Hello! I’m Amy Plitt, a writer and editor with more than a decade of experience covering real estate, breaking news, pop culture, lifestyle and just about everything in between.
I’m currently a content strategist at the MTA, the largest public transportation agency in North America. I oversee the agency’s website, with the goal of demystifying public transit, and providing clear, concise and accurate information for our customers.
Before that, I was an editor for more than 10 years at publications such as The Real Deal, Curbed NY, Condé Nast Traveler and Time Out New York. I've contributed essays, criticism, reviews, and profiles to The New York Times, Rolling Stone, the New York Post, Architectural Digest, Bloomberg CityLab, BKLYNER, Bust, Mental Floss, the A.V. Club, Gothamist and more.
My work has been recognized by the Guides Association of New York, which named Curbed NY its Outstanding NYC Website at its 2018 Apple Awards. I’ve appeared on panels for the Center for Architecture, the Van Alen Institute, the Municipal Art Society, and Archtober, as well as on TV (Thirteen’s MetroFocus, Fox5NY) and the radio (WNYC’s All of It, The Brian Lehrer Show).
My first book, Subway Adventure Guide: New York City, was released in 2015 by Triumph Books. It's a handy guidebook to an oft-overlooked portion of New York's subway system: the more than 30 end-of-line subway stops, and the neighborhoods surrounding them.
