Innocent question. My parents told me I was born in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA, but we migrated to Washington Heights, Manhattan, New York City, when I was age 1. I don't have any memories of CA from that early, but my earliest memories were being in Dominican Jewish neighborhood, hearing the sounds of Merengue, Salsa, Reggaeton music from my baby crib..hearing about how there was a huge problem of car theft in the neighborhood..but waking up to Sesame Street everyday my mother dressing me for Magnet School @ P.S. 199, & nursery school before that. I loved playing Mario Bros 1, Ninja Gaiden, Rad Racer, et al on Nintendo Entertainment System game console. After school I loved playing Ninja Turtles arcade game at the local Blimpies, collecting baseball cards with chewing gum, ring pops @ the local Bodega, having an icey from the vendor cart outside, taking school field trips to the Cloisters and American Museum of Natural History Museums. Also, always watching The Muppet Show on TV before going to bed every night. Loved Halloween parties with friends from school, and seeing a few Broadway shows.
