I'm bold. I'm stubborn. I'm driven. I love traveling, cooking, wine and photography. I grew up spending a lot of time outdoors. I care deeply about the social and environmental repercussions of the choices I make in food. You can ask me anything else.

I was also once in the New York Times.

Enjoying and exploring the city.
Planning my next escape.
Not using my degree in elementary education.
Working with an amazing group of people.

Talking. Listening. Remembering details that aren't necessarily useful, but are interesting. Keeping the attention of large groups of small children. Making quiche. Boozey brunch. Singing, not especially well, but with a lot of enthusiasm. Stargazing. Campfires. Roadtrips. Inadvertently stealing the show in photo booths. See above.

My eyes, my hair... so says my roommate

Books: Song of Ice and Fire series. Catch-22. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Anything by Michael Pollan. Books abandoned on break room tables.
Shows: Dexter. Breaking Bad. Game of Thrones. Girls. Arrested Development. All streamed illegally.
Music: most things that aren't country. Boring, I know.
Food: Anything high quality. Artichoke Pizza. Chavela's. Cooking for myself.

Not necessarily in that order

Puppies.

If this train were to get stuck underground and there was no way to escape, who would be first to die? Who would be the first to kill?

Enjoying a few drinks with those I love. Eating good food with good company. Sometimes going to bed early because I love sleep.
Or at dive bars that serve popcorn. I guess that's any typical night, though.

I once got pulled over on my bike by a cop on a bike. It was not the first time I got a ticket from a cop on a bike.

You want to join me on my search for the perfect Manhattan. Bonus points if its not in Manhattan.
Or if you just feel like it.
