By Evan Today is a sad day because it’s my last day on Etgar. We started off the day by taking the subway down to Battery Park. While at the park we talked about how immigrants came to the U.S. and through Ellis Island. We also discussed where our ancestors came from as well as Continue Reading »
by Allie Sigl For those brave enough to get up early, the day began by heading to Esse-a-Bagels. Debatably the best bagels on the east coast, Esse features only the boldest cream cheese flavors and is often famous for giving more cream cheese than bagel. We then went back to Continue Reading »
by Jordan Cascade Like all great NYC adventures, we started the day with bagels.

by Eden Rose Pollock: We started the day with a later wakeup, to the delight of all. Some went for breakfast at Tal Bagels, while others explored breakfast options on the Upper West Side.
