"Memory Lane"

I am so glad to have picked this course because my New York experience was unlike any other. I do not imagine ever taking another course as awesome as this one. For 7 weeks, I looked forward to my Friday adventure where I yearned, learned, and burned! Now I'll be spending my Fridays at work. BORING! I made new friends and visited so many interesting places, and learned so much about NYC's history. I ate a variety of delicious food, and tried my first Pickle Back. Our Professors were so cool and down to earth that I'd like to clone them! I have pictures and great memories that I will forever cherish. I was raised in Manhattan, and have always been comfortable there. Riding the subway isn't new or different for me, but I had never visited the Transit Museum. Standing in an antique train was so cool! I visit Flushing Meadow Park every 20th of July, but I had never been in the Queens Museum. That Panorama was awesome! I have driven across the Brooklyn Bridge hundreds of times, but I had never walked it. My toe blisters are still healing, lol! Spanish Harlem was a first for me, and I intend to visit again soon. I have spent many summer days in Central Park, but I had never been in the Conservatory Garden. It was beautiful! Lucian Freud's art was as disturbing as Camilo Jose Vergara's was captivating. While this course expanded my education, it was also greatly entertaining. It was exceptional, and I am lucky for the wonderful experience.
