Salmagundi Club

The Salmagundi Club is a club for artists and people in the art scene. Located at at 47 Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, it serves as a watering hole for artists. The club often holds art exhibitions, art classes as well as art auctions.

Founded in 1871, it is one of the oldest and most prestigious art clubs in the world. The club occupies a building that is even older than itself, a mansion built in 1853 for Irad Hawley. The bulding was designated a historical landmark of New York City in 1969, and was added into the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
