Background

About Alex Mitchell

As a features reporter with the New York Post, it's a thrill to seek out the thoughts of New Yorkers on timely – and often fun – topics like:$5 becoming the “benchmark” for a slice of NYC pizza, hostility toward the thumbs up emoji, and whether or not “guilt tipping” on pay tablets has gone too far. Unearthing wildly true stories — like Marlon Brando repeatedly mooning the cast & crew on “The Godfather” set or how a 20-something year old petty thief stole and hid England’s most famous, protected painting for years — is another area on which I’m proud to report. I deeply covered the emerging field of artificial intelligence as well. I also covered the 2022 Little League World Series, reporting the boys from Massapequa Coast as they embarked on their first ever Williamsport journey. I’m a proud Long Islander and began writing for The Bronx Times in 2018 after attending Hofstra University the year prior. While up in the boogie down borough, I also hosted “The BX Express” TV show before stepping up to the plate as a New York Yankees beat reporter for amNewYork Metro during the 2020 and early 2021 seasons. When I’m off the beat and relaxing, it’s usually with either pizza or a cheesesteak in hand while watching “The Sopranos.”
