Gael Greene Cause of Death

Gael Greene, who reinvented the art of the restaurant review with sass and sensuality as New York magazine’s restaurant critic for four decades, died on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, at her home in a Manhattan assisted living facility.

Gael Greene was 88 years old. She died from cancer was the cause, according to her niece Dana Sachs Stoddard.

From 1957 to 1960, Greene worked as a reporter for the New York Post, where she sometimes worked undercover.

She worked for several magazines after that, but she didn’t break out until 1968 when she was hired as a restaurant critic for the newly formed New York Magazine, where her reviews ran until 2002 and where she continued to write until 2008.

Greene co-founded Citymeals on Wheels with her friend, culinary legend James Beard, after serving New York City diners for decades with her critiques and observations on the city’s food scene for New York magazine.

Citymeals has delivered 67 million privately funded meals to homebound residents since 1981. Greene received the James Beard Foundation’s Humanitarian of the Year award in 1992 for her work with the group.
