I was in New York once, for 6 hours I think. I was at a summer camp in the area and they took us for a day trip. But it wasn’t very memorable. I think we ate at Buba Gump Shrimp.  So I pretty much consider myself to have never been to NYC. I must have been 16 at the time. But my parents are from New Haven and Boston, and my dad went to medical school in the Bronx, so I have heard a lot about New York. But not just from my parents, but also from pop culture. There are hundreds of movies set in New York, songs that talk about New York, musicals that dance through New York, and plays set in New York. I used to giggle over the line in Our Town about how “people ride in a whole in the ground”, and one of my favorite song is “Another Hundred People”. New York is a busy, lively city, which is getting more expensive by the minute. It is the heart of tourism and fashion, and big spectacle oriented theater.

I am doing this trip for a lot of reasons, The first is GOING TO NYC TO SEE THEATER!!! Yup, I’m excited. My goal for this trip is to take advantage of as much as I can. I am excited to see a new city, to see theater, and to spend my break traveling with friends. I also have a thing for taking pictures… so there’s that. I know there is going to be a great itinerary planned for us, and basically I plan to be there for that, but outside of that I keep looking up fashion, food and smaller/ experimental theater. I don’t know how much of what I am looking into will actually happen, but I am confident that no matter what it is going to be a great trip.
