The word "transplant" always invokes negative images of hair plugs for me until I met this LA transplant who fuses the Cali 'tude with the slickness of a New Yorker.
Name: Leroy aka Frijoles (Beans)
Occupation: Art Director
Dream Occupation: Monopolizing the New York City fish taco market.
Hometown: LA
What does your nickname mean? Because I'm Mexican. It's a racially motivated term of endearment.
Who's your favorite graphic designer right now? Stephen Sagmeister.
Best meal under $15 in the city? The Delta Grill in Hell's Kitchen. Pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries for $10. It's called the Po' boy.
LA v. NY - Who would win in a fight? New York hands down. When I first moved here I got cussed out by an old lady on the subway. Even the elderly here are vicious.
