My Gotham

On Friday evening September 17th 2010 I had one of the most amazing New York City experiences. It was simple and spontaneous. We were invited to the home of one of New York City's elite dining insider and cook....My first reaction after a week filled with dinner parties and fashion week overkill my last joy was to take a train to Uber cool....Williamsburg Brooklyn with all the cool kids. A place where our City is alive and has defied the homogeneity of the Island of Manhattan. What a surprise I was in for.

As I climbed the stair well to this 4 story building I was greeted by a Harvard professor who shared the story of Federico Fellini after her stint of spending many summers in Italy and a Ashtanga Yogi. We listened to Myles and Lisa Lisa and I experienced some of Mexico's amazing regional cuisine right here in our beloved Gotham. So New York City love it or hate I cannot think of a better place to get a degree in life 101 and all of it sites and taste buds that continues to challenge all my senses. I always have to remind myself to think outside the box of what this City means to me and what it has to offer. Life ! Kudos Williamsburg !

The Journey

As this weekend rolled into full force I had a moment of what labor day really means to me. Being an immigrant and watching my parents and my family working really hard to live a life filled with prosperity I had questions whether is there a life filled with prosperity left for our generation ?

So I dedicate this to all the men an women who continue to work tirelessly to enrich their families lives. To create a better future for their children and grandchildren. Happy Labor day I salute My Uncle Sunny my Aunt Ivy and Mommy and Daddy and all those who continue to inspire us to never let fear stop us from being fearless ! And to never stop perusing our dreams.

Happy Labor day !
