Trying to cram every single life lesson upon my son before he leaves for college in the Fall feels like Jor El putting all the knowledge of Krypton into the crystal spaceship before launching Superman to Earth. #superman

LOS FOODIES - COMIDA CRAWL, Jackson Heights, Queens… - Mariscos El Submarino - Antojitos Doña Fela - El Gaucho Carniceria - Terraza 7 So good. ¡Qué rico!
One day, you're in the prime of youth, bar hopping in the Lower East Side. The next thing you know, you're killing two hours twice a week at the Mall at Short Hills in Jersey while your kid is at fencing class. Whiplash of life.
