CAN'T GET AWAY THIS SUMMER? GET OUT & EXPLORE EMERGING NYC NEIGHBORHOODS!

Get off-the-beaten-track for a few hours and discover another NYC not in the guide books.

Experience great food, art & architecture, real estate, retail home & style trends and more.

You might already be living in one of these fonts of discovery and not even know it!

Time Out magazine is a great source for destinations. Best advice is to just land somewhere and explore. Play tourist and take along a camera, a map, and a metro card.

Suggestions: Park Slope, Astoria, Fort Green, DUMBO, Hell's Kitchen, Williamsburg, Lower East Side, Boerum Hill, and Atlantic Avenue for starters.

SXT 100: INSIDER'S GUIDE TO TRACKING TRENDS IN NYC.

Fashion Institute of Technology. 2007 Final Year!

Thanks to all the present and past participants for a long and successful run!

The following is a testimonial sent in by a student from the final class.

Dear Ms.Gorgopa,

  Your approach and structure to the Tracking Trends class connects on an emotional level. The way you combine your life's experiences with the class brings a realistic and positive standpoint. I enjoy this approach because it's not the usual structure of a 'college course' class.

It makes one think beyond the box and take what was learned in class to apply it to real life. Some people probably wouldn't be comfortable with this approach, but I believe it to be challenging.

Thank you for a totally new experience!

Sincerely,

Ava Pierce
