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.

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.’”

I toured Google's new $2.1 billion office in NYC. Here are the 15 coolest things I saw.

• In February, Google unveiled its New York City headquarters at Hudson Square. 
• Madeline Park visited the brand-new office and felt it was like an all-inclusive wellness resort.
• Here are 15 of the coolest things about the office that stood out to her.

Google welcomed employees to its brand new $2.1 billion office in February in the Hudson Square neighborhood of New York City.

Called St. John's Terminal, the building is 12 stories high and was built on top of a rail terminal from the 1930s.

My friend, who works at Google, invited me to check out the new building as their guest during opening week.

Here are the coolest amenities I saw that make this office feel almost like an all-inclusive wellness resort.

1. The Great Hall

Once I got past security, I was shocked by the sheer amount of space in The Great Hall work lounge.

The lounge has super tall ceilings, cozy furniture, and a café where you can grab drinks like espresso, matcha, coffee, and chai with breakfast — all for free.

Related stories

I got an Americano, a mini egg salad sandwich, a mini ham and Swiss sandwich, and a smoked lake trout tartine.

2. The fun furniture

The chairs, in particular, caught my eye. They were super vibrant and playful.

I did a quick Google Image search and discovered that the furniture might be a mix of designer and retail. There's a nearly identical-looking bulldog stool online that goes for under $90, and the yellow chair looks like a piece called "Klara," made by Spanish designer and architect Patricia Urquiola.

3. The fully-equipped gym

An entire section of the building is dedicated to the Recreation Center. It has amenities like a spin studio, yoga room, martial arts studio, a separate space for personal training, and even a coach's office for instructors.

4. The spin studio

Google offers weekly spin classes in the private spin studio.

5. The yoga studio

The natural wood yoga studio is right around the corner from the gym and has a calming glow of light.

6. This foot-washing station

The foot-washing station has a little bench you can sit down on, along with fresh towels.

7. The martial arts studio

Next to the yoga studio, there is a fully padded and matted martial arts studio.

8. The massage room and recharge room

The rooms have various percussive and compression therapy devices.

9. "The Shop" of Google merch

Next to the lobby café, there's a dedicated shop full of Google, Android, and YouTube merch. The fitting room alone is larger than the size of my college dorm room.

The items at the store ranged from T-shirts ($30), jackets (~$100), tumblers ($15), and children's books.

10. Google-branded pet accessories

There were even pet accessories branded with the Google logo.

11. The micro kitchens

Google's snack stations come equipped with a $20,000 La Marzocco espresso machine for coffee snobs, a $6,000 digital coffee brewer for the non-coffee snobs, a pile of fresh fruit, and drawers full of snacks.

12. The cafeterias and free food

The actual cafeterias at Google's new office are the ultimate benefit and charm of working here. This cafeteria, which is one of many, is a fully vegan kitchen with a beautiful interior and unlimited, sophisticated vegan dishes.

For lunch, I ate a whipped ricotta and beet tartine, a celeriac schnitzel with sauce Gribiche, and sweet potato kimbap with a side of berries. It was all vegan and very delicious.

13. The bathrooms

The bathrooms are an amenity in itself. Google's 12th-floor all-gender bathroom has a view of the NYC skyline with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Each stall is equipped with feminine product dispensers and full-length mirrors (but alas, no bidet).

14. The coworking spaces

The best part of the office was looking into all the coworking spaces.

Google says it designed the office so that teams are assigned to different "neighborhoods" or spaces in the office — employees don't have assigned desks, so there are a lot of communal and coworking spaces.

Each coworking space is decorated with a theme. I can see how the expansive ceilings and beautifully designed spaces inspire employees to leave their homes and come into the office.

15. The view of the Hudson River

And finally, the view of the Hudson River from the building is breathtaking.

The Google office at St. John's Terminal is so big that I didn't get to explore all of it.

It was opening week, and already the office was bustling with employees and visitors like me.

Although there were a lot of people, Google seemed to have created enough space dedicated for just about everything to bring up the collaborative energy, efficiency, and even good mood of the employees.

If I worked here, I would want to show up every day.

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.
