Please answer this: Information: - The onion ("Allium cepa" L., from Latin "cepa" "onion"), also known as the bulb onion or common onion, is a vegetable and is the most widely cultivated species of the genus "Allium". - In everyday usage, a vegetable is any part of a plant that is consumed by humans as food as part of a savory meal. The term "vegetable" is somewhat arbitrary, and largely defined through culinary and cultural tradition. It normally excludes other food derived from plants such as fruits, nuts, and cereal grains, but includes seeds such as pulses. The original meaning of the word "vegetable", still used in biology, was to describe all types of plant, as in the terms "vegetable kingdom" and "vegetable matter". - The '' true '' pearl onion ( A. ampeloprasum var. sectivum or A. ampeloprasum ' Pearl - Onion Group ' ) is a close relative of the leek ( A. ampeloprasum var. porrum ) , and may be distinguished from common onions by having only a single storage leaf , similar to cloves of garlic . They are cultivated mostly in Germany , the Netherlands , and Italy ; usually in home gardens , although formerly on a commercial scale . They are mostly used for pickling . However , the majority of onions grown for pickling are common onions ( A. cepa ) . They are grown to a small size suitable for pickling by planting at a high density . Because of its uniquely small size and a taste sweeter than that of a common onion , it has also been used in dishes ranging from mid- 20th - century American casserole dishes such as succotash to sweetly flavored onion relishes in Indian cuisine . A pearl onion will take up to two years to become sufficiently sweet for sale ( such is the main reason it is less popular in America than other onions ) . Pearl onions are , however , a staple to the cuisine of Northern Europe , especially Sweden . - Allium sativum, commonly known as garlic, is a species in the onion genus, "Allium". What is the relationship between 'pearl onion' and 'vegetable'?

Please answer this: Information: - The Merritt Parkway (also known locally as "The Merritt") is a historic limited-access parkway in Fairfield County, Connecticut, the first of its kind. Designed for Connecticut's Gold Coast, the parkway is known for its scenic layout, its uniquely styled signage, and the architecturally elaborate overpasses along the route. It is designated as a National Scenic Byway and is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Signed as part of Route 15, it runs from the New York state line in Greenwich, where it serves as the continuation of the Hutchinson River Parkway, to the Housatonic River in Stratford, where the Wilbur Cross Parkway begins. Facing bitter opposition, the project took six years to build in three different sections, with the Connecticut Department of Transportation constantly requiring additional funding due to the area's high property value. The parkway was named for U.S. Congressman Schuyler Merritt. On May 19, 2010, the Merritt Parkway was named one of America's Most Endangered Historic Places. - The Bronx River Parkway (sometimes abbreviated as the Bronx Parkway) is a long parkway in downstate New York in the United States. It is named for the nearby Bronx River, which it parallels. The southern terminus of the parkway is at Story Avenue near Bruckner Expressway in the Bronx neighborhood of Soundview. The northern terminus is at the Kensico Circle in North Castle, Westchester County, where the parkway connects to the Taconic State Parkway and, via a short connector, New York State Route22 (NY22). Within the Bronx, the parkway is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation and is designated New York State Route907H (NY907H), an unsigned reference route. In Westchester County, the parkway is maintained by the Westchester County Department of Public Works and is designated unsigned County Route9987 (CR9987). - The Hutchinson River Parkway (also known as The Hutch) is a northsouth parkway in southern New York in the United States. It extends for from the massive Bruckner Interchange in the Throggs Neck section of the Bronx to the New YorkConnecticut state line at Rye Brook. The parkway continues south from the Bruckner Interchange as the Whitestone Expressway (Interstate678 or I-678) and north into Greenwich, Connecticut, as the Merritt Parkway (Connecticut Route 15). The roadway is named for English-born American religious leader Anne Hutchinson. - The Bruckner Expressway is a freeway in the borough of the Bronx in New York City. It carries Interstate278 (I-278) and I-95 (and formerly I-878) from the Triborough Bridge to the south end of the New England Thruway at the Pelham Parkway interchange. The highway follows a mostly northeastsouthwest alignment through the southern portion of the borough, loosely paralleling the course of the East River. It connects to several major freeways including the Bronx River Parkway, and at the Bruckner Interchange, it connects to the Cross Bronx Expressway, the Whitestone Expressway, and the Hutchinson River Parkway. - New York State Route 1A ( NY 1A ) was a north -- south state highway mostly located within New York City . It extended for just under 18 miles ( 29 km ) from an intersection with NY 27 near the Holland Tunnel in Lower Manhattan to an interchange with U.S. Route 1 ( US 1 ) just north of the New York City line in the Westchester County village of Pelham Manor . In Manhattan and the South Bronx , NY 1A used several surface streets to traverse the boroughs , including a handful of one - way roads . At the Bronx River , it began to follow limited - access highways , specifically the Bruckner Expressway and the Hutchinson River Parkway . The route was among those created when routes were first marked in New York City in 1934 . At the time , NY 1A ran from the Holland Tunnel to US 1 and the Pelham Parkway at Bronx Park . Over the next three decades , the route was gradually altered to accommodate changes in New York City 's street network , including the construction of new roads and the conversion of parallel two - way streets into one - way couplets . The designation was eliminated in the early 1960s . What is the relationship between 'new york state route 1a' and 'new york state department of transportation'?
