Hailing from a food-obsessed household in central New Jersey, I fell in love with Astoria about a thousand times (like when I saw fig trees growing in people’s front yards!) before finally moving to the neighborhood two and a half years ago. I indulge my love of food and Astoria daily on Twitter and, occasionally, here on this blog. This year, I was honored to be interviewed in the Village Voice’s Fork in the Road food blog about my love of food in Astoria. When not talking about food, I can be found working full-time for a non-profit doing anti-violence work, exploring New York neighborhoods on foot, or having a beer.
