Figs, Noodles & Torrential Rains

Madness!

By: Gabriela Yareliz The more I see of this city, it still amazes me that we humans are willing to live in certain conditions…especially when other places have a lower cost of living and better lifestyles to offer.

NYC: Fall colors to Snow; Weather Change
