"A big part of my job is constantly going out and hanging out with people and exchanging information," he says. "I do feel like a natural consequence of that is being exposed to great bars and restaurants in New York."
"Half of the time, it's kind of like, Is this work? Are we just hanging out? " he says. "I don't really know. I enjoy that it's a little bit of both."
Max Tani is a media editor who covers internal editorial decisions at major outlets, newsroom turmoil at Condé Nast, and many layoffs. His reporting often requires going out for lunches, breakfast meetings, and lavish dinners that mix work and socializing. He routinely exchanges information with colleagues and sources at bars and restaurants across New York. On Wednesdays he wakes around eight, brews pour-over coffee, and catches up on email. He lives in South Slope near Green-Wood Cemetery, recently injured his knee, and substitutes runs with 45 minutes on a home exercise bike. He treats Wednesday as the start of the workweek because of a Sunday newsletter and had an 11 a.m. appearance on the BBC "Media Show."
