Our NYC cold war decision. Do we want to shovel all this snow just to Bar-B-Q outside in our back yard patio, or eat inside where it's a lot drier much warmer...

You're all invited tomorrow evening to City Island, NY. If you help me shovel, I'll offer you a Smokin' neighborhood BarBQ.

My wife Yirong Soto and I pride ourselves in serving the freshest quality eats, with supreme service. We call it COOKING CUBASIA. <3 City Images​ * www.cimages.me RSVP: admin@cimages.me

Dear Godfather. You are the last living son from five fabulous children of our grandparents Antoñico Soto y Tete Polo, and the youngest son (my late dad was the oldest).

You are a loving family man, devoted professor, community leader, attorney and founding father of SALAD (Spanish American League Against Discrimination), as well as having earned so many other acclaims, that it would literally take forever to gratefully acknowledge and declare with enthusiastic approval what you signify to me and for that matter, for all of us, who are members of The Soto Polo Family.
