WORK

I Like food, Food Tastes Good [Hyperion]

More than 100 bands contributed recipes to my cookbook, which built the perfect bridge between my music and food-writing endeavors.

Brooklyn Based

As the food and drink columnist, I spent five delicious years eating frozen treats, reviewing new restaurants, and interviewing chefs.

PoDcast: In Weird Cities

Listen to the story of a city told by the musicians who live there. In Athens, Georgia, I got the rare chance to interview R.E.M.’s founding drummer, Bill Berry.

Brooklyn DoubleWide

A lifelong Catskills weekender, I have been covering the kid-friendly hidden gems of the Hudson Valley and Upstate New York since 2016.

Times-Union

I’ve covered beer, hotels, drive-ins, dude ranches, and Hudson Valley towns for the Times-Union, but my favorite story was about the Foreland Art Space in Catskill.

CapNY

As a parent contributor to CapNY, I covered skiing and snow-tubing as well as kid-friendly historical sites and the Art Omni sculpture park.
