Hobbies
In my spare time, I enjoy jogging in Central Park, trying new restaurants in the village, and, yes, reading. (Current read: "Better Living Through Criticism" by A.O. Scott -- one of my favorite critics.) I also freelance and have been published by VICE, Travel + Leisure, LA Review of Books, Slate, Salon, Decider.com, and more.
