Caroline spent a year walking hundreds of miles through every borough of New York City to get a grip on what's out there and where to find it and to learn about how the small business economy works on a bigger scale. Through her research, Caroline discovered that NYC really does have it all. The Locavore Guide is here not only for locating that thing you need to buy but also to help you learn how to use your regular errands as a reason to get out and engage with your surroundings and visit neighborhoods you've yet to explore. Join Caroline in seeing the city through the lens of a Locavore!Here, Caroline shares her journey from running a specialty pencil store in her early 20s to developing the amazing directory that is The Locavore Guide. She dives into all the lessons she learned as a young retail shop owner and why she's passionate about keeping the pulse on independent retail.

In a world where you’re sitting in front of a keyboard more often than a notebook, analog writing utensils and stationery feel more sacred.
