Paris and New York embrace.

June 1st, 2015

A new start!

First day of summer was commemorated by beginning of 2015 exchange hospitality student program. Although the weather was raining, that day was illuminated by the smiles of two groups of students and professors from Paris and NY. “Hello, how are you?”, “Bonjour, je m’appele Laura”, “Enchanter”…you could hear a lot of greetings in French and English.

Hospitality Management Department of City College of Technology held this incredible event in a dinning room providing with tasty food and good service. Students were exploring maps and exchanging tips about “must see places” and “must taste dishes”.
