The rules for using OurNYCity.com, written as plainly as we could manage.

Last updated: September 30, 2026

These terms apply to your use of OurNYCity.com (“the site”, “we”, “us”). By using the site, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Our content is for general information

Everything on this site is written to help you explore and enjoy New York City. It’s general information, not professional advice of any kind, including legal, financial, medical or real estate advice.

We work hard to keep our articles accurate, but details change often in New York. Restaurants close, prices go up, opening hours change and events get rescheduled. Always confirm important details with the venue or organizer before you rely on them.

Using our content

The articles, design and original photography on this site belong to us or to the people who licensed them to us. Some photos are used under license from their photographers, who are credited where they appear.

You’re welcome to read, share and link to our articles. You may quote short extracts with a credit and a link back to the original page. You may not copy whole articles, republish our content on another website or use it for commercial purposes without our written permission.

Things you shouldn’t do

  • Use the site in a way that breaks the law.
  • Try to gain unauthorized access to the site, its server or its admin area.
  • Scrape or copy the site’s content in bulk, including for training automated systems, without our permission.
  • Send spam or malicious code through our forms.

What you send us

If you send us a message, tip or pitch, you confirm that it doesn’t break anyone else’s rights. Sending us an idea doesn’t create any obligation for us to publish it or pay for it. When we commission an article, we’ll agree the terms with the writer separately.

Links to other websites

We link to many other websites, including restaurants, museums, hotels and ticket sellers. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, prices, availability or privacy practices. A link isn’t an endorsement of everything on that site.

Sponsored content and affiliate links

If we publish sponsored content or use affiliate links, we’ll label them clearly. Our editorial recommendations are not for sale.

No warranties

The site is provided “as is”. We don’t guarantee that it will always be available, error-free or up to date.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for any loss or damage that results from your use of the site or your reliance on its content, including a wasted trip, a closed restaurant or a booking made with a third party. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that can’t be limited by law.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle any personal information you send us.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when they last changed. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA.
