I am in love with my photos. Jessie did an awesome on the tour and an amazing job with photographing the day. I added the black and white option but didn’t realize how fantastic they would be. A highlight of my trip to NYC. Thrilled with the quantity and quality of the pictures. Everything I was hoping for when I booked and more. Dolores H.

This activity was so much fun!! It is definitely worth booking if you are considering. Not only do you get an endless amount of great, high quality, pictures, you also get a tour of NYC. We ended up finding our new favorite area once we ended in Dumbo. We spent the rest of the evening enjoying great food and drinks at the rooftop market our tour ended at, we wouldn’t have ever known the market existed! Shea C.

it definiitely made me step out of my comfort zone, but that's a beauty of it. New York is awesome city and every part of it is hugely different. Definitely a place to come back!

Leanne was a wonderful guide through Chinatown for our photo tour. Her eye is amazing and she really showed us how to take great photos.

Top Experience and Pictures!!! - It was great to do this tour of SoHo with Leanne. She is very professional and opens up new perspectives. Thanks Leanne and see you next time

I feel I learned a ton from her, and she led us through multiple areas for photography opportunities. Highly recommended even if you're seasoned pro!

We spent two half days and one full day with Leanne in September. We were able to explore New York in ways we wouldn't have been able to on our own.

• Watching New York Watch the Eclipse

On Monday afternoon, people across the city did something unusual — they paused to behold something bigger than themselves (that could maybe also blind them). The solar eclipse began in New York just after 2 p.m., and people gathered outside of museums, in parks, and on the waterfront to watch. Some had scrambled to find eclipse glasses last-minute , while others had been prepared for months. Some even used the old cereal-box trick. By 3:25 p.m., 90 percent of the sun will be covered by the moon — the peak for New York.

We watched New York as they watched:

Rare is the doctor office visit that’s free of frustrations. All too often, you find yourself sitting in the waiting room for 45 minutes after you’ve already waited months for your appointment. And after all that waiting, the care you receive may be rushed and impersonal.

Your first appointment at One Medical is a far cry from this experience. One Medical is a national primary care practice that provides accessible, high-quality health care, same- and next-day remote or in-person appointments, and a membership that includes 24/7 virtual care services. Its approach to health care is modern, convenient, and streamlined, from its user-friendly app experience to its relaxing offices.

With One Medical, I’ve loved the thoughtful in-person care and the ease with which I can access providers for all my different concerns. If you’re curious about the One Medical experience, continue reading for an overview of the membership and an office tour.

What’s included in a One Medical membership?

With a One Medical membership, you get:

• 24/7 access to virtual care, including on-demand video chats for urgent concerns, provider messaging, and messaging-based “Treat Me Now” for common concerns like cold and flu, acne and other skin concerns, STI testing, constipation, and more.
• A robust app that allows you to book appointments, renew your prescription, access your health records, and more.
• Easy booking for same- and next-day in-person or remote appointments at hundreds of offices across the U.S .
• Learn more about what’s included in a One Medical membership, and what’s billed separately.

What services does One Medical provide?

You can receive care for a variety of conditions and concerns: wellness and prevention, everyday care for a wide spectrum of illnesses, chronic conditions, children and family care, sexual health, mental health, and LGBTQIA+ services.

Many offices also provide full onsite lab support, meaning you can get vaccines and lab work done, including COVID-19, sexual health, cholesterol and diabetes screenings.

Like regular doctor’s offices, One Medical accepts insurance for in-person and pre-scheduled remote visits as well as labs. It accepts health plans from most insurance carriers as well as Medicare. If you don’t have insurance, you can still use One Medical’s services by paying out of pocket per visit.

How much does a One Medical membership cost?

Amazon Prime members can sign up for One Medical for just $9 per month, or $99 a year—a $100 discount from the regular membership. You can also add up to five additional family members to your plan for just $6 per month, or $66 per year, per family member.

If you’re not a Prime member , the annual membership is $199. If you are experiencing financial hardship and would like to become a member, you may be eligible for financial assistance .

What it’s like to visit a One Medical office

One of my favorite parts about One Medical is the in-person office experience because appointments are easy to book (and reschedule or cancel, if needed) and I never feel rushed or dismissed during my time there.

I usually prioritize in-person visits for my annual wellness visit, paps and women’s health needs, vaccines and lab tests, and injuries—anything that would benefit from a physical meeting with my provider. If you have a time-sensitive need, Urgent Video Chat is a great option for a quick connection with a provider for advice. You can also message with a provider through the “Treat Me Now” feature on the One Medical app.

I recently visited the One Medical NoMad office, one of 17 One Medical locations in the New York City area. Here’s what it was like.

Upon entering the office, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist. He, along with other One Medical staff I’ve met in the past, displayed his preferred pronouns—an inclusive touch.

The waiting area is beautiful and inviting: warm, filled with light, and clean. Compared to many traditional offices, One Medical’s are modern and tasteful.

I felt very comfortable lounging on the couches and browsing coffee table books that you’re more likely to find in a hotel lobby.

There were also informational cards for Amazon Pharmacy , which I glance through to understand a potential pharmacy option.

A unique part of the office visit is that your primary care provider—not a medical assistant—will come to the waiting room to bring you directly to your room. One Medical’s primary care providers include doctors of medicine (MD), doctors of osteopathic medicine (DO), nurse practitioners (NP), and physician assistants (PA).

The rooms themselves are neat and spacious.

Down the hall, I met a phlebotomist who was conducting some lab work. She smiled and cracked jokes as she swiftly prepared the patient and drew his blood. Nearby, candies and juice boxes sat waiting for anyone who needed a little sugar pick-me-up after their bloodwork.

Lab results are available directly in the One Medical app, and your provider will follow up with any guidance based on the results. If you have additional questions, you can easily reach back out to the provider or medical team through the app.

Meanwhile, the rest of the office is also thoughtfully designed, down to the bathrooms, which have free menstrual and sexual health products.

Having visited a few One Medical offices, I can confirm that the experience is stunningly consistent across locations. The office interior is calm and relaxing, the care team are exceptionally kind yet professional, and I know exactly what to expect next or where to find my treatment plans and results afterward.

Is One Medical worth it?

One Medical is 100% worth it if you value time, space, quality, and convenience. I can usually find an appointment with my provider within days—not months—and I feel truly cared for by the One Medical team.

Its technology-powered approach means everything you need is in the app, including secure messaging, available providers and appointments near you, bill and payment management, and organized records of everything from lab results and medications to health trends and vitals.

Thanks to One Medical, it’s easier than ever for me to take control of my health.

• What kinds of visits does One Medical offer? One Medical offers both in-person office visits (non-urgent and urgent) and remote visits.

Virtual care is available nationally.
• Can you visit any One Medical location? Yes, as a One Medical member you can visit any one of the hundreds of One Medical locations bookable through the app or website. If you are visiting an office while traveling, please first check to see what is covered by your insurance plan. Find an office near you .
• Does One Medical accept insurance? One Medical accepts health plans from most insurance carriers as well as Medicare. Some of the more popular plans accepted are listed on the Insurance page , but since the list periodically changes, you should call One Medical if you don’t see your plan. One Medical believes that quality health care should be accessible, so if you have a high-deductible health plan or are not insured, the company also offers affordable options for working together.
• Do you need an appointment for lab tests? No appointment is necessary for a lab, and walk-in lab services are available; however, a discussion with a provider is needed in order for the test to be ordered. After a provider orders lab work for you, you can simply walk in to the office during lab hours to have a trained on-site staff to draw blood and collect samples for diagnostic tests. If you have questions about what tests are covered by your insurance plan, One Medical recommends you check with your insurance company. After your test, your labs will be processed through a third-party facility. Once returned to One Medical, a team member will notify you of the test results, along with their interpretation of the report and advice on next steps.

How the Key Bridge Collapsed in Baltimore: Maps and Photos

By Weiyi Cai ,  Agnes Chang ,  Lauren Leatherby ,  Lazaro Gamio ,  Leanne Abraham and Scott Reinhard

On Tuesday, a major bridge in Baltimore collapsed into the water seconds after it was struck by a cargo ship, sending vehicles on the bridge into the river below. The ship lost power and issued a mayday call shortly before it hit the bridge.

The ship, a 948-foot-long cargo vessel called Dali, was about a half hour into its journey toward Colombo, Sri Lanka, when it hit a main pillar of the bridge. All crew members are safe, according to the ship’s owners.

Follow our live coverage .

A mayday call from the ship gave officials enough time to stop traffic at both ends of the bridge. The waters where the bridge collapsed are about 50 feet deep. By Tuesday morning, six construction workers who had been fixing potholes on the bridge remained missing as divers and other emergency workers on boats and helicopters continued to search for them. Two others had been rescued, and one was in the hospital.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge was opened in 1977 and carried more than 12.4 million vehicles last year. The bridge was one of the three major ways to cross the Patapsco River and formed part of Baltimore’s beltway.

The Port of Baltimore is a major trade hub that handled a record amount of foreign cargo last year. It is an especially important destination — the nation’s largest by volume last year — for deliveries of cars and light trucks.

Overall, Baltimore was the 17th biggest port in the United States in 2021, ranked by total tons, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The bridge collapse brought marine traffic there to a standstill, with seven cargo or tanker ships stranded in the harbor as of Tuesday afternoon.

Gov. Wes Moore declared a state of emergency for Maryland and said that his office was in close communication with Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. transportation secretary. The White House issued a statement saying that President Biden had been briefed on the collapse.

Jesse McCartney Reveals How He Really Feels About His Hit 'Beautiful Soul' 20 Years After Its Release (Exclusive)

The singer released his latest EP 'All's Well' on April 5 and is kicking off a 24-city U.S. tour on the 12

Cindy Ord/Getty

Twenty years may have gone by, but Jesse McCartney still remembers hearing his debut song on the radio for the very first time.

The singer, who turns 37 on Tuesday, April 9 and released a new EP called All’s Well on Friday, April 5, tells PEOPLE that “Beautiful Soul” is the tune that changed his life. 

“I remember the first time I heard that song, I was coming out of my SAT exam and I heard it on the radio on Z100,” he says, “and I remember thinking I didn't have to worry about what was going on with my SATs because I had made it!”

Paul Hawthorne/Getty

The song, which was released in 2004, climbed international charts. In the United States, the track peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, surpassed only by McCartney’s “Leavin’,” which hit No. 10 four years later. 

“It was sort of the beginning of this career that would transpire, and I remember traveling the world and going overseas and people that didn't speak English knew the song and knew my name,” McCartney recalls. “I couldn't communicate with them linguistically, but through music we could, and it was really this special, crazy moment.”

And while hearing his song on the radio for the first time made his exam score seem inconsequential, McCartney did in fact fair “pretty good.” 

“I mean, I did OK. I think I took it twice. I think the first time I kind of bombed it. I think the second time I got a 1210 or something, 1220. I was never an academic, but I did really well in English. I was not great at math,” he says with a laugh. 

Sam Dameshek

Fast forward two decades, however, and McCartney is still “rocking with” the platform and the career that he says “Beautiful Soul” helped launch. His latest single has the cheeky title “Make a Baby ( feat. Yung Gravy )", and he's gearing up for a 24-city U.S. tour beginning April 12.

McCartney says the song’s inspiration is just as the title suggests, and he and his wife, Katie Peterson , are beginning to dabble with the idea of expanding their own family.

“ We got married two years ago , and I think that is the next step for us. But I mean, the song title was just inspired by trying to make a baby and how that works, where you're forced to perform at all hours of the day,” he says. “But we're not pregnant. We're certainly going down that road and talking about it.” 

Presley Ann/Patrick McMullan/Getty

“Make a Baby” is included as one of the five tracks on All’s Well , which McCartney describes as a “vintage and sexy” EP.

“It was just nice to do pop music like that again, which I haven't done in a really long time. And as far as the title goes, there is a song on the EP called 'The Well,' and it just sort of was a play on that because it's probably one of the more morose songs on the record, but I think I just wanted to leave the listener with sort of a redemptive touch, which is that all is well despite that song and despite the rest of the project,” McCartney says.

"And after 20 years of just making music, it just felt like a really nice, subtle, ‘Hey, all is still good. All is well.’”
