Strides for Pride is Covenant House International's annual fundraising challenge to support LGBTQ+ youth facing homelessness. Made in Brooklyn Tours is committed to walking 40 minutes a day for one entire week to raise at least $120 in funds, symbolizing that 40% of youth experiencing homelessness identify as LGBTQ+ and are 120% more likely to experience homelessness than their peers. All funds go directly to Covenant House to provide shelter, food, clothing, healthcare, education, legal aid, and compassion to youth facing homelessness.

As a grateful Covenant House alumnus, I'm here for them as they were there for me. So, for the entire week starting June 22, 2026 I'm committed to striding at least 40 minutes a day by producing and leading Made in Brooklyn Tours. Help me raise funds for Covenant House by going here:

Happy Flag Day!

Celebrating the adoption of the flag design for the United States of America. Since June 14, 1777, the United States - no longer colonies - now resolved to have its own flag.

Here's the set up:

You bought World Cup tickets in 2025. Italy, your favorite team, dropped out in 2026. Now you're here in NYC or (Oh My Gawd) New Jersey. At your hotel. You're hungry. You're ordering in.

It's time for Italian, American style! Lioni Italian Heroes made with fresh mozzarella from Lioni Latticini Mozzarella! As seen (and tasted) on Made in Brooklyn Tours!

Yay! Brooklyn saves the day! ;)

"Ecco la situazione:

Hai comprato i biglietti per i Mondiali del 2025. L'Italia, la tua squadra del cuore, si è ritirata nel 2026. Ora sei qui a New York o nel New Jersey. In hotel. Hai fame. Ordini cibo a domicilio.

È ora di un pasto italiano in stile americano! Italian Heroes, preparati con mozzarella fresca di ! Visti (e assaggiati) durante i tour di Made in Brooklyn!

Evviva! Brooklyn ci salva! ;)"

While small businesses may not save the lives (though some do!), they heroically make livelihoods. According to the U.S. Office of Advocacy, in 2025 businesses with less than 500 employees - including many makers - employed 4.1 million people in the NY Metro Area.

The pylons lining the Walk of Honor at the New York City Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza in Downtown Manhattan are engraved with the names and ages of those who were killed or MIA during the war. The youngest was a 15 year old kid from Brooklyn who altered his birth certificate to enlist. On the Memorial Wall one can read the words of those who perished or whose lives were altered by the war. It's like being there the very moment those tragic words were written.

Wishing you a peaceful, reflective Memorial Day.

Below is the entirety of a poem that's engraved on that wall.

If you are able, save them a place inside you,
And save one backward glance when you are leaving,
for the places they can no longer go.

Be not ashamed to say you loved them,
though you may, or may not have always.
Take what they have left, and what they have
taught you with their dying, and keep it as your own.

And in that time that when men decide, and feel safe,
to call the war insane, take one moment,
to embrace these gentle heroes you left behind.

— U.S. Army Major Michael Davis O’Donnell, Killed in Action on March 24, 1970
