Today we had another free day in the morning. A few of us
went to the Brooklyn flea market with two alumni from the program. The flea
market was really nice and in a really cool building, but was really expensive.
The food was amazing though. We walked around Brooklyn for a while after, went
to juniors to get cheesecake, and then headed back to the Y to get ready for
the alumni dinner that night.
The dinner was at Colors, which is an interesting restaurant
because it is a worker-owned restaurant. I’m still not entirely sure what that
means, but I know that the restaurant belongs to a larger organization that
deals with equitable rights. There were over 50 alumni at the dinner, even some
people who had been students, fellows, and faculty on the program (so they had
done the program 3 times). It was a great dinner with great company, and
amazing to be in a room with so many inspirational people at one time.
