Art history isn't just for debutantes - I made a career out of it. I went to school at Barnard and after I graduated I worked for a big fancy gallery for six years before quitting to go out on my own, write for magazines and work for a curator. Working backwards, I grew up on Long Island and lived in the same house from age 0-18. I was a huge nerd (think Welcome to the Dollhouse) until high school when I turned quasi-bad-girl and stayed a little wild through college and my early twenties. Now at the ripe old age of 28 I am really happy, adventurous without being rebellious and nerdy without the big glasses.
I was born and raised in NYC, so I've seen and done a lot around here. Suggestions below are, for the most part, activities I haven’t yet tried but would love to experience.

Born in the Midwest, grew up in Florida, but a New Yorker at heart:) Moved to Brooklyn last month (after 5 years in Manhattan) and loving it. I value sense of humor, creativity and good conversation. Love exploring the city....restaurants, bars, films, parks, galleries, coffee shops, farmers markets etc.
About the time that Cameron Diaz came into my gallery and I had to be completely straight faced
If I could be any building in the city (I'm a native New Yorker), I'd choose the Chrysler- who doesn't love Art Deco- or maybe my favorite brownstone off Lexington Avenue. I've been passionate about architecture and fine art since childhood- I grew up spending a lot of my weekends at the Met with a sketchbook. Since college I've worked in the art world, first at Christie's and now at a gallery. I’d say I’m a bit old fashioned- I definitely prefer phone calls to emails and old movies to blockbusters (especially Hitchcock). I'm really looking forward to fall and taking drives to see the foliage.
I'm an avid far-flung traveller and am fortunate to have visited 40 countries throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Per each region, briefly, some of my favorite destinations have included: the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy; the Pyramids in Giza, Egypt; the Taj Mahal in Agra, India; and basically, all of the ornate temples in Bangkok, Thailand.
I've had the chance to travel a lot. some of the most memorable, a Redwood forest right outside of Medocino. One art gallery owner I met called it the "Enchanted Forest", and she was right. Let me see, others that rank up there... -The top of Table Mountain in Cape Town and Soweto in Johannesburg -The top of the Space Needle in Seattle -The Tower of London.
Currently an English major in college, with hopes of going to law school. I'm a musician, and a photographer. I enjoy going to concerts, going to cafes, galleries, and museums. I love to travel and take roadtrips but i haven't been able to recently.
