New York State of Mind

Imagine my surprise this morning when I opened the New York Times and saw a story that we ran months ago on the front page of their Dining In section! It made me smile to see that we scooped the venerable NYT with our "The Yogurt Heard Round the World" story by Jennifer Kim.

We also had a mention in the the New York Post today. Michael Starr quoted our interview with "America's Next Top Model" judge Nigel Barker:

"And in the February/March issue of East West magazine, "America's Next Top Model" judge Nigel Barker, who's of Sri Lankan descent, comments on "Top Model" host Tyra Banks referring to him as "Indian" on the show (he gives her a pass - barely). '[I had to] bite my tongue," he says. 'It was a faux pas on her behalf. I knew what she meant. I wasn't going to correct her on national television.'"

As a former New Yorker, it's nice to see East West getting some hometown coverage!

And it's not the first time we've scooped big publications!
Not to brag, although we are quite proud of ourselves....
We beat most publications with our story on Deepak Chopra's foray into comic books with India Ink and other stories. (see the Features section).

oh, and to see the NY Post blurb. Click here: http://www.eastwestmagazine.com/Newyorkpost_February212007.pdf

East West is on the radar! Hard work, 3 years...it pays off.

Happy reading!
