New York Contributor

Kyle is Canadian born and bred, but has lived in New York since 2011. She came to restaurant writing by first covering home cooking for publications like Bon Appétit and Taste. Her love of restaurants started in her late teens when she was working front of house. After passionately eating her way through the city, she was finally qualified to put her research to work and write about restaurants. If she’s not traveling, she dabbles in travel journalism. You can also find her toiling away on a script — she writes those, too.

Fun Facts

  • Lives in
    Lower East Side, New York
  • Favorite slice in NYC
    Scarr’s.
  • Drink of choice
    Dirty vodka martini, on the rocks.
  • Favorite food city
    Athens.
  • Next on your bucket list
    Apteka in Pittsburgh, Oyster Oyster in D.C., and, a little basic, but for someone who used to live in Copenhagen, I’m embarrassed I’ve never been to Noma.
  • Your Ratatouille moment
    Ice cream waffles (the hot waffle and the melting ice cream was 6-year-old food kismet).
  • Pro tip for diners
    Dine before 6 p.m. or after 9:30, never at 7 (if you don’t have a Resy, that is).
