A big announcement…
July 11, 2012
We’re moving to New York in three weeks! I can’t wait to get lost in far corners of The Met, see plays with my little brother, and establish a proper Matchbook headquarters (hip hip hooray!). I’m flying out on Sunday to find an apartment so if you know of a pug-friendly studio or one-bedroom in your building I’d love to hear (katie@theneotraditionalist.com)! Oh and do say hello in the comments if you’re a New Yorker — I can’t wait to meet all of you!
P.S. I’ll be publishing our current apartment in Matchbook’s upcoming August issue. I hope you like it! Leaving the San Francisco bay will be bittersweet indeed.
“When I first saw New York I was twenty, and it was summertime, and I got off a DC-7 at the old Idlewild temporary terminal in a new dress which had seemed very smart in Sacramento but seemed less smart already…” -Joan Didion

Hey Katie! We just moved to New York as well from LA. We lived in Brooklyn before but that was before my blogging days and before my new adventure into being my own boss. Would love to connect with you and other design geeks in the city!

Such an exciting move! My husband and I moved out here 2 years ago for him to go to law school and me to design, and we LOVE it. We recently moved to the Upper West Side, which I absolutely suggest looking into. We live on a beautiful, tree-lined street, only a block away from Central Park… it’s pretty magical. :) Good luck!

I’ve been a New Yorker my whole life and LOVE matchbook. I’m going into my sophomore year at UT Austin as a journalist major with a focus on digital arts and media. If you are taking interns next summer in your new offices, I would LOVE to be considered!

I’m a New Yorker, going on year 4, still so much to see- wonder if I’ll ever get tired of it… Doubtful. Excited to see what cool places you uncover with your new permanent resident status! Maybe Matchbook will host a NYC blogger/design conference? :) what fun that would be! Congrats and best of luck with move!!

I am a long time follower of your site and am so happy to hear you are bound for NYC. If you are interested in downtown, the buidling I am in is fabulous and VERY dog friendly–dog park less than a block away. I am a little late on this but if you have not found a place, e mail me and I can get you details. Good luck!
