Introducing...Kid Kitsch!

Kid Kitsch is a Middle Eastern scholar (well, technically still a student) who recently moved to the Lower East Side from her home far, far away.  As a recent import, she'll be our New York correspondent, writing about food and (mostly) underground fashion and music as well as whatever else she encounters wandering around the streets (and dipping into the different scenes) of Manhattan and Brooklyn. You may have already seen her around town, taking the subway in one of her fabulous eighties hipster outfits, rolling her own cigarettes outside a bar to avoid paying $11 a pack, or rocking out to electro at a loft party.  She'll have a busy semester, but we're glad to have her checking in every once and a while from the "scene".
