The place to be on Super Bowl Sunday was at Tosca Cafe, 4038 East Tremont Ave in the Bronx, featuring a decadent free buffet of hot pretzels, popcorn, Miami Cuban sandwiches, fried yuca and wings. The waitresses & bartenders of Tosca enhanced the atmosphere by dressing in one of the Superbowl Team Colors and naming themselves the T-Birdies.

He's 22, about six feet tall, 180 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and tattoos of a red scorpion holding a heart with letters on the left side of his neck, and a star on the right side.
