Farewell, NYC: Party at Henry's

       On a perfect 70 degrees and sunny Friday (4/17), our very own Henry Moskowitz ’11 invited the entire group to his apartment on Broadway to celebrate the success of our three weeks in NYC.  As the time approached 7PM, guests gradually arrived in small groups filled with curiosity and excitement to see Henry’s place and to meet his parents! Once we arrived at the main entrance of the building, we were greeted by an old-fashioned arched entrance and Henry’s friendly voice projected through the call box. The building continued to excite us with its vintage elevators that have manual doors and gates. 
                As soon as we arrived on his floor, we were immediately greeted by Henry and his father at the door.   Their hospitality made the already tastefully decorated apartment more charming and welcoming :) While his father, Seth, a Carleton alumnus, was sharing fond memory from college and funny stories of baby Henry with us, Henry’s mother, Julie, stepped out from her busy preparation in the kitchen and greeted us warmly. Julie also introduced to us a college student interning at her music education foundation, who helped her to prepare the food for the party.  The dishes prepared for us that night were definitely some of the best food we tasted in NYC.  The most popular dish would have to be the Indian spring roll, which was devoured in no time.

                Henry had thoughtfully put together a slide show of the pictures taken by the class in Coney Island and a few street shots to keep us entertained. We all had a good time appreciating and criticizing each other’s pictures on a 34-inches TV screen.

But the highlight of the night would undoubtedly be when the whole room crowded around the TV, waiting for our shot to show up on the recording of the NBC Today’s show online.  I do not even remember how many times we paused and rewound at our shots. We were like a bunch of crazy fans waiting to catch a glimpse of movie stars. It really was quite a hilarious moment. See it for yourself in the video below, or click here to start from Part 1.

              In the end, we toasted to the Moskowitz’s for such a lovely party, to Julie and Caleb for their birthdays, which were on that same night and, of course, to a splendid ending to the first chapter of our new media journey. Bye, bye, NYC!   Roma, are you ready for us?

Here is a slideshow of pictures from the party. Enjoy!
