Pat Chang (July 11)

Freshman year of college, we all had to pick a first year seminar. I fought my way into NYTC, Not Your Typical Class, and in case you hadn't guessed from the acronym, it was New York-centric. On Saturdays, we would take trips into the city and get guided tours around different sections, go to different restaurants, see shows and go to museums etc.

Pat and his wife Ann designed this class to familiarize students with NY and it was awesome. Along with exclusive tours from some very cool people, we also ate for free at different restaurants each week including Soul Food, Ethiopian, Vegetarian, Sushi and Indian among other things. We saw Avenue Q, walked around Inwood, explored the village where I got my ear pierced and took a tour of Webster Hall.

It really was an experience like no other and sealed my love of this city.
