Field Trip! Friday, January 6th, 2017- McSorley’s Old Ale House January 11, 2017

This past Friday marked the first field trip of 2017! Some students (and teachers!) braved the cold January day to visit McSorley’s Old Ale House in the East Village- New York City’s oldest continually operated bar! The cozy spot was the perfect location to spend the chilly winter afternoon, with it’s warm wood burning fireplace and cheap beer and snacks. McSorley’s has an incredibly interesting history, as a place where famous politicians like Abraham Lincoln as well as World War I soldiers gathered for a drink. In fact, many historical objects from the bar’s past can still be seen displayed all over its walls. The field trip provided a great opportunity for students and staff to relax after easing back into school after the holiday break. Everyone had a great time, and we’ll be sure to go back to McSorley’s again in the future.
