Carina Finn
Former NYC Staff Writer
Carina was born in Brooklyn and has spent most of her life eating across the five boroughs, so she’s highly opinionated about the city’s best food. After earning a BA and then an MFA in Creative Writing, she bummed around kitchens, worked in marketing, managed a rock climbing gym, and generally avoided writing for money until she fell in love with writing about food. In her nonexistent spare time, she writes books for kids and spends as much time outdoors as possible.
