Experience
Amber's first foray into journalism as an undergraduate intern and party reporter at New York Magazine had her covering breakfast, nightlife, and much of what lies between. Shortly after graduation, she was hired as a reporter at the New York Post, where she covered the Angostura bitters shortage disrupting Manhattans in Manhattan, super-luxe menu items all over town, literal and figurative underground food purveyors, and cryptocurrency's fledgling entrée to hospitality, also hosting videos illuminating those themes. After a more formal tenure in television at Inside Edition, she was the editor of Thrillist New York and then the chief restaurant critic and food and drink editor at Time Out New York. In addition to her present work with Chowhound, her name has also appeared in States by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs' Villa Albertine, Page Six, and The New York Times; the latter two as a topic herself.
Education
Amber has a Bachelor of Arts in writing from Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at The New School.
