Taking a Bus Tour to NYC Landmarks with Kids in Tow

Being a true New Yorker, I couldn't wrap my head around such a good deal, so they offered to let me try it. Thus, on a Saturday morning, my family and I made our way to see New York as tourists. Normally, when you book the $10.00 tour you have the option to be pick[...]

Friday Fun: A Sunny NYC Day with Kids in Tow

Another perfect day in New York City.  Anyone who can will do whatever it takes to enjoy it. Whether it be during lunch, or on a sudden sick day. And the fact that it is a Friday makes it that much better, or worse, depending on where you stand. I was awakened by[...]

NYC Fun: Parks, Concerts, Street Fairs, & Sightings of Reflectorman

Spring is gorgeous I would say mostly everywhere in the world. But for this New York City girl, there is nowhere better than Spring in New York City. I know, I know. I sound like a broken record. But this is one of those seasons where raising children in the city i[...]

A Culinary Adventure in Orlando’s Theme Park Restaurants

During my recent excursions to Orlando, FL, one of the most fun things I did was taste some of the best dishes offered by a few restaurants found in the various theme parks. I have had a few bad culinary experiences at theme parks before, and am not much of a giant[...]

Wave Hill: A Nature Haven Amidst The Concrete Jungle

Recently, a darling friend invited me to join her on a little play date excursion to the Bronx.  I know you're thinking, "Why the Bronx?". But really, if you haven't discovered all the Bronx has to offer, than you are truly missing out. Because among many things,[...]

Loosing Your Breath at Top of The Rock, NY

The weather in NYC lately has been AMAZING. The days just beg for you to be outside, laying on the grassy lawns of Central Park, sipping a cold drink in an outdoor eatery, hanging out with the kiddos at the zoo. Anything and everything, except be inside. You just w[...]

Going Behind the Scenes at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Orlando, FL

Our trip to Orlando, FL is coming to an end. It's insane to think that we have only been here 4 nights. We have done so much in that time that it really feels like we've been here a lot longer.  We've made some awesome friends, both bloggers and not, and have done[...]

A day in photography, and a glimpse of Small Town A day in photography, and a glimpse of Small Town America. 

From Dairy Day in Dryden, NY to Pride and Protest in Corning, NY. One thing is certain - we all just want to live our lives and be happy doing so. And while what that joy looks like is different for everyone, we all deserve the right and freedom to do so without fear or intimidation.

Today we are out on assignment doing photography w Today we are out on assignment doing photography work. Top of mind for us are all the protests that will be happening across the country against the illegal and violent attacks against Americans and Black and brown immigrants alike. May they be kept safe from harm and may their voices stay strong and loud. 

¡Viva mi gente! ✊🏾

What? Procrastination, who? Of course I am finishi What? Procrastination, who? Of course I am finishing all my work on this stunning, warm and beautifully sunny Friday!
When I recorded this video…in the start of Septe When I recorded this video…in the start of September 2024…I was still too afraid to say what I wanted out loud, which was to open my own little cafe. In fact, I would only admit that I wanted to simply learn the craft, and @travisjcain would kick start that journey for me (seen here), that would eventually give me the courage to pursue more formal training, which eventually gave me the confidence to start my own little café pop-up, @cafecomodony, 9 months later. 

This version of me couldn’t fully see it being more than a silly little thing (she’s been wanting for decades), and could never have dreamed of being where she is now.

I have worked very hard and have committed many long hours to training and learning, with very little sleep, and all of my savings, to realize this moment. 

But, I am living a literal dream come true.☕️✨I am doing it y’all! ✨

Please follow Café Cómodo, and once there, sign up for our newsletter for updates on where we will pop-up next, please consider us for your next wedding, gathering, and private event…and thank you to everyone who has showered us with support and friendship throughout this journey. 🥰 If you have experienced us already and liked what you’ve seen and tasted, please spread the word! Thank you! 🙌🏾

I started the day sitting in the sun sipping on a I started the day sitting in the sun sipping on a cafecito, then spent time with my guys while planning our summer vacation over brunch. I later took a nap, and as this amazing rain falls, I am making my family a hearty Dominican meal.

My life is kinder, easier, and softer because of the immigration choices my family made before me. Because at some point, they sewed someone’s clothes (my abuela as a seamstress in the Fashion District), or fixed someone’s electrical appliances (my grandfather in Brooklyn), or cleaned someone’s house or office, or cooked someone’s food (my tias and tios). 

Because of their labor and sacrifices, I get to work for myself, with experience I gained from a college education all the way to a Master’s degree. I get to dream bigger, and bolder, with more courage and confidence. My children get to as well. 

But make no mistake, I am the daughter of immigrants, very proudly so. My language is Spanish first, the core of my culture is Latinx. 

I was born here, but I am not so far removed from my culture to be from here. And so anything I bring to others, through my work or my friendship is born from there…and if it benefits you, then you are benefiting from what an immigrant can bring when given the freedom, respect, safety, and opportunity to exist and thrive. 

My heart goes out to all in my community and beyond suffering through the abuse, racism, and discrimination. This is shameful to this country and all its people. And we should all unite against it.
