For decades, Time Out New York has been providing a constant stream of worthwhile events and serving as a record of the city’s culture, speaking to readers as if they were our closest friends.

But we’re more than just a city magazine—the staff here are New Yorkers, too, and want to connect with you about city living and all it entails: dining, going out, the latest in theater and art and much more.

You’ll get to hear from our New York City experts directly with weekly columns by our editors called “Let Me Tell You” that go live on our website each Wednesday and be featured in our weekly Thursday newsletters.

As always, thanks for reading!
