Quick answers

Things people ask us

Is this a website about New York?

No, and honestly, that's the whole joke. This is a website about York, England: the original York, founded in 71 AD, the city New York was named after in 1664. If you arrived here looking for Manhattan, stay a while anyway. Ours has better walls.

Why do you only publish good news?

Because bad news is already extremely well catered for. We think there's room for one corner of the internet where York only makes you feel better, so that's what we built. If a story doesn't leave you a little fonder of the city, we don't run it.

Can I write for Y'all New York?

If you live in or around York and can write warmly about it: yes, please. Send a short pitch through the form above or to hello@yallnewyork.org. First-time writers very welcome; enthusiasm beats experience here.

Do you cover businesses? Is coverage paid?

We love writing about York independents, and nobody can pay to be featured. If we cover your café, shop or project, it's because we genuinely rate it. That's the only way the recommendation stays worth anything.

How do I get the newsletter?

Pop your email in the Sunday Rose box below. One email a week, the best of the site, no spam. Unsubscribe whenever you like. No hard feelings, we'll assume you moved to the other York.
