Robbyne KaamilComedian, Actress, and New Yorker Robbyne Kaamil is not afraid to sit you down and tell you how it REALLY is. She stars in her own one woman show Raw & Real which explores the worlds of politics, racism, relationships, and sex with her “raunchy, over the top, in-your-face demeanor” like no one else.
We decided to ask a diverse group of young movers and shakers across the city where they like to hang out. Places that are under the radar, "best kept secrets" if you will. See what they have to say

Around 8:30 this morning, the AP began reporting about ANOTHER crane collapse on the East Side, at 91st and 1st Avenue. This follows the crane collapse that killed seven people two months ago on 52nd and 2nd Avenue, which now leaves less confidence than ever with New York”s adherence to construction codes, particularly on the East Side. (And the collapses seem to be creeping closer and closer to my apartment, which also does not inspire confidence with all the luxury condo buildings going up in the area, which was bad enough in guaranteeing the near-constant skull-numbing noise of jackhammering.)
Apparently the top half of the crane broke off and fell into the top of a high-rise building across the street. Two people have already been killed and others were pulled out of the wreckage. Note to Department of Buildings: Get it together. New Yorkers have enough to worry about without adding the risk of crane parts falling out of the sky into our overpriced apartments and killing us. Seriously.
right across the street from my boyfriend’s apt. absurd. and sickening.

That’s awful-I hope he’s okay! Scary that it was so damn close, did he know anyone in the building? I sincerely hope they inspect more carefully now that this has happened TWICE. And so far the death toll is nine.

I heard about the evacuations, and people are PISSED! I mean, I would be too if I had to camp out in a school gym without access to my personal belongings after my apartment was wrecked. Glad they’re okay. It happened too close for comfort to my apartment, and I was several blocks away.
