Editorial Operations Manager

Kate Kassin writes about the latest restaurant openings and snacks we’re obsessed with and helps oversee projects like Best New Restaurants from conception to execution. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania with a BA in international relations, French and Francophone studies, and Hispanic studies, she dabbled in restaurant operations before joining the team at Condé Nast. Kate has always called the New York area home but misses the barbacoa tacos from her college years in Philly and the superior butter from her time in France. When she's not at her desk, you’ll likely find Kate in the test kitchen, scavenging for a sweet treat. Outside the office, she’s likely walking around the city searching for the best matcha or indulging in her scheduled nightly popcorn break.
