The Interns

I started my internship at The Pete Sanders Group, a small PR firm located in Times Square, last Tuesday. I work three days a week and the remaining days I waitress at a cute little restaurant in the Lower East Side called Grilled Cheese NYC. The press firm does publicity for Broadway shows, such as Chicago, Little Women, Forbidden Broadway and several off-Broadway shows. My internship is unpaid, but I do receive a stipend for public transportation and lunch when I am at work. I also get to see any show that Pete Sanders represents. Last week I was fortunate enough to see the off-Broadway preview of a show called "Manuscript" with my internship director, Glenna, and my fellow intern, Rachel. It was a lovely play and had an amazing plot. I am adjusting fine to living in the city, as I did it last year, but there are still things about New York that throw me off - the frequency of homeless people, the lack of vegetation, the "anything goes" attitude. It's an exciting place to be and the summer is off to a great start.
