Sonal Shah
Senior Editor, NYC
As a journalist and editor for nearly two decades, Sonal’s done a little bit of everything—from writing restaurant reviews to launching newsrooms, to running a food pop-up. She grew up in Maryland, and lived in New Delhi for many years, working at publications like Time Out, VICE and The Caravan, before moving back to the US and joining the Infatuation as NYC Editor. She's obsessed with all things New York, but will still take a kebab over a hot dog any day.
