About Brooklyn Based

Nicole Davis, Founder and Publisher

Nicole has worked at and written for national magazines, and edited the arts sections of downtown Manhattan weeklies, but sending bleemails* about the borough she loves best is her true calling. She moved to BK in 1997 and spent ten years in Clinton Hill. Now she resides in Long Island City, the Alaska of Brooklyn, with her husband and daughter. (Long story.)

Annaliese Griffin, Senior Editor

Annaliese writes about what she loves: food, agriculture, film, books and television. Her site is annaliesegriffin.com and her blog stylings can be found at groceryguy.blogspot.com. She lives on the raggedy edge of Williamsburg and Bed-Stuy in an area she likes to call Bedstuywicksburg.

Chrysanthe Tenentes, Managing Editor

Chrysanthe is a second generation Brooklynite, originally from Vermont, residing in Williamsburg. She can be found baking, biking, or in three places at once.
