The Webster
During my college years, I spent a summer in Manhattan interning with a magazine. Since I knew absolutely no one in the city, I was grateful for my fellow interns — one of whom made plans to live at an all-female residence on 34th Street called The Webster. I followed her lead and made it my home for the three months as well.
Today, the NYT has a story about places like The Webster. Reading it brought back all sorts of crazy memories. I had a fantastic time that summer and met so many great people through the internship and living at The Webster.
Now I feel really old thinking back on those days!

Ohh, I plan to read that article... I too lived in one of these type places when I lived just the one year in Boston while on exchage at UMass. It was such a great experience, and I giggled all the time telling people I lived in a Nunnery. Well, it used to be a nunnery, but there were a few nuns who still lived there and ran the place. I have a great room on the 5th floor with a skyscraper view of the city to the north.
Just like you, I have GREAT memories!!

It does seem like forever ago, doesn't it?! That was a fun summer.

Oh how i miss that place. I used to live there too during my internship days in Manhattan. I love how they try to serve the "easter sunday dinner style" almost every sundays. Met really cool intern girls as well.
