We asked Meridith to tell us a bit about herself and here’s what she said: “I’m a New Yorker, a mother to my daughter Eddy Rose, a partner to my tattooer/singer husband, and an East Village vintage store owner. Hobbies during the pandemic include decorating my houses and then redecorating them. Perfecting Angelicas Kitchen Soba Sensation (if you know you know), and being the best boat captain on our upstate lake. I’ll get you up on water skis. Pre-pandemic: flea marketing, antiquing, and buying for my shop!”

WHAT WOULD THE TITLE OF YOUR AUTOBIOGRAPHY BE?
I don’t know if that does it for me.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN NYC?
Shop the 26th St Garage Flea Market. I pretend it still exists.

IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ONE PERSON TO SHOW YOU “THEIR NEW YORK CITY,” WHO WOULD IT BE?
Early ’80s Madonna.

Kamala Harris. No explanation necessary.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE NYC RESTAURANTS? WHAT DO YOU ORDER THERE?

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR UNDER-THE-RADAR MUST-DO RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NYC VISITORS?
Walk around my neighborhood in West Harlem and go to Riverbank Park. It’s beautiful.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE NYC STORES AND WHY?

WHEN YOU THINK OF NYC, ARE THERE ANY PARTICULAR EMOTIONS OR MEMORIES THAT IMMEDIATELY COME TO MIND?
