Walking towards the other tents, my husband and I were parched and seeking some water. Grabbing some Evian, we kept looking for food. People pay around $200 for tickets to come in here, and the food to wine and spirits ratio is slim to few. It took us awhile to just grab some bites from Lola's in Harrison (delicious BBQ/Coca-Cola smothered meat on a potato chip) and China Grill.

I listened to some loud salsa and merenge music and noticed there was a Puerto Rico tent in "da' house". Say what? Being born and raised in the island I thought this was super cool. I walked inside the jam-packed area where people were dining on shrimp and local native bites and bumped into my old professor from Sacred Heart University, Edaliz Ferrer. She graduated me, peeps...it was odd to bump into her as I pulled my hair frantically into a ponytail to avoid the humity in the tents located on 13th and Ocean Drive.

Posing for a picture, I thanked her for having some yummy food at her tent.
