You might know it as Giants Stadium, or the Meadowlands, or MetLife Stadium, depending on your age and team allegiance. For the 2026 World Cup it’s been temporarily renamed NY/NJ Stadium. As nearly an estimated 2 billion people tune-in to the stadium for the World Cup Final, we visit the community just beyond the stadium’s gates, East Rutherford. Population 10,566.

Stadium neighbor and avid runner, Medoune, takes us to @eroscafe_nj to meet owners, Rhea, and Dimitri. Eros is an absolute gem. Here Mediterranean flavors blend harmoniously with Caribbean vibes. The result is Greek - Latin cuisine. It’s a unique marriage that feels like something that could only happen in New York - New Jersey. 

We capped off the day with a spread of perfectly grilled Lamb Chomps alongside tostones and yucca, topped with mojo and caramelized red onions, beef and lamb empanadas, seafood paella, and homemade pita with tzatziki sauce. To wash it down Dimitri paired it all perfectly with the criminally under-valued Moschofilero wine from Ktima Voyatzi. 

We’ll be back. And we’re bringing friends.

15 minutes. 24 frames. One Iconic Cover. 🎯

​Before Reasonable Doubt changed everything, Jaÿ-Z was just a hungry entrepreneur willing to do whatever it took to get ahead—even offering to pay the printing costs for his first cover. But the streets (and the staff at Stress Magazine) knew his worth, and the cover was earned, not bought. 🗽

Shout Outs to my brother @alankets
And @veebravo

​I waited hours at the Roc-A-Fella offices near Wall Street. When Jay finally stepped out, he was standoffish, urgent, and gave me exactly 15 minutes before his next meeting. I had to adjust to his energy and work with the lines of the city. 🏙️

​Looking back at these contact sheets, you can see my "Sniper" mentality. 

I saw the geometric lines forming around the Twin Towers and placed Jay right in the heart of them. He wasn't just a rapper in this shot; he was a building among buildings—a prelude to the billion-dollar empire he was about to build and the only one standing. 🏗️💰

After I got the 2 rolls of 120 film. Exactly 24 shots. 20 images. That was it. Film was a totally different ball game. Photographers from today will never understand that pressure. But hey. We gotta evolve. 

After I got the film we went to Stress Magazine office and worked with new commer @slanginc whom I hired straight out of college and my bother went to do some amazing graphic work and art. A legend amongst legends too!!! 

​Rarely seen frames from a moment that defined the New York skyline and the future of Hip-Hop.
