WTF?!?!?!??!! We’d thought we’d heard it all, and seen a lot of it, but then again, we haven’t had much contact with the NYU College Republicans. We did have a brief run-in with the 4 or 5 CRs at Columbia back when the Minutemen came to town, but their NYU counterparts are taking their own

Celia Cruz, the Pope y los reyes de la bachata?

When Celia Cruz died in 2003, NYC graffiti artist Antonio “Chico” Garcia painted a lively mural of her on Houston (at Ave B). We dug it. Street art meets musical tribute…. very cool. When Pope John Paul II passed in 2005, Celia was covered up by a pastelish rendering of the man… not quite as

Do these guys look familiar? If you like to get crunk to baile funk, then maybeeeee. But if you fly NYC-Miami (or NYC-PR, whatever….), maybe not so much.

Contrabando y Emocion

You know the story. You’ve heard it on the news for years, especially with the recent buzz about the controversial Guía del Migrante Mexicano and the brigade of armed vigilantes hunting Mexican immigrants along the U.S.-Mexico border. The abundant and illegal trafficking of people and drugs across the border has long been pegged by conservatives
