COR 390: THE NEW YORK EXPERIENCE

WELCOME TO GOTHAM

This is the course site for "Gotham: The New York Experience." Our aim is to expose students to the art, history, and culture of New York City, one of the most amazing urban centers on the planet. By the time you are finished with this course, we hope that you will have a newfound appreciation for the richness and diversity of the great city right in our backyard.

NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS

FRIDAY & SATURDAY CLASSES

The due date for the first paper has been pushed back to Sunday, Sept 24 at 11:59pm

Lunch this weekend may be late for both class (around 3pm), so make sure to eat something substantial when you get to Penn.

SATURDAY CLASS

OLD ANNOUNCEMENTS

Wonderful first class last week. We walked you hard, but you kept up your positive spirits!

SATURDAY CLASS - The weather will be so nice and warm today that we simply have to do Coney Island (Dress cool for the beach!). Be on time at Penn today, because we'll be leaving the station by no later than 11:05. You'll be able to eat as soon as we arrive there (about 12:15) at the Original Nathans, or one of the many fine Pizza places in the area, like Gramaldi's. So you don't need to fill up too much in Penn.

There will be lots of walking this weekend, so get ready! We'll be ending on the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge at around 6:45pm. After class, you can go to the famous San Gennero Fesitval, which is a short walk or train ride from where we will end class (also held next weekend).
