A visit to ground zero

With the 8th anniversary of 9/11 attacks the atmosphere in the city slightly changed. People started talking more about it, remembering where they were during the attacks and a pole of light marking the position of the towers was visible from my appartment.

Brooklyn Trip

When a man has a clearly defined goal, no matter what happens, he will not quit. Especially when three men have the same goal at the same time and when it involves food. So the other day on a Sunday my roommies and I decided to go to New York City's most famous pizzeria, called Grimaldi's. It...
