About Meg Nieslanik

Two years ago, New York City wasn’t even on the radar of one small-town cowgirl and farmer’s daughter, Meg Nieslanik. But now, a year and half after the move east, this 24-year-old Colorado kid has never felt more at home walking to work through Washington Square Park, lox bagel in hand.

No diss to Punxsutawney, but my new found admiration for the holiday is unrelated to the weather predicting rodent or western Pennsylvania. Instead, it has everything [...]
