Service journalism – stories that help you shop a little smarter, find your new favorite restaurant, or get some much-needed advice – has always been at the core of what New York Magazine does, both in print and in our digital expressions. Our approach is obsessive and comprehensive, yet hyperspecific: It’s not just about finding what’s best or what’s new (though we certainly do quite a bit of that), it’s about finding the right choice for any given scenario or situation, no matter how unexpected or atypical. Where do you go for great barbecue in the Bronx? Which bike basket earns the respect of serious cyclists? Who’s the most accurate psychic in the city? What are the best movies on Netflix that you (probably) haven’t watched yet?
These are the questions we delight in answering. As a loyal newsletter reader, we want to introduce you to the full spectrum of service journalism and expert recommendations that we offer. Below, we’ve assembled some of our favorites that just might make your life a little bit easier.
