2023 was one of the safest years for New York City's pedestrians in 114 years of record-keeping. It was also one of the deadliest for cyclists and other two-wheeled riders. I rummaged through this year's bizarre Vision Zero paradox for Curbed:

How will these tents at Floyd Bennett last the winter? For migrant families, the latest storm meant a frightening, sleepless night.

In a new bill, money from the city's biggest private landlords (Columbia, NYU) would go to CUNY - imagine that!

Very excited to share that Curbed has hired Adriane Quinlan as a staff writer. You may have devoured her stories for a while now but today is her first official day. Hooray for us!

An increasingly popular landlord tactic - tanking tenants’ credit scores

My piece in New York Magazine about witnessing the horrors in Gaza through social media. Everything normal right now is obscene, including sitting down to articulate this moment. My heart is in Gaza. #CeasefireNow 🇵🇸 nymag.com/intelligencer/…

I wrote about DJ Envy’s business partner accused of running a real estate Ponzi scheme. It is as New Jersey as New Jersey gets. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

When we began to see our parent text threads blow up with warnings about 'fentanyl trash cans' in our playgrounds, we had to investigate. In the process clio found it touched upon a lot of other fears, and also led to some amazing civic action curbed.com/2023/11/fentan…

When Justin Davidson went to the largest Hindu temple in the Western Hemisphere (in New Jersey of all places) I failed to realize it would also involve Modi and Indian American diasporic anxiety! This review was a journey curbed.com/2023/11/new-je…

For @curbed, I poked around in the Barbara Walters collection, where I found a red Eames chair, a Georgian warming dish with bird legs, and a lot of monograms trib.al/LU7rggu

A report from Bay Ridge's Palestinian enclave, where people are grieving, praying and organizing rallies, despite the backlash against those publicly calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, by ish curbed.com/2023/11/gaza-b…

'Why isn’t it the right of the Palestinians to live in peace, with freedom and safety?' he asked, 'Palestinians don’t have a right to live and that they’re lower than animals. That is the opinion of the American government and the Western governments.”

My latest for Curbed

'Are these giant flood gates really necessary?' I'd wondered aloud many times walking along the East River. For @curbed, Christopher Bonanos takes a walk with the commissioner in charge to tell us why these 10-foot-tall gates are going up and how they'll work curbed.com/2023/10/east-s…

Interesting to read how the Bernheimer union is learning from the writers' strike provisions on AI and from a 1980s Swedish case study archpaper.com/2023/10/open-l…

A properly zingy review of Heatherwick's new book by Justin Davidson as he stares down the arguments the architect makes about why so many buildings these days are boring curbed.com/2023/10/thomas…

I called about 25 people to write about 250 words on the true power of a gallerist who can recruit artists, book shows, collab with fashion brands, and, perhaps most importantly, whisper into her father's ear.
