Modeled after Schneps Media’s wildly successful Best of the Boro and Best of Long Island competitions, The City’s Best program gives you the power to choose the best businesses in Manhattan – “east side, west side, uptown, downtown, all around the town!” Through The City’s Best campaign, you’ll nominate (and later vote for) Manhattan businesses in a wide variety of categories. There will be only one first-place winner in each category crowned THE CITY’S BEST.

Schneps Media, publisher of The Villager, Downtown Express, Chelsea Now, Manhattan Express, New York Family, Gay City News, and several other local outlets, utilizes all of their media assets to promote the program – including the nomination period, voting round, and listing of all the winners.

Each business that wins gets the right to use the “Best Of” logo/mark, which is promoted through a tremendous amount of marketing including plaques, banners, print advertisements, digital marketing, social media marketing, outdoor advertising, email signatures, business cards, and much more. Recognition means the world to the winners, and along with that distinction comes a great deal of pride.

The City’s Best’s impact is undeniable – it touches hearts and changes lives with these unique and distinguished marks of excellence.
