NEW YORK CITY

There's nothing better than being a hometown kid opening a business in your own hometown. It doesn't happen that much anymore but I'm grateful it happened for me when it did, where it did and how it did. No rational human being would have stayed downtown.  Fortunately, we are neither rational nor human.

There's a whole generation of kids that think East Williamsburg is a real place and privilege a real thing. If you never played stoopball and salugi sounds like a side dish you might want to take a trip down Flatbush Avenue and get to know the Real New York.
