Amy Loewenberg of NY NOW

If you're anything like me, most of your visual stimulation these days is limited to your house, your neighborhood and whatever it is you're looking at on various screens. Hopefully Instagram figures in there somewhere, but if you are not following @amy.atnynow, the riveting feed of my guest today, Amy Loewenberg, Relations & Partnership Development Manager for NY NOW, you are not doing that platform correctly! You never know what fantastic shop in and around New York City and its environs that Amy will be featuring. It is dynamic, and it's filled with wonder and surprises, just like shopping in The Before Times! This visually rich, exciting travelogue is the next best thing to experiencing the city yourself. Amy, who also generates webinars and podcasts for NY NOW, visits The Paper Fold to talk not just NYC retail, but NY NOW Digital Market, plus plans for the physical NY NOW Market slated to return to Javits Center in August 2021. This highly anticipated event marks the physical debut of the market's reimagined Gift + Stationery section — and I know I am not the only one who can't wait to experience this highly curated, target destination for myself! This episode finds me switching up the format a bit. I have a few questions for Amy, then she interviews me (!), and then we have some exciting news to share. Tune in to be one of the first in the know! **Thank You Sponsors** Please be sure to support these all-American, women-owned houses of paper. Girl w/Knife is your incredibly sharp new stationery BFF.
