    1) What did you do?
    We explored the drama and instrumental departments at LaGuardia High School as well as interviewed CTE Head and AP of Theatre, Brad Vincent.

    2) Why did you choose it?
    We figured that’s it’s a place inside of the neighborhood that nobody has done yet. We also wanted to give a little tour of one of the country’s most prestigious high schools.

    3) What did you learn?
    We learn a little of what each department does to educate their children. We also about the severe lack of educational funding the school receives.

  • Lunch & Dessert on the West Side of Town

    Group: Ivana Roman, Fausto Lopez, Olivia Torres, Sam Barnes, and Christian Mejia (All Hunter)

    What did you do?
    – We took a look around the area and decided to bring you to the best place for awesome pizza and delicious desserts. The bakery and pizzeria are on the corner of Columbus Ave and 69th St, definitely worth the trip!
    Why did you choose it?
    – Not only were some of our group members hungry, but thought it would be nice to show everyone a new place to eat since we generally don’t hang around the west side of Manhattan too much.
    What did you learn?
    – We learned that Magnolia has expensive but equally awesome cupcakes.

  • Adventures at Barnes and Noble

    Brought to you by Grace Ko, Justin Davis, Stephanie Parascandolo, Chloe’ Weiser, Ayelet Chovev (Queens)

    What did you do? We explored Barnes and Noble on 66th Street and Columbus Avenue.

    Why did you choose it? Well, we first went to Magnolia bakery but there were already Macaulay people filming there. So, after our quick (and unhealthy) snack, we decided to feed our minds as well as our stomachs.

    What did you learn? While there is a large selection of books, it can be a little overwhelming. If all you want to do is browse, Barnes and Noble is definitely the place to go. However, if you are a serious book-buyer, we’d suggest a smaller store.
