The week followed with a bevy of activities, including working on DIY projects while sipping bubble tea in New York City, Taco Tuesday on Long Island, Arcade Day in the 11th-floor auditorium in 16 W. 61st St., Final Roar Senior Toasts at Three Monkeys in New York City and Buffalo Wild Wings on Long Island, carnivals on both campuses, and a fashion show on the New York City campus featuring the styles of up-and-coming designers.
