About

A New Yorker at heart. As any true New Yorker knows, you need to get away often to really appreciate the city. I have a home in the Catskills and fly to Miami and internationally often.

Home airports

LGA is a 10-minute early morning ride, but EWR has the best selection of flights and times.

My travel style

I’m all about the personality of a space, and I prefer a mix of boutique hotels and homes over the more commercialized brands. I travel to see something new and always look for non-chain restaurants and things that I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else.

Favorite hotels

Hotel Panache

Right Bank bolthole with a popular brunch, patterns galore, and central location in the bustling 9th.

Soundview Hotel

Refurbished charmer in Greenport, with a nautical look and all-local seafood, soundside restaurant.

Mr. C Beverly Hills

This handsome Beverly Hills hotel has an Old World Euro vibe and lively rooftop pool scene.

What’s one thing you can’t travel without?

My iPhone – I love taking pictures and hate getting lost (unless it's on purpose).

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I am fluent in Russian.

  2. I have been to a safari in India.

  3. I have a house in the countryside.
