It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Ellen Swandiak. She was the founder and editor in chief of HOBNOB, an online lifestyle magazine, and co-author of The 500 Hidden Secrets of New York City, a travel guide series. Ellen was known for her sharp eye for design, her love of entertaining, and her deep knowledge of New York’s hidden culinary and cultural gems. She will be remembered for her creativity, warmth, and passion for celebrating life’s details. HOBNOB and hobnobmag.com will be going silent for the near future.
