Liza Rothkoff enjoys listening to music and spending quality time with her dogs. She has an obsession with French Bulldogs and Labbits (don’t ask). She loves her guitar named Edwin and The Pick of Destiny. Liza spends her summers going French Bulldog spotting in New York City. She loves telling people about her Bill Murray story, although it isn’t really a story at all. Her favorite games are Bunny, Bunny and Pterodactyl (the vegetable version). If you can’t find her, she is probably on the shuttle going back and forth between Grand Central and Times Square.
