With its wide variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options, and tourist attractions, there’s a little bit of everything for everyone in New York City, making it one of the most visited cities in the world. Many visitors come for the food, often all things “New York-style” like the pizza and bagels that the city […]

A Day at the Met
On the seventh day of our New York trip (May 14), our class took a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art as an all-day excursion. I was excited to visit this iconic tourist attraction because a friend of mine had recently visited New York and absolutely raved about the Met. Before exploring the exhibits, […]
Reflection on Publishing Meetings
This experience has been invaluable to me. I feel that careers in literature tend to carry some sort of enigmatic element to them, which I now think stems from the elusive nature of the job itself. I don’t think anyone in the field intends to gatekeep information about it; rather, it’s such a different job […]
How To Accidentally Leave Your Professor In The Whitney Museum on College Night
You’re going to start the evening at the wonderful Morgan Library and Museum and have such a thoroughly good time that when your professor suggests grabbing dinner and heading to the Whitney Museum, you happily and eagerly oblige. Get to Shake Shack with more than enough time to eat and get through the line, because […]
The Morgan Library and Museum
We visited The Morgan Library and Museum on Friday, May 12 for its free College Night. I was first drawn to Pierpont Morgan’s Study, which is connected to the Historic Library and Librarian’s Office through a Rotunda with an elaborate design. The study was somewhat gothic in architecture and design. The desk was made of […]
My Last Day in New York
Surprisingly, one of my favorite days was the last day we spent in New York, although I thoroughly enjoyed them all. I began the morning at an Italian bakery called Rosetta, which had some of the best matcha and chai lattes I’ve ever had. I wanted to go there every morning, but had to restrict […]
A Day in NYC: Wednesday 5/10/23
Though I know I’m not the only one who has written about this day in New York, it was one in which I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about many of the topics we covered in this course. Our first Wednesday in New York was full of activities and walking and […]
New York as a Palimpsest
Walking through New York City was at once invigorating, nostalgic, and a bit melancholic. Each borough we walked through (which, if I’m remembering correctly, were Brooklyn, Manhattan, and The Bronx) had its own rich history. New York seems to pride itself on recognizing and honoring the pain and hardship of its people while striving to […]
NYC: History and Modernity
There’s something so fascinating about all of the ways that the history of NYC shines through the modern city. Plaques all over the city provide insights into historical markers that may easily have been forgotten otherwise. Though improvements have been made to some buildings, there is often care taken to not remove the marks of […]
What I Learned in NYC
I learned so much during our trip, both about myself and the publishing industry. I never thought I’d be someone who enjoys living in a big city like NYC, but I really enjoyed my time there and look forward to going back. Between the thriving art scene and liberal thinking, I felt at home. I […]
