Summer internship allows a satisfying
Summer internship allows a satisfying taste of The Big Apple
I don't know why, but I just had a blast reading this. I can picture all the people in her Kansas hometown (all 15 of them) gathering around the counter at their local diner as she tells stories of "overcrowded sidewalks and streets, hobos" and "subway rats." They'd say, "tell us the one about the heaven for thrift shoppers of high-end merchandise, Canal street. Where the streets are paved with Polo shirts and Louis Vuitton bags. Please?"
My favorite line: "Getting to and from work was also an experience. I took Subway 6." I'm going to start referring to trains like that. "Oh, you want to get to South Ferry? Take Subway 1. You? Astoria? That'll be Subway N or Subway W. Subway L is your best bet to get to Union Square, my friend."
