Concrete Jungle Where Dreams are Made of!

I had the great opportunity of completing a 100 hour internship with Thomas Preti Caterers in New York City. It was SOOOOO much fun! I loved every second of it. While I was there I stayed with my Uncle Jon and just had the best time. He was the best host and we had a blast. While working with TPC I was able to help with a tasting, a Sex and the City 2 party, a venue walk through, a wedding, a promotional event, and a HUGE event at Pepsi worldwide headquarters. I got to taste delicious food the whole time I was there and loved all of the people there. It was just so much fun!! Here are some pictures of some of the things I got to do while I was in the city. Enjoy!

This is where the Pepsi event was held. It was in a huge Air Conditioned tent! The theme was vegas so everything was sparkly. It was cool to see everything go up so fast.

The hot pink table cloth!

Here's a behind the scenes look at what was going on. Here they are preparing salads for 650 people. The event included a plated dinner which was served to every guest in 15 minutes! It was pretty awesome to see how everything worked! I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

While in the City we went to see Shrek 3D in IMAX. I can't remember the last time I went to and IMAX. We had alot of fun. This is me with my Uncle's roommate, Joy. She is so sweet and I had alot of fun with her while I was in Manhattan too!

Me and Uncle Jon :)

For one of the days that my Uncle and I were both off of work we took this speedboat called the BEAST. It was alot of fun. We rode around the tip of the island to the Statue of Liberty and then back. We got SOAKED with gross river water but it was still alot of fun!

Me and My Uncle Jon about to leave on the boat.

This was at the wedding that I helped with. The venue has a space on the roof where the ceremony was held and dinner was downstairs in loft. It was beautiful.

Here are a couple of people that I worked with. We attended a promotional event at the central park zoo so we took this picture for proof that we were there!

Here's the website of the company that I worked with: www.thomaspreti.com

As you can see, it was a fun-filled 3 weeks. It was a a GREAT experience that I never would have been able to get anywhere else. I am sure that I am in the right major now. I just loved every second of being there!
