Two of my friends in grad school and I love to go on weekend adventures. In February we had a three day weekend and decided to go to New York. One of my friends grew up in Manhattan, so she was the perfect tour guide. We stayed in a hostel in Brooklyn, which was a part of New York that none of us were too familiar with. This was my third trip to the city, and everything we did and saw was new to me.

Our first day started off in Brooklyn, before we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan. Then we headed to the meatpacking district to go to the Whitney Museum. Thank goodness Kiki had a member’s pass and we got to skip the long line outside in the cold! We finished our day in SoHo, eating fabulous food and feeling right at home (our campus is located in Boston’s Chinatown).
