Inside JVP: An interview with Jhoany Benitez by Ben Kharakh
I’ve seen a lot of people pass through the JVP’s Internet doors, so I don’t start to think of someone as a regular until they’ve made a sizable amount of contributions. I first noticed Jhoany at meetings in the Spring of 2010, but it wasn’t until this Fall that she’d really proved herself to be one of JVP’s MVPs. If the JVP is a sports team, then Jhoany is whatever position one who is more familiar with sports than myself would reference in order to make an effective analogy
Jane Lynch, 50 Years Old and on Nickelodeon ~ Rebecca Zandstein
When I think Jane Lynch, I think, ‘gay’. She was the brutally honest, straight-forward sugah momma in the hit show The L Word, which came to an end shortly before her rebranding.

Kimbab in the City – Rebecca Zandstein
I never realized that New York City was home to a Koreatown. Though it might be a block long, it left me more satisfied than the entire length of Canal Street. While I was strolling down West 32nd St, the center of Koreatown, I skipped in and out of a Korean market, and peered into all of the noodle and Korean barbecue shops. Thankfully, I found a small “hole-in-the-wall” shop that makes beautiful, delicious, large, and cheap kimbab.
Tofu, Done Well – Rebecca Zandstein
As a “carbaholic” and one who loves Morningstar Farms, minus the products with sesame oil, I find that making a quick sandwich stuffed with protein, veggies, and sauce is a… Read more

Vegetarian Voyage…to DC & Baltimore – Rebecca Zandstein
The cliché Cancun and blackouts from consuming cheap alochol were never my spring break fantasy. I prefer traveling to disover cuisines and new dishes and flavors. Spending $40 on gasoline… Read more
