Eli Zabar
Although the name Zabar is synonymous with smoked fish and the quintessential New York brunch, Eli Zabar envisioned a different kind of food store than his family's Upper West Side landmark delicatessen. Inspired by the food halls and markets of London and Paris, Eli has become an institution on Manhattan's Upper East Side, directly across from the store and home in which he grew up.

Wave Hill
Plantsmanship, aesthetic sensibility, and human experience of the natural environment are the horticultural emphasis of Wave Hill's 28 acres of gardens, grounds, and woodland. The resulting abundance is renowned for its intimacy of scale and carefully cultivated serendipity. If you don't live close enough to a body of water to enjoy water gardens, then building a water garden in your backyard can create this relaxing atmosphere.
