From Batter Park to Broadway
New York is like nowhere else. On a cool day in October, while attending a convention at the New York Sheraton next to Carnegie Hall, a close friend and I opted to play hooky from professional meetings and spend a day on the streets of the Big Apple. We rode the subway to Wall Street […]
My Cousin Chinnah

In August of 2007, I moved to Connecticut. I made it a habit to take the train to NYC at least two or three times a month. But my favorite memory is when I went to a Good Morning America taping to see Josh Groban. My friend and I caught a train to NY around […]
