Boo York City is a collection of articles covering the fascinating, beautiful, historic and quirky elements of New York and its inhabitants. These stories are unearthed by Boo Paterson and shared with a global audience of readers who, in turn, support the project with online subscriptions. She also used to work undercover for a professional gambler before running away to New York to try to break o
ne of her singers there. The singer didn’t get a record deal, but Boo did fall in love with New York, its culture, nightlife and people. Over a 25-year career in journalism, she has worked as a features and travel writer, classic car columnist and sub-editor on broadsheets, tabloids and online publications. Boo’s interest in culture is fostered by her own life-long participation in the arts scene, as a cabaret and burlesque producer, film production co-ordinator, ringmaster of vintage circuses, and with the creation of her own pop-up artworks, paintings and stained-glass.
