UP Patch's Editor Makes First Foray To New York

Journalism can take a person to a lot of places.

Through my work, I’ve traveled to spots such as San Francisco, Nashville, Washington D.C., Honolulu, even Tokyo.

Today, journalism – online journalism, in particular – is taking me to another locale: New York.

That’s right. Your editor in University Place will travel to the Big Apple as part of Advertising Week, which markets itself as “the world’s premier annual gathering of marketing and communications leaders.”

AOL is a major sponsor of this year’s event, and I’ll be there to help represent Patch.

It’s my first trip to Gotham. I’ll be there only a few days, but I’ll have time to check out some attractions. I’m thinking about catching an off-Broadway show or touring Times Square. If I have time, I might even visit the .

I definitely need to savor an authentic New York hot dog.

What do you all think? Any suggestions on a quick-but-interesting sight that I should catch? I won’t have time to do it all, but one of your suggestions could prompt a change in my itinerary.

While I’m gone, fill-in Editor will be in charge of University Place Patch. If you have a question or a news tip, e-mail her at jennpatchmail@gmail.com.

I’ll also be checking my e-mail, so if you want to drop me a note or have a message for the people in the City That Never Sleeps, send it my way.

I’ll spread the news.

OK, enough New York puns. See ya'll soon.
