An active supporter of the Tenement Museum and Landmark Preservation Commission, Chanya is enamored by the stories behind every apartment, building, block, park, and graveyard in New York City. When not working, Chanya can be found at a dog park with her mini poodle mix named Gram (Gramercy), on a CitiBike, at a delicious restaurant with many pescatarian options, or at a cocktail bar with friends. In the winter, you might spot her at a museum or Jewish lecture series, or surrounded by travel guides or historical tomes in one of NYC’s great Public Libraries. Chanya resides in a condo in the Union Square area with her husband, new baby, and dog.
