Latinos & the City

"One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it unless it has all been suffering, nothing but suffering." Jane Austen, Persuasion.

You may wonder why quote Jane Austen why not quote a Famous Latino writer like Gabriel Garcia Marquez. "This blog is about Latinos" you may say. Exactly! That's how eclectic we are as a people, as a culture. Our growth in America, and among other places New York City encompasses and embraces all our tastes and idiosyncracies.

You gotta love New York City. You love it, you hate it, then you love it again and you hate it again... but you just can't leave it. And even if you flock to the latest affordable home market or Florida, the memories and the stories will be the stuff of legends.

On any given night, you want to go out, and it seems that you've been THERE too many times but what else to do. Amazing... A city so big, with so many possibilities and it seems that I frequent the same places and see the same people, all making the same fashion statement.

Once in a while I venture out and try something new, slightly different. These are my Big Apple vignettes of what Latinos are doing right now. I must warn you most New York City venues go in and out of style in the blink of an eye, so catch them while they're hot!
