New York Dearest, for the press.
A New York City guide written by one person from her own visits, with a verdict on every place and the dates as they’re announced. This page has what you need to write about it and the one door for anything else.
The site in a paragraph
Cite freely, link backNew York Dearest is Antonina Pattiz’s guide to New York City. 439 guides and 2,280 places, every one visited by her, each graded worth it, only if, or skip. The site runs season trackers for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas with the dates as venues announce them, a trip planner built on her places, and yearly best-of lists with no order, every place she’d send you, which a place on the list can show as a badge. Businesses can’t pay to appear, and the method is published.
- Founded by Antonina Pattiz, who splits her time between New York and Portland.
- Photographs on the site are hers unless captioned otherwise. Press use of up to five images with credit “Antonina Pattiz / New York Dearest” is fine on request through the desk.
- Data behind any published number (a count, a date, a verdict) is available with the rows on request.

The door
One addressPress, corrections, interview and photo requests go to the desk at Halden Reed, which handles New York Dearest’s media. The desk reads every one and answers within a business day, Eastern time. Anything that needs Antonina reaches her through the desk.
Corrections from readers go through the ask page, not the press door. Pitches for placement are read and declined the same way, since nobody can pay to be on the site.
