Above all, Megan Peterson is a foodie. Thanks to her travels while dancing and performing, Megan knows New York City's Restaurant scene uptown and down. At her workplace, the dance studio, she is often asked "Where do I get a burger and a milkshake around here?" and "Is there any place that is reasonably priced, with great drinks, near midtown?" That lead Megan to gather her collection of foodie photos and give birth to FOODIE OUT LOUD where your struggle to find restaurants ends in NYC, NJ and other major cities.
