Taste

What if we could one day feel things we couldn’t see, or taste sounds? As strange as that question sounds, it could be reality according to David Eagleman.

Only few events in one person’s life change how they see the world with their senses. The trip I made to Anna Maria Island last summer was one of these moments. The multiple sights, smells, tastes, and the sound and feel of the beach give you a whole new sense of the world around you. It tells you about the people who live there, what they eat, what they do in their free time, and so much more. Our five senses opens us up to so many different things that impact our lives, and my trip to Anna…

One of the best places to go when your Friday night plans fall through is 600 Wellwood Ave, Lindenhurst, Long Island. When my friends and I arrive I can read “Applebee’s” in big, bold, red letters from across the parking lot. It’s like a ghost town until you reach the corner of the strip of businesses.
