WHAT WOULD THE TITLE OF YOUR AUTOBIOGRAPHY BE? My Life In Hotels: Part One

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TRAVEL DESTINATION? Tough one… London because it’s home, Berlin because it’s the last bastion of metropolitan freedom… and India because it’s the perfect mix of madness and romance.

WHAT CAN’T YOU TRAVEL WITHOUT? Surface Magazine – Creative brain food.

IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ONE PERSON TO SHOW YOU “THEIR NEW YORK CITY,” WHO WOULD IT BE? Ha… Lysa Cooper!

WHAT ALBUM OR SONG WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOUR SOUNDTRACK TO NYC? It’s gotta be The Strokes – Last Night…

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE BRUNCH SPOT? Five Leaves – the house made ricotta with honeycomb is off the charts.
