I landed in New York City in 2004, and within a few weeks I had my first slice of “good” pizza, first pork dumpling, first mango lassi, and a number of other formative treats. When I wasn’t stressing about my impending financial ruin, I was exploring the city through its food stands and bakeries. As opposed to becoming full-blown foodie, the cost of being a snack snob was relatively low. Dosa, arepas and cappuccinos were attainable little luxuries, traded for a five-spot. I started this site in 2007 with a nod toward newcomers, cheapskates, recovering picky eaters, East Villagers, beer hounds, and cafe-dwellers who use their kitchens for storage. These are my people.

Snackish runs on Wordpress and Cyberhobo’s geomashup plugin powers the map. I generally use a Nikon D40x, iPhone 3GS, or Sony Cybershot for photos. The site and CSS template were designed by yours truly.

About Me

I grew up in upstate New York. I started keeping a journal at the philosophical age of six, and purged my youthful optimism by reading too many novels. The internet was still a novelty when I arrived at college, and I’ve been working in it professionally since I graduated, both in web production and marketing. I’m currently a web producer at a magazine publisher, and part-time grad student at the New School. I also like photography.
