I will always remember what a friend of mine told me once upon a time on his way to watching an opera which was being performed at a black box. He said “I’m not excited, operas on small stages do not work.” Obviously, I went ballistic, saying that art can be done anywhere with the right story and the right […]

The human being was made to be social. To unite in tribes and construct civilizations. The very nature of our progress is simple: we must woo somebody into attraction until that attraction becomes a real connection that can be explored. From that connection a family is formed, then two start to multiply. That family will then become part of a […]

In this world, this small big world, things happen constantly we know nothing about. Or we know about it but we don’t really. Or maybe everyone is on the joke, but you. Those questions amplify every time something big happens. Every time a tragedy strikes, the seeping confusion births a bit of paranoia. Every time we conceptualized saving humanity as […]

Dating in the 21st century, am I right? Man or woman, gay or straight, no matter race or color, chances are if you are single and in the mix of the mingle, you’ve gone through your share of winning dates. That also means you’ve gone through your share of regrets, terrible dining experiences, and heartbreaks. These amplify in numbers when […]

20th Century history is one full of expansion, diversity, and the start of total globalization. The century will be remembered for the world rebellion that happened, the complete takeover of industries and the rise of technology on our lives.

The United States of America is a big place. It is a composition of 50 small countries that somehow exist under one government. Going from one of these states to another could be as different as crossing the Atlantic. You might as well if you’re going from this city we call home to the southern states. The hectic hustle that this city […]

Woof! That was one hell of a weekend… it’s as if hell froze over and fell on top of us all. It was a mix of wondrous fun and neglecting fear. In the end we were all covered and most of our plans were canceled. So how lucky I am that just right before Jonas started bestowing us with his […]

Yes! We survived the holidays!!!! They are over!! It’s the beginning of a New Year, but what a year was 2015 for theater enthusiasts! Outside the big shiny area with names  like “Hamilton,” or “Spring Awakening,” productions were wowing audiences. The festivals provided us with terrific productions from independent companies that have to hustle and grind to do what they love. […]

Do you live in the city we cover? Manhattan and its five boroughs offer the most diverse group of people this side of the pond, and that includes cuisines. We are spoiled living in such a melting pot, that no matter where we go, chances are there is a bomb restaurant around the corner. But guess what? We do not […]

The holidays are here once again my dear readers, what a grand time to be in the city. Crowded streets full of tourists that can’t walk for some reason and somehow without communicating create an explosive mess of our city in unison. The stores we love can’t barely be inhabited and every night Uber surges its prices. But the one […]
