I am so thankful that my cousin, Eva, offered me a place to stay while I looked for a job (and for my mother, who put money into my account and paid my rent until then!). It took me over three months to find something full time and almost five months to move into my …
Nothing could have prepared me for the extravagance that was coming my way when I decided that I wanted to have lunch at the iconic Polo Lounge! This is one of those experiences that you have to try for yourself because words will not do it justice, but I will try anyway. Whether you live …
