4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed bag..., May 10, 2003

By	T. Reinhardt "olivia lee" (east coast) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Some plusses and minuses with this magazine.. First I just LOVE the crossword puzzle. Its alot of fun, usually has a twist of irony but still makes you think but is do-able for most people... unlike say the Times..which I have alot of difficulty with. I love that it is a weekly magazine..When so many magazines have gone to 10, or even 6 issues a year...its just plain nice to get one this often... The topics are current and timly. Some are downright fun in an escapist way... I enjoy the resturant reviews quite a bit.

That said... The products are petty much out of my reach. It is definately for an upscale audience with a high income. I like reading about these things sometimes but I do get a bit weary of reading about a new designer renovating a brownstone, yet again... or what a socailite serves for lunch. I don't feel this is the general focus of the magazine (say like town&country) so I do keep reading it on a semi-regular basis.

Interestingly the times I have subscribed on a more regular basis generally were times I lived away from the area. Nostalgia, I guess. I can't really see the appeal for this magazine to an audience outside the metropolitan are. It seems to me that its a more local, albeit not small, magazine...

5.0 out of 5 stars great magazine for New Yorkers, July 8, 2006

A Kid's Review

I used to subscribe to Time Out New York and wanted a little more than bars/clubs listings or interviews with some weird artists. I found it in New York magazine. I liked its special sections on Best Lawyers and Doctors in NYC. I liked its monthly listing of fun activities in NYC . I liked its summer vacation sections. I liked its one-day getaway ideas. Too many things to list...it's a magazine for mature adults who want useful information as well as ideas on fun places to go to.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best New York magazine, July 27, 2005

By	Eric Lam (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well written, highly informative and with a recent redesign one of the best looking city magazines I've seen. Always interesting lead articles and great food reviews (better than the main competition Time Out). Only real quibbles are that their event listings aren't as comprehensive as Time Out, but there is so much better writing here that it doesn't really compare.
