NYC WINTERIM 2019

Today was a regular work day - our second to last day! It's crazy to think about how fast this trip has flown by. After work, we quickly rushed back to the hotel to meet everyone before setting out to the Terez office. It was so interesting getting to talk with and ask questions to someone on the marketing team, a MBA graduate who works there with his sister, Harpeth Hall graduate, and one of the head designers. I think all the girls really enjoyed getting a tour of the office and seeing the ins and outs of a fashion company with domestic production, plus it was just super cute! After the meeting, we went to dinner at Dizzy's, a jazz club at the Lincoln Center. The food was great and so was the performance! We enjoyed a fantastic set and it was so cool getting to watch the live show over dinner and while looking over a spectacular view. With our last day of work tomorrow, we're all sad to leave, but excited to see our family and friends who we've missed! - Celeste

Today everyone went back to their internships after the long weekend. While we were not ecstatic to wake up early, we were all excited to return to our fantastic internships. After work, groups headed out to different parts of New York for shopping, sightseeing, and more until dinner. Most everyone just grabbed a quick dinner to be back in time for the Top of the Rock! At seven, we all headed to Rockefeller Center and had an entertaining 69-floor trip to the very tip top of the building. At the top, we had a fantastic view of New York and took lots of pictures. Later, we all met back at the hotel and snacked on some delicious cookies from Levain. While doing this, we talked about our highlights of the trip, which included many Broadway plays, amazing restaurants, cool museums, and incredible internships. This trip is coming to a close, and while we are all excited to see our friends and family back home, we are sad to leave this bustling city that we have grown to love, the Big Apple!

Today, we had a free museum day. Some of us went to the Museum of Natural History and got to see dinosaurs and a show at the planetarium. Others went to the Whitney to see Andy Warhol's artwork. For dinner, we went to a restaurant in Chinatown. They served us waaaaay to much food! After dinner, we walked to a place in Little Italy for the desserts and the cannolis were amazing!

We started off the day with a trip to the Museum of Modern Art! We got to see lots of famous works like Van Gogh's "Starry Night", Monet's Water Lilies, Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" and many, many more. After that, we had lunch at the Chelsea market, and had time for some shopping and poking around. All this was followed by a very chilly tour of the Highline with Richard! We learned all about the history and had some amazing views of the architecture in the area. Everyone split up for dinner and afternoon activities afterwards.  Fun day! 

Today we had a full work day, but were all off by around 4:30 and had until 6:20 to grab dinner before meeting at the hotel for the show. Some of us went to a burger place called Schnipper's which had amazing milkshakes. After dinner, we changed and met in the lobby. When we got to the theater, however, we realized that we were an hour early for a show that we had thought started at 7:00. While frustrating, it gave us some time to grab cheesecake at Junior's. After our second dessert, we met back at the Music Box theater for an amazing production of Dear Evan Hansen, during which most of us cried. We got back to the hotel at around 11:00 and were all tired but very moved by the show. Ready for a good night's sleep!

Today after work we all split up for a quick and early dinner before meeting back in the hotel lobby at 7:30. From there we walked to the NYC Public Library to look around and take pictures before it closed at 8. After walking around the library for a few minutes, we walked to Bryant Park where we got ready to ice skate! Once we had our skates on and were prepared to hit the ice, we headed to the outdoor rink and got started. Although our skating was short lived, it was so much fun and we only had a few falls! When everyone had had enough skating for one night, some girls headed back to the hotel while the others braved the cold with our chaperones to order waffles from a nearby waffle stand - they were delicious! Now we're getting ready for another day of work tomorrow!
