It being my third month living in NYC, I was ready to start exploring and trying out different places. Here are some of my favorite places.

When people hold debates on entrepreneurship vs Employment, most of the conversation centres “working on your own time / terms” and “making more money as an entrepreneur than you would as an employee”. I think there is a lot of biases from both sides of the debate – those who opt for entrepreneurship, and those who would prefer to remain employed. I have been both, and share many opinions on the matter.

The first-ever Macy’s fireworks show lit up New York skies in 1958, but not on July Fourth. The “pyrotechnic extravaganza” took place over the Hudson River on July 1 as a celebration of the department store’s 100th anniversary. About a million people showed up to watch. Yesterday, I got to watch the showcase for the first time.

I attended my first Pride Parade in NYC this weekend, with my new friends Tom and his husband Tsohil. It was every bit of fun. We went to the Pride Liberation March in downtown Manhattan, and there was a huge party at the Washington Square Party.
