Texas-born, New York-based journalist Paige Darrah has covered the reopening of New York's Waldorf Astoria for WSJ, President Macron’s Bernese Mountain Dog for Town & Country; and profiled Dapper Dan in The New York Times. She spends summers at New Hampshire's difficult-to-spell Lake Winnipesaukee, and is keen to cover that region's charming, undersung Americana. She went to grad school for French.
