NYC can be a hard place to live. The rent is too high, the weather is reliably bonkers every single day and the subway can be a bit apocalyptic at times. Thank God, then, for places. That small gift shop where you can always find one-of-a-kind gifts. The coffee with decent coffee and solid wifi. And, of course, the local bars and clubs can’t live without. Now we want to hear about them all.
Time Out is launching its annual Love Local Awards today. They’re your chance to tell us about your favorite theater, gallery, bar, museum, restaurant or anything, to give it the exposure it deserves and show it some love. You can nominate as many venues as you like, of whatever type. Once the nominations are in, you’ll get a chance to vote on the ones you think are the stars of NYC. We’ll feature the most loved ones in Time Out, and those outstanding small businesses—the Time Out Love Local Award Winners of 2021—a valuable free marketing and advertising package to help them thrive.
