First Semester- Only in New York Moments!

As we end our first semester let us reflect on our ONLY in New York moments!

-Reading The Post on the subway as a story for The Post is in the making.
The Post

-Realizing that, in an emergency, the most helpful neighbors would be those located in the local (downstairs) bar.

-On one subway trip we would experience the following: a fantastic guitar player, a ten minute sermon on "Crack to Christ". Switch trains. See the world's saddest clown lost trying to climb the stairs with extra long shoes (had to go kind of sideways). Get on the train. A father explaining to his five year old son what every subway line means in NYC. Then see our guitar player again.

-Best kept NYC secret... Halloween is bigger than New Years!

-When walking down the street hear a kid yell from his apartment the Yankees score to his friend across the street.

-Met a guy named Chris the Butcher. Asked him for some fish.

-Stairs would become my worst enemy yet I can't avoid them.

-See a world premiere avant garde opera by guy who wrote music for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and experience an uncomfortable audience response as people leave in throngs, clap with great disappointment yet the composer keeps coming out for an encore. Expect to hear goatee-sporting guy and his intellectual-looking date next to us to rant and rave about how great it was but instead hear them whisper, "Well that sure sucked."
Tan Dun

-See a world premiere short film with hoola-hooping dancers about an expressway with a full orchestra rockn' out in sequence to the movie and dancers. Amazing!
Sufjan Stevens.

-Honk your horn receive a $250.00 ticket. Oh, wait...there's another honking driver outside my window!

-We've screamed like an eight year olds because:
The Arcade Fire show on Randall's Island was a jump around good time with city lights as their background.
Arcade Fire

-The Macy's parade balloons really do fly through the city streets on Thanksgiving.

-New York at Christmas Battles
"The Grinch Stole Christmas The Musical" vs. "The Radio City Christmas Spectacular"
Rockefeller Christmas Tree vs. All the other amazing trees
Christmas window tourist gazers vs. New Yorkers who need to Christmas shop
