The Garden State Journalism Award winners were announced today and a piece I wrote took 3rd place for Lifestyle/Travel. The exciting part about this win is that it was for a food review on local restaurant Otto Strada on a small town website called Life in Hoboken. Typically, the bigger print outlets take these awards and I am happy to gain visibility for both LifeinHoboken.com (founded by an awesome colleague Allan Zuniga who I have worked with for two years) and Otto Strada (which is owned by a very lovely Hoboken couple). Check out the winning piece here.

Congrats to all fellow winners today!
