About
Founded more than three decades ago, Our Town serves the East Side of Manhattan from Turtle Bay to Carnegie Hill—some of the most affluent neighborhoods in the country. It is the largest and most widely read publication of its type in the area. Complimentary copies are distributed in more than 1,000 residential buildings and street boxes throughout the served communities.
Our Town, published weekly, is chock full of information—from hard news to human interest stories—that helps residents and businesspeople keep up with the goings-on in their neighborhood. It regularly covers politics, education, crime and issues of immediate concern. Our Town’s regular calendar feature, City Week, which it shares with sister publication The West Side Spirit, highlights important cultural and community events.
Simply put, Our Town is a must-read for anyone who wants to keep abreast of information rarely touched on by the large citywide newspapers and broadcast media.
