A writer who has published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, New York, and Slate, among other outlets, Ross covers parties for GofG and when out often wonders how many hors d'œuvre samples it actually takes to make a square meal. He is a graduate of Princeton University, where he majored in comparative literature and earned a certificate in Russian & Eurasian studies. He maintains a fondness for the state of Oklahoma, and his hair has become something of a notorious fixture in the New York night life circuit.
