Melody writes for The New York Times, Nylon, and New York Magazine. She’s a downtown girl obsessed with finding the coolest hidden hotspots. Her friends are a casting director's dream: hipsters, musicians, filmmakers, and stylists. She favors the exclusive, undiscovered, or totally unexpected. She’s a master mixer: her outfits are part designer, part discount; her nights out are half dive bar, half secret fashion party. She loves new designers, new bands, new parties, and really cheap restaurants, but there's one thing she doesn't love: getting up early – she only wakes up before noon if rock stars and/ or chocolate are involved.
