urban settings as a social determinant of health
On a less positive note than my last post, here are some disturbing and interesting facts recently posted by the WHO-World Health Organization.
Breathing Mumbai’s air is the equivalent of smoking two-and-one-half packs of cigarettes per day.

BOBO= "Bohemian” and “Bourgeoisie"

As of late I have been doing a variety of things including working a lot, studying and traveling back to Texas so I have been a bit lax on my NY adventures and my camera has just about totally died on me... sooo whether here or in Texas I am not taking many pix either :(
At some point when I finally find just the perfect camera after loads of time doing silly research for just the perfect one I'll be back on blog photo track! :)
Anyway one thing that does remain steady though about my little life here is my enjoyment of trying new restaurants, particularly those popping up in my neighborhood (which happens almost monthly). So BOBO (hence the title) is the latest of these findings :) My roomie Crystal (Chef and restaurant manager) is always to thank for these unexpected evenings of merriment which usually involve getting something free. Last night was no exception as we had the fortune (or misfortune as some might think) to sit nearly in the kitchen of the restaurant, where one of the chef's chatted with us about the recent opening of BOBO and recommendations for other restaurants. Anyway, better click the link if you want to go to this one as it's not easily found with no sign and a basement entrance. Name is kind of pretentious (see website for more explanation of name) but wine and food are good. A bit pricey so we just went for a drink and appetizer. Hmm but I quite liked their graphics, though they are more on the floral side and since i had no camera i'll just have to post the menu graphics for now :)
