Artechouse used Love is Blind to its advantage
I went to Artechouse back in February. It was an immersive experience that allowed me to experience the creative power of AI. I went alone and was able to linger in each space and contemplate for an extended time. I look fondly on that time and plan to get over there to see more exhibits.…

I entered the dimly lit room hoping it would be exactly what I needed. It was the start of my session on the Spa Wave Table at Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards. I had been looking forward to trying this treatment since February, back when my plan had been thwarted when it was out of service.…
