Kate Mooney

Cannabis journalist at Gothamist, USA
USA
Cannabis
Culture
Lifestyle

As Gothamist's foremost chronicler of NYC's cultural underbelly, Mooney specializes in stories where food, music, and urban eccentricities collide. Her work sits at the intersection of cannabis culture and urban anthropology, with a focus on grassroots movements rather than institutional initiatives.

Key Coverage Areas

  • Culinary Subcultures: From crab boil economics to stoner food science
  • DIY Arts Scenes: Underground venues, guerrilla public art, folk revival movements
  • Urban Wellness: Neighborhood-specific health initiatives, environmental justice issues

Pitching Guidelines

Do:

  • Lead with surprising data (e.g., "This Queens block has 3x more accordion repair shops than any other NYC location")
  • Include multimedia elements (her viral Home Depot skeleton map received 2.8M views)
  • Connect trends to physical NYC locations

Don't:

  • Pitch celebrity chefs or Michelin-starred restaurants
  • Assume cannabis = dispensaries (focus on cultural impacts)
  • Overlook outer-borough stories

Career Highlights

  • 12+ years contributing to NYT, GQ, and Vox
  • 2024 James Beard Media Award winner
  • Creator of NYC's viral "Subway Ad Anthropology" thread
