About NYC Loves...

You can find themes and generalizations in any city in the world, but, arguably, NYC loves things or loves to hate things with such a ferocity, it's a whole other story. Here you'll find my musings on things NYC loves, through the things I see on a daily basis. Also included: random rantings on things going on in my life and around me.

About this user

I am an on-air reporter for local news in Connecticut and a host of a show on MSG.(and no -I am not Laura Bell Bundy from Legally Blonde despite the musings of DN Bloggers who obviously just hope that by putting down fellow female media gals, they can get an "in" with the male hosts). I also write for an art magazine in the city. Pretty much, my job, ideally, is to make people more informed about the world around them. I also love light-hearted entertainment reporting, hence the work with sports. I would love to one day host a news magazine show that does some longer form, in depth pieces rather than just daily reporting, which gives you only one 1 and a half minutes of on air time to tell viewers about important issues you've chased around for 9 hours. Hey, we have short attention spans, I get it!
PS- Any opinions expressed in the vlogs are by no means a representation of the views of the news organizations for which I work.

Interests

It's safe to say I am an art enthusiast. I was an art history major in college and my aunt owns a gallery in Chelsea (Exit Art). While I studied much Victorian art, my love is Post Modern Installation multimedia works (think Happenings with the gadgets!). Other than that, in my spare time you can catch me having road rage as the only New Yorker who dares to own a car here, being a really bad bowler at Bowlmore Lanes or at the lanes at Penn Station Port Authority (best kept secret!), wasting my money at some terribly pretentious club on 27th street or in the Meatpacking district, and drinking coffee at every cafe I can find.
