For the past 7 years our team at NYC Tourism + Conventions has produced stories that give deep access to the people, communities, cultures and neighborhoods that make New York City. what it is. From the depths of the pandemic to the Heights of ... Washington ... (uh, go with me here), our goal continues to be to attract visitors to the most essential experiences NYC has to offer.



<< EMMY WINNER >>  FAMOUS ORIGINAL NEW YORK CITY: An Emmy® Award winning survey of New York City’s sites, sounds, flavors, attitudes and characters.



NYC LOCAL LEGENDS - WASHINGTON HEIGHTS WITH HECTOR ESPINAL: First of a five part series on “hyperlocal” exploration. Our mission at NYC Tourism is to equitably spread the wealth generated by our millions of visitors to the essential neighborhoods, communities and cultures that make up the fabric of New York City.





<< EMMY WINNER >>  THE FREEDOM TO BE - BLACK SURFERS IN THE ROCKAWAYS: One of three in our Emmy® Award winning series, our goal is to reveal the remarkably diverse communities and cultures that exist within the Black experience in New York City.





ALL IN NYC: New York City was staggered by the pandemic. Tourism contributes billions of dollars in individual income alone, and it cratered.  As the tourism authority for New York City we had to act in any way we could to help keep the tourism economy going, within the constraints of the disaster, and with an eye towards the inevitable recovery. The All In NYC campaign was designed to show proof of vibrant city life that refused to fade, and to remind travel-restricted locals that the world’s greatest destination was right out their front doors.  


All In NYC: Love Your Local News Stand
All In NYC:  Meet The Bronx’s Beer Brothers
All In NYC: Isn’t That The ‘Goodfellas’ Bar?





<< EMMY WINNER >>   IT’S TIME FOR NEW YORK CITY: Our Emmy® Award winning campaign let the world know we were back and open for business (and fun).  After just over a year of immense difficulty and struggle, visitation began to recover in earnest, returning to near pre-pandemic levels in 2023.





GET LOCAL: BRONX LIKE A NEW YORKER: I don’t care what anyone says... everyone wants to be like a New Yorker, at least once in their lives.  This series gives a little taste of it, borough by borough. This one’s all about The Bronx.
