Hello Patch readers!
I'm the Manhattan local editor covering Midtown, Harlem and the Upper East Side. I started working on Patch's national news desk in 2015, and joined the New York City editorial team when Patch's Manhattan sites launched in 2016.
I graduated from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University in 2015. If you like my reporting, please sign up for Patch's newsletters and consider following me on Twitter @Brendan_Krisel.
