Emma Orlow is a reporter and editor. 

Find her bylines in the New York Times, New York Magazine, T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Vogue, and more. 

She was formerly an editor at Eater, reporting on restaurant signmakers, naughty cookbooks, grocery store animatronics, overdose prevention in hospitality, a shop for hard-to-find ingredients, and a Queens food bazaar. She edited a feature package about old-school candy shops and helped execute the Eater Guide to New York City.

Beyond the restaurant beat, she's written about the world's largest dollhouse miniatures convention, the vintage clothing scene, a ceramics studio working with formerly incarcerated individuals, a tailor shop with ornate repair work, perfume trends, unconventional artist residencies, and urban apple-picking. No matter the subject matter, she often enjoys covering obsessive collectors and the small businesses that make New York City — where she was born and raised — so special.
