This was a while back (as all of my posts are nowadays), on June 21. However, I just wrote a concert review for my core music class not too long ago and I still want to talk about my experience. (Excuse the poor quality of my photos. I took them on my phone camera.) I …
Most of the time, we go to parks to hang out, have fun, relax, watch people, and mind our own business in the company of others. I, however, went to Bryant Park back in May on a research assignment for Macaulay Seminar 2: Peopling of New York. I spent a good three hours on a …
This is another post about another exhibition at the magnificent Brooklyn Museum. Rachel Kneebone: Regarding Rodin. In this exhibition, Rachel Kneebone sets up eight of her porcelain sculptures and sets them beside fifteen of Rodin’s bronze sculpture.

I’m still amazed by it. The night before Tuesday, March 20th, I stayed up until 4am devising my game plan. …
As in my previous post, I will be talking about a tour of neighborhood in New York City. And, it involves food. Last week, my Peopling class went on a walking tour down Flatbush to explore the West Indian culture of Brooklyn. I’m not going to discuss it in depth as I do in similar …
*The title and the featured image of this post don’t match. But isn’t that what life is about? Contradictions. Several Fridays ago, being the good big sister that I am, I accompanied my sister on a tour for her extra credit assignment: The Big Onion Multi-Ethnic EATing Tour! This is Big Onion’s most popular tour. …
Last week, I went to the New Museum to see the Carsten Holler: Experience exhibition. I saw subway ads and read information online that intrigued me.
