, September 1, 2020 19:30-20:59
NHK-BS Premium "World Fureai Street Walk Special! Music Town"
Focusing on "music" from the past broadcasting, carefully selecting about 6 popular cities,
It's a luxurious digest special program where you can travel the world in 90 minutes.
Most churches in New York are still closed, partly because the first infection in NY was a cluster of suburban churches.
But gospel is not a song,
It's prayer, our life.
Now, how do the people in Harlem face Gospel now?
The continuation is a program.
A number of view spots in New York City.
This time, we will introduce Long Island City (Queens Ward), which can be accessed by subway and is easily accessible from the station!
Although it is not so popular as a tourist spot, this area has been rapidly gaining popularity as a residential area that has undergone redevelopment in recent years. Known as LIC (Long Island City), the boardwalk, which offers a superb view of the buildings of Manhattan and Midtown on the opposite bank, is a recommended view spot.
The boardwalk along the river is connected to a city park called Hunters Point South Park, and you can enjoy various things such as benches, playground equipment and a small beach (populated sandy beach).
At present, outdoor leisure is a must, and many people enjoy their own way even in hot weather. People who lie on the bench and rest, people who jog, people who play beach volleyball, etc.
Meanwhile, the blue sky gym in the field? Discover what is!
It seems that the people who have been training in the gym are gathering because the indoor gym is closed. Dumbbells, squats, kickboxing, push-ups... I found a New Yorker who was able to move physically according to the instructor's instructions. The sunlight is strong and the weather is hot on a midsummer day... It was hot, but it may be a luxury in a sense, outdoor training with a view of Manhattan! ?
Why not visit as a leisure spot during the day as well as a view spot after morning and evening.
The nearest station is "Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue Station" on Subway Line 7. About 6-7 minutes walk from the station to Hunters Point South Park.
There is also a NYC ferry ($2,75-) stop along the boardwalk. It takes time to travel between Queens and Brooklyn if you use the subway, but if you use a ferry, you can enjoy time and effort, as well as the feeling of sightseeing. You can enjoy the movement of the East River while cutting the wind on board.
Last month, I went to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah.
There are several routes from Las Vegas, but it is approximately one and a half hours by car.
Due to the influence of corona, the park is vacant compared to the usual summer vacation, and although it is a sightseeing outside, many people wear masks.
Most of the cars we visit for sightseeing are in Utah, and the neighboring state of Nevada in Las Vegas.
It was a license plate in the southwest, such as Arizona and California, which are relatively close.
Various measures were taken everywhere in the park, such as signboards to prevent the spread of corona infection, closing of toilets and facilities.
[Current State of New York City/Subway]
The New York City subway is known for its 24-hour operation. The number of passengers decreased sharply from the latter half of March (after the announcement of NY on Pause/home waiting order), but from the beginning of June, the number of customers gradually returned.
Although the vehicle is being disinfected and cleaned, what is the actual situation? ? I'm sure some of you will be interested.
In response to this pandemic, the MTA operating and operating the subway is currently promoting the "13 Point Plan" as a plan to protect the safety of passengers and employees.
MTA "13 point plan"
https://new.mta.info/co…
Part of the content;
●Providing masks (basically, each passenger must have Face Covering)
●Installation of hand sanitizer in the station yard ●Increasing contactless (OMNY) ticket payment system ●Stopping daily 1:00AM-5:00AM, disinfecting and cleaning the vehicle, continuing…etc.
What you actually saw and felt was...
◆ There is a social distance mark on the platform ◆ The number of passengers getting on and off is less than half of the usual number, and it is not in a situation where other people are sitting next to the sitting person ◆ There is a hand sanitizer inside the station Installed ◆Before the ticket gate, there is a sign that "Face Covering is required"
Looking at the stations and cars that were once crowded on the same day and time, it seems that few people are required to move by subway at this time.
Basic precautions when riding... Face Covering, frequent hand washing and disinfection, social distance... Don't forget the etc!
On August 5, our guide went to Grand Canyon National Park.
Normally, the booth at the entrance of the park pays the entrance fee to the attendant (ranger), but in order to reduce contact as much as possible, payment of the entrance fee is limited to vending machines near the booth. I heard that
In addition, in some parts of Arizona, it is now mandatory to wear masks outside and in public places to prevent the spread of infection, and the grounds of Grand Canyon National Park are also within that range.
However, maybe some people do not know the news, and according to the guide, about 60% of people were wearing masks for sightseeing.
The photo is Mercer point. Enjoy the same grandeur!
[The American Museum of Natural History is scheduled to reopen on September 9]
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (commonly known as MET) was reopened on Saturday, August 29, announced at the resumption of Phase 4 in New York City. For New Yorkers, outdoor eating and drinking and activities are becoming “New Normal,” but it's true that I miss museums and museums.
Following MET, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) announces that it will resume!
Open to the public on Wednesday, September 9th, and open to members on Wednesday, September 2nd.
Upon resumption, the following guidelines were announced.
・Capacity 25% (1/4 of normal)
・Opening schedule: Wednesday-Sunday 5 days a week, 10:00AM-5:30PM
・Advance reservations required online ・Face Covering is required for visitors…etc.
Also, the staff may check the temperature and work.
This is a great news when you want to make use of museums, etc. from September to autumn.
I would like to continue to be careful and act in the spirit of "New York Tough" so that everyone can safely and safely carry out indoor activities!
https://www.amnh.org/
The American Museum of Natural History is a large museum located on the 81st side of Central Park West. It became the stage of the movie "Night Museum" and became a famous spot in Japan and popular with tourists. The subway station with the museum name "81st-Museum of Natural History" is also directly connected, making it easy to access.

About two months after the reopening of Arches National Park, our staff visited on July 20th to check the current status of Arches National Park. As you can see from the photo, although there are some tourists at each tourist attraction, I felt that it was significantly less than this summer vacation.
Perhaps the cause is the decrease in the number of tourists from overseas who would have come to sightseeing every year, and the decrease in the number of tourists from the distant places such as the east coast within the same United States.
However, as you can see in the picture, the wilderness of the United States is still there and we are waiting for your visit when the situation someday ends.
In addition, regarding the update information in the same Grand Circle area, the closure of Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon managed by Navajo people has been extended until August 16. Since the extension measures have been taken approximately every 2-3 weeks since the closure in March, it is possible that this may change in the future. In addition, we will inform you if there is an update.
