Review of Porteño Restaurant: My Favorite Steak in NYC
As their name indicates, Porteño (a term commonly used to describe people from the port-city of Buenos Aires) is focused on providing New Yorkers with a uniquely Argentinian dining experience. As dining in Buenos Aires and consumption of juicy steaks go hand in hand, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to find that this small restaurant, ...

Photos of the Hottest Cars from the 2015 New York International Auto Show
Having grown up during the emergence of the ‘rice rocket era’ in Southern California, I’m sure it’s not hard to imagine why so many imports have found their way onto my list of hottest rides. Though there were a lot of beautiful cars presented during this year’s NY International Auto Show, here are photos of the rides ...
Dancing to Live Salsa Music in NY: Featuring Frankie Vasquez at Monique’s Lounge 108 (NYC)
When going out salsa dancing in NY, you’ll occasionally get the following question: “So, what type of salsa club are we going to?” Though one salsa club is the same as any other salsa club for most people, there’s a delineation in NY between clubs/socials that have “trained” dancers, and those who’ve primarily learned in the ...
Review of the Interactive Theatrical Production, Sleep No More (Chelsea, NYC)
Over the past 10 years in New York, I’ve had the opportunity to take part in some very cool, entertaining experiences. Sitting front row, center, at the Broadway show “In the Heights”, being in the audience for a taping of David Letterman, being present at Yankee Stadium for Mariano Rivera’s last game, and seeing some ...
Performing at Island Touch’s 6th Year Anniversary Party (Las Chicas Locas, NYC)

In as much as I’ll eternally be grateful to those that I’ve shared the stage with over the ...

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 ...
