I moved to New York City in 2004, and within a few weeks had a number of formative eating experiences: my first slice of “good pizza,” first pork dumpling, first arepa, and so on. When I wasn’t stressing about my finances, I was exploring the city through its food stands, bars, and bakeries. Whereas becoming a full-blown foodie seemed beyond my means at the time, the cost of being a snack expert was relatively low. I started this site in 2007 with a nod toward newcomers, cheapskates, recovering picky eaters, beer hounds, East Villagers, and cafe-dwellers who use their kitchens for storage.
I’m a web producer at a magazine publisher and an occasional writer and photographer. My photos have appeared in stories on NYmag.com, VillageVoice.com, Gothamist.com, NotForTourists.com, Guardian.co.uk, Eater.com, HVmag.com, Chron.com, and other sites. Snackish runs on WordPress, and I designed the current theme. Many thanks to Cyberhobo, whose geomashup plugin powers the map you’ll find here and on the post permalinks.

Beyond the world of snacks, I’m also on Twitter and sometimes post randomness on Tumblr.

i stumbled upon your blog while googling abraco (which, along with ninth street and others serves counter culture coffee). just curious, have you been to snacky in williamsburg (on grand)? an old friend of mine introduced me to it years ago and i very fondly remember the kim chi hot dog. (yes, kim chi hot dog.) anyhow, simply b/c it’s called snacky, i thought you might wanna know about it. saludos, nathan

You read my mind… I’ve been meaning to check out Snacky (as well as Schnack), purely because of the name, but now that hot dog has piqued my curiosity.
