New York Travel Beat is a free resource and video guide for all your favorite New York City attractions, offbeat entertainment, discount travel deals, unique tours, hotel finder, travel tips, inside information and so much more.

Living in Brooklyn, New York for the past eight years, I've come to know the city as both a local and tourist. As a travel writer for several online publications, I'm always looking at the city with the fresh eyes of a curious visitor. And that means I spend my work hours researching the best in quality, discount travel - and my off-time writing about it here.

Even NYC locals like to sight-see in their city (regardless if they'll admit it or not), and there's plenty to see and do here. I'll show you some of the tried and true classics that keep tourists coming back year after year, little known New York City attractions, unique finds... and my own personal favorites.
