About

Fancy meeting you here! I’m Lara Ziobro and I’m so glad you found your way here to Grits in the City, my little slice of the internet pie. I’m originally from Alabama, but I guess you could say I was just city hopping my way along the East Coast to make my way to NYC just over ten years ago. Although our family just made our move out to the suburbs, NYC is still very much a part of my life, and this blog.

I’m a SVP global comms and marketing, working by day at a large firm here in NYC. Grits in the City captures the essence of life for a Southern girl making her way through the skyscrapers – from the food, the style, and the life – that makes living in the New York City metro area the incomparable experience it is. Pull up a chair and let’s dig in.
