I may not be a historian, but man, do I love New York City.

Born to two born-and-raised New Yorkers, this city — its history, its contradictions, its relentless energy — has been my obsession for as long as I can remember.

I spend my spare time going on 20-mile walks across all five boroughs, immersing myself in NYC history and keeping my ear to the ground on what really makes New Yorkers tick.

New York is a wild place.

I hope you'll join me as we unpack it.
