Always looking for the next adventure, Michelle has traveled to over 40 countries, always with an S LR camera in tow, and as a Juilliard-trained cellist, toured around the United States as a cellist in an indie rock band. Laura Itzkowitz grew up near Boston and lived in Paris and Rome before moving to New York City, though she comes from a long line of (outer borough) New Yorkers. She writes for Travel + Leisure, Fodor’s Travel, Refinery29, Saveur, and is an editor at Untapped Cities. She contributed to Fodor's Travel's forthcoming Brooklyn guidebook, writing the guides to her neighbourhood (Greenpoint) and nearby Williamsburg. She holds a Masters of Fine Arts in creative writing and translation from Columbia University's School of the Arts and a B.A. from Smith College. She has been featured as a New York expert blogger in Time Out New York and named one of Hotel Club's Top 20 NYC bloggers. She likes her gin shaken, not stirred, and loves it when a bartender can surprise her with a new cocktail.
