Advertising and Sponsorship

This website may accept forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation. Sponsorship received may occasionally influence the content, topics or posts. However, in order to maintain appropriate content and be true to readers, I only accept sponsored content that is a good match for the site. Sponsored posts will be noted as such.

Some advertorial links and banners may link to affiliate sites. If you click on those links and make a purchase, I may receive compensation, which helps offset the costs associated with this website. I may partner with certain brands for products or cash; these brands may be featured. Some businesses or products I promote do not provide compensation. My goal is to bring the best suggestions to readers.

The site may be compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. Even though this website receives compensation for posts or advertisements, I always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. The views and opinions expressed on this website are purely my own. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider, or party in question.

Photography

Most photos on this website are my own, but some are from outside sources as well as the public domain. I make every effort to credit photos when they are not my own or from the public domain. If a photo is in question or has not been credited properly, please send the post link and correct source using the blog’s contact page and I will address the issue and add a photo credit. If you are the source of the photo and would like the image removed, please contact me and I will honor your request immediately.

Wine

I occasionally receive wines for editorial coverage, however all reviews or mentions are of my own accord and not influenced by others. I do not guarantee coverage or mentions.

Press Trips

I sometimes partner with tourism boards, hotels and resorts, consortiums, etc. to explore places, wine, culture, et al. I prefer to personally experience each destination I write about and travel allows me to take a deeper dive into the place than if I had not visited.

While these trips may influence the content on this website, every word I write is my own. I won’t write about a destination that I wouldn’t return to or recommend.

A BLOG DEDICATED TO NEW YORK CITY

About Me

Hello!

Welcome to my corner of the world where you’ll find guides to places I’ve visited and loved, travel inspiration and photography, stories about food and wine, and an archive of New York articles from my past blog, “Tracy’s New York Life.”

I’ve lived in New York City since 2007, and I’ve been traveling the globe since 2015. My most exciting travel experiences include dune bashing in Abu Dhabi’s Empty Quarter, mountain biking in Cuenca, Ecuador, and hiking the Swiss Alps in a blizzard (without winter clothing!). On an oenophilic note, I’ve tasted wine in La Rioja, Bordeaux, and Piemonte (twice), as well as other wine regions in the US and abroad.

Have a look around and reach out through my contact page if you have questions or would like to connect. Thanks for being here!
