about me

Hi!  I’m Leslie.  I’m 24, I live in Manhattan, and I write this blog.  [For more about the blog, click here.]

Some rather irrelevant personal background:

  • I didn’t eat a single fruit or vegetable before the age of seventeen.
  • I am a 100% urban girl and can’t imagine living outside a city again.  The exception occurs in the summer, when I rekindle my fiery love affair with the beach.
  • I have an incredible family.  I live with my older sister, my parents have been happily married for more than thirty years, and hanging out as a foursome is one of my very favorite activities. [I also learned my love of food from their example, and sharing wine and a meal, whether at a gourmet restaurant or home-cooked by my mom, is one of our classic family pastimes.]
  • I adore wine.  And dark, bitter chocolate.  And black coffee.
  • I lived in Prague for a year after college, following a semester there and another in London.  Living, working, and traveling abroad transformed my views on the world and will always be a priority in my life.
  • I graduated from NYU, where I designed my own major.  This means that I cannot participate in most conversations about college life.  But, you know, my dorm room had a dishwasher, and I wore dresses to 8AM classes. 
  • I work at a performing arts center in the city.  I get to write every day and am lucky to have a job I truly enjoy.
  • Fresh produce is my favorite thing to spend money on, closely followed by vintage clothing and decor.
  • I’m a work-in-progress, and I like it that way.
