Read moreDetailsWendy Blake writes primarily about arts and culture. She helps develop books and other projects for private clients, has worked as a communications specialist for the ACLU, been an award-winning copywriter, and was online editor for Crain’s New York Business. She is also a published poet and photographer. Her roots in the city are deep—she’s descended from the settler who drafted the first map of New Amsterdam. And the UWS appealed to her early on: she fell in love with the blue whale room at the American Museum of Natural History during visits with her grandfather. She also appreciates the neighborhood’s dog-friendliness and architecture. @wendyblakephoto, wendywestsider@gmail.com
