…means that you use American workers: Regardless of which area of the America’s they come from or reside - right?!?. I took this over a year ago at Rice to Riches in NYC and never posted so it’s a bit old:

This last evening I was able to make it out healthy enough to have a full dinner. Some friends had met one of the owners of Kellari’s Parea Greek Bistro and we stopped in last night which happen to be their Rebetika Greek Music Night.
We sampled a few apps: spanakopita, keftedes, and [...]
NYC is the most populous city in the united states, with more people in closer proximity than in any other city. This living situation begets the reduction of personal space in public places - subways, sidewalks, department stores, and nightlife spots.
I spend the majority of my public hours shoulder to shoulder with [...]
Just after the match, I checked out Get Smart with Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and The Rock … uh I mean Dwayne Johnson. I never watched Mel Brooks’s spy comedy spoof Get Smart, I was even born then but besides, the only 60’s agent/spy show I was a fan of as a kid [...]

On Saturday, the high [...]

This past week the Pope entertained a visit to the USA, first stopping in Washington DC and then making his way up to New York, NY. This was Pope Benedict XVI’s first visit to America since coming into the position and while here, his mission was to ensure his flock does stray too far [...]
The week one of our friends had a birthday at the multiplied in NYC restaurant Serafina. I just recently learned she was from Azerbaijan which I wasn’t familiar with. I’ve since learn the country claimed independence 90 years ago and is surrounded by Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Iran and the Caspian Sea. She’s [...]
This has been an on going issue in New York city for over a year. It’s had many revisions and names which don’t reflect the true nature of the project (Bloomberg’s pet project being probably the latest). The concept for those outside of New York is this:
New York congestion pricing is a [...]
