New York City is a vast metropolis with lots of nooks and crannies, and a plethora of things to see and do.

Won't Back Down Movie Poster

After an advanced screening of Won’t Back Down at the Fox Screening Room this past Sunday, I was LUCKY to have the rare opportunity to interview many of the talented ensemble from the powerful film in an intimate round-table setting at The Ritz Carlton along with four other bloggers.
