If you’ve stayed abreast of the latest TikTok trend cycle, you’ve likely noticed the influx of video thank-you notes to the Universe for being “born in the right generation.” People my age and younger (I narrowly saw the 20th Century, thank you very much) are spewing gratitude left and right for cell phones, Air Fryers, women’s rights, vaping, tattoos, and modern snacks. It’s a sentiment that flies in the face…
NYC is the city of dreams. Millions of people have immigrated to the United States through New York City in search of a better future. Today, the city draws people from all over the globe, and because of it, the city boasts a wildly diverse population.

(I’m not into kidnapping cats, but you might be.) After seeing…
El Cartel has been on my list for a looooooong time. I’m a sucker for any type of unique food, particularly that of Latin persuasion. Needless to say, when the opportunity to have dinner at the new(ish) Colombian arose, I leapt at the chance.
