BWW Blog: A Trip to New York City

This past week I had the chance to take a day trip to New York City. Along with doing some touristy things like visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Strawberry Fields, and the Rockefeller Center, I also went around the empty streets of the Theater District to take some photos. When I saw the theaters for the first time, it felt like a little piece of my heart was breaking. I'm so used to seeing thousands of people milling about the streets, with actors getting ready for performances and audiences waiting to fill the seats. But just walking around still felt like coming home after I'd been away for so long. Enjoy this "visual article" that will take you around the streets of Manhattan from 45th Street to Times Square!
