I’m a third-generation Italian American from Brooklyn, New York. I write about travel, hotels, food, drinks, and all that good stuff.

I grew up in a supermarket family that created a “fantasy food store” on Long Island and in South Florida. As a kid in the nineties, when the carpeting and smoke-filled rooms of the previous decades were ripped up and torn down, I became skeptical of everything contemporary and new. Obsessed with what was there before, and before that, and before that, I continue to push against the grain of newness, and reject the premise that what’s new is necessarily newsworthy.

When I’m not writing, you’ll find me at L&B Spumoni Gardens. I’d rather be in Napoli.

Send me an email! I’m not on social media.
