In case of rain, the tour will be held one week later on September 17th. 

Start the fall semester off by watching America’s favorite pastime, a baseball game! We will be taking a trip to Citi Field, home of the New York Mets who have the highest payroll in all of Major League Baseball. Who knows, maybe you will get to see a perfect game! If you don’t know how baseball is played, you will have time to learn it in the stands.

 

One To World has reserved an entire block of seats, 50 tickets, so in addition to watching the action on the field, you will have the opportunity to mingle with other international students who attend universities around the New York area! Ballpark snacks, a cold beer and memories you will never forget: there’s no better way to spend this Tuesday night! This is also a great chance to visit Flushing, Queens, an area of New York City known for its authentic and inexpensive Chinese cuisine.
