We got into new york around 11am this morning and Brandon was happy to have gotten the opportunity to drive through Manhattan. We picked up our friend, Leonard (from UM), who is working at 200 West this summer in Manhattan. By around 1pm, we had dropped off our car at the hotel and taken the metro back into the city. We stopped by NYU, but since it was a Sunday, we didn't get to meet anybody or do a tour. For this reason, we decided to forego any other visits for the day. We had Fordham on the schedule, but since they would actually be pleased to speak with us tomorrow, we decided to reschedule them for tomorrow instead of Columbia. So tomorrow will be tours and perhaps meetings at Yeshiva Cordozo and Fordham schools, and maybe a swing by of Columbia if we decide to make the time. As far as first impressions of New York, it was a fun day. We found a small cafe for lunch and a nice german place for dinner and we saw plenty of sights in between-- the most exciting: Leonard took us on a personal tour of Goldman Sachs. We saw views of the city from the 43rd floor of the building, right across from the new World Trade Center. It was an incredible view and a beautiful building. Thanks, Leonard!
