You see people on TV flying in to places just to pick up a baby, or brush some flies away. That's great if they can bring that issue to public attention. But that's not what I wanted to do.

I was always frightened by taverns. They just seemed like very unpleasant places to go. ↗

One of the things I love about New York is that it's one of the only places where you could have an entire restaurant dedicated to macaroni and cheese. ↗
