New York City can be a big bad lonely place, it is my mission to conquer the city while remaining my nerdy self. The city is an overwhelming place for me, and I fear that I will begin to lose myself in all of the hubbub. I have two passions that are always fighting: language and food. Food usually wins. I am always thinking about what my next meal will be and how to tingle my taste buds. New York City tends to stimulate, aggravate and obfuscate. I need to use my kitchen and creative writing as an outlets to ensure I do not lose myself, or all of my money.
