Concrete jungle where dreams are made

My stay here is coming to an end, which also is the case for most of the other Gateway-students. Therefore, it was natural for Gateway to arrange an goodbye-dinner. Well, in this case it was an goodbye-breakfast. On Tuesday, Gateway had made reservations for the whole gang, at Ellen's Stardust Diner.

Since it was the 17th of May, there were Norwegian flags all over the place, and on each table there was a sheet with the National Anthem printed on. We got up and sung as loud as we could, criminally early in the morning before we had even had breakfast. That didn't matter, 'cause the pride and solidarity that filled me up during the singing was enough feed for me.

Then we were finally served the food, while the waiters danced and singed around us. You see, at Ellen's Stardust Diner all of the waiters are hopeful actors, singers and entertainers, waiting for their big Broadway-breaktrough. You don't visit this diner for the food, but for the entertainment. 'Cause they are really entertaining and very talented. If you're in NYC, I recommend you to check it out.
