Weekend Update

Between deals you can only find in New York City and some fun experiences that are unique to our Rose Hill campus, students enjoyed a variety of activities this past weekend. Check it out below!

February 17-March 7 is NYC Restaurant Week, where people can visit numerous restaurants and enjoy three course meals for $25 (lunch) or $38 (dinner). This past Friday, I had an amazing dinner at The Capital Grille. I ate a bowl of New England Clam Chowder, filet mignon, mashed potatoes, and a piece of chocolate cake for less than $40! This was a deal I could not miss out on!

I met up with my mom and sisters in the city to grab lunch and see a matinee of The Bridges of Madison County on Broadway.

I went to the men's basketball vs. George Washington yesterday afternoon. The final score was GW Colonials 70-67.

Birthday in the City

My birthday (I just turned 20!) happens to fall during restaurant week every year.  For anyone who does not know, restaurant week is a really awesome time in late January when almost all of the really fancy restaurants offer 3 course meals for only $35!  It is a great way to experience different cuisines and famous restaurants for a fraction of the usual cost.

So, since my freshman year, my roommate and I decided to try a new restaurant every year for my birthday since its less expensive and we love to get dressed up.  This year we took a night out on the town and went to a really nice restaurant called The Palm, which had cartoons drawn all over its walls.  After the very filling and very delicious meal, we decided to walk it off because it was such a beautiful night out (which doesn’t happen often in January) and made our way to the Lincoln Center campus to take the RamVan.  That last piece of chocolate cake was absolutely worth it, though! All in all, it was a great birthday dinner.
