This past monday, I went for a walk around the college. I had never really circumnavigated the building, but upon closer investigation of the streets surrounding, I had realized that our immediate surroundings were actually filled with food-related stores; bagel shops, coffee shops, bubble milk tea stores, Subway, McDonalds, Chiptole. This peninsula of education was surrounded on all sides by a sea of fast food, almost as if it was made on the basis of attracting starving college students with money, calling them to a quick snack between classes. Moving on, further down the street I saw Madison Square Garden, and one thing I did was venture further into a part of the park I had not before seen. I actually got lost because I was not familiar with the surroundings, as it was pretty wonderful. I hadn’t seen the Flatiron building from the front before, it was kind of liberating to see the two streets diverge from the building’s edge as they did.
