Stassi Schroeder Celebrated Her Book Release with This Perfectly Basic Meal
The Next Level Basic author had a classic New York City snack — and then proceeded to snap a selfie with it.
When in New York City, at least one of your lunches should come straight from a street cart. Never one to break from convention — after all, she wrote the literal handbook on being Next Level Basic — Stassi Schroeder took that rule to heart on a recent visit to the Big Apple. On tour to promote her new book, the newly minted author and longtime hot-dog lover celebrated its release with the classic New York snack.
