It wasn't your usual crowd this morning at Bonsignour on Jane Street at 8th Avenue. This largely Latino crowd looked like they were at Mass, worshipping at the altar of World Cup Soccer. It was Uruguay over Mexico, 1-0.
Same thing happening here. I love hearing the cheers from my office window as I work. And I have fond memories of the crazy Greek, Korean and Portugese celebrations that took place in Toronto during the World Cup, too!
Welcome to my blog! As a journalist, I write about a lot of different topics: culture, food, art, Japanese-American life, health, my West Village neighborhood in New York City, and eating disorders. It’s hard to fit them all under one umbrella, but that’s what I love about my job: it gets me out and about, walking and talking to people whose lives and work are very different from mine.
This blog is a place for me to share information that doesn’t make it into my articles, projects I’m working on now, places I’ve visited and people I’ve met. The only topic from the list above that I’m not including in this blog is eating disorders. To read my posts on that subject, check out www.childhoodeatingdisorders.com. Please post any comments that come to mind; I would like to hear from you.
Lot of "worshipping" going on in T.O., too! They've even opened some bars in the a.m. to watch some of the overseas action live.
