My Weekend Was Better Than Yours

I had the most fantastic weekend taking in the sites and eating lots of food.

My Weekend Was Better Than Yours
Justin Adams

This past weekend was amazing. I am constantly exploring the city but this weekend I took it to a new level. I spent all day Saturday and Sunday walking in circles to see some really cool things. Not only did I eat some mouth watering food, but I also spent time in some of the greenery that NYC offers. I also ended up walking close to 25 miles in just those two days combined - wowza! Check it out.

1. Jack's Wife Freda

This cafe is everything and more. My meal consisted of pooched eggs on top of salmon and potato cakes with the most delicious beet hollandaise sauce. Intern brunch for the win!

2. West Village Community Garden

Next, another intern, Katie, and myself headed over to the East Village to check out a community garden. It is run by the members of the community but has been deemed a NYC park because of the amount of traffic they get. Not a bad for a selfie. Am I right?

3. International Sushi Day

The best part about NYC is all the amazing food that surrounds you at every waking second of every day. To celebrate international sushi day (not a real holiday by any means), myself and two other interns ordered almost everything on the menu. YOLO.

4. "Les Misérables"

Theatre is my favorite pass-time in the city. I have been here almost six weeks and have seen seven shows in that time, which is not enough if you ask me. I have never seen this show professionally, let alone on Broadway. You cannot never get enough of the music from this classic tale. It is closing soon enough so do not wait "one day more!"

5. Hell's Kitchen Bars

It is crazy to think that just a few short years ago Hell's Kitchen was a dangerous place. After all, heroes like Daredevil and Jessica Jones demand the NYC sect all the time on Netflix. However, now the place has some of the best bars in town. We checked out a dance club with the most happening tunes to headed over to an Irish pub for some much needed beer and karaoke.

6. Smorgasburg

This is the outdoor food market that always has the craziest foods. From spiced mango to ramen noodle burgers (check out the above cover photo), there is something for everyone! The event is every Saturday and Sunday, with over 75 vendors selling their best creations.

7. Brooklyn Botanical Garden

Talk about the perfect way to forget about all the concrete New Yorkers are constantly on! The gorgeous 52-acre garden features plants from all over the world, including a rose garden and a Japanese garden. The perfect place to spend a sunny day, especially if you bring a blanket and want to lay out!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
