greatest cities in the world: New York City. Having lived on Long Island for most of my life I haven’t been one to spend as much time in the city as I would have liked. However, the few trips I made to the city were always an adventure. I was dazzled by the “city that never sleeps”; it was always lit up and always moving. Everything about it was enticing; and I knew one day I would live there. The real reason why I’ve chosen the New York campus is because of its diversity. New York City itself…

I knew I wanted to take The New York Experience from the first moment I heard about it. I heard stories of students sitting in four-hour lectures, learning about things they didn’t even care about. I always was fascinated by New York City since I have always thought of it as the capital of the world. I grew up in Queens, NY so I was no stranger to the city. Every Christmas or special occasion my family and I visited Manhattan and every one of those visits I fell in love with the lights and the…

I am visiting Long Island City in Queens, New York...and am writing to tell you about an amazing oil on canvas, precisionist cityscape painting from 1928, "East River from the Shelton Hotel", by Georgia O'Keefe. I traveled to Long Island City, to get a glimpse of the location of this breathtaking and detailed piece of O'Keefe's. I believe the message the artist is relying through this piece is that, the factories emit dirty smoke into the atmosphere, which is harsh, and the artist is displeased…

We went for a dive and found 5 barflies for your next masterpiece. I've never been one for chic cocktail bars in SoHo or Laurel Canyon. The aesthetic is too ritzy, and the drinks, too complex. The people may as well be my co-workers. I prefer to be on an ol' barstool, listening to hair metal beside some 60-year-old divorcé. He's doesn't push a revamped LinkedIn profile or a lifestyle brand. He's authentic, and he abounds in dive bars, the perfect place for a young artist looking for a story to…

She fought to hold the bagel she’d had for breakfast down as she observed the businessmen and women in their expensive clothes rush in and out of the offices. The atmosphere here was busy and fast paced. Discouraged, she second-guessed herself now as she hid behind her dark, long, wavy tresses and realized she didn’t belong here. The positive attitude that helped push her through the front door and make it to the receptionist was fading fast. Despite her reservations, she was determined to break…

people immigrating to America, known as the Island of Hope, and the Island of Tears representing the gateway to the new world. An estimated five thousand immigrants a day passed through Ellis Island in hopes of starting a new life in America, fleeing hardship and political persecution in their home countries. America was the land of opportunity therefore gaining entrance meant a new life and restored hope for millions. However, not everyone was allowed entrance for various reasons, such as,…

I spoke to William Vavrina on 05/16/17. He is calling me today about his 07/02/90 file WCB# 59017370. This case is established for the back with an average weekly wage of $456.40 and he was classified with a permanent total disability by Notice of Decision filed on 05/07/98. That same Decision finds the neurological condition and the neck are not casually related. There is no Section 15(8) and Special Funds was discharged. It was closed on classification at that time. The last award was paid up…

From the time one sets foot in New York City everything feels different, the atmosphere, the people, the scenery. New York is a whole other world set apart from the real world. It is seen as the place to be in order to conquer dreams. The place where one goes to “make it big.” It is a symbol of freedom, history, and entertainment. While I was in New York I gained an insight into just how free and beautiful our country really is. It truly changes a person and their appreciation for society.…
