NYC WINTERIM 2019

Today was a work day! All of the girlies went our separate ways to be strong, independent, working women and continue the projects we started last week. For example, at MAC Presents, we started reaching out to the vendors and workers that we’ll use for Khalid’s party as well as started making “One Sheets” which are basically hype pages so companies can have a snapshot of potential artists for partnerships. Then, we all had a free night for dinner where we utilized it to try new restaurants, meet up with friends, see local theatre, or for some of us finishing college applications :/ It’s nice to have our own time to explore the city individually and it will be hard when we have to leave and get back in the school routine.

Today we had a bus tour of New York with our guide, Richard. He led us all around the city with some of our favorite highlights being the house from Friends, beautiful churches, and Alexander Hamilton's house. After the guided bus tour, we went to Grand Central Terminal for a Shake Shack lunch and to explore. We loved walking around the terminal and seeing the beautiful constellation ceiling. After touring Grand Central, we had time to go shopping and sight see until our fabulous dinner at Taboon. After such a great meal, we are all ready for bed. Below are some pictures of our favorite places we viewed today...

This morning we traveled north to the Met Cloister. Richard led us through and showed us what stain glass windows he worked on. After exploring the Cloister and many photos later, we went to lunch at the New Leaf down the hill from the museum. Next we went hopped on the bus and headed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Mr. Womack gave us a personal tour of some of the highlights in the museum. He was almost got kicked out for not having a "lecture pass." Who knew?  Many of us went to the Plaza after exploring the Met.

Today was our third full day in New York! We began our days at our internships and ended with some Juniors' Cheesecake. We were on our own for dinner: some girls went down to the Soho/Tribeca area for French food, while others stayed near-by and got burgers. Then we walked down to Broadway to see Kinky Boots, with Mrs Biegl leading the way in a pair of her own. The show was amazing and everybody loved it- especially the cutout poster where Mr Womack became Lola. Then we were treated to some cheesecake from Juniors on the way home.

Today was a day where we did not stop. We woke up, ran to work, and did not stop running until we finished at four. As we continued our nonstop journey, we inevitably ran into some problems. While trying to get dinner, a bunch of us went all the way to Chinatown to eat at this highly acclaimed restaurant. As we get there, we were quickly turned away since we had one too many people. Although we were upset, we went into another restaurant close by. This was probably the best restaurant where we have ever eaten. So, if we have learned anything today, we would have to say that, even if something does not initially work out, there are usually other (even better) options ahead. We have all learned the valuable lesson of perseverance today, and we are excited to use this knowledge for the continuation of Winterim. Thank you and keep on truckin' LC and Lydia

Today was our first day on the job! After a quick breakfast in the hotel, everyone headed off to their internships all over the city. After a day's work, we went out on the town, visited St. Patrick's Cathedral, and then had dessert in Mrs. Biegle's room. It was a great day and the start of an incredible Winterim journey.

We're Here!
