Goodbye, New York

Spring in the City

A couple of months ago, my grandmother told me, "You haven't seen spring until you've seen it in New York." And boy, was she right. The weather has been so gorgeous here the past couple weeks, it makes me want to burst into song. On my most recent visit to Central Park, the atmosphere reminded me of this:

Film in NYC

One of my favorite things about NYC is its prominent film scene. There’s a certain passion for film here that I haven’t experienced anywhere else (outside of The Reel Deal, of course), which is why it’s the perfect place for movie buffs. In addition to the premieres and shoots that happen on any given day, there are plenty of screenings and conversations going on all over the city. Here are some I've attended: 

Mad Men Top 10

I've been eating and breathing Mad Men at my internship for the past week and a half. In preparation for this Sunday's Season 7 premiere, I've created YouTube playlists, conducted clip research, and compiled a top ten list of the best musical moments on the show for Culturalist. Check it out here. 

Video Highlights from PaleyFest

I got to choose the clips that went into the PaleyFest highlight videos for Lost, Parks and Recreation, and Mad Men. You can see the other videos in the PaleyFest 2014 playlist here, and more are coming soon!

Projects, Panels, and Alan Alda

I can't believe I've been an intern for almost three months! Boy, does time fly.

Working My Way Down My Bucket List

Yesterday was the second Saturday in a row where we've had at least one day of gorgeous weather: 55 and sunny. And what did I do? Spend the whole afternoon indoors. It was completely worth it, though, because I was in the beautiful Rose Reading Room of the New York Public Library. It was the perfect place to do some reading for my online class and be productive for a few hours --and cross something off my NYC bucket list. On the way to the library, I saw Grand Central Station for the first time. The famous terminal is even more beautiful in person and despite the hordes of people taking pictures on their smartphones, the place seems frozen in time. I half expected North By Northwest Cary Grant to push past me.
