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

My boss went to Turkey and all I got was this picture of her in the Grand Bazaar!
Seriously, she went over to Istanbul to transact business and it seems like she got caught in the Bazaar for the week. The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is the world’s largest indoor market, covering around 58 streets and featuring 4,000 shops. I got several pictures daily from my boss via camera phone from inside the Bazaar, documenting her sweet finds. I can’t blame her for spending all her time in this covered market. It has so many interesting things to choose from: clothes, leather goods, accessories, home decorations, gold, artwork–really anything.
The Bazaar is so rich in culture and history and could alone warrant a trip to Istanbul. The most popular finds in the Grand Bazaar are of course amazing Turkish woven rugs, followed by textiles of many rich colors and patterns, shatooshe (the proper and better form of a pashmina) and jewelry. And by the way, I did get more than the pic: I got a fabulous woven green blanket to throw over my bed. Now that’s a good boss!
I’ve always wanted to go to Istanbul–and a large part of that is to wander through the Grand Bazaar
I’m going in August — For the last week I’ve been drawing pictures of the view I want/expect from my hotel — CAN’T WAIT!
