Spring Break to New York!

Hello Everyone,
Spring Break is a great time to relax and get away from the studying! This break I was given the opportunity to travel to New York with the Global Studies class offered at SMSU. This trip would focus around our theatre and culinology program, although a mix of majors participated. One of the most memorable things we did on the trip was to see the Broadway production of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” starring Daniel Radcliff!

I wanted to visit the NBC Studios while in New York, and it just so happened that when I walked in they were taping of the show “30 Rock.” While standing on the other side of the barricade I had the chance to speak with a production assistant and see Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin.

We were also able to eat at a few of the most popular restaurants in New York City, and the food was beautifully prepared! Probably the coolest, and most delicious food was the famous lolli-pop cheesecake with bubble gum frosting from David Burke’s Townhouse!

This trip was amazing! We had a whole day in the city to ourselves to explore, and try to figure out the subway system! Hanna and I bought tickets off a street vender for comedy show tickets, and were amazed to find out it was to the club “The Comic Strip” where successful comedians today got their start, such as Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Ray Romano and many more! They were all very funny, and we had a great time! Make sure to pay them a visit when you go!

It’s great to be back at SMSU, and I can’t wait to tell all my friends about my trip!
