“Time Out New York is an essential life partner for any New Yorker.
Whether they’re reading the magazine at home, using the site at
work or downloading the app when they’re on the go, they shouldn’t
even attempt to navigate this city without us.
We are their most-trusted source of entertainment, information and
inspiration. No-one knows New York, or New Yorkers, better than
us.”
- Terri White, Editor in Chief

Our Mission
Time Out New York provides social adventurers and
cultural explorers with the inspiration and information
they need to make the most of the best city in the world.
Our fan base is united by a universal characteristic:
FOMO, or Fear Of Missing Out. We ensure they don’t
miss out by filtering, curating and editorializing exactly
what they want, how they want it and where they want it.
From dining, nightlife and theater to the arts, music and
culture, Time Out New York is the undisputed authority
on what to do and what to see – wherever you are.
