Where to Dance Salsa and Bachata in Los Angeles (CA)
For anyone wanting to go out dancing while visiting LA, here’s a quick little reference chart that I put together that includes a list of my favorite weekly events.

Performance Videos (salsa & bachata) from Nueva Ola’s First Brooklyn Bash Social (NYC)
Anyone who’s known me for a while knows that I’m not particularly fond of heading out to Brooklyn. Don’t get me wrong, it has nothing to do with the borough itself, or with the masses of hipsters roaming its streets. The simple fact is that even though both are a part of NYC, traveling from ...

Restaurant Review: Guantanamera Restaurant (Hell’s Kitchen, NYC)
While on vacation, I will often look for experiences that help me understand and define the character of the city that I’m visiting. After living in New York for over 10 yrs, I realize that I definitely take the City for granted and have not delved into finding its heartbeat as much as I would ...
