A Few Comments ..

2011 Little Italy
Today we had a choice of going to Little Italy or Chinatown. My group and a few others chose to go to Little Italy. We went to a restraint called Puglia. While we were in there, a musician type guy was playing songs on the piano, and we all were singing along. During the singing he sang a song about singing along and waving your napkins in the air. As we were singing, we all stood up on the chairs.. Laurentz and I had a canolli eating competition. Laurentz won… -Tyler Hillis

2011 Apollo Theater
Today we had the great opportunity to go to the Apollo Theater. The Apollo theater was
thought to be a “black” theater, but really it was burlesque house. The mayor at the time
was completely against burlesque houses and then later the Apollo theater was shut
down. It was nearly two years until the theater was re-bought and turned into a normal performance theater. Today at the theater we had this great chance to perform on the actual stage! There was about ten students who volunteered and were chosen to sing, rap, dance or even tell jokes. I personally think our guide, the only guide in the entire theater, was the best act. He was hilarious. When we went to Little Italy Rachel Guindon was the best bargainer. She got a salesman to lower the price on a 3 NY tee-shirts from $12 to $5. Overall today was a pretty amazing day…. Especially when we got to see where they were shooting Men in Black III.

New York is so amazing, and very scenic. It is really cool, especially the street vending, and the people are very nice. The Apollo Theater was so cool and so was Times Square and also Central Park . This is a great time, codeword: Light  - Laurentz Locke

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a city this big. It’s really amazing with all the lights at night and all the billboards that you don’t see in Maine . It was also pretty amazing to see the set of Men in Black 3 in Battery Park. Too bad we didn’t get to see Will Smith! We are all going to Philly tomorrow.  – Ana Franklin
