 » Viva New York is a "Hispanic interest" section running once a month in the New York Daily News. I started contributing to VNY in its former life as a Sunday magazine and since January '07 I sometimes write the hiddenny section, where I tell little-known stories from Latino Nueva York.

Diego's cover story for the November 2005 issue.

› Every-Night Fever at the Milonga: In hiddenny's first story, I stayed out late to discover the world of the tango social gatherings that take place every night of the week at different Manhattan spots.

› Leaving Wall Street: To tell the story of how Brendan Martin left New York for Buenos Aires, inspired by an anti-globalization documentary, I interviewed him in both cities.

› Ropa Vieja, New Owners: The Cuban population in New York has shrunk over the last few decades, but the number of Cuban restaurants keeps growing. I visited them to meet those behind the counter.

› Going to the Mat: My first contribution to VNY was a cover story on New York's Latino politicians facing off before 2005's historic mayoral election, with some of them supporting the Hispanic candidate Fernando Ferrer and others siding with ultimately-triumphant Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
