According to a CNN poll, 74% of Americans believe we are already in a recession. You mean the subprime mortgage rates, consumer reports, and plummeting stock market didn't tell us that?I'm working on a piece about how the talk of a recession influenced designers autumn/winter '08 designs, and how it will also affect the retailers come September. Check back for it in a week!

Hi Ashley!
Just wanted to drop you a quick note because I remembered you mentioned that you were living at The Webster this summer. Have you toured it yet?
Like you, I'll also be in NYC this summer [interning at an entertainment news outlet] and I'm currently figuring out housing. I've narrowed it down to The Webster and The Brandon, and I'm trying to get opinions on both. Any advice you could pass along would be great. Let me know!
PS -- Fantastic job with your blog, btw! I'm a fan. :)
I have not toured The Webster yet because I am studying in Paris this semester. However, Nick, the fashion assistant at WWD who will be my boss this summer, told me about it. One of his fall interns stayed there and loved it!
You can check out their website for pictures. One thing they don't mention that I think is quite important is that they are located next to Penn Station. This means that it will be really easy to get anywhere in the city since almost every major metro line passes through there!
Good luck!

Hey Ashley -- it's Susie from Glamour, just wanted to add that The Webster is a great place -- I stayed there after left the NYU dorms for the rest of last summer. It's right next to the Hudson, rooftop garden, and super easy walk to Times Square. Sounds like Paris is amazing... great blog!
