About Me

I own a restoration studio in LIC, NY, and I make things. You can read more if you're interested.

Join me at

ASTORIA MARKET'S PRE-VALENTINE'S DAY EVENT!

TimeOut New York / New York Neighborhoods: A Day in Long Island City / September 2011

"The space features whitewashed exposed- brick walls and a menu that incorporates produce from the Farm at Miller’s Crossing in Hudson, New York. Start with the pleasantly bitter endive salad with grana padano cheese ($7), and then sample chef Alex Schindler’s spicy spaghetti, with roasted corn and jalapeños ($11)."
