I live here in New York City and WISDOM tells me don’t touch those hot dogs but sometimes HUNGER gets the better of me. You would think the term [...]

“There is nothing like a warm day in the park, It’s magical. People everywhere talking, running, reading or just simply sitting there watching and admiring the beauty of life.” Eddie Peña
