About The Writers

Anthony Lobosco- Founder, neighborbee

Anthony is originally from Long Island and has lived in Manhattan for 10 years. He went to Fordham twice - the first time for college and the second time for business school. He’s good at surrounding himself with really smart people that do most of the work for him.

Kate Miltner- Managing Editor

Kate started blogging in 2006 with her now-defunct blog Logged Hours (she now has a tumblr ). By day, she works in advertising. By night, she takes photos. She does not sleep, but types 65 words per minute.

Dashiell Bennett- Film

Dash is a freelance writer and editor who has worked for Gawker Media, Excite and other online properties. He spent most of the time on his old blog reviewing movies he had not seen and complaining about his alma mater’s football team. He currently lives in Brooklyn.

Chris Carrara- Manhattan

Chris Carrara eats, sleeps, and breathes all things New York. An advertising worker bee by day, Chris also writes his own blog, East Village Idiot, and hosts Monday Night Trivia at Arrow Bar in the East Village. He likes the “Old New York” and the “New New York,” he likes pizza and sushi, and he’ll have his cake and eat it, too… as long as there’s ice cream on the side.

Mardie Cohen- Theatre

Mardie Cohen is the theater blogger for neighborbee. She works in marketing for a leading children’s book publisher and loves it a whole lot. When she’s not writing about duckies and prom, she spends her time singing at various venues in the city, obsessing over her DVR, and window shopping on 5th Avenue. She’s not an actress now, but spent many of her days immersed in musical theater from childhood through college and has since emerged with an abundant knowledge of useless Broadway trivia. Her favorite show is Ruthless. And she was never on Law & Order.

Brian Hansbury- Dating

Brian is an idiot masquerading as not an idiot. He is a professional voice over artist who has done work for Expedia, AT&T Wireless and MSG Plus, to name a few. Also a sketch comedian, Brian performs around Manhattan with his sketch comedy group Perv Griffin. If you see him on the street, give him ten dollars.

Nick McGlynn- Photos & Nightlife

Nick likes to take photos and attend parties. He also loves to travel and explore the city on his Vespa. He has a website called Random Night Out where he posts photo albums of his many adventures! If you enjoy that site, you may enjoy his other sites Animal Insider or White People Trying To Look Serious . He encourages you to browse his portfolio or add him to Facebook .

Doug Miller- Sports

Doug likes sports immensely, a fact that some ex-girlfriends have called “worrying” and “just cause for dismissal.” He hails from the far reaches of western New York, and while he remains true to the Buffalo Sabres and Bills, he’s found plenty to enjoy in the Big Apple. When not sharing tips about cheap and fun ways to enjoy different facets of sports in NYC, he can be found out playing dodgeball, kickball, or some other middle school-esque sport.

Jaime Morelli- Brooklyn

Jaime enjoys emptying her DVR and traveling to foreign countries with questionable toilet facilities. She may never leave Brooklyn.

Kat Rosenfield- Books

Kat has been avidly interested in books since age eleven, when her mother handed her a copy of Ira Levin’s This Perfect Day and said, “Here, read this; there’s sex in it!” When she’s not prattling on about the literary scene for neighborbee, she works as a writer at a non-profit consulting firm, contributes to the occasional magazine, and keeps a blog that contains far too much swearing and a startling number of stories about penises. Her work has appeared in publications including Interiors, Antiques & the Arts Weekly, and Girls’ Life.

Lara Ruth- Food

Lara hails from the great Southern state of Alabama. She’s been city hopping along the East Coast (from Miami to DC) before arriving in NYC. She can’t cook to save her life, but she is well experienced in the art of ordering off of menus in tasty places. She’s especially in hot pursuit of new brunch locales and the ever elusive good Mexican restaurant in New York. She’s a firm believer that smart diners always make dessert a priority. By day she works a 9-5 corporate job, but on the side she is an frequent poster on her personal blog, Grits In The City and is also working on her first book.

Greg Rutter- Art

Greg Rutter: He is many things to many people, but most of all he is unbelievably handsome. When he’s not being handsome he enjoys being rich, running Whatevs.net, working as an advertising copywriter, and being great in bed.

Angela Williams- Fashion

Two years in Paris, a brief stint in the buying department at Bendel’s, and an unforgettable year at Conde Nast helped defined Angela’s personal style: quirky, post-avant garde meets J. Crew 1/2 off. Armed with the best Vogue’s (Teen & French), she constantly seeks out purveyors of exquisite clothing to translate the what’s-in-here to the what’s-out-there. Angela works in the independent music community and lives in Brooklyn.

Adam Winer- Comedy

Adam Winer is a panelist on VH1’s Best Week Ever, the network’s premier show not starring Flavor Flav. He spent six years as an editor at the literary magazine FHM, but now toils as a freelance writer. His writing has appeared in such powerhouse media outlets as ESPN the Magazine, Maxim, Wired and neighborbee. He doesn’t so much write his neighborbee entries as much as he does trick funnier people into writing them for him.

Amanda Wolfe- Events

Amanda is a nonprofit event planner. Yes, she throws parties for living! But for a good cause. When she’s not working, Amanda spends her time seeing a lot of Broadway shows, rounding up her friends for happy hour and obsessively logging onto the Momofuku Ko site with hopes for a reservation. She has been told that she is an excellent three-hour drunk brunch buddy.

Stephanie Young- Kids & Family

Stephanie has been writing for the Internets for longer than she’d care to admit, much to the dismay of close relatives who are still trying to understand this whole blog “phenomenon.” She’s a quasi-expert on anything relating to crib bedding and children’s book authors, due to her work for a parenting site that focuses on both of those things, among others. She’s obsessed with bagels and diners, which comes along naturally with being from New Jersey. A self-proclaimed telelvision junkie, she doesn’t know what she would do without DVR or Netflix.
