Bushwick Triangle in Brooklyn! 🎷✨ It's an atmospheric jazz club that has become one of the hidden gems of the New York music scene.

The name comes from a triangular street intersection in the area, in a former workshop or warehouse - the exact details are shrouded in a hint of urban legend, and the club itself was founded in the 2010s, when Brooklyn was experiencing a jazz music renaissance, especially in the Williamsburg and Bushwick neighborhoods. The venue has become a mecca for the new wave of jazz, where classical sounds mix with hip-hop, electronica and improvisation. The club is known for its intimate atmosphere, great acoustics and eclectic lineup of artists - from classic jazz to experimental improvisation. This is where young artists test new ideas. It is said that names such as Kamasi Washington and Robert Glasper have dropped in for spontaneous jam sessions....

"Canadian robins are the birds that say, “Tweet, eh” and smell like Tim Hortons donuts."

The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is one of the most recognizable birds in North America. It is a thrush in the thrush family (Turdidae) and a close relative of European blackbird (Turdus merula). It is also a symbol of spring in the United States and Canada, as its return marks the end of winter.

It is the oldest lighthouse in the United States, which is more than 250 years old. It was built in 1764 and is still in use.

Cape Sunion is the farthest point of mainland Greece. In ancient times it was considered a sacred place; from its steep cliffs the mythical king of Athens, Theseus, thinking that his son Theseus had been killed in battle with the Minotaur after seeing the black sails on his ship, threw himself into the sea (hence the name Aegean), on the walls of the ruins of the ancient temple of Poseidon, which rises on the cliffs from where you can enjoy spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and where Lord Byron engraved his name.

Przylądek Sunion jest najdalej wysuniętym punktem Grecji kontynentalnej. W czasach starożytnych był uważany za święte miejsce, z jego stromych klifów mityczny król Aten Egeusz, myśląc, że jego syn Tezeusz zginął w walce z Minotaurem po tym, jak zobaczył czarne żagle na jego statku, rzucił się do morza (stąd nazwa Morza Egejskiego), na ścianach ruin starożytnej świątyni Posejdona, która wznosi się na klifach, skąd można podziwiać spektakularne widoki na Morze Egejskie i gdzie Lord Byron wyrył swoje imię.
