How Shooting Pics at the 2014 Puerto Rican Day Parade (NYC) Helped to Improve my Photography
One thing I love about being in New York is that when I’m looking to scratch my photography itch, the City provides a truly unending wealth of interesting subjects.

King of the ‘Tube: 2014 FIFA World Cup Ads
Superbowl or World Cup ads? No competition here whatsoever as the world’s biggest corporations pull out all the stops to highlight their goods during the Cup. There is absolutely no other sporting event whose lead up promotional materials gets me as hyped as those for the World Cup. Here are some of my favorites so far: Nike ...
Restaurant Review: MamaSushi (Inwood, NYC)
Like many of the other restaurants in the area, MamaSushi is located in a relatively small, but cozy venue, alongside a row of hole-in-the wall bars on Dyckman Ave, one block north of the A train. With names like the Campesino, the Chimi and Las Terrenas, you quickly realize that the rolls you’re choosing from aren’t going ...

Photo Credit: mauitheatre.com While planning out our evening activities, I happened to fall upon an advert for Ulalena in one of the many brochures at our hotel.

Restaurant Review: Nai Tapas Bar (LES, NYC)
Just another one of those inconspicuous Manhattan restaurants, whose storefront doesn’t do justice to the experience that is awaiting inside. A few weeks ago, a group of friends had agreed to meet for a birthday celebration at Nai Tapas Bar, located on the Lower East Side. For larger groups, Nai provides a delicious fixed menu for $40 per person, that ...
Hotel Review: Providence Biltmore Hotel (Rhode Island)
Located in the heart of downtown Providence, the Biltmore is conveniently location in close proximity to City Hall, the Rhode Island Convention Center, various museums, Brown University, and plenty of dining options.
