Brianne Manz is a fashion showroom owner turned mom of two and blogger. She lives with her husband, Jason, son Ryder, 3 years old, daughter Siella, 11 months and two dogs in Battery Park, New York City. When Ryder was born in 2008, Brianne decided that she wanted to devote all of her time to her family, and sold her showroom. As time passed, parenthood proved to be extremely rewarding, but she longed for something for herself-- some kind of creative outlet. Inspired by the incredible energy of the city, Brianne felt that she could serve as a resource for moms looking for lifestyle tips, along with advice for their kids, themselves and their entire family. Taking the idea of friends buzzing about life, love and luxury, a la Sex and the City and centering it on the family was her basis, she decided to write a blog called Stroller in the City. There, she posts places to shop, eat, and things to do with your little ones. Brianne has been quoted saying “Being a mom doesn’t mean you need to lose site of the cool stuff”.
