Amy Plitt’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I'm the editor of Curbed NY, the website for people who love where they live—particularly if that place is New York City.

I currently live in Brooklyn, where I like to commandeer the jukebox at a number of Park Slope dive bars. I’m also interested in cats, beer, British music from the mid- to late-’90s, biking, feminism and cooking elaborate meals in my tiny kitchen.

The Perfect Weekend in Philadelphia

By Jessica Chapel Verified, Amy Plitt
| Columbus Ledger-Enquirer Verified
Philadelphia is the ever-evolving City of Brotherly Love. While it will forever be the "birthplace" of the United States-and that is a great attraction-we've come a long way from the Liberty Bell. The vibrant feel of this historical city is undeniable, legendary, and on the rise. From museums to murals and markets to speakeasies -there's always a new happening in a new scene.

What was your first job as a journalist?

My first writing assignment was a piece for Time Out New York Kids, but my first job was as the assistant to the managing editor at TONY.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! I worked for a book publisher in college (doing customer service) that used one for all correspondence. And this was in 2001.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Always, always through e-mail. I look at every pitch I receive; timely, interesting/new stories about NYC are best!
