Quick City Island Bite :)

City Island is a small community at the edge of New York City located just beyond Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx and surrounded by the waters of the Long Island Sound and Eastchester Bay. A bridge away from the Bronx, City Island has retained a unique small-town, atmosphere frequently compared to that of a New England fishing village.  On this little Island has a few good seafood restaurants; one of our favorites; Crab Shanty.

Soho on War!

" I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip
9/11 building seven did they really pull it? "

Backstreet Delight

Strolling through Manhattan, New York can be quite an experience. The atmosphere is extremely lively and crowded; at night the bright city lights illuminate the dark humid skies and create a type of euphoria that is unexplainable. Although Manhattan is know for its endless activity and bright lights ("The city that never sleeps") there are a few things that often go by unnoticed; one thing is the the backstreets, also known as the roads less traveled on. Strolling through these enticing side streets are a great way to capture freelance art and even hold a conversation. You may be surprised with the different things one can encounter on a journey through the deserted back blocks.

"I love it in the city, I love it in the city"
