This story is simple: I was in New York for few days but I want to meet and catch-up with my beloved friend Franco Noriega @franconorhal. 

Franco, is a former pro swimmer, a successful fashion model and creative director who became nowadays in a world-class chef, entrepreneur and founder of @babybrasa. 

While remembering our many experiences together, we also discuss our path in a city like no other: the Big Apple! 

Because change is inevitable, Franco and his business partner (and also my friend) Milan Kelez @milankelez became with the bold idea to invite some of the world's greatest artists in the graffiti and street art to work on some building façades at Allen Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, so people can start walk around the zone while they were opening the first Baby Brasa. 

Everytime I get together with Franco I have so much fun and laugh, and this time was no exception.

My takeaway: Always embrace the change and with hardwork, dedication and passion, there's nothing you can't do, even in New York that “Concrete jungle where dreams are made of”.
