FAVORITE NEW YORK MEMORY: My dad grew up in NYC, so growing up we came to visit my grandparents and cousins quite often. I remember one time around middle school, we came up for winter break. We stayed in an old (now demolished) hotel on CPW and got dressed up to see Phantom of the Opera. Later in the trip, we loaded up on candy and boardgames and had a New Year’s Eve sleep over at our cousins’ apartment.
FAVORITE PLACE IN MANHATTAN: The sidewalk on the park side of 5th Avenue on the UES
