Time Out New York

I look forward to every Wednesday so I can pick up my free copy of the magazine. The dating column is very intriguing to me as I am a single woman living in NYC and believe me its so difficult to date and find that right person for you. Yesterday’s issue of the best 25 pizza spots in NY was pretty awesome.
Check it out and pick up your free copy

I live in the DC area and make frequent trips to NYC on weekends. Purchased a subscription for activities planning because the weekly issues cover events from Wednesday through Tuesday, and the issues are promised to arrive by Thursday each week. Rarely did my magazine arrive by Thursday, however, making it useless to me. Usually it arrived on Saturday, and sometimes as late as the following Wednesday. Time Out New York suggested that I contact my PO and I did several times, but that didn’t help and they never offered me a refund on my subscription. Don’t subscribe if you need your magazine in time but don’t live in the city.

I didn’t know you could review a magazine/​website on here but 16 others did it already so why not. Time Out New York is the best overall place to get well rounded info on restaurants, events, movies, and so on in NYC. It’s not perfect and they miss things from time to time but it’s really the place to go if you want to stay in touch with what’s going on in the city. Best of all a yearly subscription is dirt cheap.
Each week a new issue comes out and has good articles highlighting something worth knowing in the city. One of the highlights for me is the sex advice article by Jamie Buffalino on the back page which is always fun to read.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a tourist or a native New Yorker, if you want a sense of what’s going on in the city, T.O.N.Y should be one of your go-​to sources.

I’ve read the magazine a few times in my life, but the website is where it’s at. It’s so great to be able to access their lists and articles that can give you quick access to what’s going on in the City.
I wish more newspapers and magazines would incorporate the style the TONY utilizes. You can find out sooooo much info on where to go, or what do with their magazine and website. They should really come out with a quarterly little to-​go booklet/​guide on the latest trends for each borough.

I had the pleasure of visiting the TONY headquarters for a photo shoot*. The office space is absolutely stunning and is decked out with one of the highest NYC ceilings that I’ve ever seen**. The staff were very friendly, and the photographer that was assigned to the spread was super comforting and patient. Thank goodness for that, as the only time in my life that I’ve ever had my picture taken professionally was for school yearbooks***. Not to mention the fact that I was totally overwhelmed by the fact that my single-​dom was going to be broadcasted for all of NYC to see!
All of the correspondence that I had with the spread writer, fact-​checkers, and photo shoot organizers were super courteous and professional. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
…and, the magazine! It wouldn’t even be a little bit of an exaggeration to say that I would be the most boring guy in NYC without the help of my weekly issue of TONY.
TONY provides his consulting services to me for less than twenty bucks a year AND he’s delivered right to my door every week. Best. Wingman. EVER. I’ll be a subscriber for as long as I’m a New Yorker. Which, at this point, will most likely be forever.

*I was featured in a recent «single in the city» spread. Of course I’m not telling you how many dates I went on. I’m a modest man. :P
** Except the glass ceiling, of course.
*** And we all know how great those end up coming out.

I have a subscription and its well worth it! They have such a comprehensive list of places to check out in the city. No matter what you’re in the mood for they have a place that will satisfy your mood and need.
I love their free things to do lists, and their list of places to shop. Great mag, and def. useful!

I’ve only seen the print mag once, but I do refer to the web site everyday.
My fav part is the free things to do each day in the city. It’s how I become a maven of free awesomeness.

more like ‘Time Out Brooklyn’

I am a fan of this mag for sure. I have gotten access to so many events (free and otherwise) that I wouldn’t even KNOW about had it not been for TONY. Their articles are great, their interviews are fun… However, I cannot give this magazine a perfect score despite it’s amazingness. Why? Because their movie reviews are amongst the worst I’ve EVER read. No wait, yes consistently the WORST I HAVE EVER READ!
They remind me of a 3^rd grade book report. They just summarize what the movie is about, spoiling it for everyone who hasn’t seen it. On top of that they never give movies made in the USA a good score. Every foreign film or movies from the 50s gets 5 stars (formerly 6 stars) and the USA movies can’t seem to keep up. Man do I hate their movie reviews… everything else though, is great.

Lucky enough to have a free ToNY subscription, as I wouldn’t pay for a hard subscription otherwise. Lot of garbage pages but some helpful stuff even if you’re not new to the city.

In an effort to clean out my apartment to move, I literally just skimmed two years of Time Outs and I have to say, you’ve got the ball rolling alright, rolling right downhill.
–Removing the Borough Standings, idiotic.
–Decent restaurant and bar reviews but I don’t use them because the average reviews on here are more accurate…
–Letting Kate Lowenstein scour the city for people who are apparently either tourists here or horrible stereotypes of NYC itself, a waste of two pages.
–Adding the Seek section, better move. But having a hipster slant to it, FAIL.
–Hiring then firing that dating famewhore writer, then putting in instead the «date this ___»…really moronic move. The one you did on rugby players was the most poorly done yet.
–Not letting Jamie Buffalino take over the entire space of the «dance,» «club,» or «art» sections… a weekly poor decision as he’s the only person you have on staff who isn’t either a clueless hipster or just a shit excuse for a writer.
In closing, I can take comfort that all the addresses were removed from the front covers. Not because I fear identity theft, but because I don’t want my neighbors to know I subscribed to that crap.

Great magazine for people that want to explore NYC and its environs. I am not a subscriber, but every now and again, I do like to buy one and read it from cover to cover like a good novel! Yes I am a NERD.
Only complaint: the website is a bit slow and takes a long time to load.

I like it how it gives the upcoming events so you can plan what you want to do, also has a dine out section which i look into some times.

Adequate.
I bought this because it had a work out special. I enjoy the advice column but I don’t see why anyone should pay for a whiter, more pretentious version of the Metro.

While I do not subscribe, I really enjoy both the Time Out New York magazine and website. Both are just chock full of NY information. From the arts to the local nightlife scene… they have it covered. Definitely pick up a copy when visiting New York, or get one even if you live here. It has everything for the true NY experience.

Greatest weekly magazine on the planet. I believe EVERYTHING printed in it. I’ve been reading it for 7 years and a subscriber for 4.
Between TONY, Village Voice and New York magazine, you will know everything going on in this fun, crazy city. Time Out always gives you the scoop on free stuff and cheap things to do. I also believe their movie reviews are the most accurate I’ve known.
Time Out, if you were a chick, I would marry you BUT I would need a little somethin, somethin on the side with my bottom bitch, Village Voice.

Time Out is great. It has listings of everything happening all over the city. Whatever you want to know about in the city it’s in there.

I. Love. Time Out. I don’t know what it is about it, but I’m always happy to find it in my mailbox every Wednesday. It’s just a fun magazine.
They always have something really insightful about the city, but in a tongue-​in-​cheek sort of way. It’s just really goofy. It definitely tries too hard to be cool, but I find it endearing.
They’re good at aggregating fun stuff to do. Especially free and cheap stuff.
