The cool mom, explained.

I'm Lulu Chang, a food, travel, and lifestyle journalist based in Washington, D.C. I've spent my career writing about where to eat, where to go, and how to live a little better in between.

The Cool Mom is the publication I wanted to read once I had a kid and realized nobody was covering the good life for people who still wanted one. Every stay, meal, and trip here is vetted, design-forward, and doable with a small human in tow.

Bylines in Resy, Eater DC, Hotels Above Par, InsideHook, USA Today, and more. Say hi at hello@thecool.mom.
