Writing about food is probably the most enjoyable sector in the entire world of writing.
But it’s not as easy as you think…
To eat, taste and enjoy a meal is one thing, but to write a powerful article about the entire experience – that will entice a reader to go to a place and eat that dish – is a totally different story. Not easy at all…
Along the years, we had some amazing writers who joined NYSF (or NewYorkStreetFood.com). These highly talented guys and gals are true artists. They know how to craft the food they eat and the emotions it creates, into delicious sentences that make you drool like a dog.
So without saying no more, here’s our team of writers who contribute to New York’s food scene:
