New York Restaurants and chats about law school
When I was in New York, I ate in Chelsea, the financial district, west village, and soho. New York is just a great place for a food tour.
First, I had dinner with my sister at Ilili, a great Mediterranean restaurant. Since I tend to be an adventurous eater I tried the lamb brains which were very good and the kibbeh nayeh (raw beef) which was also very good. Sadly the veal sweetbreads were out.
Interestingly enough, one of my college friends who I hadn't seen the entire time I've been in law school was three tables down from us. This led to us making a lunch date in the West Village (NYU area and near the famous Arch).
We had lunch at Cucina something. One of the things that everyone always ask me is how is law school and whether or not I regret it. My friend was pre-med and her parents very much wanted her to be pre-med. She found during the first year that wasn't what she really wanted to do. I think that is the same thing with law school. It really should be something you want to do. A person shouldn't spend a lot of money if you don't really plan on following through. Better to make that decision earlier in the game.
Also I would recommend contacting students at the school to get the low down. You can always contact a current student (provided by Admissions) or if you have friends have them take you around!
