New York City Marketing Trip

Recently, all three marketing classes took a trip to New York City. We had 51 out of the 60 marketing students go on this trip. This trip was a really great experience for me, but I don't think I could ever live in a city like NYC. Although, I did have a lot of fun and I really enjoyed myself! The trip began when we left the school at 6:30am. We arrived in NYC around 3pm, and went straight to Times Square! We walked around and shopped for the rest of the afternoon, and then headed to Chinatown. Chinatown was a really cool experience, and I'm glad I was able to get a good deal on the purse I bought for my mom! For dinner that night we ate in Little Italy, and I had my first cannoli ever for dessert! After dinner, we went back to the hotel to relax and hangout. On the next day we started off by going on marketing visits. We were all split up into three groups. I went to JWT, where we met Sara, who actually went to our high school and was in the marketing class. After our visit, we went to Rockefeller Center, where I took a lot of really cool pictures at "Top of the Rock." For dinner that night we went to a barbecue restaurant. After dinner we had about 30 minutes to walk around Times Square again before Spider-Man on Broadway. I went into a store called Modell's, and I ended up meeting one of the actors from the TV show "Awkward." Spider-Man on Broadway was a lot of fun and it was a great first Broadway experience. On the third day, we first went to Carlo's Bakery to start the day, and I got a delicious red velvet mini-cake! After Carlo's Bakery, we went to the 9/11 memorial where we waited for a long time, but it was definitely worth it. Then, we ended the night by walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. On our last day, we went on carriage ride through Central Park and shopped on Fifth Avenue. I'm really glad I went on this trip, and I can't wait until I get to go back again!
